Boy of Boy, it's soooo nice to see Tammy, Candice and meme here today, and Migo, welcome to our thread. Of course, it's nice to see Mima, Kate and Joanne as well
Mima - sounds like you are getting it together. It is darn hot where you are. So far, we are 30 degrees BELOW the normal temp. for this time of year. We are hovering around 36 degrees only. There is some kind of pressure system that isn't moving, that is sitting over us. Somebody give it a BOOT!
Meme - Well, you have been busy as usual. Hope your daughter gets better soon. Every now and then, I need a break from the computer as well. Just don't want to be on the thing.
Candice - That study showed that Premarin caused people to have heart problems - 875 women and something like 9 had heart problems. They said it was from Premarin. I say, these same women could have had heart problems in any case, and I want to live while I'm alive! I think it was the Progesterone that was the problem as well. If you don't have a uterus you don't need to take that. I know people that have taken Premarin for 30 years or better and they don't have heart, or stroke problems at all. So, I say, if you need it to feel well, then take it.
I went to the Foot Dr. this morning to have the Orthodics checked. He said this was a starting point, and he has not ruled out surgery. Need to go back when I come back from our trip to Denmark. Then we will see how it is. Right now, it is still quite painful and it sure does interfer with walking.
Tammy - sounds like that was a nice day. We don't have that Pizza place here, so I don't know what I am missing
Slow down a bit, as you don't want to end up with a lot of pain.
Kate - WooHoo, out spending money! I did that this morning. Bought some stuff to take on holidays. I am now all set. Telephones can be a real pain, when you want to rest.
Joanne - ambiitous one, making curtains. A pop of color is nice in a room. I want a new duvet cover, but I will wait until June before I buy one. I might see one in Denmark that I like.
Migo - Good advice. Anytime you can give up sugar, but even worse, I think, is aspertame and Splenda, as they are chemicals. My body doesn't take well to either of those. Sugarless gum is another one I don't do well with, because of the Sorbital and Manitol in them. They can do a number on the intestine and cause like an IBS thingy. Eat clean, and move. If you can't walk, then do some stretching - gently. I have found great relief for my symptoms with an Upper Cervical Chiropractor.
www.nucca.org if you want to read about them. Also, google AXIS and you will find info on a fellow from Los Angeles that travels around the USA and does a one time treatment on the AXIS. On a FM site I went to, thse people were having good results. I think a lot of FM pain come from spine - I know mine does. So many of us have bad backs and necks etc.
Well another book. Hope you all have a good day.
