Guest guest Posted March 18, 2000 Report Share Posted March 18, 2000 Hi Martha: Just read this note and wanted you to know I've been thinking, and being concerned about you too. Didn't know you were considering moving. Come on back to Atlanta. I'd love to meet you over at the Starbucks near Emory (your old stompin' grounds, right?) for a decaf or latte or whatever. Anyway, special prayers are coming your way this weekend. Pam, Atlanta PS. We'd recently considered a job-related move and suddenly realized what a BARGAIN Atlanta is re: housing prices. rheumatic Moving? > From: annkhartley@... > > Martha, > No, you haven't written to me before, but I do remember reading your last > letter with a lot of concern.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2000 Report Share Posted March 18, 2000 Hello, Martha, I see by reading this that I failed to respond (I think) to your query about Seattle and Dallas. I am originally from Dallas, having moved from there about 18 years ago to Billings, Montana. If you are looking for a climate for the RA, this is probably the place, along with Arizona etc. But if you want warm only, then Arizona, etc. would be better. You saw Seattle as I was just leaving for a trip to Seattle and Spokane with my daughter. I nearly froze while there. It wasn't that cold - like I know cold here in Montana in terms of degrees - but the extreme humidity was just plain BONE CHILLIMG. I also respond to sunshine. Need it emotionally and did not see a lot of it while in Seattle. I did LOVE the city and the action and the green and the beauty all around. As far a climate, Montana is very dry. It is such a beautiful state and the cold does not get me here as much as when I return to Dallas or Oklahoma to see my relatives and that wet cold hurts me more. So we can be 20-40 degrees colder here and because of the dryness, I don't hurt so much. I do have to bathe in creams and oils, however, due to the dryness! Like everyone else, I don't know what types of jobs you would be interested in. Billings offers the most as far as jobs in our entire state. This is a tourist and agricultural state with very little industry here. For Doctors and Nurses, lots of jobs. If you are a teacher, beware, it is who you know for the jobs. You must understand that our entire state population is less than the big city of Dallas. But the sunshines almost all the time, that is why we are called Big Sky State. If you want more information about states, let me know and I will get your some info sent out to you. I am on another computer and my regular is back in service. This means I can't see all that you wrote to me but did realize I had now answered you. I know when I get the other computer back, I have several letters to respond to but never want to disregard anyone. If you are retirement age, this I would say for dryness, you might consider a trip out and check it out. I read the Scleraderma Digest and see that women there wear gloves almost year round due to the pain in their hands - especially to cold. However, with SD, I find I wear gloves off and on, certainly not in the summer or fall, and my hands don't seem to hurt me so much. This may be the individuality of my own particular disease, however. Let me know what you decide. I would have sent this directly to you but don't have your address on here and this site on this computer does not show the previous message - bummer! Means I can't read everyone's mail vicariously!

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 , The symptoms of carbon monoxide are often misdiagnosed as the flu, food poisoning, or other illnesses. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that is the result of combustion from certain home appliances such as gas water heaters, stoves, and furnaces. It interferes with the delivery of oxygen throughtout the body. If the combustion by-product (carbon monoxide) is not vented properly to the outside, occupants of a house or building can experience symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, weakness, nausea, confusion, disorientation, fatigue, and chest pain. In high consentrations carbon monoxide can cause unconsciousness and death. A reputable heating and air conditioning company, or a plumber who installs water heaters can fix the ventilation problem. Also, you can purchase a carbon monoxide detector for about the same price as a smoke detector, at any home improvement store. They plug into any home electrical outlet. It's definitely worth it for the safety of you and your family. Randall who <jeaninem660@...> wrote: -Hi randall, glad you brought this up.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 HI Randall, We have carbon monoxide detectors in the home. My children all suffer with a fevers before the vomitting so I am hesitant to think it is CO poisoning. But, it did cross my mind....Thank you!!! +JMJ+ Mom to Jordana (8), Isabella (4), (3), Zachary (1) and (5 months) If you say the ry faithfully until death, I do assure you that, in spite of the gravity of your sins 'you shall receive a never-fading crown of glory.'

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Jeanine and Randall, Reading an old post but regarding cause of symptoms and carbon monoxide, etc, I'm beginning to realize that mold illness has many of the same symptoms as any 'toxic' illness. When I was in Dallas, talked to people sick from all sorts of environmental poisoned, but we all sounded the same in so many ways, that poison is poison to our bodies, but testing our bodies and our environments can help sort out the source of poisoning, mold toxins, bacteria toxins, chemicals, etc. It takes a while and such as in my case, there was two poisons, lead and mold toxins. --- who <jeaninem660@...> wrote: > -Hi randall, glad you brought this up.

This is just a vent really, but does anyone else have to travel to see a doctor? > > Thanks > Kim > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
