Guest guest Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 OK! I'm back from my trip to Tribest. Here's the scoop. There are three settings on the Soyabella. Only two of which are heated. If you use the heated setting the temperature reaches boiling and will kill the germ. However, you can make your nut milks without heating. I asked about nut butter and they didn't know but will run a test next week when they have more time and e-mail me the results. Which I will forward to you loyal sprouters. In the mean time go to their web site and check out all the goodies. Look at the books they have. If you see something you like, see if your local public library has it. This is my helpful friend Mia's e-mail. She is willing to help you and answer your questions: mia.lunasco@.... If you call 888-254-7336 ext 104, you can talk to her direct. Don't forget to say 'hi' for me. PS, she knows me as Ernie. ew Re: Hi new to the group Date: Sat, 9 Aug 2008 19:21:46 -0400 Hey Ernest~ I just went back over to the site, and noticed that it makes sesame paste too, which for me is *totally awesome*. Would you mind asking them if it makes nut-butter, while you are over there seeing the demo? I'd really love being able to make batches of tahini (sesame paste) and other seed & nut-butters larger than what my coffee grinder will do! My blender won't do it, and I cracked the spindle on a food processor doing it, years ago! :~) Thia On Sat, Aug 9, 2008 at 7:13 PM, Thia .... <bipolyf@...> wrote: > WOW!!

Welcome to the group . You may want to describe to the group your injuries like you did to me in your application. Have you received any help from the other drivers insurance or yours? Have any operations or procedures been suggested to you? Even though you are very young if you are truly unable to work have you considered SSDI? It would be very tough to get at your age, but if you have the medical records to back it up, you may stand a chance with a good lawyer. And you can get a SSDI lawyer who will work for free, they don't get paid unless you win your case. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always deny on the first try. Get a lawyer who specializes in SSDI. I used the ones who advertise on TV, Binder & Binder. I had to stay on top of them, but in the end they sent a great lawyer to represent me at my hearing and I won on appeal. They cost me nothing up front. Their fees are capped by the SSDI rules. They get a max of about $4500. It took me 2.5 years to win from the time I filed. I got a back due amount of about $21K and I cleared around $16.5K plus then monthly payments. Now the big thing is how much you have paid into SSI by working. If this happened at age 19, you can't have paid in too much over your young life. But you are due some help if you can't work. Do you not trust you current lawyer? You need as much medical history information to back up your claims. That's what wins cases.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 thank you!! No they didnt get him. he told the police that he left his keys in the truck and the doors unlocked and when he got up to go to work the car was gone but didnt report the car stolen until after the police officer talked to him about hitting me. I don't have a lot of medical support because no one wants to treat someone when they have no money, no job and can't get one. but i have lots of friends and family that are writing letters or coming to my hearing with me. Maybe they can make up for the doctors not willing to help and support me. IF THEY WONT GIVE ME SSI THIS HEARING THEN I WILL KEEP APPEALING UNTIL THE GET TIRED OF ME AND JUST GIVE IT TO ME.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 SSI is a bit tougher than SSDI because you can not have any assets to qualify.. I am so sorry about your back but I imagine you hear that a lot and it does not help.. The group has helped me and I hope you get some relief here.. I hate the saying " misery loves company " but at least here you will find people on this site that have a similar issue as your own.. But to be as young as you are is a really bitter pill, I hope that maybe the medical realm will someday be able to help you beyond just giving you pain pills.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Also, I would make sure you have a torough understanding of what your lawyer will charge. Although they may say you will not be charged unless they/you win, sometimes they do hold you responsible for what they call incidental expenses. For instance, gathering information or phone calls on your behalf.. Good luck Tom In a message dated 2/7/2009 11:47:47 P.M.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Hi, my name is Phyllis and I just joined today. I've been diagnosed since 2003. Of course I suspect I've had RA longer. I'm sero negative so my RA was discovered through surgery to remove Rheumatoid nodules. I have this in pretty much all the joints. My knee is osteoarthritis. I have little use of my left thumb. The doctor suggests joint replacement. I read about having leg cramps. I also take magnesium daily and it does help the stop the cramps. I've been taking it for 16 years now. I started with sulfasalazine and mobic, separately. Of course neither worked and I began using mtx and folic acid. I switched doctors and he included mobic to the mix. I take 6 pills per week. 15mg. I usually take them before bed to sleep off any side effects. It seems to help. I've had throat problems that I always suspected was from the RA. Recently a friend sent me a link that mentions Cricoarytenoid arthritis. I'm going to ask my doctor about this when I see him in two weeks. That's the short of it.
