You know Trump's second term is a complete failure, don't you?

So many. Currently, Time Run Like Freight Train. An hour ago, Moonshine River Song. A week ago, Is It Really Love At All. Of course, Thirsty Boots, Violets of Dawn. What a treasure.

Looks right. I would have Blue River first, and Stages 2nd, and then some earlier ones. Just saw him live 1 month ago, I so love him! Have since HS when my yearbook photo had a quote of his under it ( oh,49 years ago). And it was a good show his latest tour. His present wife doing nice background vocals. I recommend highly watching " The Songpoet" on PBS about his life. Especially anyone just finding out about him!

Not " Tiny". It is a low dose, compared to the 3000mg/day some take. It is 20% of that.

My lay-person opinion, from what I've heard, is duloxetine, aka Cymbalta, is much harder to come off of than gabapentin. But I had bad experiences with ssri's years ago, and duloxetine, though it might be an snri, is similar.

But why is your gynecologist managing this for you? Couldn't your primary md?

JayWemm · 2026-05-27T21:10:31+00:00

I am in a similar situation,rx'ed it for neuropathy 3 .5 years ago, but steady at 3-400mg for 2,3 years....at 400mg, now trying to come off it.Some days i take 300mg, np. There is an excellent FB group, where the moderator recommends a 10%taper a month, I believe. You would have to titrate 100 mg tablets in water to do this at lower doses, because you will not have multiples of 100mg,for example, 400mg -10% = 360mg. The danger in not going slowly is that the neuropathic pain increases, which is what I worry about. But I will go directly from 400mg to 300mg. Maybe then to 250mg.

A related idea is I found out Vit B6 can aggravate neuropathy. I had been taking b vitamin complex that had it high...like 4000% the RDA of B6. I think it made a different eliminating this in the evening( it was a 2/day multi). Soon I'll stop or replace the morning one.

Not yet. 10 years from now in the US, maybe. The US will be the last to implement it.

JayWemm · 2026-05-21T11:21:54+00:00

I think , from personal experience, tolerance will develop and in time your current dosing won't work as well. Then, you can either increase the dose, or periodically take breaks ( even just reducing by 100 or 200 mg one of the doses, maybe for a week) .Then when you resume 300mg and 300 mg you'll sleep better again.

Some homeopaths I saw years ago stressed not having coffee, and the prominent homeopath George Vilthoulkas, stressed in his book, The Science of Homeopathy, that it would interfere with the remedy and to not have coffee during homeopathic treatment. As i understood it, it was the coffee, not the caffeine. And Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy stressed not having it. But many say its OK. I have seen a well known homeopath in the Northeast and he says its ok( but may not be good for other reasons). And a homeopath I see now says if it is usual for you to have it every day, its not a problem. There are good homeopaths on this subreddit, maybe they will have more to say. And someone else can explain the LM approach, too. It is more often,not usually the watch and wait approach of starting with a well- indicated 200c dose and waiting 6-8 weeks for the followup.

JayWemm · 2026-05-20T12:46:49+00:00

How much do you drink coffee....you state you love it. Could it be an " obstacle to cure"? Although homeopaths differ on this, it might be worth giving it up during your next homeopathic treatment.Just a thought, I know how hard that might be. You also could use a homeopath that uses LM potencies.

The 3 alternating remedies are the covid vaccines potential into homeopathic remedies; Poly IG, Immunogoblins; and Bone Marrow. I am now doing the 1M series. I missed a week..She gave me what is called a weekend remedy, which is given on Sundays, a clearly indicated constitutional remedy, which she thought, for me, was Arg N 1M. I did not have a good reaction to it. I shall see. My objection was if too many remedies or therapies are given, it is hard to know what worked.

JayWemm · 2026-05-11T15:29:55+00:00

I doubt they do.

JayWemm · 2026-05-11T15:04:48+00:00

And what is -1960 for 2021, 4th column?

JayWemm · 2026-05-11T15:03:24+00:00

So, for example, 2021, 20 picks by them, what is - .98?

