Sharmin, if possible ask about the

1- effiency of DEXA at young age
2- suitable anticoagulants that can be given to children rather than asprin,since it shouldn't e given to children and teens. Vitamin E is mainly an antioxidant, but also has the ability to thinner the blood, so would this be enough or there would be a better anticogulante


Thanks dear

The list of questions is below.  I will do my best to get answers. 

1. is fetal hg less efficient for growing children than adult hg?

2. do fetal hg inducers trigger unwanted functions?

3. L-carnitine - what is the opinion on its usage

4. pulmonary hypertension - who is at risk, how to manage risk - NO inducers?  L-carnitine, citrilline

5. vitamin C with exjade, vitamin C when not using desferal

6. what is treatment for post splenectomy non transfusing alpha/beta thals? anything other than anticoagulants required?

7. have exjade/L1 been used in combination? 

8. magnesium, bilirubin and gall bladder stones

9. Patients with PKU

10.   effiency of DEXA at young age
11.   suitable anticoagulants that can be given to children rather than asprin,since it shouldn't e given to children and teens. Vitamin E is mainly an antioxidant, but also has the ability to thinner the blood, so would this be enough or there would be a better anticogulante

PKD stands also for polycystic kidney disease...... Pretty confusing!

Friends, we're in San Francisco.  Our appts are tomorrow, your prayers are needed.  I hope it will go well.

I am so glad that Umair is well, I have been really concerned.  I hope Zainab is better too now - my wishes are with you all. 

Thanks Andy for showing us the way.  Any improvementsmy son makes, we owe it all to you.

Hi Sis ,

wish you all the best  ,, take care


Best Regards
Umair
Sometimes , God breaks our spirit to save our soul.
Sometimes , He breaks our heart to make us whole.
Sometimes , He sends us pain so we can be stronger.
Sometimes , He sends us failure so we can be humble.
Sometimes , He sends us illness so we can take better care of our selves.
Sometimes , He takes everything away from us so we can learn the value of everything we have.

Hi Sharmin,

Have a nice time there (despite the appts) and I hope all will go well. I got my appt with the hemo tomorrow as well. To use a Dutch saying "We're (almost) in the same boat".  :hugfriend

Dore, best of luck with your appt!


We have completed our first day of tests and appts. 
Good news - SQUID results - LIC = 1545  - down from 2880 July/08. 
The docs were impressed. 

Lots more to come later - we are exhausted and hungry!!
