I have reason to believe that I have been (or that I am) a chronic sufferer. I have not been tested yet- I need to get my "script" to get tested. However, the facts are looking more and more like this is something I should be...

Jennifer16628 What symptoms have you experienced? I was diagnosed a year ago with fibromyalgia by PCP. I never was referred to a rheumy. After doing some reading though I am convinced I need a test for Lyme also. I was wondering how your symptoms presented over the years...

Does anyone have any natural cures for rose parasites. I bought a rose bush last year, it looked great last year. But this year I have a problem, there are a bunch of holes in the foliage. I think it is keeping it from blooming...

Jennifer16628 Well, obviously we don't really know what is causing the problem so it makes it hard. What does work is planting chives with your roses. It helps prevent black spot and repels aphids. My next door neighbor tried this and it worked beautifully!

Has anyone read any of the books by Christine Feehan? I just LOVE all of her books. Which series is your favorite? What book do you read again and again? :)

Jennifer16628 Sure thing! Dark Demon is actually a really great book. I imagine though that if you have not read the others (several) before it than it would be much more confusing. Christine Feehan has a website that has all of her books listed in order but from the top of...

Were you diagnosed with fibromyalgia by a specialist? If so what type of doctor? What kind of doctor treats you? I have been reading and found that rheumatologists don't like being "stuck" with treating fibro patients. Many think...

Jennifer16628 My doctor had me start on amitrypteline (sp?) and tramadol. I started getting worsening headaches and my muscles would jerk randomly and frequently. This was scary to me so I stopped taking the amitrypteline. I told her about it and she said she didn't think...

Jennifer16628 I had blood tests done (CBC, rheumatoid factor - no numbers just + or -, and blood sugar levels) in January 2006. I had an MRI of head and neck within the past 6 months. Aside from that I don't think there have been any other tests. Does that sound about...

Jennifer16628 We are pretty tight on money also. That is why I thought spreading it out and getting a good deal was more worth it. I mean...I could save up 10.00 a month so that I can buy him clothes when the jeans are 15.00-25.00 each or like I just did...buy a pair of...

Jennifer16628 Oh yeah. I have fibromyalgia. I thought the pain usually just got worse when the weather got worse (cold and damp). I am finding that it is actually anytime the pressure changes up or down. I live in the pacific northwest and it seems to be forever changing.

Jennifer16628 Do you have to add any kind of fertilizer or nutrients to your seedlings at any time? My seedlings are only about 3 weeks old and showing terrible signs of deficiency. Do your seedlings remain strong until transplant without any supplementation?

Jennifer16628 I used one of those trays this year for the first time. So far so good. Do you fertilize them at all? My neighbor gave me the tray with pellets but no information. I don't actually know what growing medium is in those little discs. :)

Jennifer16628 So is millet interchangeable with rice in dishes? I haven't used millet much (obviously :)). I do use brown basmati rice a lot. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
