Renai Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: Did we already talk about chiropractors? or about chiros who are also physical therapists? I recovered from a major rotater cuff issue because of a PT/chiro. We have a great chiro we've been seeing for years. He even adjusted Gymnast when she was about 6 weeks old. I intuitively knew she needed to go, I don't know why I waited so long. He expanded his office and has a massage therapist and acupuncturist serving in his clinic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Hi! Popping in to snoop & catch up. Who am I kidding? I'm never going to catch up. I need the Pink Monkey version. My news: I have a biggish thyroid nodule. Thyroid fnx normal. Already had ultrasound. Already have referral for fine need biopsy. Waiting on endo appt. When doctors say "I'll mark this referral urgent" it's not reassuring though I know most thyroid nodules are totally benign... 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsuga Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Horn blower, that is scary. We have a lot of thyroid issues and growths in my family. So far, it has never killed anybody... or even really done anything noticeable to them but make them skinny and slightly nervous. This in spite of surgery, biopsies, some kind of iodine treatment I don't know about, etc. I hope your issues are similarly benign. :grouphug: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when they say, if you work it's holiday plus overtime, something they have never said to us before in the 3 years I have been there, I really expected to see more people there. I guess people actually have lives and do stuff. Interesting. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 If you did I don't remember. For her skin issue? Yes. The corticosteroid cream made it grow faster, so she stopped using it 4 days after she started. We called the doc and she said some people respond well to it and some don't. The doctor has her scheduled for an earlier appointment in March rather than May. She mentioned giving her a chemo pill or doing light therapy. Research shows light therapy works well. I haven't read up on a chemo pill yet, but is sounds drastic, no? Dd heard chemo and said, No way! Now I do remember sharing this. Still don't know what to do. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a picture of dd16, when she was 6 months she had climbed up one of the push walker toys, was standing on top of it, and holding on to the back of the dining chair. She may have continued upward if there were more rungs to climb... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 6 regular big washers and 2 quadruple washers (those were for sheets and blankets, yo). Gymnast was actually quite helpful, and I was quite pleased.

I don't think the word "only" belongs with the word "disfiguring" in the same sentence unless one is speaking of their own issue, not someone else's. But I think everyone gets a say in whether or not they want to be "only disfigured". :confused1: What the heck was that doctor thinking?

Renai Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I don't think the word "only" belongs with the word "disfiguring" in the same sentence unless one is speaking of their own issue, not someone else's. I saw ds15 coming out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel today and noticed he has a couple of new patches of vitiligo on his back. He has had one on his chest for 6-7 years. We discussed it, I gave him the information about it, and asked him what he wanted to do about it. He said "nothing", and I said okay. I think his answer may have been different if he was female. It's not too noticeable and covered by a shirt so he doesn't want to get any creams to use on it. College girl had it, too. We are rife with vitiligo. But I think everyone gets a say in whether or not they want to be "only disfigured". :confused1: What the heck was that doctor thinking? Especially a teen girl with already low self-esteem issues. It's like saying, "It's only going to make you uglier than you think you already are." I'm hoping I didn't have it on speakerphone when she said it, but I can't remember. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
