TerryW: I have just been going thru my coin collection, have not done it in a while,  It has doubled in value

Murf: if you can sell it

TerryW: Been collecting since I was a kid

Murf: for the grand kid

TerryW: about 8 years old

Murf: I collected stamps for a while

Murf: coins are better

Murf: I think

TerryW: Never give a child access to a coin collection

Murf: he'll spend it?

TerryW: they don't understand the value, they just see them as spending money

Murf: LOL

Murf: gummy bears

TerryW: my parents used to go to Vegas when I was small and they would come back with buckets of Nickels, dimes & quarters and I would go thru them and get the good ones

Murf: cool

TerryW: This was in the early 70's so I would still find lots of silver ones and indian head nickels

Murf: I bet they are worth a bit now

TerryW: I must have about 30 lbs in a bag of wheat cents

Murf: You should sell them on eBay

TerryW: maybe

Murf: I still need to list my lift

TerryW: you have KD?

Murf: Yes, with all the sueing going on

jahbundance: SBMA so they say

loshimo1: Falling down is always no fun. However, when it happens outside and you're alone, that's really scary!1

Murf: and they don't know what the problem is

TerryW: were you tested with the DNA blood test

MikeG: sorry to hear that Murf.  Falling down is the worst thing that can happen to us.

jahbundance: not yet, but it's the next thing I guess

myblackberrypho: they think your on drugs or drunk

TerryW: ok

MikeG: especially when you can't find anything to get up on...

TerryW: I tell people I feel like the stock market,  I keep falling

Alexandre: I suggest that KDA should support the scientists that are making researches with stem cells all over the world

jahbundance: I'm in SoFla Terry

TerryW: I would rather be more like a gallon of gas

jameson411: lol

TerryW: Sofia ?

TerryW: where is that

TerryW: OK Duh me

JoeK entered the room.

Gary_KS: Murf, keep a whistle and blow whistle to give attention near you.

Murf: ok LOL

jameson411: an S.O.S., eh?

MikeG: where in So FL?  I'm in Tampa Bay.

jahbundance: Jupiter, just North of WPBeach

Alexandre: because there are a great hope for the treatment or even a cure of neorological diseases with this kind of researches

Murf: TJ can't log on (dial-up connection)

MikeG: Great!  That's one more to add to our group.  We have about 4 of us now.

loshimo1: I took a spill a few days ago in our kitchen. Was tasting something that was unexpectently hot, turned around, lost my balance, fell on my knees and then hit the floor with my head. Luckly there was no damage to the floor.

jameson411: ouch

billeric: I am on dial up Murf and no problem

Murf: LOL

jameson411: I'm glad I didn't injure a bike.

Murf: I've broken the floor in the bathroom kitchen and garage

jameson411: The bike shop owner did look at me funny though

loshimo1: Lucky for me, my wife was nearby and was able to lift me up.

Murf: He thought you were drunk

Murf: most people do

jameson411: probably.

jameson411: And it's not like I

jameson411: i'm going to explain about kd

fl-don: brb

loshimo1: BTW... my wife has this technique she uses to lift me off the floor. Anyone interested?

Murf: Hard for us to drink becuase our legs are rubber already LOL

jameson411: yes.

myblackberrypho: My general practioner says i need to join a gym

Murf: Say NO

jameson411: I

Murf: bad idea Blackberry

jameson411: i'll teach my students the tech so they can help me up when I fall in my class

Murf: I tried that

myblackberrypho: lift weights to build muscle who is he kidding

Murf: LOL

myblackberrypho: he asked if it was fro JF kennedys disese and his back

TerryW: You need to see a physical therapist that is familiar with working with people that neuromuscular diseases

MikeG: a therapist who understands your problem and limits is a better choice.

Murf: Ron Wiker can't get on either

loshimo1: Whenever I fall, she gets in front of me, puts my arms around her neck and then give me a bear hug while lifting me (with her knees bent of course). She says she can lift me like a sack of potatoes.

