Has anyone used this? I remember reading that one form for dogs and cats has been found successful in many cases. I plan to read more about it and may order some: http://www.renadyl.com/

What kind of flowers did she receive? What did the card look like? Did you google the name of the person on the card?

I picked up 2 Christmas cards today at Flour Child Cakery. I sent a pm with their code to each member and a link to this thread. They still had plenty of cards left.

I have pain and nausea at times---like today. Have you found anything that helps? When I first got sick I was hospitalized with high fever, chills, vomiting, severe body aches (similar to the flu but worse) blood in my urine, etc. They gave me anti-biotics and I would improve. I did that every few months for a while. Then I stabilized for many years. My doctor says it's important to stay hydrated. She also said that most patients don't realize how bad stress is for the kidneys.

Yes, when my hand was broken in a car accident I didn't take any anti-inflammatory meds. It amazes me how much most people can take that don't have kidney disease; prescription arthritis meds, etc.

What was it they gave you that your nephrologist was mad about?

Thanks for the link. I got the impression that what she was talking about was already being prescribed, whereas this is still under study, correct? http://www.studynrf2.com/blog/index.php/tag/bardoxolone-methyl/

I searched, too before I started this thread and didn't see anything about a new medication. I tried an ace inhibitor once, but I got weak and dizzy and my blood pressure went real low. My internist said the new medication was not a blood pressure prescription but something different. I'm going to stop by her office one day and ask about it if I don't find out before then. Anyway, I will let you know when I find out what it is.

Does anyone know anything about a new prescription for Chronic Kidney Disease? I've had kidney damage since I was about 15---which the doctors felt was a rare complication of a strep infection. During the last several years my kidney function has decreased more rapidly so I'm always looking for progress in treatment options. Recently when I was having a checkup at my internist she mentioned that some of her patients had been put on a new type of prescription by their kidney doctors during the last few months. I asked her the name but she couldn't remember it and their computers were down so sh

When I searched I did find some info on using purslane in smoothies. Here's a video of a woman using a VitaMix and purslane: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV3dBnCl5kU

Does anyone know anything about adding purslane to smoothies? I plan on planting some next year. There are seed from some improved varieties available: The persistent plant known as purslane strikes fear into the hearts of lawn owners while delighting health food fanatics. Full of nutrients and tangy flavor, Portulaca oleracea enjoys a stellar reputation in Mediterranean cooking---even as American gardeners send the plentiful weed to the landfill. Look for the low-lying, sprawling herb between sidewalk cracks, along the margins of your lawn and in gravel. Learning about the health ben

I got this in an email a while back: Check your shampoo bottle's label. I don’t know WHY I didn't figure this out sooner!!!! It's the shampoo I use in the shower! When I wash my hair, the shampoo runs down my whole body and (duh!) printed very clearly on the shampoo label is this warning… FOR EXTRA VOLUME AND BODY! NO wonder I have been gaining weight!!! Well! I have gotten rid of that shampoo and I am going to start using Dawn dish soap instead. Their label reads, DISSOLVES FAT THAT IS OTHERWISE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE. Problem Solved!!! If I don't answer the

I noticed in the example in the last couple of paragraphs it looks like some printing is missing.

I asked because I was thinking about what you said about commerce members sending pms towards the end of the contest if they hadn't given all the cards away. I was thinking members could help pm some of the codes. I think the cards should prove popular though and maybe all will be given away before the deadline.

Are members limited to picking up only one card?

My understanding is: 987 cards were printed (each with a different unique code and member's screen name) Pick up a card at a commerce member's business or p.com's office, etc. Send a pm to the member listed on the card and give them their code. That member comes to this thread and posts their code The members that post their code have a chance to win $200. The winner will be selected (from those that have met the rules posted) in a drawing. If you are the friend (person that sends the code to the winner) you win a free membership.
