Topic: RE: Hair Loss---HELP!
I might just try to wait and see what happens within the next month and not invest in the Nioxin.  However, I am going to increase my protein intake and see if that help.  Thank you

I tried nioxin and it didn't help.  It was $45 for the starter kit.  I found out about a month ago I was only taking half of the amount of vitamins as I was supposed to take.  I doubled my vitamins and upped my protein intake and it seems to be helping (also I am very close to my 6month mark and they say you should start seeing less hair loss).

Topic: RE: 2nd Annual Patient Reunion
Jeannie,
You should have recieved a confirmation letter in the mail when you registered? However you may park free of charge in the parking garage. Saint Elizabeth is about 2 blocks South of "O" street at 70th and O. Come into the 1st floor enterance and follow the signs for See it, Believe it, Achieve it! You will end up on the lower level of the hospital and will see all the activity. Again if you follow the signage you will easily find it. We will be located in the Rose/Franciscan rooms. If you get lost there are greeters that would be glad to direct you:) I am looking forward to meeting you and appreciate your support and attendance. I hope you will enjoy the reunion! See you Sat!

Topic: RE: One year check up
Barb,  I have had this happen twice and had to go back to the clinic once and the ER once because I ended up dehydrated.  It is a learning process, isn't it?

Topic: RE: Anyone banded by Dr. R Armour Forse in Omaha?
Cami- I understand completely.  I started off with seeing Dr Sudan, then they pushed me over to Dr Wright.  By the time I completed my 6 months diet mgmt with my PCP and Dietician, both of them had left to practice on the East Coast.  They told me Dr Force would take over.  Then their dietician quit and I couldn't get ahold of the office, apparently they left also.  At that point I freaked out and went looking for a new surgeon.  I'm going to St Elizabeth's Hospital in Lincoln and using Dr Tadducci.  I'm hoping to have my surgery before the end of the year.  I hope they get their(Creighton) program straightened out soon.  I would hate to think I had a problem and couldn't get ahold of someone.  I live in Hastings, good luck-Cheri
