    Thanks. I'm thinking now that this is probable. I'll check it out with my doc, but I've also decided to make an appointment with a holistic practitioner in the next couple months about other stuff too. We'll see what they come up with. Thanks again.

    Hi Paula, It was so long ago, but I know this much: The first part of her treatment was with Amphotericin. It was a pretty rough road. She lost a lot of weight. She's 6 feet tall and her weight plummeted to about 115 by the time treatment was done (her normal weight is about 155). After her treatments, I believe she was usually held overnight for...

    Hi, My sister contracted valley fever when we lived in Bakersfield. It comes from certain spores that are airborn in desert areas (from what I know). She underwent treatement for a while and had a couple of joint surgeries (her case was pretty severe though). Just to calm you about this, after her treatments and surgeries, she recovered well. She's...

    Adding to previous post. BTW, after my trip I have decided that I MUST get in to see a holistic practitioner or LLMD or something. Need to do some homework and find someone with a good rep. I'm really looking forward to this. Curious about the candida thing and what might be done for that in my case. Take care k

    Hello everyone, Carla, Love the hair - looks great. Donna, Been watching - hope you're feeling better every day. Well, Wish me luck. Tomorrow - 2 amalgams are going away - safely, I hope. Glad I came across you guys. I trust that this guy knows what he's doing. I saw all the equipment last time I was there. I've cut down the smoking...

    Hmmmm... I started waking up in the early morning (like 4am) totally sweating maybe a month ago. How weird. I'm only 40. I wonder if I'm perimenopausal - my cycle has been really off lately. I'll be watching this thread - night sweats are totally new for me. I've been gluten-free for 10 months, so it can't be gluten. Sorry to be "all about me"...

    I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the gym. It's shocking. Today: did 45 minutes cardio - later I'm going to attempt Chest & Back again (just didn't have it in me yesterday). Hey - there's that cat again ! If you're down to fruits, veggies & fish, I can see why you're constantly hungry. I think it's supposed to be that way. Hi Deb, You've...

    Good on you Liz - you're doing great. The eating thing will pull itself together when you're ready. I give myself "free" days too - and I do take advantage of them, but it seems to keep me from going completely mad. Those free days seem to get less and less appealing the more I work out & feed myself the good stuff. Yup. It didn't so much fall...

    Hello everyone, So, I had a really great workout at the gym yesterday - Cardio, Triceps, Biceps ... and then, the Charger football game - Chips, dip, more chips, a couple Redbridges ... (as the game wore on, the muching increased). Oh well - at least I had my great workout to fall back on. So, I've got this monsterous dentist appointment on Wednesday...

    Weigh In: I've lost a pound - not much, but it's progress (159 today). My waistline is smaller by about 1/2 of an inch since last week - probably the working out. I only did 3 days cardio and 1 day weights (Chest & Back), but at least I'm making an effort. My nighttime cravings have dropped off this week. I'm not sure why. I'm noticing muscles...

    Hi & welcome, I have dealt with this. It's my sister, who always thinks she knows everything about everything. After months of struggling to make her understand that I wasn't willing to go to restaurants & take the chance, I gave up and decided that she's just not going to get it. Therefore, it's not something I can control. The things I can...

    Hi everyone, Hey Liz, Sorry things have been so stressed for you lately. Sounds like you've been dealing with a lot. I hope things settle down for you soon so you can concentrate on YOU and not all the things that have been weighing (no pun intended) on you. It's hard to eat well and motivate yourself to do the things it takes to get in shape when...

    Well, it seems that most of us are having the same problem. True for me too. I've been making an attempt to exercise more, but those snack cravings are keeping me from losing. The good news: I haven't gained either. I've been going to the gym I had classic gym fear. Joined last year and just began going a few weeks ago. I'm actually beginning...

    When I do things like that, my husband always appreciates a sincere but quick apology and short explaination. Seems that just an acknowledgement that I understand how what I said was hurtful helps. I try to make it short - guys just don't seem to want to go into the details.

    Speaking of going South ... I noticed a couple weeks ago that my 40 year old tush was rapidly joining my thighs - there has become almost no noticable difference between my butt cheeks and my hamstrings - I can't even really see my hamstrings. I gained 4 lbs. with my last failed attempt to quit smoking. And, so, that brings me to my next point: No...

    You funny boy. Enjoy packing. The destination sounds like it'll be worth the journey. Do they 'Call you Mr. Knowitall?' My name is Mudd.

    You're so right Tom - I was aware that you knew everything. I should have just pm'd you. Could have avoided all this silly posting and such.

    I got it ! <raising arms in victory> Internet Explorer in "View", there's an option to choose text size.

    Hi Lisa, That didn't work. Thanks though.

    Hi, EDIT: Problem solved, so no need to bother with this. What I'm looking at appears to be that all my headings and most or some of the text on the web pages are in really large font - not just for this site, but for every site I'm looking at - especially search engines. It looks like in some pages, the entire pages are larger than the...

    Hello all, Well, Donna (Hi), it looks like I did have a slight reaction yesterday, so, yes, looks like a delayed reaction. In the past it's only taken about 6 hours. I got the heart "ka-thunk" yesterday afternoon (27 hours after my test). It wasn't as severe as it was in the past. It only happened once and I almost passed out in the same breath - and...

    Hello all, It's me again - that little gnat that won't stop buzzing around - I'll try to stay out of Jin's coffee. I was reading about Carla's Yeast Extract / MSG issue this morning - particularly strange timing for me. When I saw yeast extract as an ingredient, i was going to give a heads up, but Charlie had already done that. Something crazy has...

    I can't imagine what the heck this means, but it doesn't sound like I fare well in this game. I give up. CYa

    Hopefully no gossip, but Skimming before bed - happened to see this. I was able to hold off on cigs for about 6 days, but I'm smoking again. Things have not gone well lately. I'm really just treading water right now. I haven't been reading the thread at all. Had my first appointment with the dentist - future costs look to be around...

    I took the poll. I believe I'm gluten intolerant & not celiac. I have no diagnosis because before I knew about "Celiac", I was already over a month in and chose not to challenge due to the length of challenging wheat necessary. I felt that damaging myself further was unneccesary. When I say damaging, I'm refering mostly to the anxiety / depression...
