I had a recurring sinus infection for about 2 months(it never fully went away). I was on 4 rounds of antibiotics before they thought I was just immune to that type of antibiotic. They put me on a much stronger one and that put my infection to an end :D. I would definately see if she can be put on a stronger type. Hope she feels better soon!

Not good, but I am at least glad to hear this from someone else, lol! We should already be starting to put $$$ aside for the orthodontic care we KNOW she will need:glare:. What treatment is your daughter getting? It seems they do things very differently with kids these days regarding orthodontic care. When I had braces, it was a simple thing. Get them put on, go back for adjustments and off in 2 years.

I think I am more worried, but we will see how he responds on Tuesday. I can expect it to take some months, but 15 months and no trace of a tooth coming down:001_huh:?? Crazy! It is hard for my daughter because her mouth/teeth look all messed up. There are missing teeth/gaps, some teeth only grown half way and two of her teeth( the teeth next to her two front) are coming out of her gum. I feel soooooo bad for her.

I don't even know what to say except, :grouphug: & :crying:.

My DD lost her front tooth in Aug. of 2009 (she was almost 9). There is no adult tooth that has grown in yet. Doesn't even look like it is trying to come in. She has had three x-rays and there is an adult front tooth there, but why is it not coming down??? We are going back to the dentist on Tuesday for another xray to compare with the others and see if it is moving at all. Has anyone experienced this themselves or with your children? I am scared her tooth will never grow. She was late getting her teeth. She didn't get her first tooth until 14 months old. Oh yeah, this was also her first ever lost tooth. Thanks for any insight!!:bigear:

Thank you everyone for all of your thoughts and prayers for my sister!!!!! My sister has finally been able to be off all meds and is doing much better. Her blood pressure has also gone back down to normal. The doctor still does not know exactly what was wrong with her. My sister had breast implants when she was 19 and soon after, she started to have strange things happen, like the outbreaks on her face, etc. Her white blood cells always seem to be elevated, etc. They think there is a possibility that she is allergic to the silicone from the implants. So, she will have some testing done for that. So, everything seems to be going well. She did feel a little queezy after eating yesterday and went to lay down for a little bit. Other than that, all is good!!!! Thanks again everyone! I am sorry I didn't post sooner, especially since I hate when others don't update:001_huh:, lol!

Hi everyone! I am so sorry i couldn't reply earlier. We have been so stressed with everything plus just our normal everday life. First off, I just want to thank everyone for the advice, thoughts, and prayers! Here is what happened: Monday, I showed up at the hospital and my sister was sitting up in bed. She had not thrown up or dry heaved for about 5-6 hours at that point. The night before, she was given a sedative to help her sleep and she had to be put on blood pressure meds. I was only there for about an hour when the nurse walked in and said she was being released:confused::confused::confused:! I am thinking wth??!! I was livid that she was being released, but what could I do? I had to take my sister home. She was still very weak and nauseous. Everyday so far, she has been very weak. She still needs to take the anti-nausea med or she feels like she will throw up. She has been able to keep simple foods down. Yogurt, jello, soup, etc. She went to the allergist yesterday. He told her flat out she was NOT having a reaction/allergy to something she ate. Remember, the doctor (on Saturday) was 100% sure she was having, not food poisoning, but an allergy to something she ate last Wednesday. The doctor is an id*ot! Her blood pressure is very high. 160's/90's. She was sent home with no blood pressure meds, even though she was on them in the hospital. She has been having her eyes completely black out where she can't see. This happens off and on. Tomorrow at 11, she is going to our family doctor. We will see what he says. All we know is that she was completely misdiagnosed and hopefully we will know more tomorrow.

Hi everyone! Thank you for all of the replies! I will reply to you in a bit, as I am going to leave for the hospital now.

Thank you to everyone!! I just spoke to our family doctor on the phone for a half hour. My sister and I have gone to this practice since we were little kids. Anyway, I spoke to the doctor and told him everything. He feels she is having a reaction to the Reglan also. Tomorrow, they will be speaking to the doctor at the hospital and we will probably have her transferred if nothing can be accomplished there. I will keep everyone posted. Also, if there is any other advice or anything, please let me know. :grouphug:

Update!! I just got off the phone with her nurse. My sister was starting to get a fever today. 100.? It is now 98.9 Her blood pressure is high and she is now on BP Meds!!!! She is on Reglan. I said to him that "what if she is allergic to that?" he of course is :confused:. He said she gets about 2 hours relief, if that. he had to give her a sedative, atavan (??). She is still throwing up bile and dry heaving. The doctor still thinks she is allergic to something she ate 5 days ago!!!! I am so fuming right now! I am so scared that something worse is wrong and they are wasting time!!!

