First off, let’s start with a quick:  I’m fine, all is well, nobody has the baby cancer.  We’re all geared up for IVF cycle #3. There. Now.  HOLY MOTHER OF GOD THIS PLACE IS AWESOME! This new Dr. and her new office rocked my world.  It was literally like somebody took a little piece of my heart out and grew up a big girl Dr….and then took a little smidgen of my brain out and built that big girl Dr. and office.  While I know looks can be deceiving, I totally bought it.  I’m all in folks.  All.  In. Dr. Babymaker kicks ass.  She’s everything I ever wanted and more.  I think I love her.  Yeah.  I do. She’s nice, but not over the top.  She’s smart, but not condescending.  She’s got a sense of humo...

I know its just the first consultation appointment and that I have close to zero questions about what is about to happen to my body over the next 60 days, but its still a big step for us.  We’ve been so gun shy about this since the dead baby vacuum suckin. I was checkin out the doc online again today and it reminded me of all that awesome stuff I’ve been missing out on.  I have to admit, I kinda got excited to have my boobs get 2 sizes bigger and all those pesky little cysts get 2 sizes smaller (well, in comparison to the ridiculously giant eggs I plan on producing).  It makes my stomach all giggly inside to picture what my ass will look like after p...

When you really stop and think about it, aren’t you more active in the summer months than the winter months? I think I am with the pool, walks in the evenings and running with the kids all day long. So this little tidbit of information shouldn’t come as a huge surprise. A five-year study found people treated in the summer were on average 8% more likely to see their blood pressure come down to healthy levels. These same findings were reported from 15 VA hospitals across the US. Not only are blood pressure’s elevated in the winter months but the incidence of stroke and heart attacks are also...

High cholesterol and heart disease do not mix! Researchers found that 37 percent of Americans with diseases that affect the heart and vascular system had reached recommended levels of LDL-C (bad cholesterol), but only 17 percent were at recommended levels for all lipids – LDL-C, HDL-C (“good” cholesterol) and triglycerides. In contrast, 85 percent of those without cardiovascular diseases were at recommended LDL-C levels, while 67 percent were at recommended levels for all lipids.  What do we need to do to decrease our risk levels? Control your weight, blood pressure and blood lipid levels through good l...

Doctors are not sure when to treat their patients even when posing and increased risk for advanced heart disease by being a diabetic. But a new study finds that even when people with diabetes show up in their doctor’s office with a high blood pressure reading, there’s only a 50-50 chance that each of them will get some sort of attention for it. That might mean a change to their medications, or a plan to follow up a few weeks later to see if the reading is still high. What happens to the other 50%. Does their pressure just get worse? Do they monitor their high blood pressure or just throw caution to the wind, without even know they are doing so? The national goal for people with diabetes is less than 130/...

No, I haven’t either. That’s what makes my father’s most recent experience with his urologist so unusual. I take my father to see Dr. C every four months for a checkup and to get a shot of Lupron for the prostate cancer he was diagnosed with a decade or so ago. My father has never had any symptoms of this cancer, and his PSA (prostate specific antigen) test has been “undetectable” for it for some time now, but he keeps on getting the shot. I guess Dr. C is playing it safe. Or maybe the shot is what’s keeping it asymptomatic. Anyway, we showed up at the office and Dr. C came out to the waiting room looking sheepish. He said he was sorry, but the shipment of Lupron had not arrived and he could not gi... Caregiver Notes blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1226875 Tue, 12 Feb 2008 23:26:30 +0100 1226875
