Guest guest Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Hi, I'm a firefighter/paramedic and have been for 6 yrs.I can only type in a medical signs and symptoms format so please bear with me. The pt is my wife. Pt is 5'7 " (aprox 67 " ) and is aprox. 230-240# or 105- 109 Kg. and a medium frame. 30 y/o female with an increased peripheral edema & decreased urine flow. On set of aprox. 9 yrs (both have progressed over time). The conditions follow the birth of our first son. Prior to the pregnancy of our first son she had no med. hx at all. My wife went into early labor (a week early 39/40 weeks). The ob/gyn wanted to have my wife not deliver over the weekend ( while he went out of town) The Dr. admitted her to the labor and delivery unit and placed her on Mag. sulfate. To make a long story short over the course of the next day Sat. she started seriously dilating and contractions came on heavier. The Mag. Sulfate was increased to triturated for the contractions By the time the Dr. arrived Mon. A.M. I had to spoon-feed my wife her meals. Later found out this is called Mag. Sulfate Toxicity, with side effects of CHF. Among others. We went on to have a set of twins 17 months later. Now she has very decreased urine out-put despite the amount of oral fluids. Also the very noticeable peripheral edema. Hx: Dx: Hypothyroidisum (Corrected with 6 months of meds.), Total hysterectomy 3 1/2 yrs ago. and secondary to severe menst. Cramping (sever adhesions discovered around the intestines and uterus), pt also presents with diet controlled diabetic symptoms (never dx as diabetic however). Rx: none Allergies to meds: Codeine, Black cohosh My Questions is as follows: I know a nephrologist consult should be in order however she wants to try a natural remedy first. Any suggestions would be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Ricky, I don't know if we have any nephrologists in the group, most of us are just generally into healthy living with a few tricks up our sleeves. There is a big difference between just building health, and treating serious disease. I sincerely believe that you need to get a proper diagnosis before we dare speak up on this one. Sorry!

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Has she has her kidney's checked for damage from the toxicity of that drug. AS far as her OB-GYN, he should be horse whipped for what he did. If she has kidney damage that can't be healed holistically then you may have a real problem. If it were me I would have a kidney check and if that shows no damage then go the holistic route. No more meds they are toxic anyway. Goodluck.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Hi Ricky, I have some ideas for you but rather than copy and paste from my documents, it would be a lot easier for me to email you them to you in attachment form. Too much for me to write here. Does her skin look healthy? Has the skin tone changed at all? What kind of diet is she on. The standard diabetic diet is very high in protein which will irritate kidneys.
