| Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | Wow. I'm in Florida and I don't consume that much but I did guzzle several cans of seltzer water yesterday and two glasses of Orange Juice, a substance that few Floridians seem to consume anywhere near as much as I would have thought they did. Got me a GLASS container yesterday so I can get water that is not in a plastic container. I do not know if it is the plastic per se or the fact that I tend to leave the plastic jugs in the car for awhile where they undergo repeated sun/shade cycles. |

I don't care what they say, glass is better. The President is a fink. |

| Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | I've noted a distinct plastic taste to the drinking water that has been in a sunny place but I also found out that the distilled water, which I put in that vacuum cleaner that blows in my face all night long, also tastes of plastic so I must have been blowing plastic into my brain and lungs for quite awhile. Gonna try to end it soon but its hard to find distilled water in anything but plastic around here. I can find drinking water that is dispensed into your own container and that is what my quart container will be used for. The problem is if I drink water for the gout then the lower limb edema increases. Tomorrow: Apple Cider Vinegar no matter how bad my memory is. |

| Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | What a difference a day makes. I guzzled cider flavored water much of the day and also consumed several cans of seltzer water, both plain and pomegranate flavored. Feel great today and noticed right off the gout related ankle swelling had diminished. Gonna stick with the high fluid intake despite possible complications with lower limb edema. More physically active today and brighter mood but don't know if the vinegar is responsible or not. |

| Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | I'm hopped up on codeine, cortisol and some sort of broad spectrum antibiotics. They suspected pneumonia but just coded it as acute bronchitis. The drugs taste terrible but the effect must be what hopheads like. I sure won't be driving like this. |

| Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | All it said was take ten millilters of the codeine syrup.... it didn't say with at least eight ounces of water. I usually have difficulty in seeing the BPM figure and the SaO2 figure on my Pulse Oximeter,,, but a few minutes ago each figure was 76, so I guess it doesn't matter much then which is which. gonna try to stay awake tonight that codeine seems to be making me not want to breathe. |

Do watch out with codeine. Back in AZ I had a cough and took some. Said the usual "TAKE WITH FOOD." Meh, I took it and figured I would eat after I got out of the shower. Set the water, got in, next thing I remember was picking myself up off the shower floor. Wasn't out long, but my roommate asked what the big "THUD" he heard was. I wish we could get it easier in the USA, though. Works great for cough. The President is a fink. |

| Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | Medicare is driving me to the brink. I need a 12.00 part for this rear end of the vacuum cleaner stuff that I breathe thru at night and so far its been 30 minutes on the phone just to order it. Been almost a year and I still do not have the two liters a minute of oxygen the cardiologist Rx'd long ago. Got stuck on Monday morning and I still have this great big bruise where the needle went in. Need to kick off and be done with it. |

It seems like you are awful rough on it. : } I've run into more than one sadistic phlebotomist. Either that or a trainee. At Mayo, if they miss twice they trade you off to another poker, and then they get two try's. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |
