I had heard Vitamin D was a good source for bones,
of course and being as I along with others on here do not get out as much as we should sometimes, had heard maybe I should take. I have pain in my ribs (checked for other things and scans, x-rays turned out ok) so started this morning with 4000 units. Anyone else take and if so what dosage? My ribs were hurting before I got out of bed and since seem to be feeling some better.
LOL! Yogurt is good as it contains a lot of vitamin K
it helps with blood clotting.

If people have not enough blood platelets, then they suffer from

Thrombocytopenia.

No bashing, please.

I am only a humble MT who learned a lot through atudying and MTing.
Thanks!
I've heard of tops and also heard it is a good group.

I have heard they are very good.
Work well with children.  I have not used them personally, but know others who have especially one case where the child had a speech impairment as well.  Good luck and I'd say even though expensive it may be worth a try. I was also told that the teachers are very nice as well as knowledgable.  I hope this holds true in other states. 
I heard some really good news, look inside
I also am in Georgia and perhaps you have listened to Clark Howard or Elise Glink who fills in sometimes for him. She was talking the other day to a guy who wanted to get into nursing. The opportunities are endless right now. Places are actually paying for any and all tuition, etc. you need - in return you work for them for ?? don’t know the length but if I were you, I would definitely go for it. The pay is otta sight, the rewards many, and you know with MTing how it is going! I do not think you would be doing the wrong thing if you did. I hope you will look into the issue of having the lot paid for you, what could you lose? You might try looking on Glink's web, you could get in touch with wsbtv consumer line and they will give you that link (that is out of Atlanta if you don’t know). Good luck with that!
I've heard they are good for homemade..
pizza because pizza has to cook in a 500+ oven. The stone helps when domestic ovens only go that high.

I'm no cook, that's the 'gist' of it, stones.

You can Google the info tho.

Ever watch Sam the Cooking Guy? He cracks me up.
I've heard superglue is almt as good as Dermabond.

Supposedly killing a spider
brings bad luck.
I got one of those! But it was from a classmates friend supposedly....
and when I tried to open the link my computer froze up, thank goodness, I guess? Or could I still be in for trouble? Don't they need more information from you, passwords and such?
Supposedly Jo Malone's fragrances are of SM
higher quality, purer and more natural, which make them more expensive. I didn't know that brand even made candles, until I saw newspaper story. Umm, not that I was in the market for $325 candles anyway.

When the question arises on this board from time to time, about which perfumes we prefer, someone here ALWAYS states Jo Malone. She must be making more than the rest of us.
My husband's ex-wife supposedly -sm
used sex as a weapon in the terms of as a reward. He had to jump through hoops to get it and basically grovel to get lucky. She apparently did not like having sex so he got it maybe once a month if he was a good boy. That just is not right, and there are women (and men) who do this... and women who string men along with promises, etc. in order to suck them dry (no pun intended).
The pizza I had in Buffalo was supposedly
pepperoni. The whole tomatoes were supposedly the sauce. I love, love, love tomatoes, just not what tastes like whole, uncooked on my pizza.
I thought Maggianos was supposedly
Italian, here in Atlanta it is. I love Carabbas (spelling?). Hubby and I used to love the buffet at Bellagio in Vegas but their food quality has gone down some. There is a Corky's place here in town but I did not care for that when I was there. I have ordered lots of food items delivered but nothing beats my husband's food.
Supposedly in vitro with someone elses

I say it's her mother's fault. Supposedly she was stage mom from

Whole thing fouled up - supposedly the parents of Howard
so Howard and his siblings tell have financed him for years- Howard was supposed to get a % of the money in that Marshall case. What a mess. The Marshall son that Anna was fighting died so now do not know the figures still involved in that case. He is gone and Anna gone so ??
Vitamin B6
I was told helps with PMS symptoms, but I don't know about St. John's wort.  Look at the ingredients, is it a combo?
My GYN said to take vitamin B6.
But, I suffered so bad with this along with heavy cycles (14 days on) that I finally had a hysterectomy (left with cervix and ovaries).  The back pain was horrendous as well during these times.  Finally, after 8 years (I'll be 38 in a few months), I have found relief from the horrible PMS.  I'd go from crying to screaming to loving to hating to pitiful to in bed to not wanting to go to bed...  Are you getting the picture?  These emotions lasted 2 weeks and then was "on" for 2 weeks and I never had relief, never until I had the hysterectomy.  I felt like a million bucks 2 hours postop - no lie!  I was home within 24 hours (pleaded with GYN to just let me go home) and I have a new woman since.  I doubt they'll do a hysto though just for PMS, but like I said I've been there and the only thing she recommended was vitamin B6 and Yoga.  Definitely see a doctor though....
I've heard good things and about things about taking prednisone. My mom was on it for SM
for awhile and it made her look so swollen.  I sympathize with you.
vitamin B complex (nm)
nm
I take Biotin which is a B vitamin.
.
Vitamin K does exactly the contrary, it
COUNTERACTS the blood thinning.

So, people whose blood has become too thin by possible overdosing on blood thinners, SHOULD eat foods containing a lot of vitamin K.
They should especially eat yoghurt which contains a lot of vitamin K.

Aspirin is a strong blood thinner due to containing salicylates.

There are also a lot of foods that contain salicylates and people who take prescription blood thinners, like Coumadin, Heparin, Plavix etc... should avoid those.

You can Google foods that act as blood thinners, opposite foods that contain a lot of vitamin K.

They have the opposite effect.

I think green vegatables also contain vitamin K and will help stop excessive bleeding.

