@jakedduck1 Hello, Leonard.....Be thankful for that trainer! I'd love to have a trainer to guide me and help me get stronger, learn some secrets to help me walk again.....good for you. Grammarly is pretty good for my needs. It helps since arthritis in my hands, fingers, wrist, etc, really keeps me making mistakes on the keys and it's simple. I have no desire to have anything I pay for in this area. this helps as much as I care about it. love it's free.

haven't chatted lately with anyone but I really miss you. hope you're doing better and seizures are better controlled. as much as is possible. I don't miss having seizures or taking the Lamictal. It worked nicely, helped for the last 20ish years, but glad to be off it and all the other stuff that interfered with me being me.

Leonard, I'm more the 'real' me than I've been all my life. First time ever I feel like what you see is really me. Can you understand that? sure is a good feeling. and, I like myself better. think faster, clearer, etc. such a surprise blessing,
I'm working w/integrated medicine now. It's wonderful, a true gift to me. I have weekly acupuncture, working with a nutritionist, not seeing a 'wellness counselor whom I think would be very helpful, but Medicare either doesn't pay at all or not enough for Mayo to charge Medicare-self pay only at about $400+...therefore, I'm not seeing her,

the director of the dept put me on a new probiotic, Biome Probiotic Colon Support, online, now from Probulin. He said he's had good results with patients who didn't respond well to others, I've been diagnosed now with IBS combined, with constipation & diarrhea, mostly diarrhea. They don't know why this disease occurs, (anxiety, stress, spices,???), but for the first time in 30+, years, life is closer to livable.

I don't know if you've tried acupuncture at all, but it is worth a ck into to see if it may help with any number of things: seizures, anxiety, depression, pain, internal issues...I'm having improvement in several areas - anxiety, muscle relaxation, back pain, neck pain, arthritis pain, headaches, and whatever internal issues, don't know what but I'm truly impressed with this treatment I didn't believe worked. I was wrong. It's self-pay, too, $175/session. I'm paying, it's worth it. Even today, the day after, I'm calmer, less pain, etc.

Enjoy all the goodies from Halloween and Lori. Hope all is ok and your days are blessed. Elizabeth
