*hugs Kam* I am okay, thank you. How are you and your beloved? Resting up a little after the grueling hospital day?
12:49 am
cybernan

that would be it, jess
12:50 am
Kamanjah

Yep, he says he feels great today, now that all of the "testing" is behind him. I found some of the tests he said made him "feel stupid" onine last night - they were basically a guessing game. He did just fine!
12:51 am
sprite

that is wonderful. And how about yourself, honey?
12:51 am

online, that is...
12:52 am

too tired to find that ca -- good night everyone
12:52 am

night nan
12:52 am
Kamanjah

I'm still tired. I did all the driving yesterday, plus all of dinner. I'm so spoiled to him doing part of the cooking! Which he did tonight. I'll be good tomorrow!
12:52 am
Kamanjah

Night, nan, sleep well!
12:53 am
cybernan

found it! :-)
12:53 am
sprite

*hugs Kam* You are a hero, you know. And a very good sign that he felt up to cooking already again today!
12:55 am
flosey

picked up a few but too tired tonight, will et back at it tomorrow, good night all
12:55 am
Kamanjah

He bounces back quickly! Yay him! I think fibro bites longer, but not as hard as PD does. At least there are drugs that are effective part of the time for PD, have found nothing that works for fibro except magnesium.
12:56 am
sprite

*hugs flosey* Good evening, dear lady, and good night. Sleep well :)
12:56 am
Kamanjah

Night Flosey, sweet dreams!
12:56 am
sprite

Kam, you might want to ask rose about that. She is a long time FM sufferer and has found some solutions.
12:58 am
Kamanjah

Medicine in her country is far ahead of the US. Most first world countries are ahead - our FDA is too tied into Big Pharma to be good for regular people
12:59 am
sprite

yeah I know. But there might be some options that are open to you too. I know she just found a new regime that seems to work wonders. Worth checking out!
1:00 am
Kamanjah

I was diagnosed back in 89, am using what is available that works, nothing specific to FM that is ok'd by FDA - the federal dumb a** agency
1:01 am
Kamanjah

I do ok, it just is taking longer to bounce back as I get older
1:02 am
sprite

make sure rose tells you what she is taking right now, Kam. And ask your GP. There might be options that will ease your life... worth checking out, I think :)
1:04 am
Kamanjah

ok, I'll ask her. My GP is really liberal with alternatives, but no infusions happen in this country. My chiropractor is the one who helps most.
1:04 am
Kamanjah

ok, I'll ask her. My GP is really liberal with alternatives, but no infusions happen in this country. My chiropractor is the one who helps most.
1:05 am
sprite

yeah, that is why it occurred to me to tell you. Rose has found meds that might render the infusions unneeded.
1:07 am
Kamanjah

My browser is acting up, need to restart. I don't think I have her email, will check.
1:08 am
sprite

okay :) if you do not have it, I do and I know she is okay with me giving it to you.
1:09 am
sprite

or, I could email her and give her your addy, whichever you prefer
1:11 am
Kamanjah

OK, back, it just fell right out of memory! I think I have her email at gmail - name.xxx# ? Sound right? I didn't put a name on that address in my list.
1:12 am
sprite

yes, that is the one!
1:13 am
Kamanjah

yay! I'll ask.
1:13 am
sprite

it would be awesome if you could benefit from her experience *fingers crossed*
1:14 am
Kamanjah

Always open to new info!
1:15 am
sprite

amen, sistah! Me too. Babble is such a knowledge base, so many different disciplines represented and so many smart people.
1:16 am
Kamanjah

So true! I love the people I've met here. Such a cross section of the world, which no one finds in their own town.
1:16 am
sprite

lol, I think my husband has actually managed to pick the coldest weekend for us to go camping and canoeing. Not only is it freezing quite stiffly, we also have snow now. I am starting to second-guess the wisdom of going.
1:17 am
Kamanjah

I say postpone for safety! DH had me postpone my chiro appt for Thurs due to prediction of lots of snow...and a 55 mile drive each way. I'm going next week instead.
1:18 am
sprite

I agree. And most players are by definition smart people. Also, by far most babblers are nice people. The friendly chog and the helpfulness here are not found in many other internet places
1:19 am
Kamanjah

