[DEE]

Thanks guys
Sangye no both roots still in gum plus two others need to come out as cant be saved but my dentist says it to risky to do at the dental surgery
it made choosing from a fantastic buffet at a party i went to on saturday night very interesting

I hope your Wegs doc can push it faster. From a Wegs perspective, having untreated tooth issues like that stress the immune system and also raise the chances of developing infection. I wonder if that's part of the trouble they're having getting your Wegs under control, actually.

nothing would suprise me Sangye , will let you know after thurs
i hear what you are saying and im worried about picking up any kind of infection before i get my cataract done

Hey
Update from me...i have an appointment with Addenbrooks!!
For January 2011 but hey its better than nothing. lol

Dunno whats wrong with me this week. Feeling very fatigued. Lost all my zest. Have to push myself to do the littlest things. Hoping its just a winter thing and not the Wegs. But it most likely is.

Anyone got some tips on boosting my energy levels without resorting to sugar, lol.

That's great news!

I have the same problem with the fatigue, it's horrible! The only thing I can suggest is to make sure you eat good meals and good snacks. Make sure you get a good, filling, slow-energy releasing brekkie, lunch and dinner! I have porrige in the morning, salad with ham or chicken for lunch with some nuts and stuff for snacks and then a nice dinner
Other than that, try to have a mid-day nap is possible, although it doesn't work for me (makes me feel even more tired) I know it works for others.

Take care!

(ps. I havn't abandoned the forum, just busy with work and sorting things out for x-mas!)

Great news about the appointment. Perhaps you will now receive the treatment you need.

A sudden lack of energy worries me a little. Perhaps you should ask your GP to test urine for Protein and Creatinine just to make sure. It is only a dip test and you could even do it yourself.

Interesting... what could/does a dip test show?

Hey

Great News Sam!!

[Jack]

The tests I was referring to are to check for kidney problems. Because of my own background it is something I always worry about and they are so simple that there is little reason not to do them.
Kidney problems show very few symptoms, but lack of energy is one of them. However, with Wegener's, lack of energy is always a problem anyway.
I'm about to take an hour's nap myself now!

[Sangye]

Sam, I agree with Jack. A sudden dip in energy has always indicated trouble for me. I suggest routine blood work with comparison to your prior reports, in addition to the urine dip.

Glad to hear you're going to Addenbrooke's. Hooray for THAT!
