Mosey Update: Can Mosey Have Some Purrs? I Need some too, please
"Kyla =^..^=" wrote in message ... The little guy seems to be feeling better today without the ham...problem solved there. Thank you all so much for your info and advice, and purrs. read on: "Jofirey" "Kyla =^..^=" "Judith Latham" [gentle snip] Purrs for Mosey and for you too. Don't feel guilty about giving him ham, I'm sure you'll find something to give him as a treat. Thank you..maybe some nice catnip I'm sorry about your knees. I don't know of anything to suggest other that things that have already been said, I wish I did. Or maybe I do, apparently fizzy drinks can aggravate problems with joints. DH had really painful knees and a year ago was thinking he was going to end up in a wheelchair. Luckily he went on a diet, lost four stones in weight and after the first stone his knees began to improve and now he only gets pain after he has had a glass of Coke. Judith Wow, I did not know that either. Ham is bad for cats and fizzy drinks (we drink Canada Dry Ginger Ale) can aggravate joint problems? *sigh* I am about ready to give up!! That's a new one on me. How much is a 'stone'? Well, I'll try not drinking any fizzy drinks and go 'saltless' and see what happens. I'm glad Mosey is feeling better, though. Thanks for the info. Is 'everything' bad for us? Kyla When you get right down to it, living is eventually fatal. Just some things are better or worse for us to eat than others. Sounds like it. I mostly have to try to do a lot of pain control with little medication. So anything that can aggravate fluid retention is bad. Salt, etc. I gave up adding salt to' anything' eons ago. When I was younger (in my 30's), I'd go overboard with it. I'm in so much freakin pain, I' have' to take meds, and I hate that too. I've tried going without so much as a Tylenol but extreme pain makes my already high BP even higher, which can be a bad thing. I've been hospitalized from high BP twice in the last 3 years (stress related) and more times than I care to remember for my knees. Anything carbonated is bad for bone density and for digestion. Wonderful I drink Ginger Ale (Canada Dry) for a bad stomach . I have both kinds of arthritis, Osteo and rhuematoid, and possibly Fibromyalgia. Pain is my friend...NOT!!! And caffeine increases the perception of pain. Oh great, and I just finished a nice latte. Guess I'll switch to chamomille tea and sleep all day. Nice big glass of room temperature water anyone? I suppose ice water is bad for me too? On the positive side (I have to keep my mind off that crap), in the last few days our cherry tree has started to bloom. It looks like it has big puffs of popcorn balls tied to it. And even better, a few minutes ago I saw the first bee of the season. We always worry that it won't get pollinated because the bees won't find it or because the weather will keep them away. Big, fresh ripe cherries are good for most of what ails me. Jo I LOVE fresh cherries...but they're probably bad for me too. With my luck, I'd choke on a pit. How about yogurt? Good or bad? Thanx for the info, Jo Kyla Yogurt is usually good, as long as you aren't lactose intolerant. I like the ones sweetened with Splendid, but that bothers some. Cherries are supposed to be good for arthritis. I know they make me feel good just because they taste so good. We drink a lot of the Crystal Ice powdered beverage mix here. Charlie just about lives on their Raspberry iced tea. The latte sounds like a lovely treat. I allow myself one, or rarely two cups of coffee or the equivalent a day. But I either switch to decaff or stop after that. If I'm going to get my teeth cleaned or need some likely painful medical procedure, I'll skip the coffee until its done. Charlie and I have a system for major medical appointments, outpatient surgery and the like. The victim doesn't get coffee until they are finished. But the non victim/driver will have a great cup of coffee waiting for them in the car. Jo |

Mosey Update: Can Mosey Have Some Purrs? I Need some too, please
The cherry juice isn't the sweet stuff we buy at the grocery. A health food
store has it in a bottle that you dilute. I believe it helps with inflation. I am chicken so I add splenda to it. Carbonation robs us of bone density. Have you simply googled, "sore knees" painful knees"? I know you have them but there are articles of different things that are involved, what makes them worse, what might help etc. Like reduce salt because of swelling, don't drink a lot of carbonation and so on.

apparently fizzy drinks can aggravate problems with joints. DH had really
painful knees and a year ago was thinking he was going to end up in a wheelchair. Luckily he went on a diet, lost four stones in weight and after the first stone his knees began to improve and now he only gets pain after he has had a glass of Coke. Wow, I did not know that either. Ham is bad for cats and fizzy drinks (we drink Canada Dry Ginger Ale) can aggravate joint problems? *sigh* I am about ready to give up!! That's a new one on me. It'll be the phosphate (phosphoric acid) content of cola drinks, not the fizz. I haven't drunk any Canada Dry for more than 30 years so I've no idea what's in it - read the label. No phosphate, probably no problem. Phosphate in soft drinks is a significant cause of osteoporosis and also causes kidney stones. ==== j a c k at c a m p i n . m e . u k === http://www.campin.me.uk ==== Jack Campin, 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland == mob 07800 739 557 CD-ROMs and free stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, and Mac logic fonts |

Even the water here is bad..we have to use bottled water or we are going to get another PUR water filter when we can afford it. On the positive side (I have to keep my mind off that crap), in the last few days our cherry tree has started to bloom. It looks like it has big puffs of popcorn balls tied to it.

Big, fresh ripe cherries are good for most of what ails me. Jo This reminded me of a notice which used to be on the wall at our Doctors (before PC) it said "Don't worry life is only a temporary situation" people who remember it said it made them smile. Another one I saw, though not at the Docs was "Life is a sexually transmitted terminal disease" I think we may have a strange sense of humour around here. I find a nice glass of red wine helps with most problems. Red wine gives me migraines...gaaaaaaaaaaaaah!! I can't drink ANY alcohol because of the meds I'm on. Now I found out chocolate is bad for me for a number of reasons. I give up :/ Thanks though. Kyla --the miserable Judith -- Judith Latham Stourbridge, West Midlands. UK. |