I've been snowed in at re-enactment events, it's too cold and wet to camp unless you have an RV with a good heater! Canoeing in ice won't work too well if the water freezes...
1:19 am
sprite

I will leave it up to him. He is in the midst of a burnout atm. If he wants to go, I'll go with him and we will brave the elements together. But right now, I kinda hope he will want to postpone.
1:20 am
Kamanjah

You're brave! I'm glad to see you supporting him and his needs tho
1:21 am
sprite

it is a river, flowing rather strongly, so I think it won't be frozen yet. But freezing, ugh. We do not have an RV, just a tent. A tipi, though, and a possibility for a heater inside, so we'll probably be able to heat the tent pretty well. Ah well, we'll see. I gladly be cold for a few days if it means he can do something he truly enjoys.
1:22 am
sprite

always have, always will. It is part of our bond, I think, to always support eachother's dreams and goals.

Kamanjah

A tipi is better than a tent by far, and a river won't hang you in ice as much as our lakes...but I assume it's a safe place as far as rocks and not bottoming out?
1:24 am
Kamanjah

Yes, the bond is special. We were talking about our 'bucket list' places today.
1:24 am
sprite

yes, it is safe that way, although the reason we were going in the first place was the series of rapids there. Not too bad, but with rapids there is always a chance of tipping over. I'd truly hate to be immersed in freezing water, lol
1:24 am
sprite

oh wow. Have you decided on the next one to visit?
1:28 am
Kamanjah

I'm such a weather wimp! I hate wet and cold. No, undecided at the moment, but looking seriously at Alaska. I have to get a passport though, if we have to go thru Canada. I never needed one before because I never had the chance to leave the country...and his just expired. He's already been to several of my bucket list spots - Jerusalem and the pyramids.
1:29 am
Kamanjah

Well, if you go, be safe and don't tip over!
1:29 am
sprite

time to both get your passports then :)
1:30 am
grannyrose

cooee .... that's me {{sprite}} {{kam}} ugs

*hugs rose* Hello my dear friend :) How was your day and how are you doing?
1:31 am
Kamanjah

He wants to see bears. I want to catch salmon. We'll go in summer when the days are looong
1:31 am
sprite

then better watch out for bears catching salmon
1:32 am
Kamanjah

hahaha
1:33 am
grannyrose

after lenten studies we did a little supermarket shopping, then home to fall in our chairs in front of the A/C
1:33 am
sprite

wise move, honey. Best place to be for the both of you atm.
1:35 am
grannyrose

and i only realised today, saturday we have the church stall at the local supermarket, and i haven't had time to organise anyone else to sell the raffle tickets. *sigh* so it is himself and moi on the tables yet again. grrr
1:36 am
sprite

aw rose, you still have a couple of days. Call some people and shame them into doing something for a change. You need to watch yourself, can't be overdoing things in that heat with that heart of yours, sweetie. Please.
1:39 am
grannyrose

i will be inside with the A/C. and i just feel the FM fog building.
1:40 am
grannyrose

btw, Kam. did i see a reference to my current treatment for FM?
1:40 am
sprite

..... mumble mumble headstrong woman....
1:42 am
Kamanjah

yes,rose
1:44 am
grannyrose

well i have sourced magnesium malate 1250mg, 5-HTP 50mg and melatonin 3mg/5X. all from america. i take one of each, every night.
1:46 am
Kamanjah

Mag malate is my #1 - 425g mag and 2.5g malic acid. The other two don't work with my system, tried them with adverse results.
1:47 am
grannyrose

ahhhh, that's so not good.
1:47 am
Kamanjah

Plus a load of other supplements
1:47 am
Kamanjah

I'll email you
1:48 am
grannyrose

try upping the dosage of magnesium. and go lalalala when your gp says your magnesium levels are too high. um, hello. they need to be high to control FM. besides you pee most of it out almost at once.
1:49 am
Kamanjah

I take mag glycinate too...doc knows and encourages it, plus 10000 IU D3
1:50 am
grannyrose

what happened with the 5-HTP and melatonin?
1:50 am
Kamanjah

I do ok, I just get tired after 10 hours days of doc appts that are 1 1/2 hr drives each way. DH used to drive, but now I've taken over freeway routes.
1:52 am
Kamanjah

got super hyper and couldn't sleep
1:53 am
sprite

I get hyper from melotonine as well
1:53 am
grannyrose

hmmmm, when /what time of day did you take them?
1:54 am
Kamanjah

hour before bed
1:54 am
Kamanjah

Then tried htp in AM and got sleepy. I'm upside down.
1:54 am
sprite

fireflies. A big *hug* for you both, dear girls. Sleep well, and rest up, and keep on taking good care of yourselves.
1:55 am
Kamanjah

