Alternative Meds

Is there anyone out there that is on any type of Alternative Meds or are most of you on TX?  Would like some feed back.  I am trying to decide which root to go.  I am so scared of TX.  Also is anyone out there on TX and continuing to work and not be deathly ill?

LMAO.... I cracked up over your post...
Spookie looking back at some of that stuff...
(Leave it to you to master the art of digging up the archieves) Ha!
I had to quit doing that, (cause I kept running across stuff I'd RATHER FORGET ABOUT) LoL

I remember poor ol Audrey going thru that like it was yesterday.... It was so horrible for her.... but I mean... when things get so bad... what else can you do but laugh, or attempt to make light of it... She had such a GREAT Attitude!!!

I have always thought that being able to share laughter, thru some of these gruesome sx's ... Is GOOD for the Soul... I think laughter within itself, can be healing!!!

BTW....What ever happened to Harley Dude Too????

Ivette,
I Agree... I wish folks would at least check in... or have family let us know... Cindee was such a sweetie pie & I just LUVED her to death... & she just absolutely vanished (without a trace) I mean with no reason, prewarning.... nothing... zilch!!!

cindee is another one MIA, I wish she would check in, how would we know if something bad happened to one of us? maybe we should direct a relative or friend to post for us on the board should we become incapacitated? Cindee was a regular and then she completely stopped. It is worrisome.

I'm quite sure everyone here was deranged well before they began treatment.   Please don't let our example deter you but rather inspire you to greater heights of absurdity.   And never forget our group motto:  BAD LIVERS = BAD PUNS.

Califia,,,Yes,,,the way everyone here is such avid gardners,,,can you imagine the land if we all put our gardens together.  And of course Rev had Babs working the cornfields.....haha We could have a hep commune,,,take your pills and eat your own produce!  Hepville,,,Cure All!  LOL

Yep, Cuteus is right:  you're morphing!   Losing your short-term memory, playing in the mud,  all the usual symptoms of interferon addiction.   Takes one to know one, of course...    Myself, I always return to the house after a long stint in the backyard with my face completely coated with dirt no matter _what_ I've been doing out there.  Never fails. Looks an awful lot like military camouflage....for my private war on the weeds and aphids.    My snooty neighbor, by contrast,  flits around in her forties picture hat and white linen gardening outfits like something out of a Smith and Hawkins catalogue, a truly revolting sight.   Of course she had her garden INSTALLED for her and never digs her own holes, God forbid.  But it sounds like you and I have the same approach to all things horticultural.  Can you imagine what would happen if all of us shared a community garden plot?  I can guarantee you the lunacy would never stop.  Too bad there's a continent between us.

Hope your little bird flies home soon.

Johnny Cash... LoL... where in the heck did I get ELVIS From???? Hummmm... now I'll have that TRAIN song in my mind all day!!

Chev...
I remember "thepoet"... his wife was not being very supportive while he was on tx, but bless his heart, he always made the best of it!

Ivette, & Califia....
"Scharfen Berger"..... That SOUNDS Funny... It actually "sounds" like a Dark, Semi-Sweet, Rich German Chocolate.....Where's MINE??? LoL...

I actually have a BORING GIANT Hershey Bar in my Freezer that a girlfriend bought me a month or so ago when she visited Hershey Pennsylvania!!! However, not to be ungrateful, but it is PLAIN... I like nuts, raisons, coconut, & stuff mixed in with my chocolate.. maybe I'll chop up my candy bar & make chocolate chip cookies with it.. Ha!

Ive...
Yes, I printed out 2 page colored flyers (over 150 of them) & stuck them in all the neighborhood mailboxes... (That's how I found out it is illegal to do that) The mailman "Let" me Get Away with it this time... but infomed me you have to leave it outside the mailbox.... that inside the box, items become federal property??? I guess I should have known that (since I have a brother who works for the postal service)..... I just never thought about it!!!!

Okay... now that post of Don's is driving me NUTS.... I'm gonna feel like a FOOL when I find it... Ha!

Ivette,
Thanks for that link... I lost it & couldn't find it again. Spent some time reading it this afternoon.

I bet you  did enjoy meeting him, He seems like such an interesting person, & he  definitely has a way with words.... I could soooo RELATE to much of his writings!

I still swear I read somewhere that he had come back negative on the 6 month PCR... I really MUST be loosing it, or not absorbing what I read anymore.. LoL

*******************************************************

Honey,
LoL.... Ol PeeBee, Balrog, & Sam Hall wasn't it.... That man used to tickle me to death!

Wonder what ever happened to him, & IF he ever got those WHALE bones he wanted from off the beach... Didn't he buy an authentic ELVIS outfit when he was on his "TX Spending Spree"??? Tee Hee!!!

What a Cast Of Characters we used to have in here!!!

He is a very nice man, and a very accomplished writer.  He can really carry a debate with grace and logic. I envy that.
Now you got ME wondering if I missed his post somewhere! lol.

I have already met two people from the HCV boards and I am very pleased I did. I am hoping to meet amerabrit, and those that might go to the March in June. Wish you could go. I did not have the energy last year and with Reagan dying that same weekend, I felt the media exposure would be limited.  I am hoping this year will be better.

Did you put posters out for Green Bird, or contact the vets in the area, or shelters?
How sad your friend did not return.  I hope he is ok.

Squishy feet, I knew it! you are morphing already!

When I started cruising this site last spring before I started tx I found all  the personal dialogue pretty interesting.  What an incredible cast of characters!    I absolutely agree that there's enough bandwidth for everyone, for the old folks sitting around the rec room complaining about their aches and pains and the newbies knocking anxiously at the front door.   Btw, did you know that  there's a world-class chocolate factory in my home town?   Heh heh.   Looks like I'm here for good!
