I found better prices at a a place in Monroe. With shipping and tax, I got 2 10' X 12' brown/silver tarps for $30. I found them online. They would have been $50 plus tax at HD or Lowe's. I love the shopping search engines.

Thanks CL!
I have an MRI and ultrasound next week. They found spots on the left now as well as the right so they want to get a better look at both. Good grief! Bout ready to say ta ta to the ta-tas!
Sorry for the sad sense of humor but it might be kind of fun to pick a new size! Wonder if they can do a tummy tuck at the same time? The twins kind of did me in!
Schedule you for a stereo tactic X-Ray yet?
It is really interesting!
Very cool technology!

So, anyway: a lot of what has been suggested I've tried over the years, including wheat elimination and the whole candida diet thing; some of my long term observable problems go back to my mother having hyperemensis gravida while she was pregnant with me and then being delivered by high forcepts. The extra fun kicker on the HE thing (which is strongly connected to appetite and satiety disorders) was that she was treated with a drug that was known to interfere with tooth formation, so I spent my entire childhood being exposed to mercury (amalgum fillings may or may not be a significant source of mercury, but the process of having them seated is, and I had a new filling every month for long periods in childhood) and the rest of my life with spectacular dentist's bills. Add to that a avalanche of infectious disease starting the November I was seven- chickenpox, hard measles in January, bronchial pneumonia in February, mumps in March, and then shingles that summer- and a skull fracture on my sixteenth birthday, and it gets to look as if I'm fated to be a bad example. This is atop a jackpot family history of Type 2 diabetes and some neurological and skeletal problems which are strongly inherited.
Anyway, makes me cranky. And aware that my questions are not other people's questions, nor my answers appropriate to other people, except maybe the ones that say "be kind and patient with yourself and try to keep moving around, because inactivity makes everything worse."
I had a moment of supreme clarity yesterday, and here it is: I will be selling the EE cockerels, or giving them away, as soon as I can sex them. There is a difference between keeping five chicks, and keeping fourteen - not just in terms of feed costs, but time and space ones: bedding and clean up and shelter size are all number related, and I cannot stretch my resources to cover all of them. I would even be willing, more than willing, to cover feed costs if someone else could take them and raise them: I'm broke, but compared to how tired I am, I'm rolling in money.
It feels like defeat to admit that, but I remind myself that Napolean would have been better to turn around when he was half-way to Moscow, and leave it at that.

Way to shop smart! I'll send this information along to Promised Land.
She uses a lot of tarps.

I was diagnosed in late 2005, when my son was less than a year old. I think either the birth (which was a c/s) or the following sleep deprivation set it off. I had pain in my elbows and hips that wouldn't go away. It was the elbow pain that sent me to the doctor; they thought I had tendinitis and wanted to inject cortisone. Finally, one sent me to a rheumatologist instead. I think, as FMS cases go, mine is not too severe. My biggest symptom is fatigue, followed by a general achiness/tension that I sometimes wonder if a long hot soak or the right massage would fix (not that I've ever been able to try).
I'm of the impression that FMS pain is *not* caused by inflammation. Am I mixing that up?
I think that every case of Fiobro is different just like every person is so I can only tell you about mine. I was diagnosed in 1994. After many kinds of treatment from different Dr's I turned to alternative med. they told me that if I was allergic to certain foods it would cause inflammation internaly like hay fever makes your eyes itch and you sneeze. I did allergy testing with them, found I was allergic to alot of foods, went on a diet that used only foods that I did not normally eat,and was not allergic to. Did this for about 6 months. then I could start to add back but only very rarely one ,at a time,those that I showed reaction to. I worked for me! Now I can tell the next day if I have eaten someting I should not, painful stiff joints, fever, poor vision, mind fog and (poor spelling) I have fallen and broken both ankles at the same time-don't ever do that- and now both wrists. I have been having a terrible time since I broke my left wrist in July and had to have a SSteel plate put in, I am begining to wonder if the plate is causeing some kind of "inflamation itself".I also have RA and secondary sjogrens syndrome. Autoimune
My ex-SiL had it bad.
Following a severe car accident where she was T-boned & crushed some leg bones, fractured neck, and into the hospital in some sort of traction for a week, then in the home in bed for weeks.
We discussed it, as I had recently come down with it also.
I just fell & tore all ligaments in my knee, and a few weeks later had my hysterctomy.
I was hurting!!
She had researched it & belonged to "groups" and she told me it is likely caused by 2 things..
1) A total shock to the system
and 2) instant hospitalization was found to produce extremely low D levels, preventing Calcium/phosporous uptake and that can greatly effect joints.
It was at that time all in research, about 5 years ago.
Since then, I have recovered.
But if I get any wheat gluten in me, og boy!!
I have a hard painful time just trying to bend my fingers.
Nausea, Vomiting the "trots"
..Abdominal bloating & CHILLS, shaking wracking chills..and I can do nothing but lay down.
Right where I am.
Every joint is screaming & swollen.
My hyper active auto immune system goes crazy & attacks the entire gastro system from mouth to the other end.
Burning itching like strept throat from mouth (even nasal systems) to the other end.
Asthma, and heaviness!
I can barely breath, it is an effort & I have NO energy whatsoever & usually sleep 20 hrs round the clock from day 1 to day 4 or 5.
During the following first week, the intestinal lining, now fired by the immunal system, is expelled.
I cannot digest much of anything so can only eat gatorade & jello.
The second week I start feeling better and can introduce some foods without much fiber..rather like introducing foods to an infant.
I can almost do a few chores now, and welts/derma grafica & itching/mouth sores (cold sores) and dermititis herpetiformis are crusting over & healing.
Week three, joints stop swelling & I can bend fingers again..start feeling better and have some energy.
Week four, I am back to "normal" and feeling "dynamic" with energy again.
Lately, every bout with wheat exposure has been increasingly violent to the point where I may go straight away to the hospital next time for a prednesone treatment to calm the immunal attack down, before it does so much damage that I will not recover.
Already I bleed too much, too long when simply scratched.
My simple country doc has suggested I go get A,K, B & iron shots..maybe even up to 1 X a week.
(NO WAY!!!!!
)
It seems the lining in my colon has been scarred so many times that absorption is getting difficult no matter how well I eat...***Sigh!***
I hate prednisone, can induce both Manic behavior and drug induced diabetes in me.
Has happened before.
But it may be better than the auto immune attack.

