Twas the day before New Years
When I shed a few tears
Loaded up on CDs

Thanks Keggy. I was blasted on another forum for not knowing enough or wrongly diagnosing Aspergers or being mean, etc. etc.

The man is still my neighbor a few blocks away & we've remained...

Jeannie,

I'm also sorry to hear about your panic attack. But one does not a pattern make, OK? Keep up your postitive attitude because it was ONLY one.

WHY did it happen? Heat, exhaustion,...

Kathi,

Please don't wear yourself into the ground or you'll be no help to you or your mom or anyone else. Take care of YOU.

I've never heard of a 21-day Holter monitor, but that must be the...

I used to go to a cardiologist quarterly for decades. The routine was that every 3 months he would run a CBC, chem panel, several thyroid tests, digoxin level, and a few others. Now I don't know...

Hey Jeannie, how are you guys getting cooler weather this weekend??? We're headed for a record 103F tomorrow & that's the day of the big family wedding! It's so humid & soupy that I really really...

So now I have some little pretties to show off, but I haven't been keeping up w/ my garden, & in this sizzling weather, I doubt anyone could. Plus I haven't been keeping up w/ taking pix of my...

About the cataract surgery -- I'm THE resident expert! The surgery only takes about 20 minutes, but you're probably at the hospital for 3 or so hours. Very little pain. The fixed focal length...

Wow, Jeannie, those ARE a really hot color! :love-struck: I've never seen that option. Very yummy. But I do know that you can easily grow more from their seeds if you wait until the head is quite...

I've only seen the previews, but Stacey & Clinton are finally getting around to addressing & dressing a woman who uses a wheelchair. The episode will air next Tuesday, I believe, probably with...

Chris, you may be up & running 3 weeks post-op, but it will likely be in orthopedic shoes. They may cost, but they're a good investment in your feet for the rest of your life. Personally, I'm big...

Hahhaaha! :glee: Bad Bambi didn't exactly open the gate latch, it hopped over the gate & kicked it with its back legs as it landed on my front walkway, rattling the latch & popping the wood...

Is it all right if I try to adjust this to Limerick form? Bear with my poetic OCD, OK? :nevreness:

OK, that chicken poop remark gave me a good chuckle!

Jeannie, your plants are looking sooo fine! Very nice selection -- lots of unusual shapes & color combos. I want some! Some other color...

My question is: can this currently be used by doctors with their patients as an off-label use? If it's been on the market for years & the side effects are well known, why not? I hope patients can...

After all this time, I never posted that the allergist did his 40 + 40 skin tests & decided I was allergic to... NOTHING!!! Yeah, right. I had recently come off some serious prednisone for the eye...

I don't know if all people with PTSD have a stronger startle reaction, I just know I have it in spades, but it seems like I've always had it that way. I figure mine is a result of an overactive...

Hi Mike,

"Spending the Day in my Room" in Emotional Support Forum post #3 was where I couldn't get THANKS to work, but now I see that it has gone thru. It had disappeared while I was reading &...

Hi All,

I went to add my "thanks" to another's post, but my name did not show up & meanwhile the "thanks" option disappeared. I was able to post my own reply, but the "thanks" button was still...

Ging,

I'm so sorry to read about your situation. It sounds horrible & you have every right to be upset. Any sane person would be. Look around to see if you can find a support group live & in...

Phyllis,I'm so sorry that they didn't make any accommodations for some with a disability, especially a chair. It's too bad that they couldn't bend the rules a little bit so you could work with them....

OK, who has had triggerpoint shots from the rheumy? I just had my first set of 4 today to the trapezius area & now my upper back is hurting like hell! *fire I think she said it was "Depo" like I...

Imagine my surprise! There are fragrant yellow roses on the side arbor bush, and I cut a few last night to bring inside and admire. One bud is tinged w/ salmon at the edges. Today there are red...

Fer sure! :semi-twins: Old pick-ups are way worse than new ones because the drivers don't even care what happens to them, plus they know their bumpers are likely higher than yours! It's like...

