Okay it's very late..I'm having one of those restless nights (or mornings?) and haven't been to bed yet, so decided to watch the early, early edition of the news and heard this bizarre story of a woman who had to be pried off a...

ASL19741978 That story is so incredible and very sad. It sounds to me like both of them had something seriously wrong with them. I can't even imagine what would motivate someone to want to do that--sit on a toilet for two years, or let someone sit on one for two years!

What people think of me, really. It is a wasted life for me if I spend my time worrying about what people think of me. I have had some of the nicest and the meanest things said about me in my lifetime. I would rather hear...

ASL19741978 I agree with most of the things you're saying. I have a fairly small circle of true friends because I know they won't flatter me, but will rather tell me the truth in a loving way. I also know that I can go to them and be honest with them if I'm hurt or have a...

I have had fibromyalgia for 23 years. I have used a plethora of treatments, but my health has gone up and down through the years--I've never gotten over it, which some people have. Do you know of any good treatments for...

ASL19741978 Yep. That's a catch, indeed! I've been put on many medications that had such wretched side effects that I had to go off. That's why I'm trying to get off all Rx meds, except for the compounded natural ones. To much toxicity! Thanks for your good...

ASL19741978 I would never use mind-altering drugs, nor would I do yoga. I don't believe in "emptying my mind" no matter what the method that leads to it. Thanks for your response.

ASL19741978 :) Good disclaimer! Me neither. Yes, Lyrica is being touted as the new wonder drug for FMS. However, it's very new and rather untested (to me "tested" means it has a 20+ year good track record), so I am steering away from it. I have been on stuff that made...

ASL19741978 AmbiePam, I have gotten a lot of help from Gonstead chiropractors (it's a special methodology). I am currently going to one. My problem is, I need to get off the medications I'm on (I'm about 3/4ths of the way there now), continue to take helpful supplements...

ASL19741978 Thanks, AmbiePam, for giving that link. :) Fibromyalgia is considered a syndrome or condition, rather than a disease, although recently the FDA (and apparently some people think they are all-knowing) approved a drug specifically and only for fibromyalgia,...

I realize that not everyone (by a long shot) on myLot is a citizen of the US. However, I would like to know the following: 1. Who would you vote for if you could vote? 2. Is there one special reason you would vote for...

ASL19741978 I agree with your criteria for a president. I also hope someone like Huckabee or McCain wins. I definitely think it will be a huge mistake to elect Hillary or Obama. I think the US is in for some rough times ahead! Thanks for your excellent response. :)

and I believe that God does also. Have you ever made a list of all the names you've gone by? If you are a woman, your list may be longer than the men's because you may have taken a spruce's name. And you probably had some kind of...

ASL19741978 God has a name. It is YHWH (in Hebrew). We don't know the vowels for sure because the Jewish people stopped pronouncing God's name because it is so holy, and stopped writing it, as well. In the Hebrew Bible, His name is just the consonants YHWH with the vowels...

ASL19741978 My dear friend, I don't think you were accusing me of anything or judging me. Another person in the conversation said I was judging them. I wasn't. Not in the way they think. I was trying to be discerning about what they were saying, which is something I...

ASL19741978 Concerning what we should call God--He has a Name (just as you and I have a name, and would not appreciate being called by someone else's name). His Name is YHWH (pronounced with the vowels "Yahweh"). His Son's Name is Y'shua the Messiah (or Jesus Christ--from...

ASL19741978 It is interesting that you "don't believe in a god or gods" but "I do pray just in case there is someone up there." Do you see the extreme conflict in your beliefs? Either you believe in God and trust Him, or you don't--there's no middle ground. I'd be happy...

ASL19741978 Have you ever thought about how praying "Catholic prayers," praying to God the Father, to Mary, to Native American gods, to angels, and to "spirit guides" are all completely contradictory? God tells us to pray to Him in the Name of Jesus Christ. Period. Even...
