Tremor or Earthquake by Night Worrier Posted Sat 17 Apr 2010 12:38am So last night I was watching some soothing episodes of “Malcolm in the middle” In between episodes I got up to have a smoke and as I stood up to walk the house moved?!? WTF?!? Did my withdrawals reach a new height of uncomfortable or was that real? I thought maybe a meteor was about to make a spectacular crash somewhere — nearby but instead af ... Read on »

Two Visions of Healthcare: One Political, One Medical. Unfortunately, Obamacare Beats Out Treatment for Tremors and Epilepsy. by Jim Pinkerton Posted Fri 19 Mar 2010 12:00am Last night on ABC World News, we saw, once again, the divide between two visions of healthcare. One, healthcare as a political football, and two, healthcare as a life-enhancing, even life-saving undertaking of doctors and scientists. Alas, the politicos got top billing. Diane Sawyer led the newscast with a live report from Jon K ... Read on »

Things that go ouch in the night by chasingthenow Posted Tue 28 Sep 2010 9:53pm Did you know that dropping someone else’s urine in your ear is supposed to cure an earache? Me either. But I found that useful tidbit as I was Googling “earache remedies” at 2:30 this morning. I woke up in the middle of the night with my ear hurting, but I thought it was just some weird pressure build up and laid in bed ... Read on »

Hope. by Ellyn Posted Wed 24 Feb 2010 12:00am So, I have a confession to make. I've been feeling pretty sorry for myself lately. I'll officially be divorced in 14 days, and just 18 days after that, I'll be celebrating the day my son both died and was born.

Tremors, Walking and Talking, and Finally Getting Some Sleep by Kate K. Patient Expert

Posted Wed 18 Apr 2012 5:00pm My shaky body and muscle spasms in my right foot awake me at 2 AM. I toss and turn and can’t get comfortable. My resting tremors aren’t resting, but very much awake. I try various yoga poses to combat the tremors -- the downward dog, child’s pose, the bridge and warrior poses – all provide no relief. Suddenly I remember that this is how I ... Read on »

Falls and Tremors by Maryann Patient Expert

Posted Sun 31 Jan 2010 9:43am Ring around the rosies. Pockets full of posies. Ashes, ashes We all fall down! I fell twice last week.

Last night's score board was another step forward on the road to NO DRINK. Still a little ... Read on »
