Re: SARO....here is my information -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 49 yr old female

first thing I get is alittle excess weight, , and sometimes there is difficulty in breathing, like shortness of breathe. Blood pressure alittle elevated. I do NOT think it is a lung problem, more allergens or even stress related tension, effecting muscular activity, one being shallow breathing. (It could be fibromyalgia...but since I have that, I can't tell if it is you or me. I also feel a stiff neck.. like it feels like it needs "snapped" to release tension.

I get pains radiating from the waist area in the back, they seem to radiate down the siatic and `legs, and and at times even your arms and shoulders. I think there is a disk (disc) that is not broken ..but I see a picture of it "crumbly"....I don't know how else to describe it... then I see you could get comfort from a pillow supporting your back, and at night a pillow between your knees. I am seeing one leg...left I think, about an inch shorter ...like someone could wear a tiny support in a shoe that would even out (level up) the hips .

I am still getting shooting pains in my legs for you... the arthiritis is mainly in elbows ,knees, ankles.....actually ...typing is helping your joints.

I don't know what is wrong with your heart...but I think it is like CHF of something like Mytro-valve prolaspe or something like that. I feel fluids, that's what made me thinmk of CHF, but I also get a heaviness periodiaccally... I don't know what this means...so I am just telling you.

But I don't see open heart surgury .

I have never heard of "sponge kidney" so I can only tell you my feeling....I get a dull achy feeling, but feel more a full or pressure on the bladder. I am not picking up the kidney ailment...is this something that comes and goes? if so maybe you are in a "good" period.

I do have to tell you, I am feeling a "discomfort" in right breast...this usually is Spirit's way to tell you to check if it is time for a mammagram. This I will stress. I don't like to push anything that comes, but enough people have had "alerts" from these scans, and went on to have tests...and have found "problems" before they got unmanageable. I also have a pinch pain on the bottom of my right foot...remember I may be reversed.

that's all I get for now...does anything "fit"?

If NOTHING is you...it may be for someone close to you...

Oh...one last thing just now...I had that old familar rush of a Hot Flash... hehehhehe..and it wasn't "mine" !!!! Inner Connections mutter1 Mover and Shaker Posts: 132 (7/31/01 11:43:08 am) Reply | Edit | Del Community Supporter

Re: SARO....here is my information -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WOW, i`m amazed SARO! "does anything fit?".........uh, yes! all of it! until i came to this forum i had never even heard of body-scans. still don`t understand what they are.....but you certainly do have a 'gift' my friend!

ok, i`ll 'admit' [ugh! ] i am carrying a little excess weight. only about 15-20 extra though.

difficulty breathing.....oh yea. not all the time but i have a inhaler i have had to use alot lately. [they have COPD on my doc records folder...saw it once when they brought it into the room. but never have told me anything about it]

heart.....well, you couldn`t get much closer. have mitral 'regurge'...[leaking of the valve] and was diagnosed 9 yrs ago with left ventricular dysfunction. [cardiomyopathy] although my last cardiac cath came back good. lately though, [in last month or two] i have started haing trouble again with fluid retention, 'heaviness', etc/ so wonder if it is getting worse again?

now the stiff neck!...wow! i have what they call tortillus [sp?] hasn`t bothered me much the last few months but it started up again saturday and yesterday was so bad i could hardly stand it.

my LEGS!!!....oh yes, my friend. they hurt alot 'all' the time! have for several years. i hurt my lower back about 10 yrs ago while lifting a patient into the squad. [used to be a emt]...lower back [almost at the buttocks] and down the backs of my legs non stop. [makes for a 'cranky' babe sometimes]...and i always have a pillow behind my back when sitting and have started using a pillow between my knees this year!

i DO have a leg [left] slightly shorter than the other. has always made me look 'cocky' when i walk.a little 'swagger'..hehehe

LEGS again...yep! arthritis. and yes mainly in my knees, ankles and FEET..[don`t know how ya missed the feet...hehe they are the #1 killers for me] also hits my hands elbows shoulders..[not much else left is there ]

the kidney.....medulary sponge kidney is congenital. only on the left one. found out about it 4 yrs ago when they did testing on it. and yes it comes and goes...and have kidneys stones too. [not bothering me at this time]

now this one is freaky....you even picked up the pinching pain in the foot! it is the left one but you said it could be reversed. the last x-ray of my feet showed 'something' [look i go to a clinic because of not having insurance...you know how they are] but they didn`t know what it was and guess it doesn`t hurt them so they don`t care to find out and fix it eh?...hehehe

one more thing.......'those hot-falshes you were feeling when you did the scan WEREN`T yours!'..... [isn`t middle age wonderful?]

.........i do have another question though given this scanning.

about the warning of my breasts.....did/do you pick up anything more than you have said already about this? if you don`t think it should be said here you could email me. if you don`t have anything else on it i would like to know that too.

i`ll tell ya why later .....

thank yo so much for doing this SARO. i am sorry for any 'pain' i gave you during this reading. i carry quite a bit of pain around with me, as you now know, eh?

Re: SARO....here is my information -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you so much for the verifications. I never know if I am getting you or someone close to you.

and so far...so good..I carried none of your pain once I was done with you. ( )

what I got on the right breast, was pains right around the aureola (sp). Like there was congestion in the milk ducts. while scanning you, I had this "squeezing, shooting pains around the nipple....this is usally the was Spirit gets my attention ...like for a mammagram.

It could simply mean you are do...and I think one of my quides may be my gramma, that lost both of her breasts, so breasts are always broke to my attention, to keep up on self exams and mammagrams.

I don't know if maybe you may have already HAD a bout , and maybe lost a breast, or have one much smaller than the other....all I can do is tell you how I recieve things. now, if this doesn't address the quetion...PM me.

Re: SARO....here is my information -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- thank you SARO....i 'will' get an appointment for a mammy asap..[i`m a year late]

why i asked you was because after reading your post of my scan i decided i should do a self check...which i did. then while standing in front of the mirror, i found a 'mole' on the underside of the 'left' that is two toned and irregular in shape~!

ok, i`m going!! [but i don`t want any bad news! ]

btw: my mom is a 30 yr. survivor of breast cancer. so far i am free of it.......i think!? SAR01 ezOP Posts: 5067 (8/2/01 3:52:40 pm) Reply | Edit | Del Community Supporter

Re: SARO....here is my information -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am not sure, but skin "tags" are different then breast cancer... I am sure you are fine...Spirit just gives...strong "encouragements" . (this is so I precieve it correctly!
