<< I just got back from driving an hour and a half one way (total of three hour drive), only to be told when I got there that this doctor cannot rx for me. He claims that the board of pharmacuticals told him that he has no more power to rx than a regular GP and that he needed to send his patients that are in need of opiates to a specialist??? He WAS a specialist- his business card says M.D., Ph.D. Diplomate of American Board of Anesthesia and American Board of Pain Medicine??? WTF is this doctor talking about? I probably should have asked specifics but I was crying and in pain- he decided that he needed to test me for FMS before telling me he was limited on his rx’ing abilities. It always causes me great pain when someone touches me in certain places. He did prescribe me a whopping SIXTY percocette. Big Deal… I am so frustrated…. It did cross my mind that maybe he did not believe me, but then I wondered why would he rx percocete if he didn’t think I was for real? I didn’t beg or get violent with him or anything. I just nodded my head and before I could walk out the door the tears started rolling. He followed me and wrote the rx for percocete. I dunno why he even did it. He said that he would be writting my doctor a note explaining that he can no longer accept new patients for narcotic pain control and that I would need to be refered to a "specialist"…. grrrrrrrrrrr Life… REALLY…. REALLY…. sucks. Tammy PS: thank you guys anyway for your prayers and well wishing. Tammy, do you think it’s possible this doctor is in some trouble with the board of pharmaceuticals? It sounds like he is telling you that he’s been told he can’t accept patients for opiate treatment, that he can’t practice his specialty. Can you do some research with the physician licensing board? I don’t get the impression he didn’t believe you and your need for treatment. Good luck. Jennie

It truly amazes me how people like you can hide behind a anonymous keyboard and make your snide remarks. In person you people are meek as mice. That’s because people can’t smack you in the mouth from a keyboard. Some people in the world have real problems and then they find a twit like you. I don’t think that’s what they need.

Response:
Tammy, I’m SO sorry you had this experience! I’ll keep praying for you to find the right DR. Did you get his name from Skip’s list? I have left many DR’ s offices this very same way over the yrs & is the reason I’m dragging my feet about driving 3hrs to the nearest pain management DR! I’m so afraid it will turn out like yours did. Jennie is right & is on to something about this DR. SO many are paranoid since the damned Oxy scare! Hang in there, Tammy & keep looking! Peace ~Stacie~

This dost really sucketh Tammy 
Please don’t give up. Harold suggested phoning Dr.Joel Hochman, in Houston, Texas…it seems he will give you the name of a pain doctor near you. Perhaps others in the group will know of other pathways you can take to find someone. It would have been nice to know that before you made the drive wouldn’t it! I think that Jennie is probably right, there may be something going on with his license, or he may just have decided it’s too much trouble and red tape..in any case it would seem he’d tak the pain specialist off of his name! Best of luck to you codeee

Well today is the day!!! I have waited months to see a pain specialist and today my husband, kids and I are driving almost two hours (one way) to see the one my GP refered me to. I normally do not request prayers but in this case, I desperately need them. My appointment is at 8:15am (EST). I’m a nervous wreck. I keep wondering, what will I do if he doesn’t help me? I got about two hours sleep and am running on empty too. Please guys- pray for me to finally get the help I need and deserve. I can’t tell you how many times I have regretted trying to get a new GP. Thanks Tammy