NO BASHING, please!




Vitamin D question

I don't get outside much these days and wonder if anyone knows if you can get vitamin D from sun coming through the window?


My mom has osteoporosis, so I figure I better do what I can!


Thanks.


You can take a Vitamin D supplement. nm

Vitamin D is very important

A lack of vitamin D is the cause of ricketts.  It doesn't happen that often in the US any more because of all of the fortified foods we get, but if you don't go outside much at all, it can be a real concern.  There was a story about a hugely obese man - like 900 pounds obese - who had horrible pain and it turned out to be a lack of vitamin D.  THe only way your body can metabolize vitamin D is by exposure to sunlight. 


Doctors always want to make sure that women who are older or at risk for osteoporosis take Calcium and Vitamin D.  The Vitamin D helps the body metabolize the calcium. 


You should probably take a calcium supplement as well, if you aren't already.


Hope your rib pain goes away!


 


Vitamin D deficiency?

Anyone ever been diagnosed with this?


My rheumatologist's office called this morning to tell me that my blood tests showed a deficiency. My doctor is going to call this afternoon to discuss it with me. Apparently, it's not so uncommon in regions that lack sunshine?


Which vitamin for hair and nails?
Is it vitamin D? My hair will only get to a certain length and seems like it stops growing. Any ideas on something to help it grow more?
Vitamin Water XXX flavor and
I go through about a pitcher a day of green tea that I make with raw sugar and honey.  And, of course, Welch's -- it is so good for you.
Try Palmer's Cocoa Butter with vitamin E.
I had a similar problem and this worked for me.  My husband even uses it and likes it.  I like the unscented type.  Good Luck!
I read that a lack of vitamin D and boron can

cause psoriasis.  The article said that a lot of vegetarians don't get psoriasis because they have a diet high in boron which helps with the conversion of vitamin D.  It is because vegetarians eat food high in boron and vitamin D, i.e., veggies, fruit, etc, and the soild the veggies are grown in is high in these nutrients.


There was a post on here about helping psoriasis so I thought I would throw that in!  Hope it helps.


Sorry, I meant ..'There are creams which contain vitamin K.'..sm
And, BTW, vitamin C and calcium are very good for preventing wrinkles.
Cranberry juice may work better than vitamin....

Is this the Vitamin Water that Coca Cola bought?
I had one for the first time today, fruit punch. Good stuff :)
The intake of vitamin K helps against spider veins. ..... sm
But be careful, do not take too much, only from food sources, yoghurt is a very good source of vitamin K.
There are creams which contain vitamin C.

If you want to take supplemental vitamin K in tablet form, first check with your doctor regarding the dosage.

I had some spider veins in my face, but those disappeared when I started to put vaseline in my face.
A lot of gastric bypass patients have vitamin D deficiency
also iron, calcium, and B12. But I have known other people who also had a D deficiency.
Might try valerian root capsules or 5HTP or melatonin, in vitamin section

Anyone have any good holiday dessert recipes? Looking for something good to take to a party. nm

What a good role model you are for good holiday spirit...wow nm

Awesome! Good service is good news.

glad to see you look at it this way! Really good idea! Have a good season! nm

Good Fences make good neighbors
You can get premade cedar fencing that comes in sections. You dig a post hole at the appropriate distance and fill with a bag of quick-crete. Alternatively, you could buy a used fence from a place that hauls away.

You could also get an electric fence, just hook to a battery and run the cord (for retraining purposes) it would not hurt your dogs.

I feel your pain. Roll up your sleeves and pray for some digging weather!
Hey hon, you can have one. There are tons of good ones out there looking for a good woman. They ain&
doorstep. Seek and you shall find. So, if you 'really' wanted one, me thinks you would have one...
All good points, good post. (nm)

Just heard
Very sad indeed.
Never heard of it until now....sm
it sounds like something you'd find in the south. I'm not sure if I like the sounds of it or not!
wow, never heard of it, but thanks!

I heard, so sad. I liked him.

yep, once heard it said that if you
expect nothing, you are never dissappointed, so I have learned to expect nothing, and in return, I am always surprised, which makes even the smallest of niceities someone does or says much more appreciated by me. We are to be happy givers, actually expected to give until it hurts, and not to expect anything in return, amen.
You have heard exactly what I have
over the years. I have heard so much of this I probably would swat my children out of their seats at the table if I ever heard these gross sounds. I also hate to hear yawning while dictating. Reminds me of the time I used to work outside my regular job and had a physician who was a terrible dictator in the hospital and at his office (this was a group of physicians, otherwise would not just have worked for him) and one day he dictated a letter to his bank about his account and you got it, every word was letter perfect, perfectly understandable. I think most dictators find the job of doing their reports not high on the totem pole. That is why we as transcriptionists have to put up with all this crap noise they send our way. Sneezes, snorts, eating, drawing on a cigarette (yes, years ago that 1 for me), coughing, smacking, chewing, and yes, that occasional bowel movement thing-- my mother would have killed me if I ever did this!! I learned well at her knee, still am very cognizant of others in a family/social setting.
You said if you really WANT to, well heard the
same subject on weight loss from my aunt. A lot of elderly people's appetites wane and now she talks about a person, all you have to do is push away from the table. Hmmm, sounds a lot like what you are saying. If you really want to. Ok, I am trying now- I want to be beautiful, thinner, rich, and so on and so on. Hey, I really want this so I guess it can come true, right? Like I said, lot of people just do not understand. Maybe she has a good friend somewhere that will understand.
