koalatbs I like it too. My husband & son hate it though so I don't buy it very often. You might want to add walnuts & dried cranberries to the spinach salad too... very yummy!

This is a very difficult discussion to write and I'm typing through my tears. It's an all too familiar story these days, but for most of us it doesn't hit too close to home, thank God; this time, for me, it did. At this moment my...

I love the show Mystery Diagnosis... probably because I felt like I belonged on the show for many many years. At one point I was told there was a 50% chance I might have Multiple Sclerosis but then about 2 months ago a neurologist...

koalatbs I agree with your doctor chiedenn. I think as long as you drink caffeinated beverages, namely coffee or soda, in moderation it is probably ok for your baby. As you mentioned, you probably should not drink stuff like that late at night and then nurse your baby...

koalatbs I try to bring up what experience I have, including education, to the interview. I try to focus on the job description and what the position is for and kind of tailor my wording around what they are looking for in an employee.

koalatbs You are so right. Not having a diagnosis is the worst. It is so frustrating to not know what is wrong with you, despite having been to so many doctors trying to get help and relief. Sorry your husband is in so much pain. I sure hope the doctors are able to...

koalatbs Nope, it is not a new disease or anything like that, just rare so that is why you probably haven't heard of it before Lakota12. Thanks for thinking of me. I had a MRI done of my neck last week and on Monday I'll be having one done of my brain and my thoracic...

koalatbs Thanks Anora. I'm not sure if my niece will be interested or not. I know she doesn't have the money to spend out of pocket, which is unfortunate. She will have to use her insurance as a military dependent.
