MelodyL,
With your upbeat caring personality I believe your gonna make it. Just remember to practice safe sex at 100 years young.;)

Safe sex when I'm 100??? I'll be lucky if I can even find my 'you know what", when I'm 90, let alone practice safe sex!!!

Also, I reach 100 in 40 years. Believe me, not only will they have perfected better diagnostic techniques by this time, they will have perfected a better way than the condom for having safe sex. Want to hear what I think will be the way every has sex by the time I'm 100???

Ever watch the movie Demolition Man with Sylvester Stallone. He is in deep freeze for about 30 years for a crime he didn't commit. They get him out of cold storage, give him back his police badge, and they team him up with Sandra Bullock to find the bad guy, Wesley Snipes.

Now there is a part in this film, when he goes to Sandra Bullock's futuristic apartment and they are talking and she asks him "would you like to have sex"? The look on his face is priceless. He says "yeah" (I mean, what the heck, did we think he was going to say NO!!!).

So he's sitting on the couch anticipating Sandra Bullock coming out in a revealing outfit, when she comes out with two head helmet things. He looks at her and says "what is this?" She says "this is how we have sex". IT'S ALL VIRTUAL!!!

He looks at her and says "wait a minute, what about the old fashioned way"?? and she looks at him all aghast and says "you mean exchange bodily fluids,?? ewwwwwwww!!! I never laughed so hard in all my life.

Believe me, in the upcoming 40 or 50 years, they will have perfected virtual reality in such a way, that we'll all be connected to something on our heads (we probably don't even have to leave our computer chairs for this one), we'll probably have endorphins shooting out all over the place.

Look what happend since the aliens landed in Roswell New Mexico in 1947. All technology happened after that. We are still learning.

So just imagine in 40 years. We'll be using hovercrafts (powered by Super conductors, we have them now, but they are in the infant stage). But in 40 years, believe me, technology will allow us to live longer, live healthier (that is if we do all the right stuff we are supposed to do).

So there will be virtual reality sex and beaming in and out of places. I can't wait. I'm a trekkie from way back. Or trekker, depending on who you talk do.

Now will we do it the old fashioned way or will we do it by virtual reality?? Well, I think of Tony Randall and Anthony Quinn, who fathered children in their 80's. IT AIN'T OVER TILL IT'S OVER!!! lol

Verseo Detox Foot Patches
 

These patches are available from LTD Commodities for $24.95. But I agree, they are probably a trick. Has anyone tried epsom salts in a foot bath?

I remember my mother and my italian grandmother used Epson Salts for absolutely everything that was wrong with you.

Soaked your feet in it. Drank it for your stomach.

God, I feel so old!!! lol

Always, *always* remember: If it sounds too good to be true - it is.

I've seen those commercials for the patches too. I so wished there was something that simple and relatively cheap that would 'fix' my PN. For good. But it doesn't work that way, sadly. I figured they had found some kind of chemical reaction to make it appear that the patches were doing what they claim they will do. If it worked that well wouldn't there be...I don't know...a major news headline story at least? :D

Detox Foot Patches - I use them.
 

Hello - I' was just surfing for reviews on the Verseo Detox Foot Patches, primarily because my husband thinks they are a bunch of nonsense - I landed on this Neuro Talk forum and joined. I use the Verseo Premium Detox Foot Patches - not because I've seen them on the As-Seen-On-TV ads, but because I was looking into a detox system that doesn't keep you sitting on the potty 24 hours a day!
I gotta tell you, I like these. I have never seen "black" on the pads the next morning but I have seen brown sticky gunk. I was completely ready to see nothing - I don't drink or smoke or hang with smokers etc. But, I got the gobbly gook. How it happens, don't know but I use them and love them. I wake up after a really, really good sleep. I'm on my feet alot during the day and they seem to refresh my feet and I feel good.
Is it all in my head? Could be but if I can feel good, have my feet feel good and get a good night sleep - I'll keep using them!
I use them three nights in a row - until the pad comes almost "clean" and then again the following week.
So, there's my two cents worth.

to Shiney sue-hi, I just saw this post.... I would like to compare your symptoms, age, etc. My husband has per neuropathy and has had several toe amputations. I'm new to this site so if I've screwed up replying,,, sorry! Rozzie

Sue....
 

You gotta be careful with those beakers with steam coming out of them...

I don't trust them myself:

Now this type of beaker (a photo taken by my son) is more my style:
(BTW I gave him this empty beaker when I found them on Ebay and bought
3 of them for a song). I thought he could use it for cooking. I am going to use
mine for mixing hummingbird nectar. That is his roommate in the background holding his
new adopted kitty--- who ran in the door one day in Nov while my son was
taking trash to the dumpster. They decided to keep her. I hate to brag (not)
but my son is becoming a very creative photographer. <wink>