My Fibro isn't inflammatory, so I don't get any relief from ant-inflammatory drugs for the Fibro pain. What is going on with my hips seems to have another cause, because I know that it is inflammation. I was also was told that Fibro isn't progressive, and I am now sure that isn't true. Things have gotten much worse over the years. I do agree that it does have a rather wide variety of symptoms, and that it can be different for everyone. I think that the diagnosis of Fibro has become a dumping ground for doctors that don't know what is wrong with us. It's become a kind of catch all diagnosis. There are a number of new meds for treating Fibro, but the side effects can be just plain dangerous. I have always had problems taking antidepressants. It is automatically assumed that if you have Fibro then you must be depressed. I don't agree, at times I can be sad and depressed that I am in pain all the time, but most of the time I have things to do people to see, and plans I want to accomplish. I know that I don't have only one feeling. I know this will not harm me or kill me. It is simply the way it is for me. It's kind of like missing a limb, you have to learn to adapt to the way your body works now. It can really suck elves some days, but it isn't the worst thing that can happen to you.
Cowgirl Grace told me not too long ago something that can attack your hip joints long, long after you stop taking it: Prednesone.
Maybe she can come on & elaborate.

Thanks CL!
I have an MRI and ultrasound next week. They found spots on the left now as well as the right so they want to get a better look at both. Good grief! Bout ready to say ta ta to the ta-tas!
Sorry for the sad sense of humor but it might be kind of fun to pick a new size! Wonder if they can do a tummy tuck at the same time? The twins kind of did me in!
Dang! Hopeful it is a little calcification - I like your sense of humor!
25 years ago, a year or two after her double, my aunt who lives in the Netherands had new ones made from her abdominal fat! She was the first person to ever have this done. The surgeon was from San Francisco, but the U.S. would not allow that procedure at the time; Holland is a bit more liberal (in every way). She is now nearly 80, still cancer-free and has a great figure! She almost died of a staph infection shortly after the procedure. Since she was the first to have the experimental surgery done, surgeons from all over Europe and the US came to examine (and handle) her new twins. That was a high price to pay for a "free" operation!
OH MY!!!!!!!!

My "dots" turned out to be "thichenings" and were removed by stereo tactic procedure..took minutes,,I felt nothing but some "pressure" and then they installed a micro chip thingy to "lamd mark" the area in case anything regrows.
The entire "thickening" was removed by the procedure & biopsied, there was no "surgery" and it was found benign.
So the micro chip is still in there, and when I have a mammo I have to remind the imaging staff that I have a chip, lest they think I was hit by buck shot....
DH says they can now track me by satellite !
