Guest guest Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Hi ~ I am glad you had a good day.....I have had a few myself but today, I feel like hammered muk......hopefully after being awake awhile I will feel better...... A full body massage would be absolutely lovely.......I have never had one, but would love one ! They are very good for people that are chronically ill as well as healthy.... Gentle hugs to you...

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 seems to be a great idea ...i was looking up NGOs, as i didn't know exactly what they were and everything they are is everything we are! people of like minds all dealing with the same issue, who deserve to be heard and want to raise awareness. please forgive me, mentally i'm having a chging day. i couldn't remember which faucet was hot and cold when i got in the shower this morning so scary. But how amazing would it be for us all to meet and stand together...or sit, in most of our cases. , you mentioned an electric wheelchair would be of use to you today... i wanted so badly to go help my sis in law pick out a ceiling fan for her new townhouse....i made it to the entrance of the store and had i couldn't go any further...she got me the electric wheelchair. i was so humiliated, but at least i was out and about. i felt like people were looking at me like, why is she on that ?? bev ----- BI education pt 2> > > Silicone gel filled breast implants and connective...[J Rheumatol. 1994] - PubMed Result > http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8182631> J Rheumatol. 1994 Feb;21(2):239-45.Links> > Comment in: J Rheumatol. 1994 Oct;21(10):1979-80. > > Silicone gel filled breast implants and connective tissue disease: an overview.> > Spiera RFSpiera RF, Gibofsky A, Spiera H.> Hospital for Special Surgery, > Cornell University Medical College, New York, NY 10021.> OBJECTIVE. > To review the literature examining the association of silicone gel filled implants and connective tissue disease.> METHODS.
