Question

May 13, 2005

Hi ,

Harry just responded -- said " For shingles there is zovirax for the early

stages. By the time I had self-diagnosed it the doctor said it was too late for

zovirax, but I treated it with lysine. "

So I would suggest trying lysine (very inexpensive OTC supplement -- we take it

for anything viral, seems to help) -- and the zovirax you might want to surf the

net and read about it, may already be too late?????

Good Luck!

Bonnie

question

Hi everyone,

I have a question. Have any of you ever had shingles before? I'm not sure I

have them as I have not been to a dr. but am pretty sure due to some stress

I have been under. I just don't know the best way to treat them and hat to

have to go to a dr if they can be treated some other way. Any help would be

greatly appreciated. They have chosen to apprear on my right cheek (and I

don't mean face) LOL!!! and I can hardly sit down or lay down they hurt so

bad.

By the way I did 60 LL breaths today.

Love,

May 13, 2005

Thanks Melinda,

I finally broke down and went to the Dr today and she said I was really a

little late but gave me some stuff to take for a week or so and something

for the pain. I never realized how truly bad they can be, but am a believer

now!!!

Love,

Many folks get things from Ebay. Do you already have a Merchant Account?

Every company is different. I don't need a swiper, knuckle buster, or forms.

My company has a Virtual Terminal I use. So before you run out and buy

things, shop around first!

Where do we newbie business people get a credit card machine(old or new

style) & the papers that are required for old machines???

Maybe some experienced people can explain how we submit the paper

style, and other how toos???

Gabby,

I got the manual imprinter from an ebay store pretty cheap. He also sold

the slips and a custom plate for the imprinter. I think altogether I

paid like $30 or something (that was a long time ago). If you're just

getting started with it and don't want to start a merchant account

anywhere, I highly recommend Propay (www.propay.com). I've never had a

problem with them! Hope this helps!

I'll second the recommendation for ProPay. I used to have a

traditional merchant account, which can easily cost you $20-40/month

just for the privilege of having it. The basic ProPay account is

$35/year and then your transaction fees.

as shyra said, I have been seeing virtual terminal popping up. I think

i just saw an email on pay pal about a virtual terminal or something

like that. I havnt looked into it though. but they said that it is

great for shows and other venues and stuff were you don't need to do

biz over the net.

Personally, I prefer to avoid PayPal whenever possible. It offers NO

protection for the seller. Their Virtual Terminal costs waaaay more than

mine.

I got my Merchant Account through my bank. My business has it's own checking

account. My bank offers merchant services. You should check with your bank.

I had the option of getting all of the machines and all that jazz, but the

Virtual Terminal is perfect for me. I paid a one-time set up fee - less than

$100. I pay $9.95 a month for the service. The fees for credit card

transactions are less than half the PayPal fees. The bank also takes an

active interest in protecting their customers. Chargebacks are not

automatic. The person must file paperwork to get the money back and if I can

prove the items was delivered to them, then they lose.

Also, the person's name, address, phone number, and all of the card info

must match exactly with their bank info. I cannot process a transaction

without their phone number. Also, when a wife places an order with the

hubby's card, I ship the order to the hubby. My bank rep recommended doing

this to protect myself.

Now for shipping proof, USPS Delivery Confirmation isn't enough. Thus, I

have started shipping more with FedEx as they will have the exact address,

where they left it, and who signed it.

I know these are crazy things to think about, but they are needed. My bank

rep got me to think about these things. Sad that I had to!

Wow! FedEx is supposed to get a signature? They just leave my packages

on my deck if I'm not home. When I have been home, I've never been asked

to sign for anything. Is that with all shipments or only if you as the

shipper request it?

No, they are not required to signatures except if it's delivered to a

commercial address. Although, when I get FedEx packages at my home, I DO

have to sign. They won't leave them. May be because I live in the city. Same

with UPS. You can have a signature as a requirement for the delivery of the

package.

If i have a transaction that's over $250, i just split it up into two

transactions. ProPay doesn't even notice.

If your doc says your quad exercises aren't working, they're probably not

working, although then the question arises why is your kneecap off track. But

let's say you decide to get the lateral release (I had one in '95 and it fixed

me up for 5 years -- I know that doesn't sound that great, but I think the job I

took then, where I had to sit for hours w/my knees bent under a desk allowed the

slit to grow partially back together). The one thing is, make sure that your

surgeon doesn't cut your vastus lateralis. Mine did. So I can never have

thunder thighs on that side. I'm not young & full of life, so it doesn't make a

difference in how well my leg works, but you are. My 2nd surgeon (torn

meniscus) told me that when OS's do a lat. release, they also cut the vastus

lateralis a little. But the other day I read that that's not necessary. If the

lat. release isn't enough, they can " reef " the medial retinaculum, i.e. take a

tuck in it or cut a part out & sew it back together tighter. I've come to the

conclusion that that may be what's causing my kneecap to sublux now.

And if you're loaded with money (or your insurance would cover you there), you

can to go Italy or Germany (or Canada, but they're only been doing this for a

few months) and get SaluCartilage implants (search for SaluCartilage on the

Web). I can tell you who to contact. I'm thinking about doing that myself, but

think I'll try another LR first, and maybe a medial reefing.

question

hi I just joined the group and I was reading over the last weeks worht of

e-mails and u guys seem really well researched in this area so I was hoping to

get some advice. I'm a 17yr old runner and I've had CP problems since my

sophmore yr of high school and my dr. has basically told me because the work

I've done trying to strenghthen my quads has done no good (beside making my legs

look great) that I need to have the lateral release surgery as soon as the cross

country season is over. He has also suggested a cortisone shot to get me through

the season, and I currently taking celebrex, it seems to have reduced the

inflimation but I still have a good deal of pain on and off the track. I was

wondering it any of these have aided anyone in the group and if you all think it

would be worth while for me to get the shot and/or the surgery. Thanks for your

help. Casey

well the research I've done into the Salucratilage implants make it sound gr8

but I'm not loaded and the insurance would never cover it. thanks for the advice

I'll make sure and mention the vastus lateralis thing to my dr, thanks casey
