Oh, duh! I was so excited to see your/my ring, I didn't even realize it wasn't on your ring finger lol.

Good luck, Jeana, I hope everything goes smoothly! I am sure this thread will be useful to people in the future. Lauren, You rock for offering such detailed info and putting up pics. BTW, you and your husband have great taste in jewelry. Your engagement ring is a sapphire? Mine too :-)...

I should mention my infection was strep pneumonia--not sure if a virus played into it.

Yeah, I hear you. I don't know what the controls were on the study--if the participants were divided into activity/health/weight/other-food consumption control groups. I suspect there were some controls, but I know there was no grass-fed study. :-) <br> <br>I do think the organic and...

Yep, hospital IVs before x-mas, orals now almost done, wheezy still, went to the gym Tues when fever tapered off and the heavy breathing of a Middle Eastern dance class (not usually a heavy breather for me) started up pleurisy on my right side which had been gone for four days. Back on...

I wish I could be motivated enough to imitate the menu my parents had my sister and I on when we were kids--my mom is an older mom from another country and never tried to understand packaged foods in the US, and my dad used to work for a nutrition lobby in Washington--tried to fight the whole...

I am sorry you are feeling badly and needing IVs. For me, I'll operate below baseline for weeks--plugs-small collapses, a little achy and tired--only to have it morph over the course of a day into pneumonia with fever, violent chills, and extreme pleuritic chest pain. I really don't know what...

Wow, thanks so much for the detailed information. I recently installed a Quest Lab's app on my phone "Gazelle" for getting test results, and the app crashes every 10-15 minutes and asks me to force close. I'm keeping it though because it does work enough to email me my lab results (it also had...

I'm sorry you have this extra issue to deal with. You could do a search on the forums for "cholesterol" and you'll find a couple old threads talking about it. My hunch is you've gotta increase fish, olive oil, avocado, maybe nuts-not sure, oatmeal. I think eggs have the thumbs up these days...

For me, streaks of blood or orange-rusty mucus if I am ALREADY feeling really bad (chills, aches, SOB) mean things have progressed to pneumonia. If the blood comes when I am feeling okay, then I think it can be inflammation from bacteria or a variety of other stuff (hormones, smoke) or coughing...
