Question for science geeks

by rebelfighter in

friends

do any of you know anything about prescription medications and their reactions?

the doctors cannot explain why but i react to everything they prescribe to the point that now all my doctors are attempting neutral remedies before medication.

tomorrow i am having surgery to drill a hole in my head to put in a titanium rod and we are doing local instead of general simply because it lessens the amount of needed drugs.

My liver is fine. Overall my health other then reoccurring ear infections which the ear specialist cannot explain. At 65 all my blood work is perfect. The only medication I take is rediculous and now we or "I" suspect is the result of having taken the drug Cipro for these ear infections. I currently have to take 500mg daily of Topamax to prevent my migraines which will rage out of control if a single dose is missed.

I just went through a batter of test to see if I had an auto immune deficiency and they all came back negative. All kidney and liver test came back perfect.

OrphanCrow,

My daughter and son call my house the free and clear zone. LOL. I am alergic to everything. It is a never ending list and unfortunately my daughter has inherited a lot of the same. The list includes and I will probably miss a good part but here goes perfumes, a lot of chemicals, grass, molds, tree pollins, citrus acids, yellow cheeses, red wines, beans, yogurt, wheat, dark chocolate, dyes, at the moment I am drawing a blank. But when I shop I have to make sure that everything is natural no perfumes no dyes. This includes trash bags. I eat no processed foods because they can cause migraines.

TheAceInhibitor,

Another attempt to post this response. I have tried 3 times to send a picture of what I carry in my wallet but that did not work.

Cortisone shots-uncontrolled shaking for hours

Flonase -severe flu like symptoms

Keflex &other antibiotics -extreme sleep and unable to waken easily & unable to stay awake

Lipitor - high BP

VIOXX - Very hyper & inability to sleep for or sit down for 36 hrs after taking 1 dose

Tylenol with codeine & other pain medication - very high energy level, not good if the intent is to rest (when released after c-section I cleaned 4,000 Sq ft colonial home and shopped a mall in one day)

Motrin- causes rapid heart rate

Paxil- raises BP

Alka Seltzer flu - 2 doses caused extreme sleep for 2 days

Zyrtec - 1 dose slept and when awake totally confused for next 24 hours

Ave lox - throat swelled

Amox/k Clay - sores in mouth &throat

Amoxicillin - dizziness

Contrast dye - sever fluid retention for weeks and boils

Tram - caused sever flu like symptoms chills and stomach pains

Claritin - sever leg pains and cramps

Dopamine nausea and flushed (ICU staff added this)

Clindamycin 300mg - sever depression and thoughts of suicide

Albuterol - caused sever migraine

Metaxalone 800mg caused heart to race

Predisone- heart rhythm issues

Cipro - migraines, other head issues, sever hearing loss

Gabapentin - totally drunk on 1 dose and good hang over next day

There is a very long list of ear and eye drops that the ear specialist has usedan over the past 2 years that have either caused 20 alarm fires or my BP to drop.

I am sure there are other drugs but I think you might get the picture. I do not care for tattoos but have seriously considered one that says this is a medication free zone

Tomorrow I am having surgery to drill a hole in my head to put in a titanium rod and we are doing local instead of general simply because it lessens the amount of needed drugs. The last 2 times I had general anesthesia I ended up in ICU because the drugs messed so bad with my BP it took 2 days to recover and bring it back up to normal. Oh yeah LOL, I reacted to the drugs that they used to bring it up.

My complaint is everyone else goes to the doctor says this is what is wrong with me. Doctor writes prescription within a couple of days they fell better. NOT me here are my results I either end up in the ER or I feel 10X worse then before the doctors appointment.

I have asked numerous doctors isn't there a test they can run to see what I can and cannot take. No. One doctor did off handedly say maybe you are missing an enzyme. So is there a test? Got no reply. There has to be some way to find out besides trial and error. As the lady taking the intake for my procedure said you do not have the minor reactions, you get the major reactions to these drugs.

