Guest guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Cort I can see you have a list of meds up the wazoo. You can talk political stuff off the list privately to those who would like to do that. This list is for support of pain and illness of stills. A friendship/kinship place regardless of political or other differences..eg country music vs classical hahha I like to be silly. Anyways, I did some things in the beginning too that needed to be " corrected " : so to speak. This is a great group of friends. You'll see..plenty of people here need help and support ...kindness feels good which ever way you look at it. Hugs Liz **************Planning your summer road trip? Check out AOL Travel Guides.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Greetings Liz, Thanks for your interesting response. Cat wasn't too thrilled with my comments, which she considers to be of a political nature and not to be included in the SD dialogue. I sent her a note back basically stating that as long as medical 'politics' was NOT considered part of the SD agenda there was no wonder why so little research has been conducted in this area. There are now signs on the horizon that America is slowly coming out of its state of multifaceted denial and beginning to face the most difficult challenge of examining its objectively as de Tocqueville did in the 1830s. I think Senator Barack Obama's movement understands this, but times are just too intense and complex on a global scale to support a candidate with so little experience. You ask about: " Are you taking prednisone?? " Oh boy, does that bring up maddening memories from the late 1970s. The answer is no! Did you detect a bit of lingering effect from those times in my writing? My Chief of Staff at the NIH and later in Boston put me on 40 mg of prednisone in about 1977 and it me 14 years to gradually reduce down my dosage until I could finally stop taking it altogether in 1981. How I survived that treatment I'll never fully understand. Cooking, ah yes. I personally like Finnish 'Huki' better known as Pike, Piccarelle, or Muskie in North America. I also like cheese/meat fondues and raclette. There is also a middle eastern dish called Dalmodoes or Dolma in Persian. There are dozens of different recipes using grape leaves filled with all sorts of goodies. And just to think that I thought for so long that only the grapes growing on my vines were of use in the kitchen. As I recall the grape leaves must be soaked overnight in salt water to make then more tender. Hope you can goggle a recipe if you are interested to try this interesting tidbit. You asked about which meds I'm now taking. Most of the those below I'm taking on a daily basis, others as needed. Even doctors blanche when they see this list for the first time. However, after taking my medical history, they are unable to tell me one item that I shouldn't take. I forgot for just two days taking my cardevilol and went into a respiratory failure and nearly died. TWO doctors arrived at my home here in the Netherlands and saved my life. These meds cost approximately $1,000 per month here, where there are price controls in effect (like Canada perhaps) for prescription meds. Don't really think I want to know how much they would cost stateside. Heart Meds Cardevilol Eucardic/Dilatrend (repl. Selokeen ZOC 150mg A.M.) Lipitor (Sortis) Diltiazem 120 mg P.M. (Procorum retard) Mono-Cedocard 50 mg. A.M. (Rocornal) Nitroglycerine Spray 0.4mg / dose Eyes Fucithamic ooggel Vidisec Carbogel Duratears Zelitrex Ultracortenol Pred Forte Tropicamide Fibromyalgie Meds Arcoxia Lyrica OxyContin (OxyNorm) Paracetamol Voltaren K Lung/Allergy Meds Symbicort Turbohaler 400/12 Singulair Xyzal Fluimucil (ACC) Tablets Urogenital Meds Proscar (Omnic 0.4 mg) Gastro-intestine Meds Nexium (repl.Losec Mups 40) Enzym-Lefax (z.n. 3 x 2 tabs per diem) Skin Care Locaid Crme 0,1% Zineryt poeder + solvens (30 ml: 40 mg/ml) Ears, Nose, & Throat Panotile oordruppels Broomhexine HCl 8 mg There are 2 or 3 others that I need to update the list with, but I think this should due, I hope. And you thought that your email was longggggggg! Cort --- lizdaly101@... wrote: > > > Hi Cort > > You gave such an active mind..so much info.