Response:
Aim, I m a little late in finding this thread but want you to know Im sending you guys my best thoughts. Sounds like a very special dog. They are amazing and will really surprise you in cases like this. Hope she continues to surprise you everyday. I nearly lost my child hood dog when he was 3. Got run over by a truck pulling a horse trailer. Crushed all the bone in one leg and even though they had to metal rod that one and spend a month nursing him back from a collapsed lung, he lived to be 18 yrs. old and never did stop chasing cars. So, heres hoping Keta just keeps getting stronger every day. johnie
Response:
Anyway, thank you for any prayers and good vibes and whatnot. Please continue em. Keta needs them, and so does her family.
Yes, losing an animal you are that close to, is losing a member of your family. I wish the dog well, and your Aunt and her family as well. I just hope they keep her quality of life in their thoughts. It would hurt terribly to lose her, but it would be far worse to hang on to her if she becomes paralyzed or remains in extreme pain. Quality of life. Char "Remember, I’m pulling for ya’. We’re all in this together." Red Green
Response:
Sending prayers that she continue to do well. I’ve found that vets tend to over estimate how bad the outcome might be in most cases. They want to make really sure the family is prepared for the worst. One of my twin 5 lb poodles ruptured a disc in her back about six years ago. At the moment she is barking her fool head off over absolutely nothing. And her sister is doing the same. They’re almost 14, nearly deaf and nearly blind, but sense of taste and smell work just great and they still love to cuddle and keep me sane. Jo
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Thanks everyone who responded, as well as any who didn’t but have been praying. Keta came home today and is able to walk!! She is still very unsteady, and still nowhere near being "out of the woods" as it is still possible that the cord could swell or the disc shift position and further injure her. They have fashioned a brace from stiff foam exercise mats, and are ordering a doggie life jacket that extends from neck to tail in oder to keep her spine from bending. She will be penned for at least a month. She’s on the oxyc*ntin patch as well as massive doses of steroids and other pain meds. So she’s pretty looped, poor baby. But she is home. What I didn’t explain about Keta before is she isn’t "just a dog." This dog helped her mom (my aunt) survive major depression, and she rescued a neighbor from a burglar last year — the burglars were caught, too, because of her. She is like a 100-lb cat, as she was raised by two cats. She and the cats groom each other, and she pounces and chases wasps right alongside the cats. Hysterical to watch. She is also the dog they got after their previous dog was hit and killed by a car right in front of their then 6 and 8 year old sons when they were in the woods playing in snow. So the boys, now 14 and 16, have been that much more upset, because they have already had such a tragic loss. Anyway, thank you for any prayers and good vibes and whatnot. Please continue em. Keta needs them, and so does her family. Aim Yikes, just caught the message about Keta and hope she
will soon be running – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – around with a big doggy smile soon. Kelly C.;o) While I was in Canada for the week, My aunt’s dog Keta (key’-tuh) fell down the cliffs at the back of their house Thursday and injured her back quite badly. She is coming home from the hospital today. She’s got at least one slipped disc that is pressing on the spinal cord enough that while she has feeling in her back legs she’s lost the propioception (doesn’t know where they are in space). This is the impulse that runs down the furthest outside layer of the cord. So, poor baby, she is heavily
sedated and will have – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – to be in a pen and carried even outside to pee for at least a month. This is a HUGE dog (lab/bouvier mix) so carrying her outside isn’t easy. Rescuing her from her fall was an adventure in engineering. And of course it was dark out so it was that much harder. When it first happened we thought she had dislocated her hip and broken her leg, because it was hanging at a funny angle, but it’s because it was completely paralyzed at first. Luckily, the sling we created to help her was probably the best thing we could have done because it held her back stable too. She was in a LOT of pain. So, please say a few prayers for Keta. She is in a lot of danger still of the disc slipping further and paralyzing her, or of the cord swelling and doing the same. They don’t have the money to give her the surgery she’d need if that were to happen. It would cost $5k-7k. Best case scenario, the disc resolves itself with steroids and bedrest, and she is fine, though she’ll have to slow down a bit. No more imitating a mountaingoat on the cliffs, as she has done since she was a baby. Thanks, Aim make sure to remove the spam protection from my address!

Thanks Jo, Yeah vets do sometimes seem to do that. What was worrisome is that she was partially paralyzed, and we didn’t know how permanent that might be. The vets she saw were pretty good about giving us "best case, worst case, most likely" scenarios so that the family could start making decisions about what to do in each case. Thanks for the info on your dog. Jan will be happy to hear that she recovered well — I know she is super worried about how Keta’s quality of life will be. And what they might have to do as far as pain control, and how much pain is the cutoff of what is fair to her to have to handle, etc. Hopefully that will all be a moot point. I just talked to Jan while I was writing this, and she said to tell everyone thank you again. She feels like the prayers and stuff must be helping, cuz Keta is quite bright-eyed today, and is holding her own for now. She’s penned, and they have to carry her out to pee and such, but she is hanging in there, and only cries a little sometimes. Aim make sure to remove the spam protection from my address!

Thanks, though it was a good thing we were there. The family was so upset they couldnt digest the things the vet said, plus my mom has so much knowledge of medicine and injury mechanics, especially spinal ones (her specialty) that she was super super helpful with getting Keta immobilized and into the vet, as well as "translating" for Jan (my aunt). Hopefully Keta will do better and better. Aim make sure to remove the spam protection from my address! It should read: aim (at) arthritisinsight (dot com)

Sending good thoughts for Keta. GramPaHugs, Alex, – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – While I was in Canada for the week, My aunt’s dog Keta (key’-tuh) fell down the cliffs at the back of their house Thursday and injured her back quite badly. She is coming home from the hospital today. She’s got at least one slipped disc that is pressing on the spinal cord enough that while she has feeling in her back legs she’s lost the propioception (doesn’t know where they are in space). This is the impulse that runs down the furthest outside layer of the cord. So, poor baby, she is heavily sedated and will have to be in a pen and carried even outside to pee for at least a month. This is a HUGE dog (lab/bouvier mix) so carrying her outside isn’t easy. Rescuing her from her fall was an adventure in engineering. And of course it was dark out so it was that much harder. When it first happened we thought she had dislocated her hip and broken her leg, because it was hanging at a funny angle, but it’s because it was completely paralyzed at first. Luckily, the sling we created to help her was probably the best thing we could have done because it held her back stable too. She was in a LOT of pain. So, please say a few prayers for Keta. She is in a lot of danger still of the disc slipping further and paralyzing her, or of the cord swelling and doing the same. They don’t have the money to give her the surgery she’d need if that were to happen. It would cost $5k-7k. Best case scenario, the disc resolves itself with steroids and bedrest, and she is fine, though she’ll have to slow down a bit.

