Today, my neurologist said he was not too worried about me taking a statin as long as my primary doc did a baseline CPK and then kept close track of it going...
Chris, my eyes are going dim, too, due to cataracts. 42 would be young for cataracts, but not unheard of. I would suggest seeing an opthomologist, usually an...
Welcome, Susan. Glad you are here. Please come back often. I am sorry for the most unusual rapid muscle loss in your leg. This has to be very scary and...
hmmmm Interesting thought. However, the room was so crowded I would have had difficulty swinging a cat, let alone a 5 1/2 foot stick. And it is aluminum so I...
Thanks Phil, and thank you Dan for the great info in your email. These websites are full of great stuff. It is looking to me like it might actually cost less...
Hi Chris, I would advise going to a retina specialist. I have already put a call into my daughters doctor to see if he knows anyone in Indiana that he trusts,...
What I find most helpful to others (and for my own peace of mind) is letting them know in a general way that I need to choose my activities very wisely, even...
I agree that Losartan has more potential than diltiazem. I tried the Lefkowitz protocol (glycoscience.com) in 2002 with no benefit -- 3 months of ambrotose,...
We both would if I could sit on the handle bars without falling off. At the age of 70 he looks so cute in his crash helmet. You should have seen us both on the...
My target is 50mg/day but I'll have to work up to it slowly. When I was taking diltiazem I started low and raised it weekly. I'm sure my cardiologist will have...
I am currently "experimenting" on myself, trying the apple cider vinegar "cure" for high cholesterol, and it is purported to have other beneficial effects,...
Rosemary, I guess I am pretty much committed to the statin therapy for now, but keep me poated, please. I remember reading someplace that the apple cider...
Ray, go the Used Wheelchairs-USA website, to http://www.used- wheelchairs-usa.com/index.cfm and send the company president (Lisa R.) an email. She has been...
Why do you think that Losartan has more potential? I have been taking Diovan for years and it has done nothing for FSH. As I understand it Diovan and Losartan...
Does anyone care? Please someone out their reply to my electrical sapping and my pelvic bone hurts so bad, now even setting, laying down, or walking with my...
I suppose because unlike diltiazem, there is some empirical lab based research ( albeit in its infancy ) directly connected to MD that indicates it might have...
BEV., I am really sorry about this intense pain you are experiencing. When I am in significant pain and there doesn't seem to be ant other way to stop it,...
Ps, further to similarities between Diovan and Losartan. Well, considering Mylan diltiazem and diltiazem ( generic ) are the *same* compound ( diltiazem ) but...
We are fine. Last night's tornado went across Florida about 20 miles north of us. Too close for comfort. So far the TV news has said that it hit two mobile...
Steve, what does "ARB" mean? Paul ... *same* compound ( diltiazem ) but merely "packaged" differently ( thus giving rise to the anecdotal claims why the same...
Bev, We all care. If no one replied my guess is it is because no one has any experience with this, and cannot help you. My suggestion is to get yourself to...
OMG, Bev. I am so sorry that this is happening to you. The pain sounds serious enough to warrant medical intervention. I hate to have you go to an emergency...
This will be interesting to watch. Who is doing the research? If it is individuals I have no problem with that but how is the progress, if any being measured? ...
anyone looking for a used power or regular wheelchair should watch ebay. I just found a ramp there for much less than anyone charges. Also use craig's list. ...
BEV HERE: Thank you for your reply, I am in constant prayer about this so that is a good idea. What I was interrested in is. is this part of FSHD? ... From:...
Ugh. Sorry to hear you are in such pain, Bev. I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this already, but there are seat cushions (slang: "doughnuts" - various shapes)...
Hi Bryan: Thank you for your suggestions, anything I can do to help myself is always wonderful. I do have a round cushion I set on when I am in the car. and...
