    Ashley called -- said that she had signed for me to be able to access records. The nurse couldn't find it, but gave me some "non-information"!! She said that, if a patient has "elevated liver enzymes" that they couldn't go on the INH . . . I said, "hers are elevated????" She meekly said, "slightly . . . that's all I can say." She told me that the chart...

    That is the coolest thing I've seen! Fiddle-Faddle, THANK YOU!!!!!!! I could play with this site all day -- I feel like a kid splattering paint!! I thank you, and my husband thanks you (because otherwise I would try it on our walls!)

    Hmmmmm...... I think that Steve has always posted very insightful, thought-provoking responses. He isn't "long-winded" like me , but he gets to the heart of the issue and provides accurate, pertinant information. Personally, there has been a thread in which I knew my "mouth" would get me in trouble should I choose to post there. I read Steve...

    As if the latent TB weren't enough . . . . . Prior to Ashley getting married, she started developing nausea and vomiting - quite severe. We all knew (or thought) that it was due to the BCP's they were trying . . . (No, she's not pregnant -- should have prefaced that!) However -- the doctor's office called her today and said that she was ineligible...

    I'm so sorry you're feeling frustrated . . . it happens to all of us, though -- so please know you're not alone. I agree completely with everything everyone has said. If you are drinking protein drinks or taking a protein supplement, you may want to check it out COMPLETELY -- sometimes lists are incorrect, despite VERY thorough investigation. Also, if...

    I had never thought about it that way. I am guilty of not putting back into the forum with regard to newbies. I have mostly posted in the gab/chat room where I am within my "comfort zone". I have posted on the pregnancy thread, think I may have been of some help, but I have avoided the others for fear of being "blasted". I once had FEAR described to me...

    Have been talking to Ashley daily, of course . . . I am trying NOT to meddle, trying NOT to be the interfering mother-in-law type, but she's my BABY!!! She called tonight . . . my parents told her that if she would quit her job, they would pay her rent . . . . they are very worried that with a full school schedule, plus working close to 40 hours per week...

    Happy Birthday Fiddle-Faddle!!!!! xoxoxoxoxoxLynne

    Chelsea -- I am so sorry to see you leave. You have been such a source of comfort, of information, and a friend. My initial reaction is to say "Please don't leave" . . . . but then, again, the reason you are leaving is EXACTLY why I left months ago. I think that it is so sad that the good people end up leaving, the rabble-rousers stay, and we're left with...

    Thank you all, so VERY much. gfp -- my daughter's doctor didn't call her back yet. She has an appointment, I believe, in the beginning of the week. I have to say again -- you are amazing. I can't thank you enough for offering this. If I am not mistaken, you are atheist? I have been yelled at by MANY a family member that I must be an "agnostic" ...

    I know that AIM toothpaste is gluten-free, but don't know much more . . . . !!!

    Thank you all for your information . . . I feel a LOT better. It was so scary when I first heard it -- with her asthma, etc., I was so worried. Now that I've heard other's stories, and know that it is going to be okay, I'm not nearly as scared. Thank you. Lynne And the chicken soup sounds like a VERY good idea . . . . our friend Helen passed away three...

    I LOVE English accents . . . . but I don't think he could say Luh(a)vull in that beautiful accent!

    That's really good advice . . . thanks, Carla. Also, thanks for making me smile a little . . . it's a little refreshing given that I've been bawling since she called . . . . .

    There you go . . . . . . Just saw the addition . . . will tell her about the B complex in addition to B6. They're all water-soluble, so if she gets too much, she'll just pee it out!!!

    Our local news just said that there are several people here who are very sick from the spinach . . . . .

    gfp -- just talked with my daughter again -- she was blown away by your offer. She is going to call the doctor to see if they want to do that, and if so, we'll get it in motion. We will reimburse you ANY costs that you incur during the process, should this happen. She said to thank you VERY much. Much love to you, Lynne

    Thanks, gfp . . . .I already called Ash and told her what you said. The doctor at the clinic has already prescribed B6 supplements, but not the iron . . . I told her that if if wasn't a prescription B6, then I would call Freeda . . . . I haven't called yet, so I'll get the Vitamin D as well. I know she has to watch that because it's fat soluble, but will...

    I haven't EVER had a seller "talk" to me that way . . . I would want clarification as to what he meant as well. He may want positive feedback and be anxious about it, but that certainly isn't going to get positive feedback! I'm overly sensitive sometimes, too, but I think that was downright RUDE. As a buyer, you have the right to make sure that your item...

    Angie -- thank you so much for looking that up. I'm not in much of a state to think clearly -- I simply freaked out when I found out about it. Ashley has Asthma that is SO difficult to control . . . at age 20 she still has to take her peak flows twice a day, and is on a myriad of asthma preventative meds. I think that is why they want her on the INH for...

    From what she said, the meds will make it stay latent for now, since her tests were so high . . . She will always have latent TB, and will have to have chest x-rays each year for life . . . . I THINK that's what she said . . . I got so upset, that quite frankly I don't know if I have everything correctly.
  23. tiredofdoctors
    I just found out that my daughter, Ashley, has been diagnosed with latent TB. She had to have a TB test at school, and the nurse told her that the reaction was the worst she had seen. They did a number of panels of bloodwork, and her "numbers" -- I don't know WHAT numbers -- were extremely high. A chest X-ray showed that it was normal, and they said that...

    BTW: 40 is the new 30 . . . . . Also, have to say, my 40's are GREAT! Lovin' it . . . . !!!!!

    I was just bustin' Chris' chops! Had to give him some grief over SOMETHING -- the guy is freaking amazing!! Jen e-mailed the picture of us . . . as you can tell, I DON'T like having my picture taken, but I WILL place it in my avatar . . . . TEMPORARILY. The other girl in the picture is Brooke, my son's girlfriend . . . . . . Both she and Jen's pictures...
