mosquito relief for mini donkeys
Comments (10)I did not have trouble with my elder donkey wearing it. The younger one gave me a little trouble. Once they realize that the bugs are not gnawing at their ears they welcome it. I have always spent alot of time scratching inside their ears and apply SWAT to the raw areas. They love that. Also, no barn flies in their eyes making them all gooey. You really should try one. If you do, you must get the one with ears. I think the masks without ears are stupid! What good are they. Where I live the bugs are horrible. I call it the bug Mecca of the universe. The leg wraps are good to. The flies chew on those donkeys cannon bones until it is just raw meat. I take them and the masks off at night. I have to say it took a day or so for them to get used to the wraps. Sometimes after a roll the mask needs readjusting but they handle it very well. They are definitely a great thing for my donkeys and horses. Would not be without them now. One word of caution: During this two plus week heat wave we have been having in New Hampshire I won't put the masks on. They really sweat under them and it's not good. I wish the makers would make a lighter weight mask for this reason. Also, with the donkey masks I have had to make adjustments. A little stitch here an there to make them fit a bit better....See MorePalpitations
Comments (30)Nutrasweet has been inplicated in abnormal heart rhythms. "Statement of H. J. Roberts, M.D. Concerning Cardiac and CHEST Complaints Attributed to Aspartame (NUTRASWEET (R)) Many patients and correspondents have asked whether products containing aspartame can cause or aggravate symptoms relating to the heart, blood pressure and chest. Based on my experience, as detailed in multiple publications and books (see below), the answer is YES. Hundreds of such instances have been documented in my database of over 950 aspartame reactors. There was dramatic improvement after avoiding aspartame, and a prompt and predictable recurrence of these problems when the patient resumed aspartame products ... knowingly or inadvertently. ABNORMAL HEART RHYTHM More than 120 individuals experienced a detectable change in their heart rate and rhythm after consuming aspartame - including gum and products that did not contain caffeine. This included "fluttering", (palpitations) and rapid heart action (tachycardia). A number had even undergone heart monitoring (Holter testing) and other studies, especially for the associated weakness and faint. One patient developed a slow pulse and complete heart block within hours after consuming an aspartame drink for the first time. His attack spontaneously subsided within a day without a pacemaker; and there has been no recurrence.

Comments (15)Hi girls i am new to this web and not so new to the symptoms of perimenopause. Please excuse my typing but i am not a computer user! I would like to tell you all about my terror filled journey! I suffered from severe panic attacks for years then some depression I tried celexa for a couple of years then I felt asif I was better so got of that drug...it was no easy feat with brain tremors and all,but nothing compared to the "flat line" feelings and no sex drive whatsoever! Then all was going along until BLAM... I was blindsided with severe middle of the night wake up from sound sleep panic anxiety,flip flop palpitations!! I would lay there paralyzed with fear,I couldn't move. If igot up I felt chest tightness trembling felt like i would pass out and of course that i was dying! I kind of knew it was as panic attack but it started coming on every night around 3 am or so and that was the end of my sleep. I got scared to go to sleep so I went back to the DR. tests all negative for heart etc. I do have mitral valve prolapse diagnosed in my 20's I am now 50. She put me on xanax and that helped take the edge off the anxiety but I can't use tht all the time I refused to go on another antdepressant at which the DR. just shook her head. I modified my diet very strictly I now eat only fruits vegetables and whole grains and drink only water or seltzer I started taking calcium and magnesium (a blood test came back high for calcium?? has anyone ever heard of to much calcium in a womans body?)I also take some of every other vitamin known to man but yet I still had occasional bouts of racing heart and anxiety.Sometimes even appearing during the day so I could hardly work. Then I started exercising again and lo and behold I am cautiously opptomistic ,but so far so good.It has been a few days now (the calm before the storm?) but I am sleeping through the night and have eiter none or very light palps but no anxiety.I also am practicing deep breathing and relaxation exercises. This whole process is exhausting and frightening.I also have aaaaasthma and high blood pressure. I am on 2 meds for the BP none for the asthma except singulair. Wish I would have taken better care of myself as a young woman,seems I did every bad and wrong thing,now i'm paying the price! This website was the first time I haven't felt so alone. My Husband and kids are not very supportive and am glad to have found others who are also in the same wagon.Bless you all and feel free to answer me. stressed...See MoreAcupuncture - has anyone tried it for pain relief?
Comments (13)Acupuncture cured Ma's frozen shoulder and my aunt's sciatica. Papa's an MD in Acupuncture, and I preferred the needles to painkillers when my headaches got too bad LOL No change in diet, no herbs. Dad says it takes multiple sittings to be able to notice a difference, but some of his clients reported improvement after the first sitting itself. He stressed the importance of continuing the treatment even if you feel good after the first sitting or a few sittings. Ma's shoulder felt better after the first 3 sittings so she stopped ... and a couple of weeks later took fifteen more sittings. At an acupuncture clinic, I saw low-frequency current being applied to the needles for gentle stimulation (but nobody was screaming in pain LOL). But that I'd never be able to take, LOL. I've heard of acupuncture being used during childbirth for pain-free delivery - no idea if it works....See Morecatherinet
