Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

Congrats Lizardo!!!






Yeah, she did it! But I gotta mail it.

Ok, I just got a weird call from my sis. My parents' garage burned down a couple of weeks ago. To the ground, no cause found. They had to buy a new (used) car to replace their nice, burnt truck.
Yesterday my dad takes the car to go to store and discovers their outside dog Blackie, killed and stuffed beneath the front seat, he had been there long enough for maggots and smell, so much it will have to be totaled.
My folks are the nicest people ever, living their retirement in small town, no problems ever. WTH!!! I'm in shock! Suspect crazy ex sis-in-law though she's been out of family 20 years!!! They got robbed when they first moved there and they always suspected her...crazy. This stuff doesn't happen to people like me and mine!!
Sorry to hear about what has happened to them.Get police report's and document everything and possibly have them get an outside video recorder.

My grandpas neighbor caught a wounded fox one time and put it in a cage way out back until it healed up enough to release it and hunt it......... I was so into caring for critters that I would sneak back there and feed it and eventually got it so tame it would eat from my hand and let me pet it through the cage............. The day they released it my mom got a phone call and learned a few new words.. They got everyone together with their hunting dogs and went to relese it and it ran to them wanting to be loved and petted!!!!! LMAOLMAO

After 20 years of Drs "guessing" what is wrong with me and the ones that feel it is possibly an auto immune response I finally got an out of state DR ( from Cali) to give me the closest thing to a diagnoses I have had. ALL my symptoms hit at once and he ran kidney and liver tests and the numbers were off the charts!!!! Most Auto immune disorders like Lupus and Lyme and MS only show up during a flare up. My usual Dr told me I had veinous insuffuciencey and ordered old lady stockings and water pills. I went in on her day off and got the new guy. I told him the water pills dont work even when I doubled them and he got worried. I told him drinking a pot of extra strong coffee worked alot better so thats why he ordered the kidney tests and they found trouble. I go next Monday to find out what the tests results mean.
Theyve suspected Lupus for years and I have to exfoliate and moisturize my face daily or it gets flakey and I did have Lymes disease when I was trapsing all over the mountains around Seattle in the 80's (stupid ticks!) but theyve also thought it was reumalogical too. With a diagnosis they can treat it!!!!
On the plus side its not the veinous insufficiency (told them as much) but it took my kideys failing to finally get somewhere. Maybe now I can finally get rid of the pain and other symptoms so I feel really good about it

I am happy for you..hug..at least you have something solid to go on now instead of alot of guessing.
A friend took me to a rave bar once,I didn't really even know what that was,all I knew was that she was taking me to a bar that had a dance floor filled with foam and we wore our bathing suit's,was fun but I will mark that off my list.

It's a good thing your reg doc was out! Now it sounds like they can get somewhere with a diagnosis and treatment, I hope so! Don't know a thing about lupus, but if it's treatable that's great!

The possibility of a true diagnosis is certainly something to celebrate!

I hope you finally get the treatment that you need. I know firsthand the frustration and suffering you can go through when you are misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all. Both my wife and I have been through this(seperate problems) and had just about given up on the medical establishment. We both ended up going to Rochester to specialists at Mayo.
