> Scott, You thought the APA article was a bit confusing? How about parts of your reply.
Which parts?
> Remember I've been on this site for an entire week!
O.K.
You know, it's funny. Regardless of how long I am here, I still never feel like any kind of veteran. I think it is because I was always teased as a kid, and I never felt that I was part of the crowd. (See, I did that all by myself. I didn't need Freud's help - this time). I have been floating around here for about 8 months.
> You've got the ice/heat thing all wrong. For swelling caused by a contusion, it's cold for 24 hours, then heat from then on.
Things change so often. You can eat eggs and saccharine now.
No wonder I haven't been able to ease my bruised ego. The swelling has gone down a bit, though.
> Easy to remember because "c" comes before "h" in the dictionary.
I can't remember my own name sometimes.
> Of course migraines get "cold" only, and arthritis is "heat" only. Nardil causes heat intolerance in some people...so what do arthritic's on Nardil do?!!
Ben Gay. It used to work on T.V., but I haven't seen any infommercials about it yet.
Actually, my grandmother has severe osteoarthritis that has really affected her knees. She is 90yrs and doesn't want to undergo replacement surgery. Do you know anything about how to treat it?
> What the heck is LOL? Person, place or thing?
That is an acronym for "laughing out loud". You are funny, and I enjoyed your humor, so I laughed. "I love to laugh. Ha ha ha. Long and loud and clear". (Might be before your time). I thought I was the only one here who didn't know all of the lingo. That particular one is about all do I know. These things are used to enhance communication on the Internet. You'll see a lot of this sort of thing on newsgroups. I don't know how to go about learning them, so I haven't bothered. Also, symbols like the smily :-) are used for expression. I don't know these either.
> I think at this point I am a member of the Lifelong Nardil Association (LNA), except for my brief hiatus a couple years ago.
I think this is probably wise.
What is your diagnosis? What drugs have you tried? Which ones were you partially responsive to? Which ones made you feel worse?
Being on Nardil, you may want to check your liver enzymes from time to time. This should be done routinely when you get a physical. No big deal though, so don't worry about it. Most drugs are broken down by the liver, so you just want to check things out from time to time. I think doctors may get kickbacks from the labs. :-)
> May I recommend you NEVER let someone give you estrogen/progesterone.......totally psycho response...although psycho people have psycho responses, which this is obviously one because I'm sure you would question ANY doctor that would prescribe female hormones (unless Scott isn't your real name!)
It is now.
> OK, I'm getting out of this goofy mood and going off to bed. Doc appt in the am...should probably get a bit of sleep. Jen
I sincerely doubt that your goofiness disappears upon awakening.
You're fun. Stay well.
