I am iron deficient concerned about the side effects of taking Ferro Grad C

Posted on by — 5 Comments ↓

I am very concerned about the side effects of taking Ferro Grad C (Containing Ferrous Sulfate + Sodium Ascorbate. I have a test result from my physician and they indicate a below normal level of Iron ‘ so he said I am iron deficient. I am taking one tablet every second day, on the third day I decided to not take it, I notice I felt light headed and as though I just came off an antidepressant, is this normal. I am eating meat three times a week; I have a gluten intolerance problem which I was diagnosed with, which may have been a contributing factor in becoming low in iron, and I lead a busy life. I would appreciate your advice and a second opinion to support my recovery process. Most of my life I haven’t taken any medication, except to treat inflammation in my bowl. Thank you.

I had wrist surgery it was the biggest mistake of my life?

Posted on by — 7 Comments ↓

I made an operation to the wrist, where they made me a fusion of four corners, and they removed the scaphoid. This surgery was the biggest mistake of my life, I could live with the pain I had, now I have pain all the time, the wrist movement is close to 10%, more than that is always pain. Before surgery I was promised that I would not have any pain, although I would lose 50% of the movement, and that recovery would be between 2 to 5 months. The results I had was pain always, and I lost about 90% of the movement. I’m a cook, obviously I need more wrist movement. My question is what are the solutions to my problem, and if there is any expert who is specialized in this problem. I wonder if there is a possibility of reversing this fusion of four corners.

My eldest daughter is suffering excruciating pain, need second opinion?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

My eldest daughter, she is 16 years. Last year (2015 December) she was having pain at the right back of her neck. I took her to Dr. Dr. told that it is an allergic or cold problem. He prescribed antibiotics. Then she was ok for about 3 months. After 3 months the same area was paining and a lump can be seen like tumour. I took her to a renowned Dr. He said, may be it’s an allergic problem and gave some blood test n FNAC test. The reports were normal. Dr. prescribed her medicines, which helped her to be ok for another one n half month. Again it started paining and this time it was unbearable. Surprisingly, I saw 4 more lumps at the right and left side of her neck. Her spinal chord started paining n she was having a bit fever. Immediately I took her to Dr. This time we did her FNAC again and some blood test, but result nothing. Again and again we r going to different Dr’s, tests, medicines but no improvement. One of the Dr. told to do biopsy. Then we consulted a neurosurgeon but he told that its a sensitive area to operate. He needs time for it n gave medicines.

Finally in the end of December I took her to India (New Delhi). There we appointed a medicine Dr. He gave tests. In the reports he found a huge deficiency of vitamin D. After that we consult a neorology Dr. He gave for MRI test. In the report ARACHNOID CYST can be found. He gave 6 months medicine. Now my daughter’s spinal chord and the lump is paining. My daughter is now screaming out of pain. As a mother it’s very painful to see my daughter in this condition. Please, please n please help me out. Help my daughter. Suggest us something. I am attaching the reports n prescription. I will be grateful to you dr. If u can suggest us anything.

Chest pressure, stabbing pain off and on to the right of my navel when walking and driving. Urine that smells like poop, frequent urination, abdominal heaviness, can not get in a comfortable position when sitting, fatigue, weakness, extremely low vit. D, slow healing with bruises, like the one I got from getting my blood drawn and its been 3 months. Always feel that I have a lump in my throat.
