Re: Whacha readin?
I also liked the Theory of Everything. I tried to read a Brief History of Time some years back and probably only got 1/4 of it. I prefer fiction and have been reading a lot of historical fiction lately. Right now I'm reading "The Nightengale" by Kristin Hannah. I think it's well written an...

Re: Temperature Shock
I live in a hot climate but I still use an electric blanket and I preheat my bed before I get in. When I wake in the night with leg issues (usually twitching) after stretching and walking I stand on the AC vent (mine is in the floor) until my feet are somewhat chilled and then get back in bed. It's ...

Re: Medical Marijuana
Hi Guys! I've been trying to read through the posts I've missed and as always have come across some great stuff! Peggy, I love your recipe for mj oil! I want to try that but I'm not sure how to cover up the smell... Florida still hasn't progressed much on that or any other front. I have been working...

Re: Probiotics - article illustrates difficulty with supplem
It looks like Australia is doing some research on gut bacteria and weight: m In the meantime I was motivated by Ann and I am making some sauerkraut! I was a Media Specialist for 25 years and one of my primary responsibilities was teaching information literacy which included Website Evaluation. I'm s...

Re: Probiotics - article illustrates difficulty with supplem
Interesting article Ann. Thanks. I do not waste my money any more by buying expensive probiotics in health food stores and agree with much of what was written. I am a bit suspicious (as is my nature) because I remember reading some time back bad press about Vox.com and their writers lack of objectiv...

Re: TENS stimulation for WED/RLS: Effective parameters
I bought my tens machine-7000 through Amazon for $25.00. It has helped me with muscle cramps and twitching. My usual placement is my low back and I use the 2 other pads on one calf, then the other. I can not tell which is positive and which is negative as there are no markings. I also bought the sep...

Re: Medical Marijuana
Hi Crazy Joe. Fatigue especially muscle fatigue can be a cause of fasciculations (twitching) It's a Catch 22. Twitching keep us from sleeping and lack of sleep may cause twitching! Fasciculations can also be a calcium and/or Magnesium deficiency or from a number of diseases. Thanks NatWest. It's goo...

Re: Medical Marijuana
Hey Crazy Joe. Not be able to sleep has probably been the biggest problem I have had with my symptoms. Everyone one of the "prescribed" drugs I have taken that help me sleep have a trade off the next day. Whether it be feeling hung over, lack of energy, memory problems, etc. None of them w...

Re: Medical Marijuana
You have to show proof you are a resident in CA. At least that was what I was told when I called to set up an appointment.

Re: Magnesium........does it help??
I wish you had been my chemistry teacher Steve! That was a great explanation. I was told that info by someone I thought was credible. I agree Ann it's hard to know who or what to trust.

Re: Medical Marijuana
It takes about an hour to get a mm card in Cali. It's not cheap. I think it was $175 for a year.
