Guest guest Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 Well, Jim H, I'd already sent 25 cents worth to her... but mine was handled by Dr K's office. Maybe that's why they don't want to do it any more (lol). Carol and I are working on wording, and I've suggested she contact her PCP for help.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 , I am a very infrequent poster, but I need to come out of the woodwork and comment on this. Your book is a truly wonderful idea. I think the idea of a book of quotations is really special for people in chronic pain. Not only would I get it for myself, but I would use it at work as I lead a pain management group (you can believe I am my own best customer for anything I recomend to others). Many people with chronic pain have difficulty focusing and concentrating at different times and the format of a book of quotations is most helpful. I would like to recommend a book that affected me quite profoundly when I read it almost ten years ago: A Whole New Life, by Reynolds Price. He is a novelist who developed a spinal cord tumor. Radiation and surgery arrested the growth of it but left him with chronic pain and essentially a quadriplegic. The book deals with his personal growth and coping, dealing with uncertainty and suffering, and how he ultimately transcended his situation to some degree and returned to his writing. It is some pretty dark and heavy stuff, and certainly not for everyone. I recommend it often, with the caveat that if someone is really uncomfortable reading it, maybe they aren't ready and they should feel free to put it down. On a personal level, it prompted quite a soul search and a wrestle with purpose and meaning, as I read it during a time of increasing limitation and saw doors closing in front of me. It ended up driving me to go back to school, and put me on the journey of school and work which continues to this day.

THIS may answer some of the questions that have been posted regarding preferences for odors. It is a very small part of a larger article that I saw in the Monell Scent Journal from Philadelphia. (I am not sure at this moment of the exact name). ODOR Preference Your genes help determine which perfume you prefer, according to new research. People have long used perfumes to try to boost their sexual attractiveness but whether this is to mask a person's own odor to actually augment and advertise it is not known. To find out, Manfred Milinski at the Max Planck Institute for Limnology in Plon, Germany, and Claus Wedekind, now at the University of Edinburgh, asked 137 male and female students from the University of Bern to sniff 36 scents on paper strips. The strips bore smells such as vanilla, jasmine, lilac and bergamot. The volunteers were asked to consider each scent as a potential perfume they would wear, and rate each fragrance on a scale ranging from " pleasant " to " unpleasant " . Milinski and Wedekind reasoned that if people use perfume to advertise their own smells, there would be a correlation between perfume preference and genes that encode the body's major histocompatibility complex proteins. MHC proteins play an important role in a vertebrate's immune system, and are known to influence body odor. The researchers took blood samples from each volunteer to determine which MHC genes they had. Odor amplification They found that people who shared certain MHC genes tended to like the same scents. When the experiment was repeated two years later, the volunteers' preferences remained largely unchanged. In a paper to be published in Behavioral Ecology, the team says their findings suggest that people pick out perfumes to amplify their body odors - which in turn advertise the genetic make-up of their immune system. Herz, a smell expert at Brown University in Rhode Island, says that the study does not take into account other influences on odor preference. " Learning and familiarity really do play a very strong role in liking and disliking smell, " she says. Adolescent girls and old ladies tend to like different scents, she adds. " But you have the same MHC at 15 as at 75.