Hugs, Sprite!!
1:55 am
grannyrose

WTG SPRITE !!!
1:55 am
grannyrose

xoxox honey. hope your day is kind to you.
1:57 am
grannyrose

there is no mention of hyper on all the melatonin sites. with FM your body does not produce endorphins, melatonin or seratonin.
1:58 am
grannyrose

well, for what it's worth, i take all three at night and i have started sleeping again. maybe it's the act of taking all three at the same time ?? it's possible.
2:00 am
Kamanjah

Actually, am working with doc to see if it's something besides FM - I have no fog. It's not responsive to any antidepressants - they make me depressed. I finally got off of them and am SO much better!
2:00 am
grannyrose

the other thing i was taking, which these three replace, was a herbal treatment called Anatrin. and yes, those three ingredients are in it, but there are three other ingredients which may offset the 'side effects' of the three.
2:02 am
grannyrose

well FM is the other side of the coin to chronic fatigue and or PTSSD
2:04 am
Kamanjah

I was diag with all three, so I don't really think FM is right, it's CFS that knocks me
2:05 am
grannyrose

hmmmm, have you and your doc considered ketamine infusions?
2:06 am
Kamanjah

not even a consideration in the US
2:06 am
grannyrose

really ?? how come??
2:06 am
Kamanjah

Anyone with chronic pain is a victim of the FDA and their war on drugs
2:07 am
Kamanjah

doctors are afraid of losing their licenses
2:08 am
grannyrose

that's so sad honey. over here they have just made i law, if you want analgesia containing codeine you must have a doc's prescription.
2:09 am
grannyrose

but the usage of ketamine has been approved for use with some psychiatric patients, and chronic pain patients.
2:10 am
Kamanjah

we have to jump thru hoops to get a month's worth of any opiate
2:11 am
Kamanjah

and if it's acute pain, they only allow 5-7 days worth of mes
2:11 am
Kamanjah

meds
2:11 am
grannyrose

it's such a pity that the few bad apples spoil the benefits for the rest of the barrel.
2:13 am
Kamanjah

the gov't doesn't care about people with legitimate pain. All are labeled addicts and it is so unfair! Just last week, a 70 year old man had his meds cut off, and he was crying for help...no doctor would take him on. It's terrible here.
2:13 am
grannyrose

going to prepare meds for the next 24 ours. keep that gorgeous chin up, Kam. you will come out on top soon, i am sure of it. hugs for you both.
2:14 am
Kamanjah

But that's a rant for another day...it's not going to change under the current conditions.
2:14 am
grannyrose

ahem *hours* evn... loll
2:14 am
Kamanjah

OK, you have a great day...or night...don't know what time it is 'down under.'
2:15 am

nearly 7:30pm. and i am yawning like anything already.

You need to hit CONTROL + F5. Unless you are on a Mac, in which case I cannot advise you.
11:21 am
MollyL

Maybe CMD + R. Whatever a hard refresh is on a Mac.
11:23 am
bichon

I don't have a f5 key, nor a command key. Not using a Mac
11:24 am
moolingwa

F5 is typically above the 5, and CONTROL is typically labeled CTRL and is down in the bottom left and bottom right of the keyboard
11:25 am
moolingwa

You can also probably do hold down CTRL and hit the refresh icon on whatever browser you're using
11:25 am
bichon

Definitely don't have any of that. Have a Lenovo
11:25 am
moolingwa

If you use Google Chrome, you'll see an icon up in the top left, that looks like a 3/4 circle with an arrow head on one end
11:26 am
bichon

But, it's ok
11:26 am
moolingwa

If you have a Lenovo, running Windows, then you will have it, though our descriptions might not be very good
11:27 am
moolingwa

Here's the lenovo keyboard: https://tinyurl.com/yc7gba5q

On that Picture, the CTRL key is just to the right of the red key in the bottom right
11:27 am
bichon