Hi Ashley, I’m a little late here, but can you get your RD to have a look at you next time you’re in so much pain? My RD has sometimes squeezed me in for a mini appointment the same day or the following day. S/he would then be able to see for her/himself how much pain you are in, and maybe give you a little emergency kit with stronger painkillers or an injection of something. Pred is nasty, but a short burst can really be effective when the pain is too bad. My sister’s gastro sounds like your RD. He didn’t give her other painkillers than Tylenol for acute Crohn’s pain, but she has gone to the ER a couple of times when the pain has been too severe (though mostly in order to exclude any dangerous injury to the bowels). They usually give her a shot of a very strong painkiller, which would remove all pain within 10 minutes and make her very sleepy. Last time she was there, another gastro doc thought it was crazy that she didn’t have anything stronger than Tylenol at home for her pain, so she got a pack of codeine-based pills. Nina – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I think that sleep was indeed the answer. I took an 8-hour nap, which means I slept all day!! However, I’m still very drowsy so sleep should be easy tonight. I am feeling loads better, which may be the conjuction of my dose of Humira, sleep, regular meds + vicodin. I’ve been sleep deprived for so long that I think my body was just giving out. I’m in a minor flare right now (at a 5), but that is a lot better than I was earlier!!!

Call your local Mariott and see if they have a program where you can pay to use their pool. Ours does and for one day use it is $10 but they also have memberships as well. Just thinking that it would be a $10 well spent. There is a sauna, whirlpool, gym with bicycles, and treadmills, and a gym with weights [never been in that] and this huge pool. The best part is the very clean bathroom with showers. Plenty of towels, shampoo and soup in push button things on the wall, hair dryers. Go treat yourself to time in the pool and then whirlpool.

Caroline: So good to hear from you. I am glad that Tom is doing better. I did not realize that Jen and Jeff did not know what happened. Are you relaxing now? At least until they get back from their honeymoon? Congraulations on your 29th wedding anniversary. May you have at least 29 more wonderful years together. My folks are celebrating their 60th in August. We are planning a small party. We had a big shabang for their 50th. It turned into a two day affair. We had a limo for them to take them to the dinner, complements of my uncle. It was all very special. This one will be a on a much smaller scale. We will have it at the Country Club where I had my reception and just family and a few close friends. Just an afternoon thing. I will do invitations and flowers etc. It seems like just yesterday we had their 50th party. I was just saying to Ed last week, lets get divorced so we can have another wedding. Now I can focus on my folks party. You know us Leos, we love that sort of thing. My husband will probably provide the entertainment. He usually does at family gatherings. He plays guitar, sings, plays fiddle and mandalin. He’s a one man band. He needs some new material though. His stuff is getting old. He really enjoys getting up there and performing though. Anyway, all is well on this planet Wisconsin except all the rain. It has finally stopped for a day. I told others I am building an ark, all are welcome pet and all. I do miss you. Soon you will be able to get back to posting again regularly. Take care. Love, Jeannette
Response:
He! Caroline! I am just reading the posts,about your husband who was a bone marrow donor. That is so commendable,and I applaud him trememdously. It is so needed in our Society! More compassion,for we never know when we or one of our loved ones may need that help so badly! I am sorry he had to have the Heartattack,but glad he is better.Hopefully he will regain his strength,with proper eating befavior and proper exercise. I have a friend who went through a bone marrow transplant 8 yrs.ago.The Drs. used her own bone marrow,so she didn’t need a donor. So far.she is the longest living Bonemarrow Transplant,survivor! My prayers go out to you and your families! Much success in your daughters’ marriage! I can relate somewhat,because I had a Triple Bypass Heart Surgery,in 1993. In 1986, my car was hit by a train,so I still have problems from that,not to mention little things like,arthritis,herniated disk in my back,degerative hip disease that are a daily reminder! Take care of that guy of yours and you stay well too! ((((HUGS)))) BJ
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Tom is resting well and actually looks good. Apparently through all of this he was worried about the tux of John’s that he was going to take back because my husband flew to CA this morning. Linda said it was the first thing out of his mouth when he was revived after flat lining. Silly boy. Anyway, I took the tux back and found out the hospital was just around the corner so I took him some flowers. The first thing he said to me as I rounded the corner of the room "Did you take the tux back". The whole room laughed at that one. Told him not to get up when we got to the room which made him laugh. We stayed only long enough to blow him kisses and leave the flowers. They are doing some sort of test tomorrow which Linda couldn’t seem to remember the name of and with a bit of probing I couldn’t figure out but we all hope to have more information then. She did say it was a wake up call to them both as they did not eat the right things or exercise. She drove him herself to the emergency room and they arrived just in time. He has been having chest pains which worsened and as they neared 495, she said she asked him about pain in his arm to which he had a positive response. To this she says to herself "Well this is not good" — what an understatement. I wish she had had one of her other boys stay. They had both come up for the wedding but she sent them home. Said she didn’t want to have to wait on anyone and would rather be alone. Is that a boy thing? I actually can’t imagine Jeff not helping out as he cheerfully does so here but she may have not allowed them to help her to the point that they don’t even try to do anything now. Jen would not have let Jeff leave his mother at a time like this — I can’t imagine what those other girlfriends were thinking. At any rate, tonight was the first formal night on board as they leave St. Thomas. Told Jen to wear her tightest dress today as she would not be able to climb into it at the end of the cruise. LOL We have not called them — there is absolutely nothing they could do and it would only worry them. I know Jen would try to get back. Linda has put her foot down about anyone telling them and I agree with her. We are taking things one day at a time. Please keep up your prayers. We all appreciate them. Thanks again for being there. Caroline ps Today was my 29th wedding anniversary and my life and love is in CA tonight. I wrote out a card to him last night and tucked it into his lap top as a surprise. Told me today that it made him cry right there on the airplane. I love my honey.

