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.

,

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.

Warm regards to all,

Sherry

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. "
