Strange coincidence

[quote:e1050bc5b5]Having imparted this rather boring piece of information I'm off out into the garden to enjoy the 'Costa' type temperatures .

Not boring at all, Lizzie Ellen. Even if it doesn't lead to discovery of the trigger for PMR. Coincidence itself is fascinating. I walked into our garden shop last week carrying my defunct face and ear shield head -gear only to be met by the assistant wearing the very model I needed. That's not earth shattering either, I know but we did all laugh and say that \" you couldn't make it up\"

Back to the sunshine like you. BettyE

Hi Lizzie Ellen

Not boring at all but quite a bizarre coincidence - with your friend Jesus's experience does this put paid to the theory that the origins of PMR lie in the Vikings landing here?!!!

MrsO

Maybe Mrs O. Jesus certainly doesn't look like a Viking! My Grandson thinks its amazing that I live next door to Jesus, I had to explain to him that it wasn't the one in Heaven.....................

Lizzie Ellen

Lizzie Ellen - reading about your grandson really made me chuckle..........also reminded me of the film Whistle Down the Wind with Hayley Mills.

MrsO

Putting paid to Vikings theory, I think not.

Research centre in Madrid very interested in PMR and GCA.

Think Castilian!

Enough of that - pseudo gout cleared, but guess what - another truck came along - foot - off to see GP again.

Sometimes I think I am slowly working my way through all the 82 side effects.

Grrrrrrrrr. :doh:

mrs K - I should have paid more attention in my history lessons, shouldn't I? Those Vikings got everywhere!

Poor you, as if pseudo gout wasn't enough but hope the Doc can sort the foot out now.

As for feeling that you're working your way through all the 82 side effects, I so sympathise with you - my latest one is that the enamel on my teeth keeps breaking down in spite of using special toothpaste so now going through the process of getting my third crown in a year! I can think of better things I'd like to be spending my pension on :wink: !

Do let us know how you get on with that foot and good luck!

MrsO

Hi Mrs O!

It's just occurred to me - I know you eat an amazingly healthy diet so do you include loads of orange and other fruit juices? They have been shown to have a massive effect on tooth enamel even in otherwise healthy young people resulting in them requiring crowns in teens and twenties! And I'm sure your dentist has told you the most important tooth cleaning time is actually in the morning BEFORE breakfast - she says, having not done so! - as this reduces the acid impact on your teeth even further.

Just a thought, and one I shall be bearing in mind...

Hello Eileen

No, I don't drink any fruit drinks apart from my early morning glass of warm water with a few squirts of fresh lemon juice (good daily detox for the body). Although highly acidic it amazingly turns to alkaline in the body. I even rinse my mouth out with water straight afterwards to help protect my teeth from the acid. No, I wasn't aware that the best time for cleaning teeth is actually BEFORE breakfast and will definitely do this from now on, although, knowing me, I'll probably want to do them after breakfast as well - old habits etc! Thank you so much for that tip, Eileen - perhaps I will have a few teeth left in my head after all, not to mention a few more pounds in my pocket :lol:

Hi all!

Just getting the brain back in gear after the GB trip - Lizzie Ellen, how interesting that you and Jesus developed PMR at a similar time because there are theories that autoimmune diseases are often triggered by environmental influences although there are few suggestions I've some across as to what they might be. However... How fascinating!
