Thanks for ideas. I'm thinking about mild Pilates and a warm swimming pool. I don't give up. I'm also gluten free and working with a functional medicine pharmacist. I think I also need to have my bipap settings reevaluated. I slept in a recliner for 3 years. Now I'm in a real bed with my favorite hu...

I tell my grandkids I'm 102... Really 77. I have fibromyalgia, RA, peripheral neuropathy and some other stuff. For a while I was headed to a walker and increased pain meds, etc. Now the walker is in the basement. I am working with a movement method which hydrates all of the connective tissue in my b...

I sing in a choir. When I have to drive any long distance, I sing. I'm not being silly . My daughter lives 50 minutes from me and I like to help her with my 3 grandchildren. I have all our current music on a cd programmed in my car. I have usually memorized all music well before performance. This re...

Wow, Froggie- What a good idea!

My sister-in-law told me a few weeks ago that she has a CPAP machine on her closet shelf; been there for a few years. She didn't like it. So I told her about all the new mask choices like the all cloth masks or the teeny little Wisp. She said she'd look into it. RIGHT-- So yesterday her dear husband...

I watched the original presentation by Dr. Gominak and decided to give a try to raising my D3 level which is currently 49 and climbing. During the last year I also became gluten free. I also started consistent practice of Sue Hitzman's Melt Method. I am 75 with dx. fibromyalgia, RA and assorted auto...

Pretty good synopsis. I'm down about 30 lbs. and dropping. Best, no more more hint of diabetes; All walking aids in the basement; pain med in half and dropping; neuropathy improving. I'm curious- if one changes a lot- even if for the better- does one need a reassessing sleep study?

Rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia plus assorted other aggravations but the major pain causer is peripheral neuropathy. I'm medicated to function with morphine and Aleve; also take Zoloft and Neurontin. No change after 1 yr of BiPAP ; However, after 5 months of no gluten grains, pain meds are halved...

I have RA and a few other auto immune things; also, fibromyalgia. I do take Plaquenil and a few other appropriate meds. Pain is managed with an opiate. I have one replaced knee and fingers that don't all point the same way. I started a grain free eating life style in July in desperation because my f...

At 74 with pre diabetes (medicated), peripheral neuropathy (extremely uncomfortable and medicated with an opiate), weight that would not budge, and several auto immune things, I decided to try the "Wheat Belly" (William Davis) plan- figured it wouldn't kill me in 2 weeks. It did not kill me at all; ...

ChunkyFrog- I have used OraMoist patches for over a year. I put one on the roof of my mouth every night. If I wake up during the night with a dry mouth, I put a squirt of Biotene gel on the patch area. The gel usually stays in place until morning. It has been helpful.

I have peripheral neuropathy which was getting lots worse last summer. I have been using an opiate to manage the pain. In July in desperation I read "Wheat Belly". There were several references to peripheral neuropathy. I figured I wouldn't die if I tried Dr. Davis' eating recommendations for 2 week...

I take the tank out in the AM; empty and let dry or clean with Dawn (uncreamed) and dry. The machine has a chance to dry out, too. The water is fresh every night; I am fortunate to have a R/O unit so I use that treated water. Also, the hoses and mask are cleaned daily. Also, I change both the filter...

Additional comment: During the night the soft gel flattens. Sometimes I feel like I need additional help. I have used a small amount of Biotene gel to augment the Oramoist gel. I have had a scratchy throat and put a Ricola unsweetened cough drop in my mouth; it stayed in place all night. I play arou...

Yes, yes !!

Happy birthday, Mr.Hood
Happy birthday to you...
To make your birthday turn out good,
I send best wishes to you.

Paraphrased from the Little Rascals.. and still rattling around in my brain..probably the rest of you don't remember back that far..