I am so sorry to hear that Shirley. I don’t know what is going on this year, but it seems like so many are going through a bad period. I sincerely hope that they are able to get all the cancer and the surgery will take care of the problem. Rose

Can you also send some prayers out for my husband Peter? we just learned that he has colon cancer. The tumor is at the end of the colon so he’ll have to wear a cloistral bag. we’re not sure when he’ll be going into the hospital, the dr’s have to decide how they are going to do it because he has C.O.P.D. they have to contact his Repertory Specialist, before they can do the surgery. they are also thinking of shrinking the tumor before they take it out so there is less chance of it spreading.

That is such a good idea Doe. You go look into that – I think that I would choose a health food store far far away. Shirley and Peter, my prayers go to you. Keep us in touch as to how he is doing Shirley. This is one cancer that can be beaten back. My family has a strong problem with colon cancer but in each case after surgery has done well and the cancer did not spread. My uncle actually has gone back to work as a logger in the woods with his bag. As he said it is his life and he is not ready to quit yet. My best wishes. Kelly

Tom, supplements can interact with prescribed medications. And you are giving medical advice all the time, telling people what causes diseases and what to do about them. Even innocent little vitamins can be toxic if taken in the wrong dose. Got it? Joan – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -http://jesuswasavegetarian.7h.com

LOL I think it was Reiter’s — I just looked it up. Guess what — that HLA-B27 gene is associated with it which is the only symptom he is having now at 52 is Iritis. Guess he is lucky. The knee swelled up hideously 2 days after he had the flu. It switch knees about a year later. He was on crutches for nearly two years. I remember reading at the time that Reiter’s had been considered a disease that only gays got but that idea was changing. I noticed that that is not even mentioned in the literature anymore. He has never mentioned having any trouble with his penis. But here is the hmmmm on my part. Back 25 years ago, I mention to the NP who was giving me my pelvic that I thought I was allergic to my husband. I told her I was always raw [for lack of a better word] afterward and it was not from overuse but felt like a rash albeit internal. During my examine, she confirmed that I was blood raw red everywhere internally. As 24 hours had not passed, it was very plain to see. She had no suggestions. It was always in the first ejaculation that caused this rash, so if I could get him to put it somewhere else, it never was a problem. Well, this is way too much information but I do think I will mention the whole thing to my RD when I see him. And I think I may print out the information on Reiter’s for my husband. Or maybe not — after all, he feels fine at the moment. Don’t want to rock the boat. Duckie
***mine used to ‘debate’ whether or not something was actually said by the doc, until we began taking a tape recorder. for years, i’ve been researching and printing up information for him on his many dx’s and treatments. i don’t think he’s ever read any of them. it’s like he really believes, what he doesn’t know can’t hurt him or, if he knows too much then he will be filled with regret or something. it is too much of a male mystery for me to comprehend. i’ve kind of given up trying to. doctor’s are so accustomed to hearing it all, duckie. so, if it will help your own cause/case, then you may as well let it all come out. kate – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Organization: AT&T Broadband Newsgroups: alt.support.arthritis ****you have one of those hubbys, too? they make you have to be there to know anything. then, they grumble when you listen too well and hear what they don’t want to hear. sigh . . . kate

Aim, I m a little late in finding this thread but want you to know Im sending you guys my best thoughts. Sounds like a very special dog. They are amazing and will really surprise you in cases like this. Hope she continues to surprise you everyday. I nearly lost my child hood dog when he was 3. Got run over by a truck pulling a horse trailer. Crushed all the bone in one leg and even though they had to metal rod that one and spend a month nursing him back from a collapsed lung, he lived to be 18 yrs. old and never did stop chasing cars. So, heres hoping Keta just keeps getting stronger every day. johnie
Response:
Anyway, thank you for any prayers and good vibes and whatnot. Please continue em. Keta needs them, and so does her family.
Yes, losing an animal you are that close to, is losing a member of your family. I wish the dog well, and your Aunt and her family as well. I just hope they keep her quality of life in their thoughts. It would hurt terribly to lose her, but it would be far worse to hang on to her if she becomes paralyzed or remains in extreme pain. Quality of life. Char "Remember, I’m pulling for ya’.

