    Eye floaters-any reason to be concerned?

    Well, those who have been around here (Cafe) for a while, will remember my horror story. In 2002, my left eye virtually self-destructed. I was in a surgeon's office within 1 hour of my first symptom (flashing). He found nothing. The symptoms progressed with time, and I visited other doctors...

    Dark objects floating in field of vision

    I have extensive experience with eye problems. As many here know, I went throught 11 surgeries trying to save the vision in my left eye from a detached retina; then another 2 to make an artificial shell that looks like a real eye. Floaters are generally benign, and almost everyone has them...

    LightChucker stumbling back to my feet...

    Hi everyone! I am healing from more hospital stays and surgeries on my back. The good news is that I can walk again; the bad news, it looks like I have lost my job and ruined my 30-year career in computer programming. I have been off work for over 6 months, and I am now drawing 60% of my...

    er, BED recommendations??

    I'll make this brief: We owned a "Sleep Number" or "Select Comfort" bed for 8 years until we discovered a huge colony of mold living between the top of the air chanbers and the top layer of foam. The condensation is caused by the warmth of your body condensing moisture from the cold room (like...

    Root Canal...

    I have had many root canals. Most of them went well, except for a couple of sessions. 1. One tooth had extra canals that the dentist did not detect, so it had to be redone 3 times - 3 times! 2. Another time, everything went well, except that it cost me 3 days in the hospital afterward! That...

    Need help with increasing back pain.

    I am so happy with all your replies and PMs. I have tried to reply to the PMs, but IE crashes every time I try. I must have some kind of malware active. Maybe there is something wrong with the CPF software - I don't know. The important thing is that you all know that I have read and thoroughly...

    Need help with increasing back pain.

    My lower back pain is getting a lot worse. This started in 2002 as a relatively small pain in my right hip, but this past year it has gotten much worse. MRI’s indicate only a small bulge between L4-L5 vertebrae – nothing that should cause this much pain. I have tried several kinds of...

    im in a aweful awefull mood

    I don’t want to hijack Raggie’s thread, but this is a terrible affliction that can ruin your life. Briefly, everyone is different when it comes to Restless Legs Syndrome. So, you could be right about the potassium deficiency. A very common cause is low ferritin levels. This is one measurement of...

    im in a aweful awefull mood

    My health problems are getting more and more unbearable: severe back and hip pain, insomnia, hypertension, anxiety, depression, and severe stress at work; just to mention a few of them. The pain doctor and shrinks don't understand when I tell them that I cannot take antidepressants - they...

    Goodbye My Friends

    Ray, You were one of the first icons of CPF that I came to recognize and appreciate. I'll never forget the first time that you announced you were going to fade into the sunset. How sad. You were selling everything. It sounded as if something terrible had happened. I mean, you were selling...

    ok i need more money

    I don't remember mentioning this before: Before I lost my eye, I was running a high-volume sharpening business from the basement of my home. I taught myself how to sharpen beauty shop shears, barber scissors, tailor's shears, electric clipper blades for barbers, salons, pet groomers and...

    is there a simple easy way to make biscuits?

    "kneading" simply means squeezing the dough in your hands until everything is mixed well. To me, that means until it is like clay. Look up "knead" in the dictionary on "Google" or wherever. Chuck
