    Beets and Blood Pressure

    I don know, but fresh cooked beats with a little butter may be more tolerable. They are also loaded with fiber which helps a lot of systems in the body.

    Cow manure. Takes me back to my childhood days playing on my uncle's farm.

    Poor 'Balance' How to deal with?

    I have noticed in the last several years my balance has suffered. Mainly when I close my eyes, seems like I start loosing it so I always reach out with a hand to secure myself before I close my eyes. I am physically active and in reasonable shape. Well come to think of it, kinda tough to walk...

    Fluorouracil Treatment from Dermatologist

    Yes have had that last year. Really helped, but was embarrassing to go out in public for a few weeks. The medication lasts a long time so keep it on hand.

    Anyone else sometimes have trouble keeping down what they eat?

    I have had that Mediterranean food a few times. It is delicious but seems to push my digestive system towards the limits of its' capabilities.

    Birthday of Dietrich Bonhoeffer in 1906.

    He was active in the resistance movement. I am not sure he actually helped organize the plot, but it has been a great while since I read a bio on him.

    Things you don’t have/have gotten rid of, because you have no place to store them?

    I have learned to moderate what I buy, because like you, where would I put it? I am told, and I see the practicality of it, that at my stage of life I should be downscaling. I do still live in my own house and it can yet accommodate more stuff if i choose to follow that practice.

    The White Coat Syndrome

    There is much that can be said about this subject. My sense is that it is a fairly widespread problem and it is intertwined with many contributory reasons, fear of sickness and death, poor feelings about one's self, genuine health worries, fear of the unknown, as so on. Since there is no...

    How Did You Sleep?

    Last night slept much better than usual! Despite using for the second night a mouth guard to prevent teeth grinding. This is on my dentist's recommendation, and I am giving it a go for now.

    Have you ever had this many odd and slightly/ dangerous situations in just a few hours?

    Eye Floaters Or A Gnat

    On the subject of floaters, oh man, i have so many. I am very myopic so my old eyeballs have been stretched. Then there is the breakdown of the vitreous. Jarring, jostling, and bumping of the body and head don't help either. What is especially annoying is when you get a large mass of floaters...

    Eye Floaters Or A Gnat

    Yes. I have never had these until a few months ago when I started noticing my peripheral vision one morning disappearing then started seeing the jagged white line. After about 20 minutes all gone and vision back to normal. Then the other day I had another one and same thing! My wife says she...

    The White Coat Syndrome

    I have the syndrome and I think I am exceptional in the high degree which I am effected by it. It has helped me a good deal to keep a log of it at home and bring it in to my appointments. The other day I was at the dentist and they check it there too. She used a wrist version and believe it...
