hi heather,

the easiest way to use garlic in olive oil i found is

to infuse a crushed garlic glove in about 1/4 cup of

olive oil and put it on the heater for a few minutes.

then take dap some cotton wool in the garlic/olive oil

and wipe his ear(s) gently with it. or if he lets you,

even take a bit on a teaspoon and drip it in his ear.

I always make sure to squirt some directly into the ear (make sure it's cooled)

with an eye dropper and have my daughters lay on the opposite side on a pillow

as long as they will watch tv. Don't for get to give them a towel or cotton

ball or everything will be a garlic smelling mess.

for both. garlic has antibiotic qualities, without the

side effects, so will help with any infection really.

My feet, along with the rest of me, are short so I can often buy kids shoes!

Love that! But I inherited my mom's width, and they're pretty puffy and

swollen from never being walked on, so shoes can be hard to find sometimes. I

have a

terrible time with sandals or strappy, dressy shoes. They never fit, and they

show too much of my ugly feet anyway. But shoes are one of my favorite things

in the world! I have way too many, but they're cute and always look good as

new!

~e

[Guest guest]

Yes! I have my grandmother's feet! Ughhh! Short but wide. I usually buy

shoes that are too big so they don't hurt too much (my feet turn off in

weird directions). Having shoes that are slightly too big is not as problem

since I use a wheelchair.

Lori

P.S. I do like that my shoes still look new after years and years.

(unknown)

Ladies, I was wondering if any of you struggle to find shoes that fit

well?

i have problems finding shoes also. my feet are small and swollen. i

usually have to buy a couple sizes bigger to fit. i wear kids shoes and always

have

trouble finding mature styles. another thing that bothers me is my knee high

boots look funny b/c my legs are so skinny they arent tight around the legs.

i wish i could find custom made shoes.

WH,

I can relate, but fortunately, I did respond to SSRI's so my hypogonadism

went undiagnosed for years. I also have no thyroid gland, so have been on

thyroid

replacement for year (Synthroid). Everytime I tried to go off

antidepressants, I would crash and burn even if everything in my life was

wonderful. By

chance (I think due to an Androgel drug rep) my physician drew a T level during

my

annual exam. I was started on Androgel, and felt so much better for the first

month. I even successfully went off of the SSRI. I developed painful and

engorged nipples, and started feeling like crap again. I was taken off the

Androgel

for a month and had new labs. Yesterday, I started on T injections (Depo

testosterone). If I get the nipple problems again, my doc agreed to start me on

an

estrogen blocker.

I am convinced that many men are misdiagnosed with depression when they

actually have hypogonadism. I had accepted that I would always have lower

energy,

poor concentration and mood problems. I am now hopeful that my quality of life

will improve! For the first time in years, I am hopeful.

Hang in there. It seems like you are on the right track.

I haven't worn shoes since fourth grade. At times, it is nice b/c I am

never looking for that perfect pair of shoes, but at other times, it bothers

me a little. I'd like to find something that would be comfortable and look

good. However, most of the time it's okay, and I've never been run out of

any establishment for infringing on their " Shirts and shoes required "

policies! ;-) Happy New Year!

Blessings to all for the most fabulous New Year ever!

dressy shoes. my feet and toes turn in such weird angles it was always soooo

hard to find CUTE shoes!

My problem is having an average size boob on one side and a flat boob on the

other. i think the development of my one breast was hindered by my position

and severe scoliosis. anyone else have this problem? and do any of you have

problem finding bras that fit well? when being transfered bras seem to ride up

so to speak. since i am thin and straps fall down, i tend to go for

strapless bras.

[Guest guest]

I have an average size boob on one side and a smaller on the other side too!

It's horrible tryin to find a bra to fit, i hate it!!! Scoliosis was

definitely the cause of mine.....its my goal one day to get it fixed... ! Push

bras dont work so well when ur not the same size on both sides....and that

sucks.

Hi Mark,

The pecking order tends to be, for the UK anyway:

ILCOR International Liaison Committee on Resus.

ERC European Resus. Council

RC(UK) Resus. Council UK

There are some excelent journals out there and

Resuscitation is very well thought of.

Happy hunting,

I don't have any of these problems. I'm an average size cup and both

are the same on each side.

I don't understand how scoliosis is the problem, though. Did you girls

have the surgery? I had a 90 degree twist and an 82 degree bend

backwards and had my spinal fusion at 14. I was already developed by then.

Tom, your previous message DID post to our group, and I'm not sure why you think it didn't.

I think the reason you didn't get any responses is b/c you never really gave any indication that you actually *have* achalasia. Your post made it sound like you "self-diagnosed" achalasia and never saw a doctor or had any tests. And your symptoms don't really sound like achalasia, either.

If I'm wrong, please feel free to correct me. But bashing for what is, afterall, a free service, doesn't seem warranted IMO.

Debbi

This has been one fookin' mission - is stupid beyond comprehension. All I wanted to do was talk to all the members of the Achalasio support group and it's taken six hours to get here. I hope I'm talking to at least some of you.

I came down with the disease five years ago without knowing what it was.

I fixed my own problem with a recently developed form of self-hypnosis called Neuro-Linguistic Programming.

Look up their web sites, but unless you are in direct contact with Bandler or Grinder (the founders) you are talking to wannabe's.

This spastic muscle in the throat I can help relax.

Don't reply through - it's a Carnegie-Mellon set-up that once launched Angelfire Mail which is no longer.

You may be correct and that was my first impression when I read his

message. There is a chance that he is just a strong believer in the method

and the people he spoke about. But, the message has the hit and run feel to

it, that you get from people that are not interested in a general

discussion and just want to get something from you. Too bad. I would

actually be interested in discussing the possibility of using our own minds

to help our conditions. Think about it for a moment. Many people have

written about how stress makes their symptoms worse and that many first had

problems at a time of high stress. I don't remember anyone saying that

stress made no difference to them. I may just have forgotten though.

Don't get me wrong though. I am not one of those people that believes in

the " we only use 10% " nonsense. I also think that terms like hypnosis and

Neuro-Linguistic Programming probably cause more confusion than

enlightenment. I also am not interested in metaphysical fixes. On the other

hand, I believe that stress can be reduced by what we believe or expect and

that we can change our minds about some of the things that cause the stress

so it will be less. I think we can learn to be more relaxed. I think good

suggestions from ourselves and those we trust can help us make these

changes. I don't think these things will fix us, but maybe we could have

more good days. I have seen stranger things than this that were true.

Mesmerized by the possibilities,

notan

[Guest guest]

Jan, unfortunately there are all kinds of people out there that do stuff like this.

Whether this person is a true believer of his "method" or whether he's trying to sell us something, I don't think this is the place for him. Our best recourse is just to ignore him, which we all did the first time around and which obviously upset him to the point that he felt the need to bad-mouth and post his message again (the best defense is a good offense, ya know! LOL)

Hi Ellis,

I am 27, My displacia at birth got messed up, the head of my femur was

broken off, and all I had was a stub, no neck no socket. I got to the stage

where I couldn;t sleep, had a stomach ulcer after too many meds, and was

usually so messed up over so many painkillers, my career was going down the

pan.. I was always told, that unless I had it done.. that I would be in a

wheel chair for my last trimester if I got pregnant..

I had my first THR last march. For the first time ever I can sit cross

legged, can scuba dive with no problems and have no pain.. Not yet

pregnant... but.. watch this space.. Life is very, very different.. without

pain..

GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you want any other words of confidence.. or anything else.. please give

me a shout.

Caroline.
