----------------------------------------------------------- From: mommyof8 Message 2 in Discussion Hi Linny, I'm sorry for what you are going through. I am on Sandostatin 3x a day. My endo wanted me to go on the LAR but I said no. I know that people think I'm crazy but I would much rather stick myself with that tiny needle on a daily basis because it's working for me and I don't want to change what is working. However, in your case, it seems that what you are doing isn't working and maybe you need to insist that they try something else. I can give you a bit of information that might be of help. I've posted it on this site before but I'm not sure where it is. My family doctor told me that when you are on Sandostatin, your body needs a supplement of CoEnzyme Q10 (a good quality brand from a health food store). I'm not sure if our body stops producing it or if we just don't have enough of it. Whatever the case, I asked my endo about it and he concurred with my family doc. I have consistently taken the supplement since starting the Sandostatin and I am not having any side effects. It is definitely worth a try for you. The Q10 will not hurt you in any way. If you want more info, I will get it from my doctor and pass it along to you. Take care, Alene ----------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this e-mail, or change how often it arrives, go to your E-mail Settings. http://groups.msn.com/PituitaryChat/_emailsettings.msnw Need help?
