Dental Destruction, Therapist Must Be Crazy

I was anemic when I was a baby, the mother didn't know she was supposed to give me the iron through a straw, she gave it to me on a spoon, or so the story goes. As a result I have horrible teeth! When I had the amalgam fillings removed in the early 90's they numbered 26! I am meticulous with my oral hygiene, didn't seem to matter? I have a few, OK a bunch of crowns, always something going on. Had a loose crown, figured I'd go in, have it cemented back on? Won't need to do that, running my tongue over it today the whole tooth feel out!  Appointment next Thursday with an oral surgeon to have the rest of the tooth removed.

P/T girl comes today, got a new one, she comes when she says she's coming, and seems to have a plan. Met with the O/T gal finally, had to get that precious authorization. The lack of a plan is what I have always disliked about therapy, it always felt like they were making it up as we went along. She has go to exercises, keeps me on task. I will see about O/T, have my doubts to be honest, some radical ideas like doing laundry and cooking and assorted choirs!

Church Garden In The Ground, And No Experimental MS Therapies For Me!

We got the garden rolling today, it's going to be great! Went and got a truckload of topsoil to add, already added compost. The garden is at the back of the parking lot, backs up to some pretty nice townhomes. A young couple came over and started asking questions, before we knew what happened the guy was up in the truck blasting out dirt like a steam shovel! We got everything planted and even used their hose to give it the first soaking. The 2 members from church did an incredible amount of work too, probably had to do with the leadership I showed from my lawn chair.

Who can tell me something about CCSVI? Anybody know anyone who's had it? The mother knows a gal, who knows a guy, who saw something about it, on some show, but that's about it? My central nervous system has a blood supply? Is this procedure just angioplasty? Why is there so much controversy around each one of the "cures" for MS? LDN, Bee sting, dental Amalgam. Why can't they just make it work? My mechanic can fix my car, the plumber the pipes. I refuse to take anything else, or get any worse until they fix this! Who's with me?

Multiple Sclerosis, Dental Amalgam , and Tarzan Movies

Dose 8 of vitamin D tonight, and a Rebif injection, I didn't plan that real well, did I? I should be getting another slip in the mail to have my blood drawn, can't wait to see how high the D level has risen. I'm guessing the level should be somewhere close to 30, or so. Once again, the goal is 50. My impressions after 8 weeks of massive D ingestion isn't so great. I would think by now I should see some significant improvement, or any if I am going to see it at all. My problem is I don't know if the way I feel is better or not. Am I confusing weakness with numbness?

Had a comment about amalgam fillings today, I had forgotten all about that! Like I said in my reply, I guess I had my 26 or so removed about 17 years ago, must have been 20 actually? The anonymous commenter mentioned mercury detox, and Beriberi disease. I've always wanted to do a whole body detox, but don't know enough about it, or can't find someone who does. As for the Beriberi, I thought you only got that in Tarzan movies! The Beriberi is actually a B1 deficiency, or a lack of thiamine. You figure I have a D vacancy, why not a B1! The technical names sound like Russian helicopters or chess players, I guess that's why they call it wet and dry Beriberi?

Wet and dry anything I think of the movie Papillon, with the leper colony. The wet form of beriberi you have heart problems, the dry you have MS symptoms. With Beriberi at least, it sounds like dry is better! I am going to check into both, have them throw in a screen for B1 at the next phlebottimist visit, and I really wnt to try a detox. It says you need a high protein diet, I'm eating an Atkins type diet, why not? I am open to anything, up for it all, and willing to try anything twice, so send me some more ideas!
