Shelley, I am a teacher, a parent of an ADHD son, an ADD dil, and I have some ADDish qualities which I discovered on my journey to understanding my son. We opted out of the school testing because our school tests for ld's and not specifically for ADD. We refer them to their doctors for...

I recieved my replacement DVD while I was out of town. My dd placed it in the case with my original DVD. Now I don't know which was the original and which the new one. Mine original froze once or twice while moving through one of the premixes..but not often enough for me to use freezing as...

Doreen, I am fifty...turned last week. What I have noticed is that to build fitness level is difficult and overtraining is more apparent. I had minor surgery (major to me it was bladder cancer, but nothing was "cut"). I couldn't workout for nearly a month or I had bleeding. Then when I...

I had similar food issues a few years ago. I still socialized and let others eat around me. For me I did find one or two things I could eat when I ate out and did that or brought my own to munch when others around me couldn't. No restruant is going to quibble about that and risk offending the...

RE: teachers and others who work with the public: what ... Tina, Don't hesitate to ask about other first year issues there are a lot of us and it is quite an initiation time! Tracey

RE: teachers and others who work with the public: what ... I don't know if you have Costco...but they have this spring smelling hand lotion/antibacterial soap that my kids love and want to steal. I buy the big Coscto version and I have 8 "dollar store" containers I fill for my student sinks...

RE: teachers and others who work with the public: what ... I've taught for 15 years. The first year teaching, I was a mess. The other year that was bad was my daughter's first preschool experience. Our family joke for that year was that our oldest was in college, second in high school, I...

Laura, I think the biggest thing for me besides getting the tumors removed has been drinking water through out the day. When I had my cystoscopy, I didn't have any pain after and I think it was the water I was drinking, I'm a teacher with limitted access to the restroom. I used to drink...

Laura, I have had a lifetime of UTIs. A few cautions to get the doctor involved and check out what is causing them. My story is very unusual but worth knowing I think. You could have kidney, urethra, ureter bladder misplacement, tumors, or even cysts that can cause this. Using cranberry...

Dear Cathe, I am having a tough time reading this Ask Cathe forum lately because so few of the questions are for you. I would like to remind people that the OPEN forum is the place for posts directed at others who aren't Cathe. Of course if I remind them, I too am breaking the rule...

I had a forced break at the end of June to mid July. I had surgery(bladder tumors removed) and any workout (even walking) left me bleeding. So finally I returned to my workout. I was shocked no little soreness after I started up again and returned to my regular routine within a couple of...

This is long but you are going where I have been. My son now 21 yo was diagnosed with ADD in 6th grade. He was borderline hyperactive. In going through the evaluations I came to the conclusion, I have some qualities that fit the diagnosis as well. I also am a middle school teacher who works...

When we had our sons (21 and 24 year's ago) I left this up to my dh to sort out. He opted not to have our two sons circumcised. Our pediatrician at the time was quite against circumcising. Dh and I did our own additional research. We started with our own fathers who came from families where...

Yeast...microscopic little living things will make beer, bread, .....? Moldy bread will fight diseases.....

My son always said who invented butterfly or breaststroke. The equivalent in track would be a skipping race....or two hops and a kick race?? He says he can't image the scene where someone says I will save the drowning swimmers with a different stroke. Teachreef
