Avatar f tn Just thought I would let you all know for future reference if there are any sufferers in NZ, that I saw Dr Andrew Law yesterday, and found him to be excellent in every way. He has a good understanding of Chiari, Syrinx, Spina Bifida, amongst other things and was very helpful to me. He's very experienced (I did some homework!) and a really down to earth guy who takes a patient seriously.
Avatar n tn We have had several members from NZ....not sure if ne are still active right now...we have had clintsmum, and a few others.....I can only recall her name right now...sorry, but if u use the search this community feature u should be able to put in the topic to locate older threads on the topic of location and see if they r still active....they may troll and see this too...
Avatar m tn Thanks Doc I appreciate your reassuring information. I am unsure if the NZ tests are duo's as such and many NZ medical professionals seem to think you need to wait 4 weeks but I rang a lab pathologist and he said the blood tests do have a p24 antigen component. 1. Do you know what tests NZ uses? 2. I am concerned because I had a stomach illness starting two days before I had the test, until a couple of days after. If this was ARS, would the antigen, or the antibody tests show positive??
268911 tn?1213744781 I have heard bad things about 5-HTP. The health food store I go to won't even sell it. I guess some are having bad experiences with it. Valerian root is good for relaxation and sleep. And I know they have sleep blends with valerian root and other extracts in them that are suppose to work really well. Good luck!
648439 tn?1225058862 I treated for 27 weeks and was told by my doctor that I could stop treatment early because my symptoms and response indicated this was a good option for me.I treated with 1200 Riba daily and 180 mg interferon weekly with Pegasus. I was cured with this short treatment. I live in NZ and the doctors here allow patients to stop if they fulfill the strictest criteria for stopping early. It worked for me, so good luck to those of you who are considering the same option.
Avatar n tn After this episode I have been worrying about it and I had some systems from the day 1. the symptoms like body pains,burning legs, mild fever,weakness,cold etc. it has been one week now. I still have these symptoms intermittently. I cannot sleep properly worrying about this.. I checked with the message center manager this week if that girl had HIV. The manager told some details: that girl/lady is from hong kong and she came to NZ 6 weeks back or so.
Avatar f tn I'm almost 7 weeks and I've wondered if my symptoms are too light. I'm starting to feel sick every day and I'm peeing a ton!

Avatar f tn Jan 2005 to April 2005 crashed into deep depression and anxiety but with all the Thyroid symptoms as well, Hot, exhausted, hair loss, shaking, headaches, feeling very very ill and then to boot developed OCD. ( i must add though still managed to work through all of these episodes). Went to Endo praying it must be Graves again. No!!! Bloods are normal - T4 13.8, T3 ? Tsh 0.8. Felt suicidal..... didnt know where to turn, For first time Endo said it was all psychological.
Avatar f tn this may be signs of endometriosis, As many as 1 in 5 woman in nz have it without knowing. It can vary in from mild (no symptoms) to severe. def go to docter to check it out.
Avatar m tn This is my second post here. I have just found that there is a direct link between SSRI drugs and lack of REM sleep. I cant get out of bed in the morning and am always not getting into REM sleep until like 6 or 7 am. I also cant fall asleep at night despite taking a sleeping pill. This article says that both the lack of REM sleep and difficulty falling asleep. So basically the drug that is treating my depression is ruining my sleep.
Avatar f tn Hi Robyn...PM (private message) a member clintsmum....she is in NZ and is a big advocate for chiari awareness. She is not real active on the forum, but does keep in contact if u send her a message.
Avatar m tn He lives on the Gold Coast, Australia, Im in NZ and want to know what to suggest. He will try get a doctors apt but its kinda urgent and being a new NZ person working in Aust, it may cost him hundreds of $ to even see a doctor…can he get a treatment over the counter in Aust?
Avatar n tn Hi... I had a protected sex with a girl in Massage Parlour in NZ. Here in NZ, parlours offer safe sex. So we have protected varginal sex for about 5 min. There was no kissing at all with the girl. Then I left the place. After that I have been fearing to get some STD's like HIV, Chlamydia etc from that single encounter. Please help me regarding this. . . . I am quite worried these days . . .
4460811 tn?1355471314 Im 24 and 18/4 due 7th June with my first. Just wondering if anyone else is from NZ as ive only been living here a few months and maternity care is all totally different from the UK.
Avatar f tn My granddaughter (10) has just been diagnosed with SVT. (No treatment as yet). She was due to fly to the UK from NZ for Xmas to stay with her Dad. Her Mum NZ resident now says she can't fly. Is SVT a bar to flying in children? Other than these two episodes she is well and no other known underlying medical conditions. She would be flying with me and I am a registered nurse.
Avatar n tn m now wondering if perhaps my symptoms are due to depression or are perhaps exacerbated because of depression. My question is can depression be a purely physical disease? In other words, can one have depression without feeling 'sad' emotionally? I've always been a happy, optimistic person. I have no other major stressors in my life, aside from my present illness. I'm a 30 y/o male with no history of any serious illness. I'm in good shape and have a good social life.
Avatar f tn Just wanted to express my sympathy to our NZ friends after the second blast at Pike River Mine today, which ended any hope of finding the trapped 29 miners alive. My heart goes out to you guys.....
Avatar n tn Doctors here in NZ dish out tramadol like lollies 'instead' of opiates. Reading the posts here I am shocked to see it's just as nasty as coming off opiates...if not worse! I wonder when NZ will realise this...?