I looked at Mr. Bich's keyboard [a Dell] and it has it. Not I
11:29 am
moolingwa

Ah, the F5 probably is written in red on the top row
11:30 am
moolingwa

At any rate, you don't need F5, if you know how to click on your browser refresh icon...you can then just hold CTRL and click on the refresh icon
11:30 am
bichon

my eyesight is going. It's very small
11:31 am
moolingwa

yeah...
11:31 am
bichon

Yes, that worked, ty
11:31 am
moolingwa

They try to cram a lot in on those (I assume) laptop keyboards
11:31 am
MollyL

I have a Lenovo at work. Your computer brand has nothing to do with how you refresh. It's your operating system.
11:32 am
moolingwa

We're talking about how the keys are labeled, they tend to vary by manufacturer
11:33 am
MollyL

I know and I'm looking at photos of Lenovo laptop keyboards and they all have CTRL and F5
11:33 am
moolingwa

We have established that I believe :)
11:34 am
bichon

It's really tiny. Not great for my eyes
11:34 am
moolingwa

The labeling on Bichon's keyboard was small for the function keys, which was the challenge
11:35 am
MollyL

Anyway...Bich...can you see Nan's icon now?
11:36 am
bichon

Yup, ty for your input
11:39 am
MollyL

Most of the time, computer stuff like that is easier to figure out if someone shows you.

Oh yeah Bich, I remember you saying you liked coffee flavored milk.

I can't do spirits in coffee. Still remember the morning 40+ years ago after a binge of Irish coffees. I have never been sicker.

We're both tea drinkers in a world of coffee. I like coffee ice cream. I just find black too bitter

mattygroves

Evening all. It's snowy here, which is a nightmare as London has no clue how to deal with it - no-one shovels or even sweeps (cuz let's face it, it's not that much snow) it here, so it's like an ice rink
1:25 pm
mattygroves

May I have stats, please, for the E in the first column, third row?
1:25 pm
ch1212

to wear away, as in earth
1:26 pm
ch1212

oh darn it! SORRY! you asked for stats! er5
1:26 pm
Deeha

hi Matty everyone seems to have snow - except us down on East corner!
1:26 pm
mattygroves

Thanks! (Though stats would have done, but thanks for the clue)
1:26 pm
mattygroves

It's pretty to look at, a nightmare to get around in. I'm near Windsor and work in London
1:27 pm
ch1212

Can you use public transport and leave the car at home?
1:28 pm
mattygroves

I do - always! I took the car to the station (lazy as it's only a mile away, but the walk would have been cold and icy)
1:28 pm
mattygroves

The trains are...troubled, though, in any semi poor weather. Understand when I say snow (and they're calling this storm 'the Beast from the East!), we're talking at most, in London, 2 inches and probably not even that
1:28 pm
mattygroves

London just doesn't know how to handle it
1:29 pm
mattygroves

Kinda like Portland (where I lived for 2 years in my early 20s)
1:29 pm
ch1212

The snow is so beautiful... until the next day when it's turned sooty and dirty and slushy.

Understand -- I've lived in places where snow is a rarity, and everything stops with 1/2 inch! Yes, Portland!

1:31 pm

Actually, Deeha, I think that would make it easier for them as no-one would be able to mobilise!
1:32 pm
Deeha

true - we'ed all be huddled round heaters saying'can't go out in this. Having a duvet day'!!
1:34 pm
mattygroves

Exactly that! And the trains would shut down and probably even there'd be the wrong kind of snow for the tanks
1:35 pm
suefrad625

i cant see and more c's. I am c blind. I cant believe i found 25 of them
1:35 pm
Deeha

definitely wrong sort of snow for tanks!!
1:36 pm
mattygroves

It's amazing, walking around London (rather, walking from Waterloo to my office) the inappropriate footwear you see on people.
1:37 pm

it sounds like here in concord NC when it snows
1:37 pm
Deeha

1:37 pm

1:38 pm
suefrad625

Apparently, according to the NY Times, during the last severe winter storm late last year in New York, there was a run on bread, milk and kale. Go figure

8:35 pm

ok i looked it up and apparently it HAS been used as a word, either meaning like a smelly mangy dog, or like a car that is in parallel condition
8:35 pm

but the quotes that wiktionary cited where the word was used... none of them were from anything that i've read
