      From Bobbee November 26, 2008

      They say that laughter is the best medicine. I have a few tv shows that make me laugh - or at least smile - that I try to watch. It is a nice 30 minute break from reality. I hope that you are feeling all right and that you have a nice week. God bless.

      From Bobbee November 23, 2008

      Thank you for reaching out. I really appreciate the encouragement. It has been very hard but there are some good moments. Sadly, we are ruined financially and neither of us is healthy. I am hoping we can keep our home or find another one. It is a scary thing. It looks like you've had some serious physical problems as well. I am sorry and I hope that things improve for you. I hope you have a good week and that your trip goes smoothly. Again, thank you.

    • Open Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis

      After many rounds of bladder infection, taking antibiotics I devloped C. Difficile..was in hospital for 12 days. C. diff. caused organ damage including kidney, heart and lung...most of that damage has repaired itself since 11/06 but will be tested soon to see if I need a heart pacemaker. I learned to be VERY careful about taking antibiotics..C. diff. can be very serious. Evie

      Treatments

      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked

    • Open Interstitial Cystitis (IC)

      Have had many years of IC needed antibiotics every few months. after a bladder exam a year ago and prescibed tiny amount of premarin 2 times a week I am much better. I have a small constriction in bladder neck that neds the hormones. Also am Celiac, sem to go together + food allergies. Need lots of water too.

    • Open Sciatica

      I have had sciatica problems off and on for a long, long time. Started when I used to be on my feet at work on cement floors. Adjustments by Osteopath, not walking on soft surface,sitting up straight, heat, rest, taking walks on hard surface and rubbing on arthritis cream have helped. I also fell over a log that injured the calf of my leg made situation worse. I have used tylenol when was bad. sometimes mine extends from left side of lower spine to aech of left foot. I am better now!! Evie

      Treatments

      Stretching Somewhat Helpful
      Mainly leaning against wall/ feet 12 inches back, good for muscles all over too.
    • Open Alzheimer's Disease

      My husband has had dementia for many years..he had frontal lobe damage in 1985..it maybe his problems are from that. he is on his 3rd medication and his nuerologist put him on namenda over a year ago. Dr. is quite pleased/ his progress on it. He is still capable of doing many chores, including cooking & helping me. Dr. only uses diagnosis of dementia, anyone else have situation of this illness over 23 years?
