Arthritis sufferers helped by blood cleaning machine

Has anyone with joint replacements had a colonoscopy and did they need to
take the antibiotics before it.  I am somewhat perturbed because the surgeon
that I consulted says that I don't need the antibiotics before it.  I said
that I had a card from my orthopedic surgeon that said I ...

I'm going to have a TKR on my knee on June 16th. I have Kaiser, and they
have an entire system of preparation for this adventure; once you are
plugged into it, you are pretty much just along for the ride.
But sometimes the ride can have some lighter moments;

Tonight when I was doing my mouth rinses the packing in the socket came out.
Now there is just a webbing of stitches at the top and a cavity with
something whitish in it. I'm thinking it's the bone graft material he put in
there but is it going to all come out now? Each morning when ...

Has anyone heard of ABT trial studies somewhere in Pennsylvania
treating RA with a relatively new antibiotic called "Levaquin"?

I saw my neuro last Thursday and she did an occipital nerve block there in
the office.  It wore off in about 6 hours.  She also ordered an EMG of my
ankles to rule out tarsal tunnel syndrome (like there's any doubt!).
I had a more productive visit with my RD this morning.  She put ...

Ok I am confused. Can you be positive for RA and then on another test a year
later its negative? Does that mean you still have RA?
I have ALL the symptoms and I am on Remicade. Doc thinks I still have it,
but I am wondering ???

My mother is in town until Wednesday so I have been missing. She is
napping at the moment so I snuck in here to read ASA.  This afternoon, I
pick up her two sisters and a cousin and we head to dinner. What, eh,
huh, what,......   Only the baby sister is the one with the hearing ...

Well, I have gone from bad to scary. I can't tell a whole lot of people
how bad things are here, so I'm going to vent and request MAJOR prayers.
I have come to the conclusion that once you are over 50 and have bookoo
qualifications and experience, no one wants to hire you.  I have ...

Hi all!  I'm baaaack.......
Seriously, I've been away, because I just haven't been able to sit very
long at my computer, for a number of reasons.  I'm too tired after work,
spending most of my days on the computer there; my back is very sore,

Visit with psych yesterday result in increasing the lexapro dosage to
20mg/day and we will see where it takes us. He didn't think loss of appetite
was a side effect of the drug, but the pharmacy sheet lists it second as a
side effect. I am off all pain meds now including neurontin. ...

To my ASA family...
thank you for your replies and forgive me for not answering
individually!
it has been really hectic getting the pre-op done, the PT appts,

My mother had her other tkr yesterday, I have simply been too busy to
psot about it. My grand nephew is graduating this weeken and my sister
and her husband have come. So with my coursework for the spring term,
the grad, the company, and the surgery I have not had time for much.

on 5-25 the lead guitarist announced that phish, the band ive spent 9 years of
my life following around will be breaking up for good. It was a strange day as
2 hours after i heard, i went to the first fitting of my wedding dress. I am
doing ok, and thankfully will be seeing the last ...
