Fortunately, my doc knows about the vitamin thing, so he's got me taking b12, b6 and d supplements, but it's a good reminder for anyone who might not know in a similar situation. <br /><br />I'll check out the cell forte. Is it like Ensure? I used to like Ensure, and Ensure Plus but not so much anymore. Perhaps the VA carries the forte stuff. I'll check. <br /><br />Also good idea on the fruits, veggies and soups. They are a good supplement to pork chops and bacon. :^)<br /><br />Thanks again, and thanks for stopping by. Hopefully I can get back to writin' sea stories soon.USS Ben USN (Ret)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07492369604790651538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127590045913020385.post-17115578540236237402010-11-04T16:54:44.888-07:002010-11-04T16:54:44.888-07:00Hi Joan!

I think you could read about it a vitacost. you might check it out...<br />Virus also don't like you being really replete with vitamin B's.<br />And then there is good old fashioned soup and fruits & veggies, extra rest and gentle exercise. <br />Now I don't generally go around giving suggestions to strangers, even patriotic ones, but having once had shingles when my immune system was about to be overwhelmed by another problem...I just couldn't help myself, perchance it helps you.Jeannettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115410908800997558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127590045913020385.post-33336352362203857302010-10-21T12:52:09.542-07:002010-10-21T12:52:09.542-07:00Hey, where'd ya go?Hey, where'd ya go?Joan of Argghh!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14729682908266300507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127590045913020385.post-25359262599571972082010-09-02T23:49:38.147-07:002010-09-02T23:49:38.147-07:00Hi Retriever!
Thank you for your prayers. I think...Hi Retriever!<br /><br />Thank you for your prayers. I think they are working, 'cause it's not half as bad as it was. :^)<br /><br />I will endeavor to take your sage wisdom to heart (DoJo reminded me as well). It ain't easy to take it easy sometimes but I'm willing to put some more effort into it. <br />Especially since the alternative is fresh in my noggin. :^)<br /><br />Live slack or die hard is my motto (one of 'em anyways).USS Ben USN (Ret)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07492369604790651538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127590045913020385.post-14378323173874538522010-09-02T17:33:32.449-07:002010-09-02T17:33:32.449-07:00Hope you feel better soon, Ben.

That and some REST, which I doubt you will take. Will pray for you that God will soothe and ease the pain and itch, and kill those little buggers ruthlessly...Retrieverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09036341287285545932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127590045913020385.post-17044068114860588052010-08-28T00:51:49.662-07:002010-08-28T00:51:49.662-07:00Thanks guys.

Not sure of the spelling so i juat call it piratesoreIassess. <br /><br />If my immune system kicks in it should be gone in a few weeks. Now i'm waiting for results of my blood test to see where my immune system (the CD4 part) is at (actual numbers that is) and to check the viral load.<br /><br />I hafta type even slower tham usual 'cause these pills I'm taking for the itching (hydroxysomething or other) causes blurry vision (See: Double Vision, by Foreigner) among other seide effects. <br />The worst one: it feels like I have a hangover after sleeping on it (okay, not actually ON them). <br /><br />Skully wondrs if grog would cancel the side effects out. Of course, it could double the side effects as well (double double vision...quadruple vision?).<br /><br />Well, I can say without reservations that everything is a blur. Thanks guys for your prayers and well wishes n' stuff. I'll be back to procrastinating blogging in no time. <br />Have you any idea how long it takes to type one sentence (average length) with double double vision?USS Ben USN (Ret)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07492369604790651538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127590045913020385.post-46141882303682060722010-08-23T16:25:33.976-07:002010-08-23T16:25:33.976-07:00Well damn, Ben.
