This nematode isn't quite as complicated as a fish and is easier to believe it could survive being frozen. I guess some insects, such as flies, even in today's modern world are built to survive winter temperatures by hibernating or some such thing. When the temperatures warm up again the flies just ...

This was too incredible for me to not pass it on.

I read yesterday where Phoenix has experienced 25 days of 110+ ℉ for the last 25 days. It seems as if Texas is also being broiled this entire summer. Us folks in Missouri have had several 90 degree days but yesterday was the first time this year we flipped over 100 degrees. We can do the same today,...

I'm very glad you are not shaking so much that you cannot type your thoughts on this website. I am not glad at all to learn of your accelerated decline. Then again, nobody can be sure of what to expect in these situations. It's got to be difficult to remain positive, but I think you are doing better...

That list of questions you describe is to test for cognitive decline. Depression is something else with a different set of questions. I'm not sure what happened exactly but the first time I saw this doctor in O'Fallon they did the oral questioning that you describe. Subsequent visits involved much f...

Can we change this thread to a new one with a different title?

Of course we can. I'll do it now, but it would have been perfectly fine if you started a new thread yourself.

By Jove, I think you got it! The sad news is now we are headed toward winter. Then again, my weather station is recording a temperature of 104℉ at the moment in my back yard. This is supposed to keep up for a week or more.

Medicare is similar to Social Security in that it was never intended to pay for all the medical care you need. Then, too, the pharmaceutical companies and medical suppliers often take advantage of the system and exploit the consumer in the process. Contrary to popular belief, the healthcare system i...

Those long lists of questions from the doctor can be used to detect depression, but most of them deal with cognitive decline or dementia. Every year when I go for my annual exam paid for by Medicare the question of depression shows up on those forms too. A lot of those questions seem inane and point...

I'm glad your doctor agrees with my analysis. LOL Stress certainly contributes to an increase in pulse rate but you have a few other things going on that add to the problem. The stress is a mental condition and you actually can do something to lessen it, which is why I suggested meditation. Things l...

My description of the DVT experiences I had are accurate, but not as dangerous as my comments might have made it sound. The thrombi in my feet did travel up to my lungs which was very traumatic but not as dangerous as if they reached the heart or the brain. A simple injection to dissolve the clots a...

Potentially the DVT is sudden death should the clots end up in the wrong places. In that regard my condition seems a bit more lethal than yours, but the good news is that should some major disaster occur, it's instant darkness for me. That is, it's instant if it's in the right place, such as the hea...

Essentially you are describing a symptom called Tachycardia. My wife used to experience that up until we had our first child. There are a few reasons why the pulse rate increases, and you probably know them all. I would guess in your case it's primarily due to stress. You anticipate what you must do...

The bottom line is that they know a lot about tinnitus, but they are not certain what causes it. People who have it usually also have high frequency hearing loss, and that is common to oldsters. But, obviously, it can happen early in life too. I agree with you that those kids who must "feel&quo...

As far as I know there is nothing wrong with my heart. The circulation problems I have are due to venous insufficiency. Some people claim that can be brought about by sitting too much such as an office worker would do. The clots formed in my left foot apparently hung around for some time before they...

I can monitor how much memory a program consumes and Google Chrome was at the top of the browser list. That's not to say it was exceptional, but it was over a gig compared to other browser being just under a gig for the same URLs being active. I am fortunate in some ways regarding the blood circulat...

There is a genetic predisposition to hearing loss, but tinnitus is directly related to high frequency loss. Thus older people tend to get it because those hairy cells that pick up the high frequencies die off in old age. Some people get it sooner than others and the reaction to it varies with person...

I knew my hearing sensitivity was down, but I didn't think it was down 50%. She showed me the audiograms and you would swear the left side is from a different person than the right side. I think I know what happened to the right side. About ten years ago we attended a wedding for my wife's niece. Th...

My wife has a brother-in-law who is prone to mini strokes. Just like those silent heart attacks, I don't understand how mini strokes can be tolerated. If it's so small that the damage it does is not recognizable, is it really a stroke? Or heart attack? Apparently there is some technical definition f...