Sending prayers that she continue to do well. I’ve found that vets tend to over estimate how bad the outcome might be in most cases. They want to make really sure the family is prepared for the worst. One of my twin 5 lb poodles ruptured a disc in her back about six years ago. At the moment she is barking her fool head off over absolutely nothing. And her sister is doing the same. They’re almost 14, nearly deaf and nearly blind, but sense of taste and smell work just great and they still love to cuddle and keep me sane. Jo
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Thanks everyone who responded, as well as any who didn’t but have been praying. Keta came home today and is able to walk!! She is still very unsteady, and still nowhere near being "out of the woods" as it is still possible that the cord could swell or the disc shift position and further injure her. They have fashioned a brace from stiff foam exercise mats, and are ordering a doggie life jacket that extends from neck to tail in oder to keep her spine from bending. She will be penned for at least a month. She’s on the oxyc*ntin patch as well as massive doses of steroids and other pain meds. So she’s pretty looped, poor baby. But she is home. What I didn’t explain about Keta before is she isn’t "just a dog." This dog helped her mom (my aunt) survive major depression, and she rescued a neighbor from a burglar last year — the burglars were caught, too, because of her. She is like a 100-lb cat, as she was raised by two cats. She and the cats groom each other, and she pounces and chases wasps right alongside the cats. Hysterical to watch. She is also the dog they got after their previous dog was hit and killed by a car right in front of their then 6 and 8 year old sons when they were in the woods playing in snow. So the boys, now 14 and 16, have been that much more upset, because they have already had such a tragic loss. Anyway, thank you for any prayers and good vibes and whatnot. Please continue em. Keta needs them, and so does her family. Aim Yikes, just caught the message about Keta and hope she
will soon be running – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – around with a big doggy smile soon. Kelly C.;o) While I was in Canada for the week, My aunt’s dog Keta (key’-tuh) fell down the cliffs at the back of their house Thursday and injured her back quite badly. She is coming home from the hospital today. She’s got at least one slipped disc that is pressing on the spinal cord enough that while she has feeling in her back legs she’s lost the propioception (doesn’t know where they are in space). This is the impulse that runs down the furthest outside layer of the cord. So, poor baby, she is heavily
sedated and will have – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – to be in a pen and carried even outside to pee for at least a month. This is a HUGE dog (lab/bouvier mix) so carrying her outside isn’t easy. Rescuing her from her fall was an adventure in engineering. And of course it was dark out so it was that much harder. When it first happened we thought she had dislocated her hip and broken her leg, because it was hanging at a funny angle, but it’s because it was completely paralyzed at first. Luckily, the sling we created to help her was probably the best thing we could have done because it held her back stable too. She was in a LOT of pain. So, please say a few prayers for Keta. She is in a lot of danger still of the disc slipping further and paralyzing her, or of the cord swelling and doing the same. They don’t have the money to give her the surgery she’d need if that were to happen. It would cost $5k-7k. Best case scenario, the disc resolves itself with steroids and bedrest, and she is fine, though she’ll have to slow down a bit. No more imitating a mountaingoat on the cliffs, as she has done since she was a baby. Thanks, Aim make sure to remove the spam protection from my address!

Thanks Jo, Yeah vets do sometimes seem to do that. What was worrisome is that she was partially paralyzed, and we didn’t know how permanent that might be. The vets she saw were pretty good about giving us "best case, worst case, most likely" scenarios so that the family could start making decisions about what to do in each case. Thanks for the info on your dog. Jan will be happy to hear that she recovered well — I know she is super worried about how Keta’s quality of life will be. And what they might have to do as far as pain control, and how much pain is the cutoff of what is fair to her to have to handle, etc. Hopefully that will all be a moot point. I just talked to Jan while I was writing this, and she said to tell everyone thank you again. She feels like the prayers and stuff must be helping, cuz Keta is quite bright-eyed today, and is holding her own for now. She’s penned, and they have to carry her out to pee and such, but she is hanging in there, and only cries a little sometimes. Aim make sure to remove the spam protection from my address!

Thanks, though it was a good thing we were there. The family was so upset they couldnt digest the things the vet said, plus my mom has so much knowledge of medicine and injury mechanics, especially spinal ones (her specialty) that she was super super helpful with getting Keta immobilized and into the vet, as well as "translating" for Jan (my aunt). Hopefully Keta will do better and better. Aim make sure to remove the spam protection from my address! It should read: aim (at) arthritisinsight (dot com)

From Aim: – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – While I was in Canada for the week, My aunt’s dog Keta (key’-tuh) fell down the cliffs at the back of their house Thursday and injured her back quite badly. She is coming home from the hospital today. She’s got at least one slipped disc that is pressing on the spinal cord enough that while she has feeling in her back legs she’s lost the propioception (doesn’t know where they are in space). This is the impulse that runs down the furthest outside layer of the cord. So, poor baby, she is heavily sedated and will have to be in a pen and carried even outside to pee for at least a month. This is a HUGE dog (lab/bouvier mix) so carrying her outside isn’t easy. Rescuing her from her fall was an adventure in engineering. And of course it was dark out so it was that much harder. When it first happened we thought she had dislocated her hip and broken her leg, because it was hanging at a funny angle, but it’s because it was completely paralyzed at first. Luckily, the sling we created to help her was probably the best thing we could have done because it held her back stable too. She was in a LOT of pain. So, please say a few prayers for Keta. She is in a lot of danger still of the disc slipping further and paralyzing her, or of the cord swelling and doing the same. They don’t have the money to give her the surgery she’d need if that were to happen. It would cost $5k-7k. Best case scenario, the disc resolves itself with steroids and bedrest, and she is fine, though she’ll have to slow down a bit. No more imitating a mountaingoat on the cliffs, as she has done since she was a baby. Thanks, Aim