Thanks! She was at max dose for Zofran and then they gave her Reglan. Neither one is helping her. I am going to request the scan/scope that someone suggested. She is on continuous IV fluid and meds right now :confused: I think we will decide tomorrow if we are going to transfer her somewhere else. Did I mention she has no insurance??

She is pretty incapacitated right now. I know she has been given Zofran and reglan. The 2nd ER trip, she was given Reglan. That is when the hives appeared.

She was given Zofran and Reglan. She only developed the hives after the second ER trip. She was given Reglan on that visit. So maybe it is the Reglan?

I forgot to add that we think we might take her somewhere else if this doctor will not do any further testing and just continues with this absurd notion that it is an allergy from a food she ate 5 days ago!

Thank you!!! I will definately request all her meds, etc. She has not been camping, etc. She used to work in an office with mold, about 3 months ago. She refused to go back there until he moved office or it was fixed. He moved offices. I will DEFINATELY ask about the bowel test. Thank you for that suggestion! She had No fever. I will ask about the stool. i believe she had just diahrea. She is still in the hospital right now. They admitted her yesterday afternoon. She literally can not keep down any water/liquid. Thank you soooo much!!

This is my sister. She is 31. No smoke/No drink/No drugs

Positive thoughts are with you!!! :grouphug:

Please if anyone here is married to/or close to a medical doctor, HELP ME!!!! My sister is a single mom to a 2 1/2 year old. She started to feel sick on Wednesday. Began throwing up wednesday night. Thursday, again, throwing up, stomach pain and diahrea. Friday, she was so weak and still throwing up that she went to the ER. They said there was blood in her urine, her white blood cell count was high, and she was dehydrated. They started an IV and gave her anti-nausea meds. She had a CT scan to check her gall bladder, stomach and kidneys. She has kidney stones in her kidneys but is not currently passing any( we already knew she had them). Her gall bladder was fine. She ended up being released with the diagnosis of a stomach ulcer and the flu. That night she slept some. Early in the morning she practically collapsed on the floor of my other sisters room and said she needed to go back to the ER. She was throwing up still. She went back to the ER and was put on more IV fluids and meds. They took an Xray to check for an obstruction. There was none. She was at full dosage of 2 different anti-nausea meds, and she was still throwing up. She then started to develop what looked like hives all over. I have photos if you need to see them. In front of our eyes, pink blotches would appear, stay for 3-5 minutes and then fade away. Her blood pressure was 160's/99. They decided to admit her. She was seen by a doctor upstairs and he has tried to say that she is allergic to something she ate 4/5 days ago and that is what is wrong!!! Ummmmm...I don't think so!!!! She started getting hives after being given medicine by the hospital! She has had NO food since Wednesday. She is on DAY 5 with no food and constant throwing up despite being on full dose of meds. The doctor is still trying to say it is an allergy to a food she ate. That doesn't make ANY sense. Please....can you help me? Something is not right. Either they are to stubborn to look into something further or idk??? Background: We believe my sister is suffering from some sort of auto-immune disease. We all think she may have lupus. She had some tests done and they came back inconclusive. That was a couple years ago. She never had any further testing done. She develops these cystic sores over her chin/nose area that will last for a week. They will come out of no where or if she is in the sun for a period of time. She has also out of the blue, develop a swollen lip. It will swell 2x its size.

I have a question about something that happened yesterday. Thanks!!!

Thanks! Just put it in my favorites, so I can look into it more. :D

I am familiar with this book. I am reading the reviews about it on Amazon right now.:) Thanks for reminding me about it!

Oooohhh! This looks GREAT! Thank you:)

Any good cookbooks out there?? I am looking for whole foods only and scratch cooking. Using only real ingredients and not too many beans/lentils/grains. Thank you!!!!

My really good friend is Native American and she is not a Christian. She is definately more spiritual, but will not label or call herself a Christian. She is actually struggling right now because her husband is Catholic and has started to teach the kids different prayers, etc. She is trying to balance it with her own beliefs, but it is hard.
