Hi Everyone..The weather is starting to come around here in New England..It was in the 50's today, and a beautful sunny day

I had a week from H***..I woke up last Sunday with a wicked stomach bug thats been going around..I was so sick that I couldnt stand to be awake..I must have slept 18 hours, and thats about all I did for 3 days was sleep..I couldnt eat anything on Sunday and when I opened a can of catfood to feed the cats I thought I was going to throw up..I had a bad case of Montezuma's Revenge, like Ive never had before..I didnt leave the house untill Wednesday night to go to an AA meeting and I probably should have stayed home..Come to find out alot of people I talked to either were getting over the same bug I had, or knew someone who was..I finally felt well enough to get out of the house to tinker with my boat today..I cant remember the last time Ive been sick because its been so many years

Last night after I had turned in for the night I heard what sounded like one of the cats knocking something off the bureau..I didnt pay much attention to it and went to sleep..When I woke up this morning the bedroom was cold, and what had happened was that noise that I heard was the top half of the window falling down..The window was open all night..I dont let my cats out becaue I live on the main drag and am afraid that they will end up getting run over..I cant believe that they didnt try to jump up on the window and get out..The house has Andersen windows and Im really surprised that happened..Strange!

How was your week?



Badfellas

Hi steve, the picture of the "badfellas" is wonderful. you have made my day! Nothing earthshaking here, except there was a lunar eclipse last night, but I forgot to set my alarm to view it. we did see "Breach" at the movies which was very good; finally found a movie my husband and I both enjoyed. He likes anything with Clint Eastwood riding a horse and/or carrying a gun (preferably a very large gun) and I favor British films or films with great cinematography requiring at least one handkerchief.
Weather remains very cold in cincinnati, though the sun is shining at this moment. We had the rest of our 70 yr old fir tree removed this past week. All the branches were sheared off from the weight of the ice and snow 1 1/2 weeks ago.
Finished reading "the inheritance of Loss" (forgive the "; my underline feature does not work)by Desai; a very moving, beautifully written novel contrasting colonialism and modernity, and illuminating the continuing aftereffects of colonialism.
also, Reader's Digest , mar 07,has a report titled "brain powered". Presents info about administering meds to get them across the BBB(thru genetic engineering to link drugs with specific antibodies) and the use of adenoassociated viruses to deliver genes that are implanted into the brain. (dr. Michael Kaplitt, weil cornell medical college.) and a "hard wired"connection between the brain and the immune systemvia the vagus nerve.

hi ,
had an odd week. visited my father and step mother, who is fighting cancer, and got to visit with my brother who was is town from ca for a couple days. dad lives in durham, about two houurs north of wilmington. when i left to drive home i stopped at a gas station and filled my empty diesel truck full of regular gas- whoops! kind of delayed my departure.
i'm 46, dx last fall. i started iv glutathione/twice a week and i take a bunch of suppliments, including coq10. no regular meds or dopa, yet. trying to make myself start going to the gym. i love this forum!

just popping in to say hi got that same stomach thing in Canada its pretty nasty good thing for most people it only latst 24 to 48 hours its nasty nasty nasty lol take care all Im leaving for a while

i'll start another thread for it but i'd like to hear your opinion on the glutathione

but back to topic- been a pretty good week in lake woes-be-gone. continue to feel the trend is up due to my lipoic acid - carnitine - carnosine use. been putting in full days and having a few evenings where i was better at bedtime than supper. stopped selegeline a week ago in prep for the dextromethorphan trial. missed it a couple of days but then my libido didn't miss it ay-tall

continue to plan super website if the energy holds out. working with anne frobert to beat 4 years of research into useable form. and trying to go fishing.

Hi Steve & All,

Well it's been a quiet week in southwestern USA, my home town... really! where did the week go?!

February was busy and March will be busier. We originally had company on the calendar to come 3 weeks in a row - but thankfully one family rescheduled for May. Whew! Oh well, what can you expect?! They are coming from cold climes. As you can imagine, we don't get many guests in June-July-August...

Mr. Kitty is settling in - he no longer howls all night long. I think he's finally figured out that no other kitties live in the house.

Several weeks ago I started eating blueberries & blackberries for breakfast, began drinking grape juice, PLUS started taking a 'berries' daily supplement. And I have had no neuropathic pain in my feet during that time. I've been trying to think of any other change in my diet / activities. But for now I'm thinking that berries may be the reason. Fingers crossed that this works out! Not having those pain zingers to my feet is a blessed relief.

(NEXT week I'll start taking calcium channel blockers - as mentioned in the PAN forum.)

Also I'm pretty sure I'll be going to the YOPN conference in Chicago this July. It's a tentative plan anyway - bonus is that I'll get to visit a friend & a cousin who both live there, as well as attend the conference.

I hope everyone has a good week!

My week started off quietly, but then my 6yr old grandson decided to pass along this stomach virus on Wednesday. By Thursday I had it. By Friday his father and two siblings had it. By Saturday mom and his other grandmother had it. The last two are at the end and into recovery.

The rains finally came and the mountains of ice are melting. What a mess the north US has been these past week. But, ya know, I would prefer the horrors of clearing six inches of ice to the tornado's in the other parts of the country.

Other than that is was an uneventful week.

Sorry Steve, I hope we didn't blow the virus you way into RI.

by internet! I hope all of you victims of Montezuma have a speedy recovery.

The past week has been calm and ordinary for me. The only things worth mentioning are the return of our youngest son from his Seattle trip and dinner out with him and our grandson to celebrate his 36th birthday. Actually, I am much too young to have four children ranging in age from 47 to 36 .
Spring is definitely coming to the South. Jonquils, daffodils, forsythia, Japanese magnolias and crabapples blooming are indisputible signs. I just hope the nights with sub-30 temps are over! Frost-bitten blossoms are such sad things to behold.

Here's wishing a good week and an early spring for everyone.

Robert

I had an awful week!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't think things can get any worse.....but then again ...... maybe I shouldn't say that!!!

Work is great.....it is my only salvation right now. It keeps me too busy to think about problems.

Thank you everyone for being so kind to me. You are the greatest people I have ever met.

LOL

Hi Jean, a diet change works wonders sometimes. I've recently discovered the benefits of vinegar. I noticed that whenever I eat salad with oil and vinegar dressing for supper, I not only sleep much better, I also wake up without foot cramps. Eating pickles for breakfast might be too much of a challenge , but apple juice and grape juice work great for me, too.