Thanks everyone who responded, as well as any who didn’t but have been praying. Keta came home today and is able to walk!! She is still very unsteady, and still nowhere near being "out of the woods" as it is still possible that the cord could swell or the disc shift position and further injure her. They have fashioned a brace from stiff foam exercise mats, and are ordering a doggie life jacket that extends from neck to tail in oder to keep her spine from bending. She will be penned for at least a month. She’s on the oxyc*ntin patch as well as massive doses of steroids and other pain meds. So she’s pretty looped, poor baby. But she is home. What I didn’t explain about Keta before is she isn’t "just a dog." This dog helped her mom (my aunt) survive major depression, and she rescued a neighbor from a burglar last year — the burglars were caught, too, because of her. She is like a 100-lb cat, as she was raised by two cats. She and the cats groom each other, and she pounces and chases wasps right alongside the cats. Hysterical to watch. She is also the dog they got after their previous dog was hit and killed by a car right in front of their then 6 and 8 year old sons when they were in the woods playing in snow. So the boys, now 14 and 16, have been that much more upset, because they have already had such a tragic loss. Anyway, thank you for any prayers and good vibes and whatnot. Please continue em. Keta needs them, and so does her family. Aim – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Yikes, just caught the message about Keta and hope she will soon be running around with a big doggy smile soon.

Hi Ashley, I’m a little late here, but can you get your RD to have a look at you next time you’re in so much pain? My RD has sometimes squeezed me in for a mini appointment the same day or the following day. S/he would then be able to see for her/himself how much pain you are in, and maybe give you a little emergency kit with stronger painkillers or an injection of something. Pred is nasty, but a short burst can really be effective when the pain is too bad. My sister’s gastro sounds like your RD. He didn’t give her other painkillers than Tylenol for acute Crohn’s pain, but she has gone to the ER a couple of times when the pain has been too severe (though mostly in order to exclude any dangerous injury to the bowels). They usually give her a shot of a very strong painkiller, which would remove all pain within 10 minutes and make her very sleepy. Last time she was there, another gastro doc thought it was crazy that she didn’t have anything stronger than Tylenol at home for her pain, so she got a pack of codeine-based pills.

Prayers are coming. Also, how are you sleeping? I’m just asking because every time my sleep starts getting messed up, I feel the pain a whole lot more.

Call your local Mariott and see if they have a program where you can pay to use their pool. Ours does and for one day use it is $10 but they also have memberships as well. Just thinking that it would be a $10 well spent. There is a sauna, whirlpool, gym with bicycles, and treadmills, and a gym with weights [never been in that] and this huge pool. The best part is the very clean bathroom with showers. Plenty of towels, shampoo and soup in push button things on the wall, hair dryers. Go treat yourself to time in the pool and then whirlpool. A lovely warm shower and then home for a nap. Duckie – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – If you could say a prayer for me I’d appreciate it.

Caroline: So good to hear from you. I am glad that Tom is doing better. I did not realize that Jen and Jeff did not know what happened. Are you relaxing now? At least until they get back from their honeymoon? Congraulations on your 29th wedding anniversary. May you have at least 29 more wonderful years together. My folks are celebrating their 60th in August. We are planning a small party. We had a big shabang for their 50th. It turned into a two day affair. We had a limo for them to take them to the dinner, complements of my uncle. It was all very special. This one will be a on a much smaller scale. We will have it at the Country Club where I had my reception and just family and a few close friends. Just an afternoon thing. I will do invitations and flowers etc. It seems like just yesterday we had their 50th party. I was just saying to Ed last week, lets get divorced so we can have another wedding. Now I can focus on my folks party. You know us Leos, we love that sort of thing. My husband will probably provide the entertainment. He usually does at family gatherings. He plays guitar, sings, plays fiddle and mandalin. He’s a one man band. He needs some new material though. His stuff is getting old. He really enjoys getting up there and performing though. Anyway, all is well on this planet Wisconsin except all the rain. It has finally stopped for a day. I told others I am building an ark, all are welcome pet and all. I do miss you.

