Hi Denia (and everyone else). Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers. Sadies doing OK all things considered. I'm irritated with her vets. I...
Hello Everyone. I am having some problems again. I have been having really bad headaches and nothing is helping them. I do have a VP shunt that has messed up 4...
I wish I knew what to tell you. The only thing I can think of is either having your other docs all gang up on him (maybe he'll listen to THEM) or sue him for...
Beth: This should not be happening. Your best bet would be to call the Hospital Medical Affairs Office and/or talk to the Neurosurgery Dept Chair. If they...
I wanted to let you all know that Sadie is doing better. I don't want to say too much for fear of jinxing it, but, I think she can see a little bit. I'm...
First off, You need to get your docs to help. Explain the situation and get them to call the office. If that doesn't work, use the chain of command. Everyone...
Alicia- Thanks for all this info. I will be sure to try some different things. I did speak with his nurse today and she said that he wants me to have my eyes...
Hi Alicia, I'm so glad to hear Sadie might be on the mend! I know that is a weight lifted from your shoulders and your heart! that is too bad about the pet...
Wow. Beth, Alicia - great ideas! Hospital Administration? What a great idea. Supervisors, chain of command? Wonder why I didn't think of that! This PTC...
Hi Tracey, I get the idea that you feel you have been slighted... of course if I'm wrong please forgive my naivety - Did I miss a post from you that you feel...
Denia I have been posting for nearly two years and have had reponses directed towards me MAYBE a half dozen times. Most often my posts go completely...
Tracey- I am very sorry for not responding to your post yesterday. It was not done on purpose or to upset you. I haven't been doing to well lately as you know...
Beth Not to worry. I hope things get better for you and your family. Tracey Beth <bbailey1804924@...> wrote: Tracey- I am very sorry for not responding...
Hi All, Quick update. We have been referred to a Neurologist, although apparently there is a
waiting list (no surprise there!) The Neurosurgeon's report came...
Hello Tracey, I am very sorry that you have not found the solice in this group that so many of us need and have been fortunate enough to find here. You are...
Hi Tracy, Glad to hear you are possibly getting somewhere! It is very unfortunate that it has taken this long! I don't know how Dave has put up with it this...
Don't get frustated yet. One thing at a time. Before he would remove the shunt, he would have a consult withyou. That's when you bring up every question you...
Not all pet insurance is bad, in fact from the research I've done-I just got in with the wrong group. I know VPI has been in buisness for over 20 years and is...
You have to play the game if you want to be acknowledged . And some people don't know there"s anyone besides the doctor to go through. If you have ideas give...
Tracey, I'm sorry that this board has not been more for you. Unfortunately, it has probably happened to us all at one point or another. I've been a member...
The double vision and blurry vision could be as simple as pressure on the 6th cranial nerve. Unfortunately, there's no way to test for that. If this is long...
Thanks! You don't sound like a commercial - just someone wanting others to benefit from your experiences! Denia Alicia <aliciams@...> wrote: Not all pet...
Hello, I don't know if you all remember a ptc group member by the name of "sweetannie" - she hasn't posted in a long time but was a member when I first joined....
I was diagnosed with PTC almost four years ago. I have a VP Shunt and an LP Shunt. About a month and a half ago, I started to experience vision problems...
definately in my prayers. Is she a canidate for transplant? ... From: Daniel Mcneill To: ptc@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, June 11, 2005 12:22 PM Subject:...
I'm afraid thats a question for your docs. It could be that your body is reacting to low pressures. ie. Mine is too much at 16. Or it could be something...
I am not sure - she has a clotting disorder - along with the ptc - she is or has been on and I am assuming still is on cumadin for the clotting - she can't get...
Hi Deb, I am afraid I am probably not much help but wanted to address what Alicia suggested about the false low reading - if you were on your stomach when they...