When I was 62 I found out my dad was not my biological father, ancestry (com) in less then a month found my biological dad through DNA.

Please keep in mind my BRAIN is wired for Math and Arts -- I do not get any of these sciences, nada none. My kids have finally learned mom does get science or electronic. Please make your answers easy no science terms please. Thank you.

Convicted Child Rapist Proselytizing. Is the Community Aware? Is the Community Safe?

by freemindfade in

wow, this is awesome.

this really shows the jw passiveness towards child sex abusers.

there needs to be more of this exposing this!.

OrphanCrow,

I actually had forgotten about some of the state laws. In the state where I reside a convicted pedophile cannot have access to the Internet, including smart phones. Also they cannot reside in a home that has Internet service. So I am wondering how they accessing their WT material.

Never a JW but my opinion is they do not belong in field service. Children answer doors. I also do not agree with the policy of not informing ALL members of the congregation that you have a registered pedophile amongst you. I can go online and find out if any of my neighbors are on the list.

Totally disgusting behavior on the part of the WT.

The worldwide fear policy....

by The Rebel in

friends

it seems the media heavily underline the dark side in everything.

yes there are really bad problems in the world and they need to be addressed.

but we also need to keep on the positive.

I gave up on trusting the news media for reporting the news well over 30 years ago when I personally knew the facts of an incident that involved the United States Park Police and a group of protesters. The news media took to the protesters side and said how wrong the officers were in their actions. Many officers were injured that day (personal friends) with objects these protesters claimed they just grabbed that were just laying around and that is plain bull crap. Yes and when it went to trial the protesters did some serious time behind bars, now did the news media come back and report this h... NO. No they are out there to make MONEY what makes money juicy news reporting.

As for advertising much prefer friends recommendations and personal research of the products.

Crabby,

Research Shriner's Hospital. The Masonic organizations LOVES children. The Shriner's raise large sums of money to support 23 hospitals. The parents pay ZERO. The Ladies of the Oriental Shrine raise large sums of money so the parents will not have to pay for a place to stay while their child is being treated.

That is only 2 of the Masonic organizations. OK let me tell you about a third Masonic organization that is wonderful it is made up of girls from the age of 10 to 20. They learn how to run meetings, run the organization, plan fundraisers, plan fun activities and their philanthropic is Hearing Impaired Kids Endowment. The state I am from these girls last year raised $25,000. This money is awarded to ANY child between birth and 20. We do not ask any questions regarding race or religion and they do not have to be affiliated with any of our organizations. Just need basis. A form filled out by parents and one filled out by the doctor. In the process the girls learn respect for their parents, other adults, God, their country, they must maintain good grades in schools, they learn wonderful social skills and they get to travel almost every weekend.

All adults who chaperone these girls are Certified Adult Volunteers and are required to go through 8 hours of annual training. We must also have a criminal and financial background check.

Another Masonic organization is the Order of the Eastern Star. This group is for Women but men may also join. The women do run the organization. The 2 years that I was Worthy Matron my focus for Charity work was for abused women 1 year and the 2nd year was shelters for homeless families. Both years we also raised money for scholarships for our youth organizations.

All Masonic organizations are there to raise money, it is just we havery fun doing it.

Poor Sisters

i really felt for you sisters i mean i really did.

when you showed up at the sunday meeting and found out the subject of the talk was going to be -and i can't quite remember the exact wording- but something to the effect of marriage and headship, or honoring and obeying your husband, or something like that how many of you wanted to jump right back in your car and head home.

i mean 45 straight minutes of beating down you poor ladies and telling you that you are not worthy of making one decision, taking the lead in anything, don't question the man be obedient and keep quiet.

Oh my, oh my, oh my Never a JW but the "Elder" said I was hoping you would see differently. OH, h..., NO!! It would be a cold day in h... before a man ordered me around.
