Guest guest Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 Hi Janet, Lorri, and Rose, My daughter is 15 and she has had a tough time being able to attend school because of illness and allergies to the school environment. It has been tough for her to make any friends at the high school (she is a freshman). I think she would enjoy talking to other girls who are going through the same problems.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 It seems kinda like the day before a really bad next few days that you're really tired, disoriented, weak and sore all over. I think i've noticed too, that the metallic taste on my tongue is a sure bet that i'll feel like hell for a few days. The next day is waking up scared early in the morning, because you can't breathe and it feels like your lungs are gonna stop working if you don't stay awake and make yourself take deep breaths........you can't get up to go outside for fresh air or to the kitchen to breathe boiling water or even roll over because your limbs throb but are numb at the same time. You feel like your heart's beating out of your tight, full of something chest and you'll die any minute but can't let it happen because you've gotta at least make it to the bathroom for the diarrhea first. The taste and the smell of everything, including yourself....hair and clothes and skin is horrible and only makes you more nauseous. There's alot of sinus drainage along with extreme dryness in your throat and nasal passages.....you cough until you vomit, you're weak and shakey and can barely stand up for days. Other things happen....sweats then chills, burning sensations around your mouth, off-the-wall sharp shooting pains here and there, extreme dizziness and flu-like pain and stiffness in your back, neck and head. The good news is, they make Nyquil for flu symptoms.....the bad news is....it ain't the flu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 It doesn't get any easier than this. I put a 3 pound brisket in my small (1.5) crockpot and covered it with R.W. Knudsen's Very Veggie Vegetable Cocktail from concentrate. This is the health store version of V8 I think, and contains water, tomato paste, organic vegetable juices (carrot, celery, parsley, beet, lettuce, watercress, spinach), organic vinegar, concentrated organic lemon juice, sea salt and dehydrated organic bell peppers. I added 3 bay leaves and 4 cloves of garlic, but am not sure I would bother next time. That's it! Salt and pepper to taste when eating. Reheats beautifully. My brisket was from an organic cow, so needed a lot of cooking. I cooked on slow about 6 hours and refrigerated overnight. Skimmed off the fat, and put it back on to simmer the next day. Super tender and very tasty. Betsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Sounds wonderful Betsy. I'd like to try it. How long did you let it cook the next day? Would 10 hours total be enough? I have a crock pot with 4, 6, 8, and 10 hours for cooking time.
