Jon, Pregabalin is known as Lyrica here in the USA and has efficacy reports that hit both extremes of useful and harmful. If it's working for your mum, count her in the lucky column because it sounds like it's working for her. Pay attention to her heart, please. The personality changes may...

AS for your Mom's exercise routine...… My wife was a nurse aid for years and would do what they call 'range of motion exercises' where she would move the arms and legs of the patient to get blood moving and to stretch. This helped me after my surgeries. It's low impact, low stress and very...

I'm curious about the name of this miracle drug they have her on. I've not found a singe drug that manages bone / muscle and nerve pain all at the same time. The three are distinctly different as I have experienced them and the drug to use is also different although opiates work for both...

This is an unfortunate fact of life.

I not only empathize with a lot of the frustration being conveyed in the book but also identify with those frustrations. Chapter 5 maybe not so much. I agree the education systems is messed up but I wonder if the author is discounting a bit too much in his criticisms of teacher motivations...

I've listened to the first five chapters this morning. The rant of this book has me hooked.

I don't know about beer brewing (*yet*).

Cold brew coffee: Its ground a bit more course than drip coffee (normal) and left out on the counter in a French press overnight. It tends to have a nuttier flavor, less acid and more caffeine. My favorite is Gevalia Costa Rican.

Both., and variety. I start my day with a Columbian brew and hazelnut creamer. I used to drink it black but can't stomach it well enough any more. I like cold brew in the summer. For tea, I prefer the herbal blends to the straight up tea.

Can I take notes on what you do as a "Para Forum participant" and completely change the way you operate too?

There was a time when two grown men could kick each other's butts and shake hands when it's over. Now, even if neither wants to press charges, the police will charge one or both. There is no settling things between ourselves any longer, this is why we sue.

@Jon Keep the fluids flowing and nutrients coming in. If you can't eat, try some chicken or vegetable stock. IN our family, we make "Sick Soup" - basically all the vegetables we can fit in the pot and some diced chicken.

Jon, Another part of the equation that you may be missing, and this is likely to upset a few people but I'm going here anyway. When it comes to participating in US Politics, we have four active methods to correct our government. 1. Vote 2. Petition your representative. 3. Sue in court 4. 2nd...

My $.02: If you have the right to vote, do so or at least keep your trap shut on politics. If you don't want to participate, fine. Then don't participate.

I hope you all get better soon!
