    • About Me

      I write for a living, have a small but moderately close family, am a devout atheist and am passionately interested in the health and happiness of my delicious granddaughter, who invited me to join her here on Daily Strength. I have no hesitance in answering all questions, personal or otherwise and am a fountain of knowledge on many odd subjects. Feel free to ask me anything...I guarantee never to say "I don't know."

      From ChefJess June 3

      I am ok with saying fuck it but he seems against it....we'll talk about it tonight...I know that we already did the deposit but moving it past sept 30 of 2010 loses us the deposit or 1/2 anyway, I think I'd rather take a fancy honeymoon and have a fat baby.

      Treatments

      Writing Working / Worked
      I write for a living and I live to write.
    • Open COPD & Emphysema

      I've had COPD for several years. Doc calls me a "pink puffer" (as opposed to a blue one) because my pulse oxygen is always well within normal range, even when I am extremely SOB, which is almost all the time. I also have coronary artery disease, so nobody is sure what causes the dyspnea...it's just a major pain in the ass not to be able to walk across a room without gasping for air.

      Treatments

      Advair Considering
      use it twice day, when I remember. Don't know if it does any good or not...i's just a habit now.
      Albuterol Not Working
      Used it several times in various forms. Usually made me feel worse.
      Oxygen Working / Worked
      I guess it works. I generally pull the cannula out of my nose after a short time because I find it so annoying.
    • Open GERD & Heartburn

      I have a hiatal hernia which caused extremely painful GERD. I've been on 30mgs of Prevacid to control the symptoms for 2-3 years, but they have recently returned and are severe enough to keep me awake for most of the night. Dr. advised doubliing dosage, but don't know yet if that will help.

      Treatments

      Antacids Working / Worked
      Some relief, sometimes.
      Prevacid Working / Worked
      Worked for several years but symptoms have returned, so am doubling dose on Dr. advice. Too soon to tell.
    • Open Diverticulitis

      I was hospitalized with diverticulitis for a week, after waking at 3:00Am with uncontrollable vomiting and diarrhea. Unable to get out of bed, marinating in my own waste, probably the worst experience of my life. Finally called 911, got hauled off to the hospital. They kept me on a liquid diet, took four days to get the symptoms under control, but the cure was at least as bad as the disease. Had a relapse the following weekend, but refused to return to the hospital.

      Treatments

      Flagyl Not Working
      Made me sicker, brought back the nausea
    • Open Female Sexual Issues

      I have written several books on sexuality and can offer help with specific problems.
