Guest guest Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Hey, BG & group, Sally here-I would def agree that the pork and red meat prob'ly cause flaring with the crystalline and rheumatoid arthritis, and I know I should stop eating that stuff:(!! Sounds like you do OK on chicken and fish? The only seafood/fish I like is lobster and that with lots of drawn butter!! Woe is me, huh? However, I hardly ever drink, regularly work-out (water aerobics, lt weights, stationary bike, 20 mins at a slow speed on the treadmill (due to pain in feet), all my own hsewrk for the 1st time since '93, and most fun- a motor assisted, really cool adult tricycle I have-LOVE IT-but have to have hubby around when I ride as wrists and hands are so bad there's no way I can push it if I get stuck!), and try to eat lots of fruit, veggies and pasta with my meats. What I meant about dieting is not to let yourself get that horrible kind of hungry you get when dieting-did that last year (only to lose 5 lbs, for heaven's sake!) and really had trouble with my joints, when I was sooo hungry. Don't want to go thru that again! If any of you want to look into the motor-assisted trikes, the phone number is 1-888-3wheeler. They're recumbent trikes with a tractor seat and I got coaster and hand brakes for mine-pretty exp but what freedom-I haven't been able to do my beloved walks around the 'hood in years and now I can ride, and stop and talk (while seated:) and use the motor when I want to or need to. There's a little lever on the handlebars that I push with my thumb when I want to use the motor. The motor holds about a 2 hr charge from the battery. I plug the battery in after every ride-it sits in the large basket on the back of the bike. I take my cell ph, water, sunglasses & ID in a plastic bag on my rides. I got a 3 speed and it was $800 for the PAV3 trike and another $1200 for the motor and battery and I got armrests, lights, fenders, puncture resistant tires and all those cost extra, of course! Web site is: http://www.worksman.com/p.23.html and e-mail is workcycle@.... I've had this trike for almost 2 yrs-don't know why I haven't written about it sooner-It was developed by a guy with MS, and I saw a bunch of the trikes when watching TV in the DC area and looking at a gathering of disabled folks on the mall. Hopefully, somebody in the group can get one and enjoy it! Hugs! Sally in Little Rock BG, thanks for the tips!

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Oh Kim, What great news, I started to tear up. I can barely see my screen. It is good to hear from you again. I will also be looking for the way to get the Mexican order for Naltrexone and the directions, for a friend of a friend that gave up years ago and refuses to see a doctor. She tried so many things that never worked years ago, and she has no faith that there is anything at all that will help her. She gave up years ago and has not left her bed for quite a long time. My friend says that she is only alive because she has a son that is about 12 years old. Wouldn't it be great if she tried LDN and had success. My best Aletha [low dose naltrexone] Re: I need your help! > >> Hi, all! I need your help. I need to know how to get naltrexone from >> Mexico, and I need specific directions on how to mix it.
