The Brand of Dehumidifier to NEVER, NEVER EVER Buy!!!

*Warning ~ Adult Language

I am about to do some well deserved ranting about a product that we have had for almost 16 months that should definitely last years longer than that. This product is our dehumidifier for our basement and it quit working already, it gets no power whatsoever. Nice, right?! I pulled the product manual and unfortunately it only had a "one year limited warranty," how nice!

Private Selection Texas BBQ Signature Rub Review




I am usually one of those people who boil their ribs before they put them on the grill with some BBQ sauce. I do this for a couple of reasons, I do not have very much patience when it comes to cooking. I cannot stand to watch the grill. If I am grilling, I am usually also cooking something else at the same time and running inside and outside is not my thing so boiling them first cuts down the time greatly.

Are Researchers Getting Closer To Understanding #Fibromyalgia?

           This is good news for us who suffer from Fibromyalgia. I just came across this article that was published June 19, 2013 and it excites me. I know that I don't have Fibro as severe as some people do but the older that I get the more that my Fibro progresses and this I hate. I have tried losing weight thinking that it would help my symptoms to only find out that they didn't change. I tried changing my eating habits to only find out that it didn't help either. I tried swimming and walking to only find out again, no help with symptoms, only some aggravation of my fibro but my overall health was better. So in that case the good outweighed the bad.

Yahoo! Contributor Network
Researchers have discovered a potential biological basis for fibromyalgia in patients' skin. Current treatment uses medications that act solely within the brain. It brings varying degrees of relief. 

Scientists at Integrated Tissue Dynamics LLD (Intidyn) reported their findings in the journal Pain Medicine. Their work was part of an Albany Medical College study on fibromyalgia. The researchers found a unique pathology in the skin of female patients, one they believe could be the biological basis of the mysterious condition, says Medical News Today. 

According to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), fibromyalgia symptoms can include muscle pain, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, headaches, painful menstrual periods, stiffness in the morning, numbness or tingling in the hands or feet, and cognitive problems sometimes referred to as "fibro fog." The disorder affects around 10 million Americans who are at least 18. Eighty to 90 percent are women, NIAMS says. The Intidyn study included only subjects who were women. 

The Mayo Clinic reports that the primary medications prescribed are analgesics, anti-seizure drugs, and antidepressants. Medical providers often encourage patients to make lifestyle changes to reduce stress, get regular exercise, get enough sleep, eat and drink healthy foods and beverages, and pace themselves as far as energy level goes. Some patients use alternative therapies like yoga, acupuncture, tai chi, and massage therapy to manage pain and stress. 

Based on earlier work, the Intidyn team knew that current drugs were designed to work on molecules found in the brain and that similar molecules had a role in how nerve endings on blood vessels work. The research confirmed their hypothesis that fibromyalgia could be based on a pathology involving blood vessels.

Using a special microscope, they studied skin biopsies from the palms of their fibromyalgia subjects. They noted a big jump in sensory nerve fibers at certain sites that are small muscular valves in the skin's blood vessels. The valves are called arteriole-venule (AV) shunts and occur only in the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. 

In the hand, they play a role in regulating body temperature, opening to permit blood to bypass capillaries and save heat and causing the hands to get cold. Under cold conditions, the shunts become especially active, perhaps a reason why the cold bothers fibromyalgia patients so much. The pathology the scientists discovered among the AV shunts and the resulting alteration of blood flow could also be the source of achiness, muscle pain, poor sleep, and cognitive issues linked to the disorder. 

The discovery of a potential biological basis for fibromyalgia should bring emotional relief to patients who were once told the disorder was "all in the head." It's a starting point for the eventual development of new types of treatment and an opportunity for some individuals to get significant relief for the first time.

It would be so nice if they could find a cure for this. Heck I would just be happy if they could find something that would take the pain away and give back my energy and allow me to do things without having to pay for it by being in pain. You know, you learn to live with it and never does a day go by that you are not hurting in one way or another but I try my hardest to not let it stop me but there are days and times that I just have to.

It is the days that I just want to stop everything and do nothing that I feel like I am alone in this thing and nobody understands what I feel. The unexplained pain that moves around in your body from one area to another or the spot where you bumped your shoulder three weeks ago that now flares up and is absolutely killing you with pain for no reason.  All these things that try to drive you insane and nobody understands, not even myself. I won't give up and quit but I just wish some understood. So if you know someone that has fibro, be a little more understanding and remember.....it's not just something that's in their head.

Sanford And Son

We have a new channel on our cable TV that airs the older television shows like Sanford and Son, Hazel, The Brady Bunch, Partridge Family, Leave It To Beaver, All In the Family, Father Knows Best, Gidget and many other awesome shows. And well the other day they were showing an episode of Sanford and Son and leave it to Fred to drop the dreaded "N" word, which he did quite often.
