Were you able to successfully breast feed your baby do to medical issues and dietary restrictions?

admin — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 02:49:34 +0000

Good morning! I found out last monday that I’m pregnant again. This pregnancy was a very unexpected, but very a welcome surprise. With my first two children I was unsuccessful in being able to breast feed due to many factors0. My breast milk dried up between 5 to 6 weeks after birth I have PCOS, Meineres Disease, Celiac Disease, very strict diet controlled Diabetes and Osteo Arthritis. I don’t eat any grains, sugary fruit, salty food, fast food, processed foods, fatty foods, very little dairy, no foods from the nightshade family (ie: tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, cayenne pepper, sweet peppers etc). I eat mainly non-starchy vegetables, and lean meat. Yeah I know it sounds boring, and it is boring at times. But I feel much better since I’ve dropped nearly 130 lbs in the last year. I’ve got a lot more weight to lose, but I can do that after the baby is born. Oh I did forget to mention that I do have allergens to food as well. So those foods are deleted from my diet as well.

I know that the best way to determine this is to see a lactation consultant, which I intend to do. But I just wanted to know if anyone out there was successful in being able to breast feed do to medical issues or dietary restrictions.

I have a brother and my father that both have RA really severe, and lately my hands and feet have really been hurting. I’m going to schedule tests and if I have RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis) will this allow me to be discharged from the military? I don’t want to end up like my brother and father.

medical marijuana possibility?

admin — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 16:59:22 +0000

back in 2003 i fractured my left ankle from falling down a hill. the doctors diagnosed it as a “mild sprain” and 2 years later learned from the foot doctor that it was broken the whole time and never got properly treated. now i have a dead ATL that wont heal ever again. now 6 years later, after many visits to the pediatrist and failed therapy treatments, the pain is still very very strong and i have trouble walking at times. ALSO, my right thumb (first metacarpal bone) has a dead ligament and also has as much pain as my ankle.

ive tried tylenol for arthritis, ibuprofin, vicodin, etc. they have no effects on relieving the pain what so ever. does anyone think medical marijuana is a possibility? i live in michigan, so that is why i ask the question, and have heard some good results. someone help me! please and thanks!

Lupos: my mother was diagnosed with it and I believe I may have it as well… Professional Medical opinion plz

admin — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 03:53:39 +0000

My mother was diagnosed recently with Lupus, with the physicians telling her she probably has had it since her mid 30′s. I am 35, have the same medical history as her to this point, even down to the fact that I have had a major onslought of migraines since I was 33. I have issues with anxiety and depression, migrains, senseitvity to light and to touch, general fatigue, malaise, get bronchitis yearly, fever blisters, ulcers in my mouth, arthritis in 3 major joints on my right side, chronic diarrhea and the malar rash… Honestly I have more symptoms, but I am tired of typing. I have had several tests:
ANA Screen – Negetive
RA Quantitative – <20
Sedimentation Rate – 29
C-Reactive Protein – <.05

Basically because of the tests, the doctors dismissed Lupus, should I pursue this and push the dotors, the headaches have been daily for going on 3 years now, the pain I am in on a daily basis is unbearable, and the doctors think this is about pain meds, can anyone help me with this?
far from ticking me off, I understand the qustion and totally understand it. I have done accupunture, Bio feed back and chriopractic among others.
And remember, my basic question here is do I push the doctors into pursueing this, they basically have said the one test says you don’t have it. But my mom had almost identical test results.

My kneecap was broken in a car accident. How much should i ask for in compensation besides medical bills?

admin — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 16:57:58 +0000

On July 30th I was injured in an automobile accident. It was the other drivers fault and my kneecap was broken. Their insurance company said they will cover my medical bills and lost wages. I was off work for a month and on crouches with a kneebrace. I am back at work and still have to wear the kneebrace. The doctor says the long term effects would be that I will develop arthritis in my knee later in life. I don’t want to get a lawyer because I don’t trust them and don’t want them taking the majority of my settlement. I was just wondering how much I should settle for besides my medical bills and lost wages. I’m refering to pain and sufferring and overall inconvenience. Can anyone help me? I don’t plan on settling until the doctor clears me of any more treatment. Another question is since I have quit taking the pain meds I have noticed a pain in my elbow that was not there before the accident. Is it to late to have this covered as well?

will medical assistance pay…?

admin — Tue, 24 May 2011 04:51:08 +0000

Does anyone know if medical assistance (state assistance) will pay for gastric bypass surgery. I have been overwieght all my life and have tried MANY diets, stuck to them religiously, and still can’t loose weight. I do not have diabetes, or a thyroid problem or high blood pressure. I’m quite healthy, except being over 150 pounds over wieght. (also, my BMI is 43) I have arthritis in my ankle, and a bad knee. I was also told from many surgeons that if I loose all this weight all my problems will go away (cannot have surgery on knee becuase it would be a 5% chance of success, also cannot deliver vaginally if i have another child, and have endometriosis becuase of this weight gain) So i was wondering, I know I can get letters of refferals to have this surgery done (at least 6 letters) will medical assistance pay for it?
(I know there are some real douche bags out there that will be harse when answering this question, so please don’t bother to answer if you will be an a**.. It hurts and this is a very serious question.)
THank you
