Thanks for the info. I couldn't find anything about a test either, but since the neurologist said there was one, I was trying to get info about it. Again, thanks for your reply....
Does anyone know if there is a test for Parkinson's? Maybe a spinal tap? I have tremors in my right hand, and just saw a neurologist who first wants to rule out a brain tumor, so I had an MRI on...
I used to be on Lexapro, and it is not for everybody. It does have serious side effects, as do most of these types of medicines. It may not be for you. Though I was on it for quite awhile, it really...
It sounds like your mother's situation is pretty serious. I agree with straydog that you can surf the net and drive yourself crazy. At this point if you are worried about the procedure, you should...
NiceCupOfTea is spot on in my book. There are two ways to look at it: work hard now and live after you've accomplished your goals, or have fun now and work later. I did it the first way and can...
It's not just sulfites, but most processed foods have all kinds of different bad stuff in them. While you may be tired of chicken, potatoes, or whatever, you will be much better off making as much as...
Don't stress. Lanie gives good advice. I only test mine once a week now, and it is always when I first get up - before I do anything. You can literally drive yourself crazy. When mine starts creeping...
I have been using stevia for 11 years, and have had no negative effects. I use it to bake sweet type desserts with, and in my tea, lemonade, etc. It is, according to my research, 20 times sweeter...
This may not be welcome here, but it is fact. I was able to work myself off of Lexapro and Klonopin with diet, exercise, several natural supplements and essential oils. While I won't go into...
Well Lanie, you have taught yourself well and are a great resource for all of us. My grandmother and aunts had diabetes. My mother was determined not to get it and she didn't with diet and exercise....
So true Lanie! Everyone is different. A good diet and some level of exercise will give you positive benefits, even if it doesn't completely control your blood sugar, it's still a good thing to do....
Yes, I did work my way out. Thank goodness I went to an Endocrinologist who didn't put me on medicine, but told me that I had two years to change my ways or there was nothing I could do. As I said, I...
I agree with Lanie G. I was diagnosed with diabetes 11 years ago (just above the legal limit, but diabetes none-the-less), which by the way I worked myself out of with diet and exercise. Diabetes...
I have had trouble staying asleep most of my life. Sometimes going to sleep too. I just tried a supplement that has chamomile, valerian root, melatonin and a few other ingredients, and it really...
I have read, in one study, that whole body vibration improves "balance, disability index, quality of life, fatigue, and pain" for fibromyalgia sufferers....
My experience says blood pressure can fluctuate a lot. My husband has had a blood pressure problem most of his life. He has white coat syndrome, so we can't rely on what it is at the doctor's office....
For as long as I can remember, I have had a low level of vitamin D. I have been taking 6,000 IUs for several years now, and am within the normal range. I have it checked each year with my wellness...
Several years ago, I was diagnosed with diabetes (just over the limit - but still diabetic). I fortunately had a doctor who told me to change my lifestyle, or there was nothing she could do for me in...
