Pamy, I was thinking the flu could be a blessing in disguise. You could be too sick to even smoke the habit cigs.

{{{Pamy}}} Mame.. hope you get a really good rheumatologist.. I went to one, but just twice, since most of my problems weren't really in his bailiwick.. but what a lovely man.. really took his time, was a keen observer of all of me, studied various tests I had brought with me (full body scan, bone scans, blood work) did different bloodwork, referred me to a neurologist, had an abdominal ultrasound done, 'splained everything. Not that I WANT something that he'd work on, but what a good doctor.. And yes, bring in all your meds, vitamins, supplements, herbs.. ALL of it

Everyone has a great Holiday <if you're US>. Remember to NOT stress yourselves out. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! Pamy, are you doing any better? {{{{{Pamy}}}}} I don't 'do' doctors very well, and today, I walked out of the dermatologist's office. I, basically, got the rest of the info I needed and left. He started talking about all these 'new' drugs and so on and so forth. Told him to look at my chart and count the allergies. Well, uhm, yes, those could be a problem...NO SHIT, Sherlock! What I dislike so much...doctors don't know you anymore, they make decisions without even looking into your history and god forbid, ANY doctor has the 'time' to listen! Cattle, in the Stockyard waiting for slaughter, get more respect! I'm so angry and am having my own little pity party. I'll be fine later, but BLECH! Don't need no stinkin' doctors!

I hear ya, Kstme. I had my first twelve year old doctor about six years ago. It was a real eye-opener. We have a friend who is a doctor. He is just a tad older than us. He is not OUR doctor, but I sometimes think we should consider it. Quite by coincidence, he IS our next door neighbor's doctor, has been for many years before we knew either of them. He is totally dedicated to his craft. We went to doctors (dentists) both yesterday and today. We have just arrived in South Texas for the winter. Bigdog likes to have a medical crisis any time we go somewhere new. We still don't know what this one is. Not a dental problem, perhaps neurological. Probably a pimple or ingrown hair. Bigdog is an unusual man in that he wants every little symptom looked at. I guess I would prefer that to the opposite that some folks here talk about. Sigh ... Have I mentioned lately that Bigdog's Momma is 103.5 and lives alone in the woods in Arkansas, fights a bear before breakfast?

Cattle, in the Stockyard waiting for slaughter, get more respect! I hear ya Kstme. BOY could I go on about this, too. Pehaps one of my 'favorites' was when I was running a 100 degree fever for weeks for no apparent reason (other than my health was falling apart). My primary dr of 10 years said 'maybe it's your normal temperature.' I had to tell him to look at my friggin chart! There's something wrong with me - I'm paying ya to figure it out!!! sheesh ((((FFF to all))))

I just found a paragraph in my book on The New Silver Solution regarding fibromyalgia. "In order to informally test this theory, one researcger donated a bottle of the New Silver Solution to a young woman suffering from fibromyallgia, which causes a painful swelling in the joints and also the muscle tissue. She repoerted that after using one teaspoon per day for one week, shw was able to reduce her joint pain medication by 90%. She claimed that almost all the swelling was gone from the joints and also that her rnergy level had dramatically improved." I'm not sure what they mean by tsp as I was told not to use metal utensils and avoid chlorinated water within 20 minutes of use. This is the brand they're talking about. http://www.ariaorange.com/aria-silver.html

many fibro and allergy MCS sufferers have metal toxicity. I wonder how taken more Metal into the body helps. I often wish that there was a real Chemical explanation given. When Placebo effect is often 50-75%, it is almost impossible to figure out WHY a sugar pill would work! Too bad placebo didnt work for me. I'd be exstatic if something worked...i would care what it was LOL

I dont know if its because I stopped smoking (YAH ME!) or because I moved to another area at work, or the corlean/calm stuff is working but I havent felt this good in years!!! by 730pm my body is usually exhausted but lately I have more energy, look what I was doing after 9pm a couple days ago! a month ago I would have been laying in bed with extreme pain at 9pm