Thanks, Jeannie, for your words of encouragement. :love_heart:

I must have been in quite a state when I wrote my post because I actually meant PICKUP TRUCK! You know, the everyday kind that all...

My dad was a GP who firmly believed in vitamin deficiencies & supplemetation. He got his MD in the 1940s, so had a different head-set. Almost all of his older patients came in for their B12 shots,...

I had a car accident in early December when a truck was blocking my 11 miles of two-lane back road. I came over a very small rise & there it was -- TRUCK! I did a 180 and spun into the ditch, still...

Thanks, Pati, but I'm still struggling. With both issues, but at least I get some tax money back I found out today.

There's a new study just coming out about CFS & the basal ganglia. They tested...

Sorry, I can't recall it, but my younger cousin must have been inspired by it and Snoopy. He'd wear a dry T-shirt or towel around his neck while water skiing & then try to blitz the rest of us. He...

I have MAJOR Depression, and I was DX'd in my early twenties. I'm in that "lucky" 20% for whom the antidepressants all stop working after a few years, and I have to find a different one. Yes,...

Hi Sara,

Welcome to BT. I've lived for periods of time in Brevard County, & basically the docs just said, "go to Miami if you want serious treatment". I'd urge you to drive the hour into the...

You can also qualify for a handicapped placard if you just can't walk very far or for very long for variety of reasons. But if it comes w/ a "this belongs to me" card, be sure to keep that in your...

The other thing about folks here on BT is that none of us can actually "see" the other person, we can only "hear" what you're posting & read btw/ the lines. The bottom line is that you don't seem...

His majesty adored chocolate mousse
Shared it with his pet goose
It was creamy and yummy
But the goose preferred crumby

I'm so sorry, Phyllis. At holiday time, I'd expect to be invited along with any other family member. That's why it's called FAMILY! :mad: Your sister's behavior stinks, but I can relate in terms of...

Actually, I thought you were gonna say that one landed in your plantER, not your plantAR! :friendly_wink:

The word mantra is said to come from a root meaning “that which protects the mind.” In Buddhist meditation, many things can be used as objects of concentration — as “mind protectors.”

I think the heating pad is from Thermaphore and costs $60-70 but lasts for years & covers your entire back. My cousins who have had plenty of back surgeries said their doc recommended it. You might...

The heated mattress pad sounds heavenly! I have a thick matress pad made of that pressure-sensitive foam whose name escapes me at this brain fog moment. But I also have a moist XL heating pad that...

I've been taking it for 20 years for sleep. I used to take it w/ Sinequan as the "sleep cocktail" recommended for CFS patients. When I finally got to an actual sleep doc & found out I had RLS, she...

I have one aunt left on each side of the family. I've been looking forward to visiting & chatting w/ the local one for over a month, esp. since I've gotten back into researching family history. I...

The lightning hit Jim's large antenna,
Put a kink in his love life with Enna,
Enna and Jim love thunder and lightning,
But sometimes it can be rather frightening

O Chris, I LOVE the shoes! They are fantastic! :applouse: But I wish I had thought of them... :blue: Maybe a pair for my mantle?

Short Q&A by the doc followed by some readers' questions and remarks. Sorry, I just...

Chris,

I think that might be considered the upper task or tool bar. Icons on right for house, star, and then screw/cog. That's "home", "favorites", and "tools". It's the bar w/ the < and >...

"Riot in Cell Block Number Nine" -- Blues Brothers version. Sorry I couldn't cut & paste from the Lyrics...

Lor,

I'm a Blues fanatic, so I'll try googling those key words to see if I can come up with a song title and maybe lyrics.

My pale lavender clematis aka Mailbox Plant has huge blooms on it while it's happy inside the screened-in porch wrapped in plastic. My own little hothouse. It's even had two major blooms! But now...

O wow. That weird little icon in the top right is a Screw??? Looks more like a stylized daisy to me... But when I hover over it, it does volunteer TOOLS! And when I right click, it does offer me...