TerryW: what method is that Lou

TerryW: ok

Murf: Lou Lou

myblackberrypho: I made him a print out from this websiteto inform

Alexandre: I am doing hydrogimnastic and for me is being good!

billeric: What is it Alex?

myblackberrypho: he put me thru heatrt tests and even said at one pint I had ALS

loshimo1: A nurse taught us that one time when I fell outside the grocery store. She must have been about 5'2" and 105lbs and she lifted me like a small kid.

myblackberrypho: so does my 18 year old daughter

Alexandre: is just exercises in the pool that has low impact, I can do many things that I can´t do out of the water

MikeG: good idea Alex

MikeG: you can't fall in water...

myblackberrypho: I need to get away from cold my fert and hands are like ice in winter cat use them at all

Alexandre: it isvery common here in Brazil for reabilitation

TerryW: I know that feeling Blackberry

TerryW: Blackberry  do you uses those heat packs that go in your pockets

TerryW: I use them

TerryW: buy in bulk

myblackberrypho: I felt GREAT when I went to Vegas last July

TerryW: Our last conferenc was in Vegas for the KDA

Murf: TJ will e-mail you Terry with what he got when he tried to login this morning

TerryW: ok

myblackberrypho: Hot baths and showers work temp

TerryW: yes

Murf: Ron is going to try a little more before giving up but I think they are getting the same thing. login ... click ... boot!

MikeG: Blackberry, that's exactly what I was facing but much farther south in Atlanta.  I moved to Florida - Tampa Bay area - and it's fantastic!  Real hot in the summer and almost freezes in the winter.

MikeG: it's 75 right now

TerryW: sometimes when my hands get cold when i am outside and i come in I run a sink with warm water in it and then stick my hands in the water for a few mins

TerryW: it works well

MikeG: will be 85 - 88 later

TerryW: hurts at first

TerryW: that is why I do not make it real hot

Murf: I have my pool at 95 now and pain goes away for a while

myblackberrypho: Man when it get 17 below 0 its brutal here

TerryW: I also have a small heating pad going at the desk

Murf: 104 is the limit for us I think

TerryW: I wrap my hands up in it

TerryW: works great

TerryW: keeps the finger working

TerryW: s

Murf: My legs hurt when they get cold

myblackberrypho: I can handle 104 if its not humid

billeric: More of a hot tub Murf!

Murf: water temp

MikeG: I like the hot tub set at about 102

Murf: but it feels sooooooo goooooooood

loshimo1: I've made my own warmer by using an old clean sock, stuffing it with uncooked dry rice, tying the sock then microwaving it for 2 to 4 minutes. Once done, it remains warm for at least 15 minutes and can be used on any part of the body.

myblackberrypho: does anybody have any problem with very dry hands

TerryW: good idea

myblackberrypho: and fert

myblackberrypho: feet

TerryW: blackberry the only time I get really dry hands is when I am using the fireplace putting wood in it

MikeG: I have dry hands

billeric: Always a problem in Arizona Blackberry

TerryW: i get rough dry knuckles

myblackberrypho: my neuro says its a symptom

MikeG: used to be wet and sweaty but now dry as a bone!

Murf: thats from dragging them

MikeG: :)

TerryW: lately I cant even lift a piece of firewood

myblackberrypho: it is onand off the warmer the beter they get

Murf: My arms have been giving out lately too

billeric: I agree Terry.  Lifting anything is not good

Murf: It happened in front of my parents last week and they were very surprised

Murf: They are still in denial

Murf: sort of

myblackberrypho: my family gget used to seeing my crawl up stairs and i do mean crawl

Murf: you need a stair lift

Murf: only cost me 80K on top of that :-(

MikeG: wow!!!

Murf: I added 600 sq ft to the house

MikeG: what will that do to your property taxes?

Murf: live outside town so it will not go up

loshimo1: So.... Any one have any thoughts on the upcoming results of the dutasteride trial?

Murf: so they say

MikeG: that would not be good in FL

MikeG: loshimo1: No one is oficially publishing anything about it yet but I think it will turn up neg.

JoeK has left the room.

loshimo1: That's my understanding.

myblackberrypho: my brother is taking something hmy brothere says it makes him throw up and gives him the runs

Murf: It will be hard to tell because the dutasteride is supposed to stop the dihydrotestosterone from entering the cell

MikeG: I don't think it is any different than the placebo...

Murf: and killing it (

Murf: we'll have to wait on results

myblackberrypho: he lives in cleveland and goes to cleveland clinic and says nothing hels him he looks terrible and is anti social

Murf: something positive will come out of this ... it always does

billeric: Is there any word on what the next trial will consist of?
