Quote: Grippe" (pronounced grip-a) is the German word for flu.......the Russian word for flu sounds exactly like the German word
Interesting word history ZB. Lots of smart people here with some amazing interests and skills.
My points to HP were: People think other people use words like we use them.
People communicate better if they use the current medically term, in plain English, not Latin
Drs. are human and do not have X-ray vision or are capable of mind reading.
Some people think Drs. instinctively know what is wrong.
There are several conditions that are mysteries to Drs. So the more you know, the more you can help your medical condition.
ZB. I am reading your posts because of our similar situations. BB is 5'4" use to weigh 187, and used to look a little like the michelin tire man, Bib. BB re-started her weight reduction and body toneing program at home. It has been off and on for the last 20 years.
What seems to work the best for weight reduction is using the treadmill for 30 or more minuets a day and doing some weight lifting. BB also reduced her portion sizes and almost no snacks. It has boosted her selfesteem and she lost one roll of belly fat. A little of the weight is gone but I see a big improvement in muscle tone.
The sex was 1X or 2X a month, we got it up to 1X a week, then the UTI's hit so we are back to about every 6 weeks. The shopping is picking up and the sex is down. So much for DBing. I hope you don't have my luck.
