Neurontin helps, nerve pain, artheritis, DDD
This has worked for me for five years,especially sciatic nerve pain, osteoarthritis, and degenerit disc disease. Black Kotash works for after menopose just for the benefits of the herb stands alone. Why take Remificin, which I tried, when you can go for the source? Hope this helps.

S.O.S.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Sisters, I am currently on radiaton and not doing too poorly, but have a very big concern. I've noticed a lump on the scar of my partial mastectomy and I'm scared.

hair regrowth
I have my 6th and final treatment next Friday of AC and Toxatere(sp). I have heard many stories of hair coming in different color and texture. How long does it take and should you take vitamins that help hair growth? This website really has been a blessing. Bobbie Jo, Virginia Beach, VA

Last week, my first class, the instructor could not believe that I'd never done yoga before... it comes naturally I guess. *shrugs* My range of motion…

Chanel.. er... Chemo #5 today....
Hello dear ones! Today is #5 of 6... not nearly as nervous. (This does not mean that I am NOT nervous, mind you! *grin*) Somehow, Chemo #5 just doesn't sound as pretty as Chanel #5, does it? *wink* Trust me, in my mind.. Chemo #6 has a much better ring to it! I'll be happiest, of course, when that last drop of it is…

Positive Attitude and Faith in God Survives
Has anyone noticed the rash of recent articles re: survival rate not affected by having a positive attitude. Well I say hogwash! Actually said something else, but this was my polite word. By the time I saw the 3rd article I was outraged (by the way I didn't bother reading the first 2 figured they were just trash anyway).…

Attention Kat re: PAIN
Kat, sorry I'm so late getting onto site if u haven't yet u need to go to ER. If it hurts to take deep breath it may just be pleurisy, if not related to breathing it could be a duodenal ulcer about to rupture or pancreatitis or inflamed gall bladder w/ stone in bile duct.
