Thank you Nanners. I am holding my breath at this point hoping for a miracle. I try to imagine myself living without insurance, and it is scary as H#*@. My poor husband wants to get this divorce done...
I have been trying, but gave up for a while, but now it is imperative that I get insurance immediately due to impending divorce. Have there been any new developments in the insurance industry over...
Thank you everyone! I am looking into all the ideas you have posted so far, and I will let you know what I find out. The HIPAA info. has been helpful, too. I have been too depressed to look for work...
My prayers are going up and out to your sister, too....
Hi everyone. I've read here before that you can get coverage as long as there is no gap between coverages. My insurance from my husband's (soon to be ex) job runs out at the end of March. I cannot...
Hi Fitzy, While reading your descript ion of your bad habit, I was trying to relate to you by thinking of something I do, which is picking my fingernails. Most people bite their nails, but I pick...
Six days is not that unusual for me. Patience, eating less, and drinking more water is my usual method. I don't like taking laxatives either. Then about once every few weeks my system will decide to...
My dentist is named Dr. Whitener. I love him, too. He is wonderful. My husband had a GP named Harry Hyman. And last but not least my friend takes her mother to a GI named Grablow....
I found that lying on my back with two or three pillows under my head and shoulders, and one under my knees (or just pulling my knees up) and lying really still got me through some painful times....
Can a GI do an in office exam to look for fistulas? My GYN may not know what one is. I also did start taking my probiotics again. Also, how to they treat men for this, (in case it's being passed back...
I have had no luck with this search engine either. Is there a way to organize the topics so that we could do a one word search, and see a list of threads containing that one word, then pick the...
Judy, Could your GYN not see the fistula during the exam? How do they diagnose that? Does the GI give some sort of rectal exam in the office?...
The main symptom is just a greenish colored discharge. It doesn't itch like a yeast infection. However, if the infection is bad enough your vagina can get pretty irritated and bleed during sex. It is...
In my last post about a bacterial vaginal infection that won't clear up, O'leary mentioned that she couldn't remember a time since starting Crohn's medications that she didn't have BV. I want to know...
I don't know either. I want to know the same thing you do. Does remission possibly mean you can taper off the drugs? Does it mean being able to eat high fiber foods, nuts and popcorn without incident?...
O'leary, do you eat yogurt or take probiotics? I did when I was first diagnosed, but have since stopped them because I was doing fine. But if I'm going to have BV for the rest of my life, I'll try...
bump...
I had it this June. But it was very painful. I couldn't walk without pain meds. My feet, ankles and knees were very swollen with fluid. I went to the Rheumatologist and he put me on prednisone for 6...
Hi everyone. I have been battling a bacterial infection in my "female region" for over three months now. My gyn has given me about 4 rounds of antibiotics and the darn thing just keeps coming back. I...
Yea, they did do a culture twice actually. I guess I'll be taking flagyl for another week to try again. I hate the stuff. It makes me so thirsty and dehydrated, no matter how much water I drink. It...
Do any of you stop taking your immunosuppressant when you are trying to cure an infection? I have been on a couple of types of antibiotics trying to cure a simple female bacterial infection and it...
Poopington McToot's euphamism on the TP usage thread cracked me up.("Stocking the porcelain pond with brown trout") This has probably been done already on this forum, but I missed it, so I thought...
Hello Nergal, I take Primal Defense probiotic. I started it after glancing at ****** *****'s book,(haven't read the whole thing yet) and decided it had to be the best one on the market. My doctor...