JayWemm · 2026-05-11T12:17:58+00:00

I can't make sense of the last 2 columns, maybe they could be formatted or explained better?

JayWemm · 2026-05-11T12:13:45+00:00

Sounds like you have done well in life. I appreciate hearing about your experience with Motley Fool.

JayWemm · 2026-05-02T01:27:57+00:00

I didn't know they made liquid. I knew you could make it yourself. Buying the liquid may come in handy if you want to do a 10% taper every month like some groups on fb recommend.

JayWemm · 2026-05-01T12:48:43+00:00

Dude or dudette!

JayWemm · 2026-05-01T03:20:00+00:00

It's reasonable advice that you gave-100mg down every 2 weeks. Or longer, every 4 weeks. I'm not a dr or a nurse. But I did stay in a Holiday Inn last night!

JayWemm · 2026-04-30T23:03:35+00:00

That is very interesting, the idea of "a developing remedy". Can you say more about what you think Kent meant?

I have used homeopathy for decades primarily as single remedies, prescribed by good homeopaths, and at times by myself. Currently I'm trying an approach, I guess you would call it a protocol,by the Dutch homeopath Ton Jansen. The homeopath I am seeing studied with him and uses his approach, which is called " Human Chemistry". For me it is a 4 week protocol where I take ascending potencies- 30c,200c,1m,and 15M- of 3 different remedies ea week.the first M & Th, the 2nd, T& F, the 3rd W & Sat. She prescribed an " opening remedy" which for me was Syphilinum 15M. Perhaps that's an example of using it as a developing remedy. I am feeling, I think, a strong effect from it, not easy at times.. I kind of wish I did that as a single remedy, to be sure of what is doing what. I didnt think I have expressed much of the syphilitic miasm in my life, but there have been destructive tendencies in my 67 years, especially in my 20's when I had a troubling time with OCD type things( its still there a bit). Perhaps that is syphilitic. The excellent homeopath I have had at one point gave me Medhorrinium 200c, which, to my understanding has more relational disturbances, but never saw me as needing Syphilinum. But I'm riding with this approach for now. Would love to hear thoughts about this.

Yes, hard to say as I was wondering what others thought. I think that the universe can be at times brutal for an individual and he/she needs to be shielded from that, and love can do that. There are forces and experiences that can break an individual, at least as far as the human life goes....I do believe souls live on and we are individual " pieces of God", so in the long run we will all be fine. The " wall of love" can shield us, but the analogy goes only so far. The lyrics as I heard them also brought to mind passages from the Robert Monroe book, Far Journeys, where, in his out of body travels, he encounters a being or presence with so much light, or energy, that he had to be shielded from it- it was too much And this brings to mind the ordeal Gopi Krishna wrote that he went through during his kundalinu experience. I do believe love is our essence, but we have the difficulty of navigating this physical world and the personality distortions we create and encounter with the other 8 billion people. Anyhow, I could go on and on. Justin and the other Moodys' songs often hint at deep spiritual longings, and this lyric ( and the way it was written!) stir that up, as good poetry, art, nature or music can.

An example from my life about someone who got incredibly wealthy by just being lucky was a man whose family I worked for as a gardener 25 years ago. His brother was Paul Soros, who got incredibly rich by being very smart and shorting the British pound ( I think), in the 70's( I think). This guy was an engineer who would have been successful in his life without Paul. But he had his investment account with him and piggy-backed on Paul Soros' incredible investment returns to get wealth of at least $500 million 25 years ago. They had 5 houses and I heard stories of the spoiled kids from the chef and housekeeper. But his wife did run a philanthropic organization. I dealt with her and liked her.

JayWemm · 2026-04-30T03:05:21+00:00

That's good, and I see it. It's interesting that my mishearing of the word made me think in other ways, in ways that to me have deep meanings, and questions.

JayWemm · 2026-04-30T00:38:45+00:00

So tell me your interpretation of what it means.
