INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

Feline that is a perfect summary of the problem of the HPV vaccine. Do you mind if I copy it to Pain and Other Things. Then maybe I can pull up the original trial and the pro-con about fast tracking. There was a documentary some years ago about what you described. It highlighted several families where the girls had untoward effects.

The vaccine was one of the first drugs fast tracked by the FDA. The FDA effectively changed the process of how a drug was approved. The discussion at the time was the < 1000 girls in the study. length of the study(short), not sure what else.

The extension was how would this apply to other drugs. The fast tracking negated allot of the safety mechanisms. Considering that a % of approved drugs are found to be unsafe after the approval. Perceived reduction in the safety of the pre-approval process was of concern.

Feline, I'm the same way. Often looking for an old post, I find a post with a typo and am compelled to fix it. Thanks for the repost permission. Your post is truly perfect re: the thoughts of a mother protecting her child from harm.

Susie M Your welcome on the storm stuff. We share allot down here. Everyone has tidbits tp make it through. Another thing that we share is how to manage bugs. Up north, I was mortified to see a bug truck either at my home or someonelse's Here we sit and chat with total strangers.

Blue another thought on the cough. I recently 5 weeks ago went on CPAP. I had trouble breathing for more than a year. One of the problems was mucus membrane swelling. I managed it for awhile with Listerine and Biotene. I knew the source though was related to mouth breathing after I feel asleep. DRY as a dessert. Caused a dry cough. Ask your hubby is you snore? You can pull up other questions easily. Might be worth alook

The CPAP has humidified airflow. Not only are the mucus membranes recovered, my sense of smell has improved. Whoooooooohoooo . I was shocked at first. It keeps getting better. Silver ling behind the cloud--again

Even if you don't try a test for apnea. Maybe a room humidifier would help.

Blue: Here we go Evidence based research

http://www.arthritisresearchuk.org/news/general-ne...

"Participants were followed for five years to see whether they developed certain autoimmune diseases - rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and systemic lupus erythematosus.

During that time, 1.76 per cent of the participants developed an autoimmune disease.

"There was a noticeable difference between the two groups of patients, with 2.91 per cent of OSA sufferers being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, compared with just 1.53 per cent of non-sufferers.

Once certain geographic and socioeconomic factors had been taken into account, the researchers concluded that people with OSA were almost twice as likely as those without the sleep condition to develop an autoimmune disease over the five-year period."

YOOOHOOOOO Blue you should ask for a sleep study

Bluebird. Sorry the CPAP didn't work for you. I knew I needed it for a year. SNAFU's delayed the result which was receiving the unit. A whole friggen year of SNAFU's.

It was not easy the first week or so, but it was worked out. I am, however, going to try another mask. That requires an 2 hour trip for a fit, but I linked it to another doc visit the same day within a few minutes of each other.

BUT BUT but, Hahahaha I did feel good that with the following symptoms and dx of cough, sleeping trouble, and lupus that after reading came to a conclusion you should have a sleep study. Whalla, you had it, but had you not, it may have been a viable chase. I love the chase, I must admit. Look for that puzzle piece that was dropped under the couch.

Many are to young to remember snafu. It's original meaning was from WW2. "Situation normal all fucked up". It was down graded in Merriam Webster's to " situation normal all fouled up". I like it's original meaning.

Blue, " There is a feeling in my throat - that of a cool rush of wind - it never stops". My thought was a problem with the epiglottis. Similar to what Chance Sensi's dog has. That could be a problem, but first Gerds

Interestingly, and didn't expect this is GERDs could be a problem.

With the connective tissue disorders of Lupus and Scleroderma , Gerds is a problem b/c of the esophagus problems. A dear friend has scleroderma. You know longevity is cut short with these diseases, but they are differently managed now than in earlier times. My friend was given 20 years to live when dx'd at 19. She's 72 now. Vibrant and irritating the world(activist). She has been very active in the Scleroderma group for many years i.e decades.

One dietary change she made based on recommendations, was no meat. She eats salmon and nothing spicy. Salmon exclusively is her choice b/c she doesn't like other fish. I'd have to call her and see what the recommendations to her group other than what she has done.

If GERDS is already apart of your known things. Then this is irrelevant. But the way you describe positioning it fits.

But this study which is very technical also fits

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7075127

What I recommend is a Swallowing study with Real time Fluroscopy with a Speech pathologist at the study.

What they look at is how all the structures work in the swallowing and function of all that happens in the throat.

Concurrent to that, it is reasonable to have a GI guy do and endoscopy which is a look into the esophagus, stomach, first portion of the duodenum. Your interest is the esophagus. That would show if Gerds were a problem b/c evidence of regurgitation undx'd previously i.e tissue inflammation. That can be controlled with drugs and diet. Drugs are another discussion.

BUT BUT but and another but the cider..........Oh the cider

For those that have done a roll over. DH Greg did a rollover. He walked out of ER that night and we applauded him. He survived b/c of his seatbelt.

But there was a time he wouldn't wear it. I had to pull the "I won't get in the car if you don't." It then became automatic after a time.

But must admit if there were a passenger in the van they would have been squisshed

Thanks Loverly. YAY Drugs that help and create problems. Polypharmacy. is close to the top of all hospital admissions.

Then there is cider vinegar. No clue and not going to look about the blood thingy. I once was talked into wormwort(d). Never took it after buying. But I did take notice in a potions class in a Harry Potter movie when it was brought up.

We as humans survived b/c we paid attention to animals that survived on things i.e vegetation.. Those things grew to include other things like cider vinegar survived over thousands of years. Flaxseeds were found in casks in tombs 5000 thousand years old, still viable b/c the husk wasn't broken. In Charlemagne's time, he declared that all subjects should take so much flax per day. I forget the amount. It was by observation that it was good. Empirical science, but they didn't know those words then. They just knew it was good. It was Omega3. What do you here today? Omega3. Oh getting on a tangent Hahaha. Wine. Wine has a wonderful long history too.
