How you feeling today, Rich?
About the same as yesterday, but I forced myself to do a little more. I actually did evening chores with Lannie tonight (fed feral cats, horses, chickens, filled water, etc.), but required a 5-minute sit-down-time afterward before coming back to the house because I was a tad too light-headed (dizzy?) to guarantee making that 100 yards without tipping over. The abdominal pain is slightly less and I'll be playing that for whatever I can get out of it (psychological motivation and all that stuff). I also managed to consume a normal sized dinner tonight without nausea or vomiting, which is the first real meal I have kept down in six days. So I contend this is a sign of improvement.

Apple cider vinegar help any?
Not going in that direction. I stuffed capsules of dandelion root powder and milk thistle seed and have been taking a couple of each every two hours, which seems to be settling the gallbladder issues somewhat. And, of course, the fact that the sun came out today (after snowing five days) and the temp got all the way up to 40 helped the attitude slightly.

(so called) Doctor called me this afternoon, said no point in going to the appointment at his office, they found nothing on the MRI.
So, this butthead isn't even suggesting something that might be the cause of your pain? Just "MRI showed nothing so don't bother me"?

If you guys ever order from "MistHub" plan on waiting forever. Its been 2 days of "creating label " for usps priority mail. I couldn't find the vape item anywhere else (sold out). Just giving a heads up!

Vinegar was the first thing to pop into my head, didn't look for actual products which may work.

As long as the witch doctor didn't see anything irregular in the MRI, the farther I'd like to stay from his office.

Evening my Old Phart friends, Running late tonight, had a busy day, I hope all my friends here are doing well
Hey Jimi! Hope your feeling better!
Sandi....it's the first time a (so called) doctor didn't want to bill me and the insurance company, almosts sounds like a conspiracy.
I was going to say something similar. My quacks would have milked the insurance company. I think I pissed off my liver doc since she thinks I'm tapering off the prednisone (still). I stopped (tapered off) back in Jan. My labs have been improving. I'm not quite sure if she wants more Liver function tests or not. :) In June I'll have a liver biopsy done and hopefully be off my Immunosuppressive drug. I'm sick of taking it. I sure hope I don't get cancer or any of the major adverse effects of this drug. If I stop it too soon my cirrhosis (Stage 2) and or fibrosis(Stage 3) of the liver may not heal enough.Its a double edged sword. Enough of my crap!

Anyone have a good pumpkin pie vape recipe?

Was reading Mike Adam's take on the flu shots a few minutes ago....he hit the nail on the head.

I noticed he is saying what's on his mind since you-tub canned him.

I've been hanging in there. Not working a lot. I've been working about 3 days a pay period. The job is high stress and its not worth it (health wise). Hubs is working full time. I'm saving myself till he retires soon (he is 65) then I will try to work a 32 hour a week job (for insurance). I suppose I should start looking next year.

You guys take flu shots? I don't but the last job forced me to take one. This job I will be able to get out of it. Working in health care they think a flu shot is going to protect everyone. I really feel that the flu shot and hepatis B shots caused my autoimmune disease. I do have other theories as well. I was thinking I would get MS instead.

Not a chance! I was forced to take a flu shot when I went into basic train (USAF 1967). I got the flu two weeks later. That wast he ;ast flu shot I ever had and have not had the flu since. Extremely dangerous shit.
But, but, but...vaping is bad for us....Flu shots approved by the FDA and CDC should be safe.......:headbang:

Might want to consider something else besides that high stress job Sandi, don't want to ruin your health, just not any amount of money.
Too bad you have to work at all my friend

Somewhere in my archives I have several articles on the hazzards of the flu shot, I see if I can find them in the next few days, but you are probably right, they might of caused it. i am lucky never had one and never will

And they have been paid to claim cigarettes aren't bad either but VG/PG is a killer... I was tempted to say to the doctor at the ER last Saturday when my chest X-ray showed absolutely no issues that "Isn't that funny... after 50 years of Camels".... but just dropped it because the obviously follow-on argument would not have been productive.

Hubs doesn't want me to. He's cool with the less hours. I have worked since the age of 14. Right now I don't feel the need to work that much.

Got to head out! Falling a sleep at the laptop again. Believe it or not I have dosed off at the kitchen table watching stuff online.
trying to kull us off.
I had to take a pneumonia shot. I wasn't thrilled but my immune system is compromised and working with rehab and old folks in the rehab nursing center. Another catch 22 for me.
