Hello again and Thanks for your responses Harma, Tex and Stanz.

Hope all goes really well with you Shirley,Healthwise and travel wise. A laptop sounds a great Idea. My grand daughter bought one on friday, so didnt feel at all hungry doing the World Vision 40 Hour Famine this weekend. She was SO excited and busy with it.

Golly Tex, Youve sure had a time of it. Yes I know what you mean about the time having an MRI. I couldnt hear the instructions either and wondered how any one was meant to. Apparently one can have their favorite CD playing as well, if they need calming. I held my breath thinking thats what was ...

Hi Darby and Welcome. Sounds to me that you are definitely in the right place. Theres heaps to read here and others who really know what you are going through. So keep browsing and learning and adjusting and we hope you soon begin to notice improvements. Might take some time but patience pays off.

Thanks Matthew and Tex, Im thinking it was the silver beet. Will try using new wee leaves, cooked well as suggested Matthew as I REALLY enjoy silver beet, but will wait a week now. Also stopped the oil for today and will begin very slowly and build up again much slower.
Apparently I had convulsions ...

About Statins. I was on Lipex for almost 2 yrs till I read online, of all the other people who had the same worsening aches and pains as I did, since starting Lipex. I read one doctor saying he'd never go back on them and wont prescribe them . My doctor wasnt pleased when I stopped. They apparently ...

WOW! :eek: Now Im totally empty, what a surprise after being settled at 2 visits a day lately!
