Guest guest Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Thank you for the information. I think up here in Oregon a lot of people are infected by this. I always keep lights on unless it is sunny outside. Next Wednesday is the shortest day of the year, so after that the days are getting longer. Around here it is dark around 4:30 or so. I think I suffer from the opposite, when the days are the longest, I want it to get around 8 that would be perfect. There are some days that it doesn't get dark around here until 10. A cou5ple of years ago we went to St. Louis to visit some friends and I noticed that it seemed to get darker there earlier. So I am wondering if the farther away from the equator the shorter and or longer the days are. Any thoughts on this, or is my mind completely gone lol. Lin -- Re: Laurie There's a disease call SAD and I think I suffer from it just a little I think it's called Seasonal Affective Disorder. As it gets darker earlier and the sun is further away, it affects our mood. It's important to keep lights on in the house and get out if possible. They say sunning beds help with this, but of course it has its disadvantages also! Love, N. No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Thanks for the information Ginny, I have heard of this before but I thought that they had called it something else, maybe it is one of these days that my memory doesn't work too well. I have Katelin here today but she is busy watching blue clues, so Nana is busy addressing a few more Christmas cards, you know those few that sent you one but you didn't send 1 back. So that's been my morning, hope everyone is having a good afternoon, Lin -------Original Message------- Lin, SAD is Seasonal Affective Disorder. It is a depression disorder that comes from lack of sunlight. In the winter they may suffer from symptoms of depression that usually get better in spring and summer and then return during late fall. They sell special lights to help during the winter months to have on you at work and at home during the winter months which seems to help. My aunt suffers from SAD...she has 2 rooms she spends most time in and has the special lights in those rooms. Hugs..Ginny No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Thanks for the Plavix information...it seems any medication my husband takes is bad for the liver. He has several heart stents and I guess the Cardiologists are more concerned about keeping the stents from clogging than end stage liver disease. I am thinking we should go outside the VA health care system. We have Medicare, maybe we should try some new doctors either here in Arkansas or maybe Memphis, Tennessee.

I'm being lazy, not researching, but since others have been on Coumadin - does coumadin have fewer potential side effects for the liver than Plavix? Of course Coumadin requires blood testing and has higher bleeding risk. Thoughts? Joanne (, Ca) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
