10,000 IU daily of vit D3 is a toxic level, from a study I read. I use 2000 IU in the summer, here in PA, when I am outside in the garden. I double that, or even use 5000 IU daily in the winter, when...
I had a bad reaction to an ice cream bar, a candy bar flavor variety. I get tachycardia, upset stomach when I get over my daily limit of 2000 micrograms. I have eaten the candy bar without such a bad...
I use a week pill holder box/organizer with 4 section containers for each day. The daily containers with the 4 sections are removable from the whole week box. I have 2 boxes, so I can fill 2 weeks at...
On further researching pyelonephritis (really bad UTI) I found that sometimes the only symptoms seems to be exhaustion, especially in older people like me. So now I believe that my diagnosis may be...
I've been on a similar drug, Ceftin, for a UTI for almost 10 days, and I'm exhausted too. I had symptoms of sinus infection in addition (pain in face) and horrible headaches every morning, sometimes...
I took it years ago when I was having trouble with diarrhea. It worked well, no problems. There are a number of posts on this in the archives. Just put a keyword in the search box at the top of the...
I got the radiologist's myelogram report. It does confirm some cervical and lumbar foraminal stenosis. I guess my neurosurgeon just doesn't think it's bad enough for surgery. I'm looking for another...
And the answer is NONE. My orthopod says it doesn't seem bad enough for surgery. He wiggled the leg around and said it's not even bad enough for an MRI. I get to wear a brace for a few weeks. It...
Yesterday I fell while teaching grandson to drive the tractor, tore my right mcl, I think. Twisting fall. I had a lot of bruises, took 5 min to get up. Too darn old for this! Went to ER. Of course...
No mental illness. I agree the neurosurgeon is trying to get rid of me. I didn't have any chance at all to ask about the radiculopathy pain from my neck to my shoulder, arm and hand, or any other...
Following up on my previous post but a different topic: I saw the neurosurgeon for results of CT myelogram for all of 5 minutes. As I expected, he said there was no problem with my spinal cord, same...
Thanks for the information! When I looked up myelograms, none of this stuff is mentioned in the posts from doctors and hospitals. My symptoms are still continuing, worse in the morning, able to...
Interesting response! My myelogram doc said NOT to lie flat, but recline or prop on pillows. I'm past that stage, I think. I don't know how to tell if there is a leak, but I don't have any more...
I had a whole spine myelogram, with CT a week ago Monday. I got the awful hip, leg pain and numbness, that are not all that uncommon, instantly with the dye injection. (see myelogram comments...
As a 60-something I tried the three aromatase inhibitors that were available at the time for a year and didn't tolerate any of them - felt like I was 150 years old with horrible arthritis. One hurt...