He! Caroline! I am just reading the posts,about your husband who was a bone marrow donor. That is so commendable,and I applaud him trememdously. It is so needed in our Society! More compassion,for we never know when we or one of our loved ones may need that help so badly! I am sorry he had to have the Heartattack,but glad he is better.Hopefully he will regain his strength,with proper eating befavior and proper exercise. I have a friend who went through a bone marrow transplant 8 yrs.ago.The Drs. used her own bone marrow,so she didn’t need a donor. So far.she is the longest living Bonemarrow Transplant,survivor! My prayers go out to you and your families! Much success in your daughters’ marriage! I can relate somewhat,because I had a Triple Bypass Heart Surgery,in 1993. In 1986, my car was hit by a train,so I still have problems from that,not to mention little things like,arthritis,herniated disk in my back,degerative hip disease that are a daily reminder! Take care of that guy of yours and you stay well too! ((((HUGS)))) BJ
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Tom is resting well and actually looks good. Apparently through all of this he was worried about the tux of John’s that he was going to take back because my husband flew to CA this morning. Linda said it was the first thing out of his mouth when he was revived after flat lining. Silly boy. Anyway, I took the tux back and found out the hospital was just around the corner so I took him some flowers. The first thing he said to me as I rounded the corner of the room "Did you take the tux back". The whole room laughed at that one. Told him not to get up when we got to the room which made him laugh. We stayed only long enough to blow him kisses and leave the flowers. They are doing some sort of test tomorrow which Linda couldn’t seem to remember the name of and with a bit of probing I couldn’t figure out but we all hope to have more information then. She did say it was a wake up call to them both as they did not eat the right things or exercise. She drove him herself to the emergency room and they arrived just in time. He has been having chest pains which worsened and as they neared 495, she said she asked him about pain in his arm to which he had a positive response. To this she says to herself "Well this is not good" — what an understatement. I wish she had had one of her other boys stay. They had both come up for the wedding but she sent them home. Said she didn’t want to have to wait on anyone and would rather be alone. Is that a boy thing? I actually can’t imagine Jeff not helping out as he cheerfully does so here but she may have not allowed them to help her to the point that they don’t even try to do anything now. Jen would not have let Jeff leave his mother at a time like this — I can’t imagine what those other girlfriends were thinking. At any rate, tonight was the first formal night on board as they leave St. Thomas. Told Jen to wear her tightest dress today as she would not be able to climb into it at the end of the cruise. LOL We have not called them — there is absolutely nothing they could do and it would only worry them. I know Jen would try to get back. Linda has put her foot down about anyone telling them and I agree with her. We are taking things one day at a time. Please keep up your prayers. We all appreciate them. Thanks again for being there. Caroline ps Today was my 29th wedding anniversary and my life and love is in CA tonight. I wrote out a card to him last night and tucked it into his lap top as a surprise.

Saturday he married his middle son to my sweet Jennifer. This morning he had a heart attack which the cardiologist is attributing to internal bleeding from the bone marrow transplant. He had his heart attack at the hospital and they were able to save him but did tell Linda, that had he not been there when it happened that in all likelihood he would not have made it. They are running tests now to find the site of the bleeding and will know more this afternoon. Right now I do know that this great ASA group has a wonderful power when it comes to prayers and I ask you now to include Tom Sarre [pronounced like Car]. I will pop in later when I find out more for an update. Thank you for being there when I need you. Caroline

My family has a strong problem with colon cancer but in each case after surgery has done well and the cancer did not spread. My uncle actually has gone back to work as a logger in the woods with his bag. As he said it is his life and he is not ready to quit yet. My best wishes. Kelly

Tom, supplements can interact with prescribed medications. And you are giving medical advice all the time, telling people what causes diseases and what to do about them.

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – OMG — yes exactly!!! He stills claims I made up the diagnosis he had 20+ years ago on his knee. He doesn’t remember there actually was a diagnosis. LOL I think it was Reiter’s — I just looked it up. Guess what — that HLA-B27 gene is associated with it which is the only symptom he is having now at 52 is Iritis. Guess he is lucky. The knee swelled up hideously 2 days after he had the flu. It switch knees about a year later. He was on crutches for nearly two years. I remember reading at the time that Reiter’s had been considered a disease that only gays got but that idea was changing. I noticed that that is not even mentioned in the literature anymore. He has never mentioned having any trouble with his penis. But here is the hmmmm on my part. Back 25 years ago, I mention to the NP who was giving me my pelvic that I thought I was allergic to my husband. I told her I was always raw [for lack of a better word] afterward and it was not from overuse but felt like a rash albeit internal. During my examine, she confirmed that I was blood raw red everywhere internally. As 24 hours had not passed, it was very plain to see. She had no suggestions. It was always in the first ejaculation that caused this rash, so if I could get him to put it somewhere else, it never was a problem. Well, this is way too much information but I do think I will mention the whole thing to my RD when I see him. And I think I may print out the information on Reiter’s for my husband. Or maybe not — after all, he feels fine at the moment. Don’t want to rock the boat. Duckie
***mine used to ‘debate’ whether or not something was actually said by the doc, until we began taking a tape recorder. for years, i’ve been researching and printing up information for him on his many dx’s and treatments. i don’t think he’s ever read any of them. it’s like he really believes, what he doesn’t know can’t hurt him or, if he knows too much then he will be filled with regret or something. it is too much of a male mystery for me to comprehend. i’ve kind of given up trying to. doctor’s are so accustomed to hearing it all, duckie. so, if it will help your own cause/case, then you may as well let it all come out. kate – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Organization: AT&T Broadband Newsgroups: alt.support.arthritis ****you have one of those hubbys, too? they make you have to be there to know anything. then, they grumble when you listen too well and hear what they don’t want to hear. sigh . . . kate

Guess what — that HLA-B27 gene is associated with it which is the only symptom he is having now at 52 is Iritis. Guess he is lucky. The knee swelled up hideously 2 days after he had the flu. It switch knees about a year later. He was on crutches for nearly two years. I remember reading at the time that Reiter’s had been considered a disease that only gays got but that idea was changing. I noticed that that is not even mentioned in the literature anymore. He has never mentioned having any trouble with his penis. But here is the hmmmm on my part. Back 25 years ago, I mention to the NP who was giving me my pelvic that I thought I was allergic to my husband. I told her I was always raw [for lack of a better word] afterward and it was not from overuse but felt like a rash albeit internal. During my examine, she confirmed that I was blood raw red everywhere internally. As 24 hours had not passed, it was very plain to see. She had no suggestions. It was always in the first ejaculation that caused this rash, so if I could get him to put it somewhere else, it never was a problem. Well, this is way too much information but I do think I will mention the whole thing to my RD when I see him. And I think I may print out the information on Reiter’s for my husband. Or maybe not — after all, he feels fine at the moment. Don’t want to rock the boat.

