Looks like we might break both barriers. 1000 pages is probably tomorrow. Only 54 posts needed to reach 30K. Surely we will do that in 7 days before the 6th anniversary.

so don't watch until the page flips to 1000 and/or we hit 30K. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GwjfUFyY6M

have any of you been able to catch any of the meteor shower ? I accidentally woke at up at 3AM today so I went out for about an hour and watched. Didn't see anything but had the following stuck in my head from that point till now.

Adding on to get over to the next page.

As you might know the president or POTUS as we all call him is visiting. Our dog park abuts to the golf course he likes to play. Our walking trail goes right by the staging area for the black SUVs and the press bus. There is always a policeman directing traffic and lots of people hanging around. Secret Service etc. So my crazy excitable overly friendly dog decides she needs to go say hello, she runs under the fence and is making her presence know to all. The policeman starts making comments about my dog not being under control and how she better watch out, there are some working dogs around. Meanwhile, I'm climbing over the fence, yelling the dog's name, waving dog biscuits in the air, imagining my dog getting run over by POTUS. She is still having a great time saying hello to everyone . Finally I get ahold of her and we get on the other side of the fence in time to watch the 12 motorcycle cops and the 15 black SUVs roll by. Can't even see in the windows. So don't nobody tell me I don't get enough exercise.

What a great story! Maca sounds like Zumba on steroids to me!

Macatacmv--what away to get your exercise!

glennie19

excellent way to get your exercise!  Glad you got your dog back under "control".  She just wanted to say hi to the President.

I'm just glad there were no front page pictures of the crazy lady trying to harass the president.

l still have pain in my pelvic area even after a month since my procedure so I get to see my PCP on Monday. But today I am going sailing for the first time this summer, I don't care how I feel I'm gonna have some fun.

On Friday I see my MO to talk about my taking or not taking tamoxifen. I have not started back up since the surgery. Has any one here heard of or had any experience with Myomin? It is a natural aromatase inhibitor. My chiropractor is recommending it.

Tomboy

I haven't, mac, but now I am curious. But, if it works the same way, wouldn't it cause the same problems? I am gonna go and look it up, I am so sick of taking that little pain-making pill. I have tried all of them, except for aromasin. I am back on tamoxifen, and for only about 3 months, and am only just now beginning to feel it's little dastardly sneaky attack on my sense of well being.

Tomboy

I thought for sure, that that would take us to page 1000! I wish I could forget about that, but, I have to keep coming and looking, to see when the party gets started! I absolutely know that quality over quantity matters in everything, except dollars. So, I am gonna go and round up some tasty snacks, shake out my party dress, and get crackin!

Tomboy

And then, I am sure, that when it actually happens, I am gonna be so caught up in some minor aspect of my walking around life, I will miss it completely! Elimar, thanks for creating such a great space.

Momine

Mac, I would be careful with an herbal AI. This whole business of balancing the estrogens etc. is not, as far as I have been able to discover, based in reliable science. At least ask your doc about it.

Myomin supplement ingredients, capsules, side effects for sale

Each 2 capsules of Myomin contains:
Aralia dasyphyllia Mig. 200 mg
Cucuma zedoria 200 mg
Cyperus rotundus 200 mg
Smilax glabra Roxb. 200 mg

According to the manufacturer: "Myomin, a Chinese herbal formula, is a natural aromatase inhibitor. Aromatase converts androgens into estrogen. My inhibiting this effect less estrogen becomes produced. In one study of 60 females estradiol levels decreased from 74 pg/ml to 38 pg/ml after 10 days. Myomin also competes with estradiol at the cellular estrogen receptor. It also increases interferon, Il-2 and TNFa."

 I am a pharmacist,, and I have no idea what any of those ingredients are.   Time for research.

They all sound like extracts from herbs.

As I read the story, I thought to myself at least it was not a drone.

macatacmv

I know, it sounds to good to be true. And I have found my body really likes estrogen. I had a terrible time on Arimidex and had too much bone loss. So was switched to tamoxifen, but am now having uterine issues. I asked why wouldn't I get the same side effects from Myomin as I get from Arimidex and my chiropractor said because it is all natural ingredients it wouldn't affect my body like the chemical form. I am going to talk to both my PCP and MO this week about it. But I get tired of these doctors contradicting each other.

Glennie, am looking forward to your opinion.

I had a perfect day today. My DD and her friends took me out sailing. They had packed a picnic lunch. It was wonderful. When we came in we went swimming at the beach. Then I ordered some BBQ from a restaurant in town and we chowed down. I think that will satisfy my desire for a birthday party for my DD who turns 28 on Tuesday. It was really nice of them to let an "old lady" tag along.

Tree, seeing a drone flying over the dog park would have pushed me over the edge. Welcome by the way, have we seen you here before? Don't mind me if you've been here for a while, I have a mind like a sieve.

treelilac

I'm just thinking if each herbal extract has multiple ingredients, some active ingredients but others necessary for absorption/conjugation etc, just listing the herbs is not very helpful for consumers.

I don't post often but definitely want to help reach the admirable goal of 1,000 pages!

Momine

Mac, the chiro is giving you a classic line of BS, namely that "natural" medicine doesn't have the nasty SEs of the "poison" put out by "big pharma."

The SEs of the hormone blockers are mainly the SEs associated with being deprived of estrogen so that the cancer can remain starved of estrogen. If the myomin doesn't have those SEs, then it is most likely not blocking estrogen effectively. Very simple.

glennie19

Momine is correct.  "Natural" medicine can and will have SE's. Pharmacy started with plant based medicine after all. Digoxin, a heart med, is derived from the plant foxglove.  It helps to control the heartbeat, and it could be used to kill someone. So natural, yes,,, side effects,, for sure.   St John's Wort also comes to mind as a "natural" medicine that has side effects and many drug interactions.
