    Yes to separated at birth. And can you imagine if I had started pounding on the door? I was calm and collected, forget the cool, sweat was dripping off of me. I just figured that it was extremely unlikely that I had woken up in my paranoid fantasy and that there was another answer other than panic, but panic was a definite possiblity.

    My preferred incense is Japanese and more of the sandalwood variety, Shoyeido makes very refined incense that is available through their catalogue and is not sweet, I am not a sweet incense person. In fact this talk of it inspired me to burn a little of my treasured chips of real sandalwood. MMMMMmmmmmm I am sorry you lost your mojo, I thought...

    I totally agree. Claire, it is great news to hear that you are feeling better, it is very enouraging. I've been there too Susan, it has been a while but there was a time when I could go from a reasonably happy woman to an insane and inconsolable banshee in minutes. When I think of my poor sweetie and what he put up. When I am in...

    I think I must be reading this topic out of nostalgia, I can't eat rice anymore or at least for now. I do have a tip for short grain brown rice and that is to soak it over night or even for a few hours, you will need to adjust the amount of water slightly if you are cooking large amounts but if it just one cup it should be okay. This was standard practice...

    Hi Rachel, I hope the day goes well for you.

    That sounds like fun and she is fortunate to find you. Meredith, I am glad that the wild dingoes have not carried you off. Your timing is very good, we were getting very worried. Briefly, Lyme is the hot topic, Rachel and I have both been diagnosed with it, Carla and Beverly are being tested for it and there might be others. Is my...

    Julie, you say it well. How are you? ROTFLMAO Alison, wickedly funny. And Susan I do feel we are kindred, all of us here are somehow weaving together something very beautiful and very ordinary, in another time we might be quilting together or sorority sisters and though this is different it is no less substantial...

    The three times that I have been intimately involved with death, my grandmothers and my father-in-law it seemed clear to me that their choice was clear. I have learned through these experiences to trust that if I am to be present I will be and if I am not then I won't. One of my grandmothers got so cold they couldn't read her temperature and they thought...

    Beverly, I know we all have to deal with idiots (or was it ijits?) but this guy takes the proverbial cake. My acupuncturist let me know that my pillows/rocks insight was the turning point that acupuncurists looked for in their patients and he said it was more important than all the treatments he could do for me. I am not seeing him anymore because I...

    My yoga class was cancelled yesterdady and since they offer massages there I had one (this going for the pillows is really paying off ) and I asked the massage therapist about far infra-red saunas, turns out there is another massage clinic that offers them and it is two blocks from my house. I made an appointment for one tomorrow morning. Carla is there...

    But are you serious about getting well? ROTFLMAO Idiots come in all sizes, shapes and persuasions it appears, the I've got this ONE product solution for you people crack me up. They also make me angry, I can take care of myself but what about people who are so vulnerable and desperate that they succumb to the intimidation and that is exactly what it...

    Thank you all for the support. It helps to know that others understand. I just received another email regarding the vitamins: I bolded the "serious about getting better" part because I find it truly hilarious, I was thinking of responding, "no, I'm not serious, I am a lunatic about getting better". I know people are often so convinced...

    Thanks Beverly, you summed it up well, hugs received gratefully.

    I think you are smart. It seems like an excellent question especially since you can compare the two ways of receiving the meds. I was told that liquid supplements were better to take when you have digestive issues and that made sense to me as I found that all supplements bothered me. I know this isn't medication but I'm thinking it might be related.

    Thanks Andrea, reading it over it doesn't seem like such a big deal and I wonder why it upsets me at all. It is easy enough to ignore but I am not very good at ignoring things. Maybe I should work on that, maybe I could work on letting things go which are really not so important to me. On the other hand, I thought I would do this with my mother...

    Welcome. You could be, if that is all of your symptoms but is it all of your symptoms? Do you have any other issues? I ask because when I first posted I posted all of my symptoms that matched Celiac but didn't connect all sorts of other symptoms I was having. After all, I was in crisis because of the digestive issues but I wasn't in crisis about the...

    Kody, here is some information about Lyme disease. Okay it is a lot of information. Open Original Shared Link Symptom checklist: Have you had any of the following? 1. Unexplained skin changes: Fevers Sweats Chills Flushing 2. Unexplained weight change: Weight loss Weight gain 3. ...

    Rachel, I continue to be astonished at what you have gone through. You really are an inspiration. I'm wondering if I can get your opinions on something. I was part of a group that I have dropped out of because I just don't have the energy to make commitments. I sent out an email to everyone in the group explaining why I was leaving and giving them...

    Rachel, YES I am pretty sure it was the Lyme that hurt your eyes. As I understand it it often manifests in the eyes and knees because of the collagenous (not sure about that word) nature of the tissue, i.e. they can swim through it easily. Like I said, they have photos of them coming out of people's eyes and ears. I've heard that a lot of people...

    Fiddle Faddle, you bring up a good point. I don't use anything around my eyes, no creams and no mascara. Okay eye issue list: Rachel, Carla, Donna and ....? Do you use cream around your eyes that could be causing this?
  21. rinne
    Rachel, I really hope that you will let those doctors know the Rachelville law.

    I am not surprised by this, I am thinking you are a Dingo Magnet. Rachel, I read the article. It is astonishing that he survived at all given the treatment he received, six tests for AIDS and numerous referrals for psychiatrists!!! Thanks for the link.

    Open Original Shared Link Laura, yes you did see Klinghardt mentioned on that site and the above link takes you to that site with information on muscle testing. Dr. Hoffman used this diagnostic techniqe on me. I am so pleased that you are going to do this. I want to see you get well and you definitely do not need any more idiot doctors. ...

    I know, today was special. I had two friends for lunch that I haven't seen in a while and they each have new babies. It was great fun. That is one very cute dog. His name is Bruce Hoffman, he can be found at Open Original Shared Link Rachel, one of the things I forgot to mention last night was that during Hoffman's Seminar...
