sylviekitty I was diagnosed with Lyme last week. I had only suspected that was an issue for me back in March, but I think I have had it for quite some time- years, and perhaps as far back as between 1996-1998, when I was in college. I was bit by a tick in 1987- the only...

sylviekitty How is your son doing now? Is he on abx? I was just diagnosed with Lyme less than a week ago. Although I tested IgM positive, I believe that I've actually had it for some time.. that it's been a persistent infection. I'm currently just on Amoxicillin,...

alamsmom @alamsmom (38) • United States 30 Nov 06

My daughter is going to go for allergy testing can anyone tell me about it? We have never experienced this procedure before. She is only four years old - I am hoping it won't be too much for her to handle.

Have you Ever Been to a Candy Store where you Pay Based on the Weight??

Jshean20 @Jshean20 (14348) • Canada 7 Mar 07

I remember how much of an eyeopener it was for me, the first time I went into a candy store and filled up my little bag to be weighed. I had guessed that it might come out to $10 or so but actually ended up being more like $30..(I...

sylviekitty I forget the name of the store right now, but they have those in malls here in the United States.. something like the Candy Factory. (Dang, I can't remember the name!) I think my husband and I have spent $5-6 at a time, but not because we fill up the bags. We...

do you think papi will end up falling in love and being with kit?

what do u think?

sylviekitty They (the writers) could surprise me, but I honesty don't see Kit becoming "bi" or a lesbian on this show. I don't really see her traveling down that road. Papi might fall in love with her, and get rejected.. that might be interesting.

sylviekitty I take tylenol (or sometimes ibuprofin) for headaches, if they're persistent.. or if they are getting worse, and I can tell they're going to be around a while. More and more lately, my headaches have caused me to be physically ill. So I'd like to nip them in...
