Learning guitar and music theory. I like an unexpected breath of fresh air. A new song, some art work or a different point of view.

Forgiveness is a word that is seldom used in the Buddhist writings that I have come across. Actually, I can't remember ever seeing the word. Or …

Austerity is being austere. Frugile in action, thoughts and words. I am seeing it clearer now.
I WILL not drink any sodas today.

Close Degenerative Joint Disease
I was recently diagnosed with DJD at the neck, even though it has apparently been progressing for a number of years. The DJD was probably set off by an accident in 1998. My main concern with my condition is staying employed. My doctor said that physical therapy will not help in my case. I am waiting on results related to IG bleeding before medication is prescribed.
Treatments
- Naproxen Somewhat Helpful
- My doctor said to stop taking Naproxen until we evaluate IG bleeding.
Close GERD & Heartburn
I was diagnosed with GERD about a year ago. Some medications seem to keep it from getting worse, but it's not getting better. So I want to find out more about it.
Treatments
- Aciphex Somewhat Helpful
- I think it has helped slow the progress of GERD, but I want (need) to get better.
- Antacids Somewhat Helpful
- Only for quick rerief, and then it does not always work
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Not Working
- I can't see to kick the soda habit.
Open Healthy Eating
I need to eat healthier for a number of reasons. I am dis-appointed that the FDA Guidelines and Nutrition Books give the "ABC's" but not enough information and/or not organized so a hard working person can find what they need to know.
Treatments
- Physical Exercise Not Working
- I have a neck injury. Exercise, even swimming (yes--even swimming) aggravates the neck. Then I need anti-inflamatories, then the stomach problems. I can't win.
Open ADHD / ADD
Interested in finding out what ADHD stands for. I might have ADD. I have trouble reading long paragraphs and skip ahead.
Open Insomnia
Treatments
- Ambien Working / Worked
- I tried the regular Ambien (not CR). I had a terrible time waking up in the morning.
- Meditation Not Working
- It works only during the day when I don't want to go to sleep.
- Sonata Not Working
- Like I told my doctor. It was fun, but did not put me to sleep.
