I was advised by the doc who treats me for lyme disease to use nattokinase to thin my blood when platelets were clumping. He said long-term infection thickens blood. nattokinase conditions blood.

ppicklee,

garyak, prayers for your struggle too.

squiffy, mj can actually relieve spasm, per Martin Randal, MD. loobie, lucky! i haven't gotten a buzz from mj in more than a decade! i use it for the leg pain. don't feel guilty for using medicine. for pwms, in canada there is a throat spray (sativex). in the usa there is a synthetic pill (Marinol)....

don't have the strength/stamina for the accelerator, don't have the speed to get to the brake. don't drive anymore.

thanks for the laugh and the smile.
late-night talk shows on tv can get me to laugh, but i find things that make me smile more rare. i appreciate it.
