Guest guest Posted September 10, 2001 Report Share Posted September 10, 2001 I don't know about you, but the only time I get to operate the remote is when my wife is asleep or on the computer. Re: [ ] Digest Number 87 Well, yeah, but we're the ones that have to operate the remote. It's very stressful when you have over 100 channels... -dz- Jannewilms42@... wrote: No DZ.....we know you men work hard for us women..but when you guys get home our jobs never finish.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2001 Report Share Posted September 10, 2001 <P> My wife gives up the remote to me when I come home, but she still seems to retain veto power whenever I put " The Man Show " or " Married With Children " ... & nbsp; Her sense of humor isn't quite as warped as mine.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2002 Report Share Posted May 7, 2002 , I have also had surgery with Dr. Rand (6 in fact!) I think he is very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 7, 2002 Report Share Posted May 7, 2002 Thanks for the info . Sounds like you have been through alot! Back in 1976 I was fused from T10 to L4 w/ a Harrington Rod. Over the past two years, I have more pain and trouble walking. My doctors sent me to Dr. Rand and he diagnosed me with Flat Back, and indicated I will need to have a revision surgery and also they will need to fuse L% and S1. Did they fuse you down to S1? If so, how is your mobility? I.e. getting in and out of cars. Thanks so much for your help, Re: Digest Number 87 , I have also had surgery with Dr. Rand (6 in fact!) I think he is very good.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2002 Report Share Posted May 21, 2002 TLCRT: Welcome! Please come to the Northgate meeting on 6/10 if you can make it. If you are self pay it is MUCH cheaper to go to Mexico for surgery. That's what many of us did. We can tell you all about it and you can see our results. There should also be some people there who used the local surgeons and you can hear about their experiences first hand. : I totally agree! The Fox seminar is well worth the money even if you don't plan to use him or the other doctors he works with for the actual surgery. You will learn a lot and you get to ask all the questions you want. As a group the PNW Bandsters are about due to invade another one of the Fox meetings and parade around our results. Anybody want to suggest a date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2002 Report Share Posted September 28, 2002 I have tried black currant bud absolute. It was dark in color and almost crystalline it is though thick. Very, VERY strong. I blend with the merest crumb, and have tried making dilutions in alcohol and oil. I must say I haven't mastered this material yet. At the right age, in the right dilution, in the right diluent, with the right blend, it is totally exquisite. But I have gotten inconsistent results depending on whether I diluted it in alcolhol and 'pre-aged' it before further blending, vs puttong it in with the other ingredients from the start. For example- looking back in my notes- 2% dilution of black currant bud (call it 'cassis' for short) in either everclear or 110pr vodka with a tiny bit of glycerine as a fixative- aged for 4-5 months. Another mix made at just before that and so aged about 5+ months. And I poured them together in 1:1 dilution 'just to see what happened'- and the results were excellent. The 'other mix' is one of those that you look back on and ask yourself 'what was I thinking!?'- R. damascena and R. centifolia with ginger (OK so far)- then some sandalwood- (possibly regrettable, possibly not..) grapefruit (WHY?)- clary sage (well ok, I was putting clary sage in everything back then as a matter of principle)- and ylang ylang (WHY?)- and top it off with a tiny drop of tincture of benzoin as a fixative. So the 'mix' was ok enough to use- but the combo with the cassis was a surprising synergy. When I remixed it in joba and almond it was not at all the same. FWIW the benzoin did not give me any adverse effect. I suspect the total concentration to have been 0.1% if that. The study continues. I also am intrigued by the black currant bud in combination with violet leaf absolute- another 'difficult' material. -- L Wakefield, owner and operator of the beastly truck heretik, that refuses to stay between the lines when parking -- Digest Number 87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Hi All (in response to all emails)! Thanks for your responses. I'm glad to hear from other mom's with kids around the same age as Jake. Not only is finding a LLMD hard, but finding one who will see children has been a challenge as well. We have an appt with Dr. J in February. I like the LL-family physician and I can see some of the rationale for why he is only treating Jake 2 days/month, however, in my gut I feel that we need something more aggessive. This doc likes pulse therapy and I think it does have some benefits. However, I find I want more, or at least more often. My hope is that Dr. J will make suggestions and the doc here will be willing to treat. Jake has had one " round " (2 days of Zithromax at the end of Sept)...did he herx? My husband thought he was more easily agitated and that the episodes were more intense. He did get sicker on Days 8-15 (was it a herx or just the disease???). He actually had a " good " day yesterday, which he hasn't had in a long time. Jake has had 2 spinal taps (and our son that died had too many to count) and all I can say is...demand conscious sedation (Propofal) so they can get a clean tap & they won't remember it. Neurological symptoms seem to be prevalant with this disease and from what I've read, can be more intense with children, particularly the rage (which we have experienced). Regarding the eye problem, that doesn't surprise me. I have an online friend whose family has been affected with LD. Her dtr has nastigmis (?spelling) and they have also dealt with irititis. My Jake is constantly rubbing his eyes, but has difficult explaining why (which has been another difficultly dealing with a young child who just doesn't " know " how to describe things he has never felt before). I would think that anything with LD could come and go...especially if caused by it. This disease is crazy and its list of symptoms is endless, it seems. I will definitely ask the doctor about Omnicef and what he thinks of the anti-malaria meds (and do some research myself...ha!), as well as the Ceftin. Regarding the allergy to antibiotics, I've heard some about desensitizing, but not a lot. Maybe that is an option for your dtr, , so she can take the much needed meds. It amazes me that even in what is so called " endemic region " , the amount of illiteracy concerning LD still exists. This whole disease is baffling to me. All I know, is that I want my son better and that there is just too many unanswered questions. I do know for certain that we aren't crazy, Moms!
