About Me
have pre-diabetes, osteoporosis, spinal stenosis, DJD and a host of other goodies. Lucky me, I am still alive after a bad case of Guillain Barre' and 6 horrible years of Polymalgia Rheumatica.., I have such bad GERD that I have to take 80 Mg of Nexium and 4 Zantac daily but I still love life and try to stay as healthy as possible. Prefer natural remedies as much as possible

Thanks for the words of advise Paula. I did tell him when we first started dating about it. Hopefully, he will remember, and also remember that he has issues that I have had to "deal" with. We all do. Thanks again.

Treatments
