I'm new too. It's a major life change, and I wish I had been told how it would affect my entire life. I coded three times during the surgery. I hope that someone will start a dating site for lvad recipients, as I am not sure that anyone else can understand this lifestyle ☺No heart transplant for me. Not doing it!
acromegaly causes hyperglycemia (diabetes) and boosts cortisol (anxiety and stress hormone) to reduce this as much as possible, drink every morning on an empty stomach, a cup of green tea which will have spent the night to infuse, you will lower your blood sugar and stress by at least 50% and you will feel much less tired
I was diagnosed in 2005 when I was pregnate. 2006 surgery, 2012 cyberknife. I get sandostatin every 3 wks. In 2017 I started having tics. It started out with just a sudden intake of breath. Now it has turned into a sudden intake of breath and a head jerk. I don't know if this is apart of acromegali or something else. Has anyone else have these types of neorogogical symptoms?
I am happy to hear that you were properly diagnosed. Not all of us have been so lucky while being mistreated and misdiagnosed too while we were constant being gossiped about during, "The Troubles." Now every time we go to walk in clinic only to get a note from a doctor as proof that we are too sick for going to work or for taking a test at school it is for us feeling like a scary ordeal long after that period in history was over. For example having old jaw injuries to cope when experiencing TMJ is not the same thing as having Acromegaly or worse. After going through hell for over a decade and a half NOT all only temporary benign pituitary tumors which affected some blood tests as result [when that sort of thing got added to our medical history files] excreted human growth hormone. Not all changes in our shoe size length is due to the bones in our feet growing thicker. Our sons concieved during more than one marriage after for one or more their unborn world was called a 'geriatric' one(s) are not all going to be reaching the same height and not all sons of men turn out to be the same height as their father who is shorter than his wife. Try and tell all of those facts of life to the odd family doctor around who is working in a college walk in clinic during only short visit to them while feeling sick while people from more than one generation in your family have already attended school there and well then good luck with that.
I hate it when people say “You’re not alone.” Because I really am! My life is falling apart around me and I can’t do anything but pray. Which I have been for 2 years. My prayers are unanswered and I am unwanted. I can’t find a video that even helps.
This felt like a real waste of time. Any parent who is paying attention knows that it’s not a good idea for teens to be using electronics right up until bedtime. The ultimate solution offered is that since it’s hard for parents to do set limits with their teens, they should hire the speaker. Felt like more of a sales pitch than an effort at education.
I have been seeing doctors for years trying to find what’s wrong. I was dx a few weeks ago. I’m having surgery in a couple of weeks. They are talking about doing upper jaw surgery at the same time. I’m in Shreveport.
I want to be an oncologist and that's why I'm here😍 wohooo! I love her healing voice and I can feel how patients feel comfortable near her. Thanks for sharing ur day with me. I love u🦋 god bless u all
Tysm for this - I’m just sorry I didn’t watch this sooner. My friend made two attempts last year. She reached out to me but I didn’t know the warning signs or risk factors or what to say or do- and I wasn’t there for her. She moved out of state and we no longer communicate- but this information is still very much appreciated
Pain in the right shoulder joint when I swim . When I twist or do rotational movements, the shoulder crunches.( there is scoliosis of the 1st degree, the left shoulder is higher than the right )
I also experienced *sleep paralysis* 2 times in my life. Basically when you're dreaming you think that the dream is reality but in *sleep paralysis* you become conscious that you're in a dream but you can't escape it & get trapped for *hours* even if you jerk off your whole body really hard. So I never felt any creepy *GHOST* / *DEMONIC* presence. I was even trapped in good n bad dreams both were laws of physics don't make sense you fly around like a super human.
Bravo! Excellently presented and we certainly hope she is a professor somewhere as well! Thanks for the information as am scheduled to start the external treatment soon. Will keep your information in mind! Best of luck!
Thank you Oschner for treating Colby like a star! He’s absolutely the best of all that is good in the world. I’m so grateful to be a part of his extended family. What a blessing he is!
