Well, I'm afraid the plane ticket you'd have to purchase would far exceed the cost of your tomatoes :) How about just going to the local farmer's market instead...it'll be a whole lot cheaper that...
Yes, I've read it twice. It was given as a gift from one of my college professors who felt it might offer me an opportunity to better understand this condition we all share. I have eliminated much of...
I worked in both a retirement home, and a nursing home; both for six years. Then after taking some time off I found myself doing home-health care on a private basis. Before moving to AK, I was in AZ...
Dearest Shirley, You're right, it would run too long now wouldn't it... I'm so sorry for all that you are finding yourself going through, but please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers...
Hara, two things immediately come to mind; a good neurologist will perform the necessary tests, and yes, it hurts, before diagnosing you with neuropathy in your feet and ankles...I know...been there,...
Welcome to the best game in town. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Got something on your mind, someone's here to listen, love, and learn....
Okay, I've got to have one of the largest, if not the heaviest iron skillets this side of the Mississippi, but, and this is a big but :) I'm afraid I won't be able to lend it to you for very long....
I'm thinking of you, hoping you're given the answers you so desperatly need....
Thank you so very much for the beautiful, and uplifting words of wisdom....
All the time now (LOL) As a writer and artist, I find myself spending more time correcting (typos) or trying to thread a needle than ever. Sometimes it's as if I were blindfolded...lol...
You must have been reading my mind Robin, as yours were the exact words I used yesterday when I was speaking with my younger sister, who thought to ask how I was doing. She's in MD and me, AK, and we...
Boy, it's good to know that I'm not the only one out there whose smacked themselves around (LOL) Next time, duck! AKMamaBear...
Bravo!!! Thank you for bringing a brillant ray of sunshine to my otherwise stormy day. AKMamaBear...
It'll be nearly a year next week that I was first introduced to the C-Pap machine, and for the love of Mike it took me nearly six months and 7 masks before I finally found one I could tolerate. At...
I'm so sorry for all you've found yourself going through. Of course, you are in my thoughts. AKMamaBear...
Rant away! Sometimes it's all we have left. I do hope the sun has come to shine on you, if only to brighten you day. AKMamaBear...
Here's an idea...and I'm only saying this because I believe we've all experienced what you're going through right now, in fact, I'm doing it too" she says with a hint of sarcasm. How about we pitch a...
Hi, and hopefully you might think this is worth a try. Like you, there are a fair number of medications that I simply cannot tolerate, including most OTC sleep aids, but I am able to take a natural...
Yes, I used to occasionally experience vertigo, and lately its been occuring much more frequently. It seems we also share another common denominator, as my doctor has decided to repeat an MRI, yes,...
I'm glad your appointment went as well as it did. Like you, my fear of dentists goes way beyond the norm; so much so that I waited literally years before finding one that would both listen and serve...
You bet. Being as hyper-sensative as I am to most medications, my doctor and I have to keep a very close eye on me. I was on the Tramadol for all of three weeks before I developed every side-effect...
Oh, I can see I've got some competition. I like it, I like it. That was good :) Thank you so much for the gift of laughter. AK MamaBear...
Good Afternoon, I realize every now & then things get tough. Okay, so I was being nice, and though not to use those four-letter words you were thinking. Yeah, you know the ones! And yes, for...
Dear Livenlaugh, One of the 'tools' I've found that works for me, especially when my legs decide they're at the end of someone else's puppet strings, is to place a standard sized, firm pillow between...
Hello Sonny Boy, Being a fairly new member myself, I wanted to say it's a pleasure to welcome you to the "Fibro-family". Seems I've been, let's say, bragging to my husband about this forum and how...
Dear Nice Guy, Maybe I'm way outta line, and while I'm known for my words, I've decided to use as few as possible, believing them unecessary; you've had plenty from many more than I. And while I'm...
Funny, I was going to ask about the BRA issue and how many of you were dealing (or not) with it. I've had three professional fittings, and still I find no relief until the thing comes off! Most times...
Dear Smurfy, The next time I think I'm having a bad day, PLEASE, feel free to slap me silly. TWICE. In fact, three times, if you think it's necessary. :) Gentle thoughts from my heart to yours, AK...
Hello, and thank you so very much for being here, for having this forum, and for letting me know I'm not as alone as I feel. For the past 18 months I've been trying, without much success, to cope...
