New Dr.'s Visit - Results

Hi Sherry =) Well I thought it was sciatica pain too, but the chiropractor said no. He also said there is nothing he can see thats causing it. I saw him for a few corrections to help my hip, and thats all worked out. But this other thing has everyone stumped. I still have to have the x-ray done, and I guess if that doesn't show anything (what on earth it would show, I have NO idea) and my labs are normal, the next step is a neurologist. Thanks for the well wishes Michele

Here is the info I mentioned I would post. The following is from bariatriceating.com: There is a rule of thumb for protein grams... It is agreed upon by medical and health professionals that the body needs 1.25 grams of protein per kilogram of ideal bodyweight. DONT FREAK... as it is easy to figure. (it is ideal body weight and not current weight as fat tissue doesnt need protein, and this is not necessarily goal weight, as that tends to be an ideal 'too skinny' weight) Ideal weight divided by 2.2 Multiply by 1.25 So if you should weight 145... 145 divided by 2.2 is 66 times 1.25 equals 82 grams per day to maintain muscle mass if you are moderately active. This is from vitalady.com. I had asked her for her recommendations on what proximal RNY's should be taking, vitamin-wise, and this is the response I received: AM: 1- Vitamin C; 1- Polysaccharide Iron (or 6 chewable Tender Iron) Mid-day: 1- Vitamin A&D; 1- Vitamin B-12; 1- B Complex; 1-Vitamin E; 2- Calcium Citrate; 1- Multi Evening: 1- B Complex: 1- Vitamin E; 2- Calcium Citrate; 1- Multi; 1- Zinc Bed Time: 1- Vitamin C; 2- Calcium Citrate

Aw Michele, I'm so sorry you have having these problems and can't sleep on top of it. I have no sage words of advise, just a lot of hugs for my buddy in AZ. {{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}} Pat
