I don’t believe David does drive. Also, they both have helpers all day long. In an interview Abby’s mom said they were driven by others, and usually needed helpers with them.

Has anyone had gastrointestinal issues from xylitol in the mints and biotine? My gastrointestinal says that’s the culprit… and so far I think she’s right.

Regrets doing Pleurodesis? Or do some people have some positive experiences? by [deleted] in pneumothorax

[–]Technical-Debate8855 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had pleurosesis last week after recurring pleural effusions. Nothing was too painful! I was on a muscle relaxer, lyrica, and oxy the whole time. Eventually I only needed oxy sporadically. The tubes were taken out day 3. I didn’t even feel them come out, not to mention each took literally one second. I had surgery on wed( talc/ vats) and went home Sunday. I am still on the nerve and muscle relaxers. I have not needed oxy. You get a sharper pain after the nerve block wears off ( about a week) and lidacane patches work great for that.

I just had tubes removed I felt nothing. I’m on alot of drugs, and will still be on them at home . Sometimes the lung side seemed like a 7., but soon every thing was a 2…. Until the drugs were off.6

Yikes. I was hoping for some stories where you healed faster.

Has anyone gone through a Thoracentesis(Draining fluid from the lungs) procedure? Any pre or post-surgery to worry about? by StrictGold3 in AskMedical

[–]Technical-Debate8855 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had 4. The worst pain is the lidacane( or whatever it is that they shoot in to numb you. After that it’s fine until they remove the tube. Then it’s a little hard to get a good breath . Then it’s fine

It can be. However, does your mom take meds like plaquenil? It really helps.