Just got back from my dance studio. The owner’s little girl is in the hospital because her blood glucose is way too high. She is diabetic and it had been under control. Today was the first day of school here and she is in first grade. Having a chronic disease is crappy but a child having it, is just down right cruel. I am sure Children’s Hospital will straightened it all out but if you can say a quick prayer for Kassie and her mother, Linda and father, Bill I would appreciate it. Thanks Duckie

Aw, Blue Eyes, I’m so sorry. I’ll keep you in my prayers too. I’m so glad the pump is working for you. Don’t think they’ll be able to use it on Nicky just yet. There’s new thinking (*that* scares the hell outta me!) now on treatment. Instead of changing diet, they regulate insulin dosage. It scares me cuz they really don’t know what the long term effects will be. I’m terrified that 10-20 years down the road they’ll discover "Oh heck! That didn’t work." Oh there I go babbling again.

Prayers for Nicky!! He is okay now (right?) and they figured out what the problem is. So that is the bright side. And kids are SO resilient. Far more than we adults. He will be fine, he’ll adjust to what needs to be done.
Not quite, hon. They’re still having trouble regulating his blood sugar, but it’s looking better tonight than it has before. And yes, he’ll adjust just fine … God bless the little ones. A nurse came in to test his blood sugar this afternoon. I would have expected him to hide. Instead he beamed, stuck out his finger and said "This is very good!" Don’t YOU carry it, though, huh? We don’t want him thinking more about his granny smoking than he does about the diabetes, one day.
Can’t help but carry it. I love him dearly. But I’m also a mother. If anything happens to that little guy, it *will* destroy my son. Nicky is his only child. And since my son (at his wife’s behest – oh screw that – demand) had a vasectomy 2 months ago, Nicky is most likely to remain his only child. There’s a lot of information about diabetes treatment online.
Thanks, luv. As soon as I get my shit together, I’ll be out there lookin’. RE: your bad quit luck.. YIKES. You need to see someone for a clearing or something, you have some bad luck going on when you quit! Then again, the bad luck might be a test, you have to keep your quit to stop it from re-occurring…
Yeah … right? I keep thinking God is saying "So. You *really* wanna quit?" Yeah … I do! And I will!

After all that, I really thought I had it worked out cognitively. Bad shit’s gonna happen whether I smoke or not. I thought I was prepared. But I wasn’t prepared for this. My God!

Aw, Blue Eyes, I’m so sorry. I’ll keep you in my prayers too. I’m so glad the pump is working for you. Don’t think they’ll be able to use it on Nicky just yet. There’s new thinking (*that* scares the hell outta me!) now on treatment. Instead of changing diet, they regulate insulin dosage. It scares me cuz they really don’t know what the long term effects will be. I’m terrified that 10-20 years down the road they’ll discover "Oh heck! That didn’t work." Oh there I go babbling again. Hugs n prayers on ya, P. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Pam, Nicky will be in my thoughts and prayers. Being a type 1 diabetic myself (diagnosed at the age of 11), it’s not the end of the world. With all the new advancements in the treatment and care of diabetes, your grandson will have a lot better life with diabetes than I did back in 1969. If at all possible, see if he can be put on the insulin pump. I just got mine last October and it is a life saver! I know children can use it, but not sure about the age thing. Control is the main agenda. Mine wasn’t controlled well and I have most of the complications to prove it. So Nicky will have my special prayers.

Prayers for Nicky!! He is okay now (right?) and they figured out what the problem is. So that is the bright side. And kids are SO resilient. Far more than we adults. He will be fine, he’ll adjust to what needs to be done.
Not quite, hon. They’re still having trouble regulating his blood sugar, but it’s looking better tonight than it has before. And yes, he’ll adjust just fine … God bless the little ones. A nurse came in to test his blood sugar this afternoon. I would have expected him to hide. Instead he beamed, stuck out his finger and said "This is very good!" Don’t YOU carry it, though, huh? We don’t want him thinking more about his granny smoking than he does about the diabetes, one day.
Can’t help but carry it. I love him dearly. But I’m also a mother. If anything happens to that little guy, it *will* destroy my son. Nicky is his only child. And since my son (at his wife’s behest – oh screw that – demand) had a vasectomy 2 months ago, Nicky is most likely to remain his only child. There’s a lot of information about diabetes treatment online.
Thanks, luv. As soon as I get my shit together, I’ll be out there lookin’. RE: your bad quit luck.. YIKES. You need to see someone for a clearing or something, you have some bad luck going on when you quit! Then again, the bad luck might be a test, you have to keep your quit to stop it from re-occurring…
Yeah … right? I keep thinking God is saying "So. You *really* wanna quit?" Yeah … I do! And I will! (Sorry Lord!) Prayers of healing for your grandson. He’ll heal before everyone else does. Kids have special angels. He’ll be okay. YOU Be Okay, too.. okay??
