when it was supposed to I'd have to have learned compensation skills galore!
Alkymst, thanks for this 'cheat sheet'!

As for some B-12 only being sold in small 'doses', maybe it's a marketing thing? I've had no problem finding 1000 doses of the sublingual at all.

As for the fish oils, be sure you get a really good quality. Sometimes buying in bulk can work, but at other times, well, in addition to it helping 'clear out' your system, with some brands one can acquire a well, sort of 'fishy smell'. As much as I love the sea, not on or in me, thank you! Mrs D & rose, well, you both have educated me to the point I'm actually beginning to understand this stuff! There have been times I've felt I would never GET IT! Whew!

Melody, glad you 'got lighter' while at home tho...best place to be under the circumstances.

Jarrett's right tho, like anything start out slow and work your way up to that comfortable balance. Each of us is different and each of us have quirks that either help or complicate everything.

If there were any quick and easy fixes tho, would we be here? Wishing just one pain-free moment to each and all. - j

Bad nun!!! That was not nice..I believe you would do very welll
in College. Let Alan go to the gym,you go further your education,your
already very bright in moore ways then one and a joy!! Happy 27th

Hi melody,

I had better luck with the enteric coated fish oil. Dont know why but its better for me. This was after learning where all the restrooms are in L.A.

I really have not heard of this laxative action, esp with only one fish oil...

I had a patient taking 13 of those a day..and he had no problem.
(his doctor put him on that for an autoimmune kidney inflammation..based on
a study from China).

I have however, had looseness from strong Evening primrose supplements.

There is only one gram in that fish oil... not much.
I have had people (myself included) get loose from olive oil, esp Extra Virgin, if it is too liberal on a salad. In Italy they use a tablespoonful of Extra Virgin for
a laxative sometimes. I had a kid with a kidney transplant once whose mom wanted a gentle laxative (I was leaning toward sorbitol sweetener in dietetic candies---but Grandma from Sicily won out with her olive oil! ).
Sugar free PEZ landed my son in the can for almost 1/2 a day once! Beware sorbitol in sugar free candies!

Yes, Mel, I remember the Metformin effects too... not pleasant!

Ugh. Sorbitol, I won't go near it. Worse than Miralax for me.
And I won't go near the fish oil again. This morning (I just came back from coffee at Dunkin Donuts (that's my Sunday morning indulgence and I was supposed to meet up with Alan, getting off his nigh watchman shift (he only works fri nights and Saturday nights). Well he calls me at 8:30 a.m. and says "the person never relieved me, so I called in and they want me to do a double shift". I said "is your foot alright (it did look fine yesterday when I checked it), and he said "oh, I'm fine, don't worry". So he'll do an extra shift. And I'll pamper him when he comes home and he can stay off his feet until next friday night. He goes back to podiatrist next thursday.

Soon as I came home, I did MY THING, like I do every morning after my cup of morning coffee. Nice and normal, thank goodness.

And Mrs. D. You knew a person WHO TOOK 13 FISH OILS IN ONE DAY! ? I would be in the hospital. I would also be 50 lbs lighter. my oh my!!!!

NOW I HAVE TO ASK A QUESTION ABOUT STATIC ELECTRICITY. I have no idea if this relates to my having PN but I have to tell you guys what happened and if any of you can explain this phenomenon to me, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Two weeks ago, a brand new laundromat opened up near me. I went the first time. When I finished washing the clothes I put them in the big dryer that they have. When it was all finished, I put my hands in to take out my clothes, and I touched the inside of the machine. I got shocked. I touched my clothes, I got shocked. I kept getting shocked. I started yelling "jeez, why am I getting shocked." Now I know what static electricity is, for example, you walk across a rug, touch a handle on a door and you get a shock, I assume we have all had that happen to us once in a while.

There was no rug in this store. I did not use any dryer sheets (like Bounce for example), nor did I use fabric softner in my wash. Just regular Tide or a facsimile.

So after that first experience, I chalked it up to a random thing.

WELL, YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN.!! I put my clothes in the dryer. I dry my clothes. (I forgot what previously happened with the shocking thing) and I reached in and BAM, I got a shock. I immediately called the lady who owns the laundromat who is chinese and speaks no english whatsoever and I'm trying to show her what a shock feels like and she burst out laughing. She then puts her hands in the machine (she got no shock), she touches my clothes (she got no shock). I then accidentaly (I was wearing my blue denim jacket), I accidentally brushed up against the machine and BAM, I got a shock.

Now this is no joke!!!! Why am I getting shocked??? I just got off the phone with my friend and I told her the story and she said "the machines are not grounded properly". She's married to an electrician. Now I have no idea if they are grounded properly or IF I'M JUST A PERSON WHO IS ELECTRIC.!!!

This morning, I went to buy the dryer sheets and next time, I'll put two of these dryer sheets in the dryer and we'll see what happens.

I know I have a bubbly personality but ELECTRIC???? jeez...

Anybody else have this happen to them??????

Melody

Melody -
but I sure never got a shock from a clothes dryer. That machine should be checked out. I know you need the big size dryer, but could you use two smaller ones for a while so that you don't keep getting shocked? I have had static electricity shocks and also shocks from machines with problems, so I know the difference. The real shock is quite a wrench. Yeowie!

This machine should be checked before someone gets hurt bad or there are legal problems for the shop owners.

Usually those problems are because the entire building is not grounded correctly or at all to the water pipe, especially if it was done as a do it your selfer.

Halleluhah!!!!! I thought it was my PN affecting my nerve receptors or something like that!!!!!

Now how silly is that????

lol Melody
