THANKS EVERYBODY! I SURVIVED QUINTUPLE BYPASS WITH COMPLICATIONS!! I'M NOW LIKE A YOUNG AND ONLY PARTIALLY POIS-DAMAGED BUCK OF A HORSE. STILL IN ICU YOUR WELL-WISHING GIVES ME LOTS OF STRENGH. KEEP IN MIND THAT SHIPPING YOU FREE NURSIES REQUIRES COD POSTAGE NOT COVERED BY MEDICARE OR NHS!
FROM OUR NORD FRIENDSIf you wish, you can feel free to mention that NORD suggested that you contact him. http://urology.tulane.edu/faculty/hellstrom.html Dr. Hellstrom might also be a good resource for you.
Demo,,I had an O event last Friday night, and I am glad to report that I have had no symptoms. My thoughts are that it might have something to do with my bodily magnesium being heightened, perhaps. I have been consuming two large spinach salads daily for over a week in an attempt to raise my magnesium naturally. I waited to report this to make sure I didn't have any Phase B backlash, but so far so good. Earlier that Friday night I had taken one half a DLPA 375mg and it messed with my head. It didn't feel like it helped me in any way so I don't think I will try it again. But I think loading up on spinach daily is a keeper.
This is encouraging. Do you eat raw or canned spinach?
LJ,QuoteThis is encouraging. Do you eat raw or canned spinach?Mainly raw baby spinach. I have been cooking some though, I have read that some nutrients are absorbed much better after cooking, such as iron. The magnesium idea is kind of a wild guess, but it is strange that everything nutritionally that has seemed to help me has been high in magnesium. Note that more magnesium means more testosterone. Maybe some people need a higher Mg/Ca ratio, or something.
A little note about Lyme disease (I will be tested for it in early January)From Wikipedia:A developing hypothesis is that the chronic secretion of stress hormones as a result of Borrelia infection may reduce the effect of neurotransmitters, or other receptors in the brain by cell-mediated pro-inflammatory pathways, thereby leading to the dysregulation of neurohormones, specifically glucocorticoids and catecholamines, the major stress hormones.[69][70] This process is mediated via the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Additionally tryptophan, a precursor to serotonin appears to be reduced within the central nervous system (CNS) in a number of infectious diseases that affect the brain, including Lyme.[71]

Welcome back Demo !Once again, thank you very much for all the job you made. All the contacts, all mails sent give a real credibility to our forum.
Welcome Back, Demo! Glad things went well with the surgery!! []
Quote from: EDS on 18/12/2009 15:08:01Welcome Back, Demo! Glad things went well with the surgery!! []Thanks, EDS!!Yesterday was Scary Complication #2. I was defbrillated with electric shock zaps to my chest, just like those in TV ER shows! WENT FINE!I much prefer writing POIS posts and emails!All the encouragent here in this shocking ordeal (I thought I had indigestion, not a massive blockage of 5 heart arteries requiring open heart surgery!) has been WONDERFUL. Thank you so much!!!Suggestion to all: get an angiogram, the only way to determine for you. It's very simple. Controlling high BP, cholesterol, with meds is NOT good enough! Plaque obstruction builds "silently and painlessly, but then one day........don't be like me and wait happily to the end. I now feel exhausted-but-on-my-way- to-brand-new-exciting-life!!!!!!I'm so glad you've all become part of my new life.
Demo's new POIS finding from heart surgery?Aldosteronism overactivity of my adrenal gland makes too much aldosterone which signals my body to make little potassium. So I'm now on spironalactone med that is an Aldosterone Antagonist.We'll see soon if it bumps my cure for POIS!!
