Guest guest Posted February 10, 2003 Report Share Posted February 10, 2003 Cookie and Sherry, A paper that I read recently discussed trials for Celebrex, Minocycline and Tamoxifen ALL showing a slowing or reversing the symptoms of ALS. The results are not in yet, but all have shown promising results in a small number of people.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 Sorry, Vaughn, got them all. Took about 10 seconds, most of it scrolling down. I guess I'm not the weakest link, huh? Enjoyed them, though. Mike Vaughn Hickman wrote: > ARE YOU THE WEAKEST LINK? > Below are four (4) questions. You have to answer them instantly.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2003 Report Share Posted March 16, 2003 HI RITA, I DIDN'T HAVE MANY MAILS TODAY BUT I THINK EVERYONE WAS DOING WHAT WE DID. WE GOT OUTSIDE FOR A FEW HOURS. HIP HIP HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE BIRDS WERE SINGING. THE MALES WERE IMPRESSING THE LADIES. WE COULD HEAR THE CAR WASH A ROAD OVER FROM US WORKING OVERTIME. PEOPLE WERE WALKING IN SLEEVELESS SHIRTS, WE WENT FOR A SHORT WALK AND TEENAGERS WERE ON THE PORCH PLAYING GAMES. AND THEY EVEN WISHED US A GOOD DAY. THE NEIGHBORS WAVED AND BLEW THEIR HORNS BUT DIDN'T INTERFERE WITH OUR TIME TOGETHER. IT WAS A WONDERFUL DAY! I DID WANT TO TELL YOU THAT I AM HAPPY THAT YOUR EYE SURGERY WENT SO WELL. I TRULY HOPE THE OTHER ONE GOES AS WELL. BY THE WAY IT LOOKS LIKE WE MAY ACTUALLY BEGETTING A VAN. I WILL SOON BE GETTING MY TAXES BACK AND WITH THE MASON'S HELP WE HAVE ONE SPOTTED IN OUR PRICE RANGE. IT EVEN HAS HAND CONTROLS. BUT I HAD TO TELL DON THAT HE STILL IS NOT GOING TO DRIVE IT. IT TAKES HIM TO LONG TO MOVE HIS ARMS AND HIS GRIP IS JUST ABOUT GONE. BUT WE WILL GE OUT AND AWAY. WE WILL RIG HIM UP TO FISH AND WE WILL TOUR HIS PRECIOUS LAKE AND SEE HIS FRIENDS AND GO TO THE BALL GAMES. I TRULY FEEL THAT SPRING IS BUSTING OUT ALL OVER!!!!!!!!!!! ALL I HAVE TO DO NOW IS GET HIS BOTTOM HEALED. HE HAS A TERRIBLE RASH AND WE DON'T KNOW WHERE IT CAME FROM. LOVE BONNIE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 17, 2003 Report Share Posted March 17, 2003 Bonnie: Thats terrific, I am so happy for you. I had my first outing this morning, and it was wonderful to be able to get out and take the burden off my darling husband. It's beautiful here also, looking for that first Robin and the sounds of the " peeper's at night. What kind of a van are you considering? See how things have a way of working out? Gotta have faith! Hurray for you. Rita Luv & Hugs! ************************************* Some people succeed in spite of their handicap. Others succeed because of them.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 Hey Don -- want some recipes -- I got lots I could send you if it's just mail that you need. Just kidding. I'm getting postings but not all. For instance, I got the replies to Rita about her mother and grandson, but I never received the original from Rita.
