[TMIC] My story
Dear Members. I have been in the hospital for a little while and am home now. I am not sure what happened before I last posted on line here. But for some reason I felt like there was something I may have said or done that may have affended someone in this group. If that is the case then I appoligize from the bottom of my heart. I have tried to treat everyone here with the kindest feelings I possess but I know that noone is perfect and I accept the fact that if anyone out there that feels the need to disclaim my exestence from this list I will bow out no questions asked. Only the lord can judge ones heart and I have prayed that I have not been a neusance to this list of wonderful people. I pray for everyone only the best life that we are able to live, and that soon answers will come to help heal us all . I remain your friend and hopefully a benefit to this list . May the Grace of our lord strengthen our bodies,. I remain yours, Rick Ashford

[TMIC] Bee Venom Therapy
On a Memorial Day barbecue at my daughter's, a neighbor asked me the usual, what is my problem walking? My favorite question, right? Well, to be polite, I gave him a simple explanation and he really seemed interested and with some knowledge of autoimmune disorders. Told me of someone he knew who has MS, etc. And then, he mentioned bees' venom, and that perhaps I should try it. I thought he was joking and I laughed as I really relish and enjoy a good laugh, but he was not joking. He said he could administer it himself, knew where to get the bees, etc. He asked my email address to send me details and so on... I could hardly get through reading the journal of this man with MS who would obviously try anything. He mentioned in the journal taking low dose maltrexone. I checked on line at lowdosenaltrexone.orgseems it can boost the immune system. I never heard of anyone in the group taking that. Anyway, this Bee Venom Therapy also called Bee Sting Therapy or Apitherapy intrigued me after I stopped laughing. I'm wondering if anyone ever heard of it, and if I should forward it to the group. I don't think I should. Let me know what you think.
RE: [TMIC] Bee Venom Therapy
Bee venom therapy is used to treat arthritis pain and works for some. I have not heard of it used for MS or other conditions. The cheap laugh for me is I am allergic to bees! _ From: Regina Rummel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2007 6:03 PM To: tmic-list@eskimo.com Subject: [TMIC] Bee Venom Therapy On a Memorial Day barbecue at my daughter's, a neighbor asked me the usual, what is my problem walking?

Re: [TMIC] OT OT: Parking Update
I have been to board meetings. They usually degrade to yelling matches and are a waste of time. I am not feeling well enough for that or to go around and petition, but I would if I could. I will let the city and state and an attorney if necessary, explain the law to this board. Thank you for your thoughts. :) Kevin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Kevin, can you attend board meetings? If they didn't resolve your issue last night, I would request a special meeting to attend. At least that is the way our HOA board works. Or perhaps go around to your neighbors with your own petition, (we have also done that). See what's free at AOL.com http://www.aol.com?ncid=AOLAOF0002000503.
Re: [TMIC] OT OT: Parking Update
Hi Deborah, Right now all I can do is with a laptop and cellphone from my bed or a chair, and getting to the chair isn't so easy. I have the help of the Director of the state Fair Housing/Fair Rent Association because a Senator wrote a letterto him for me. In addition to TM I have high BP and Tachycardia, and the stress of all this is not good for any of these things. I will hire an attorney if I have to, and already have spoken to one who has successfully sued condo boards. I am also looking to move from here because I am tired of the constant fight for my rights. Thank you for your suggestions. I'm getting all my ducks in a row as best I can, considering my health issues. All the best, Kevin Deborah Nord Capen wrote: Hi Kevin, If possible, go back to the planning and zoning commission, ask for the ordinance, or a printed paper showing the code requiring the handicapped spaces, then take this to the Code Enforcement Department for your city, present the printed requirement, and report the building as violating the requirements. Once notified of a violation, they are required by law to notify the owners of the properties to comply with the law, or be red-tagged as a violator of the zone. I don't know if that helps, because it depends on how deep some of the politicians' pockets are, but it is a start - also taking this violation to a news station so that they can show the ruling and actually tape the parking lot showing no handicapped spaces. Hope this helps somewhat.

The board member didn't want to take the letter and tried to hand it back to me. I wouldn't take it back. That was last Friday. He said the board was having a meeting and would discuss the issue. The meeting was supposed to take place last night, I haven't heard anything yet. I called my town planning and zoning commission today and told them my situation. Long story even longer, they told me that for the multi-unit building I live in there are supposed to be _FOUR OFF-STREET HANDICAPPED PARKING SPACES CLOSEST TO A HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE ENTRANCE_. Anyone care to guess how many such spaces exist here? ***ZERO OFF-STREET HANDICAPPED SPACES!* I told the woman from the zoning commission this and asked her how to go about getting these spaces put in. She referred me to some information on their website which didn't load properly onto my computer. I will be calling them again. I am waiting to hear what resulted from the board's meeting last night before I proceed. Kevin Akua wrote: Dear Akua, I am sorry you have had to go through all that you have. A cyber-friend of mine who is from the UK told me that this kind of thing doesn't happen there. There is apparently a much more civil and moral treatment of those with disabilities there. Your car is in your own driveway and you are being hassled? Yes. As long as it isn't a danger to anyone, or blocking anyone's access, I don't understand this. Neither do I... the driveway is part of the lot, is offf the street, is part of my yard Is it a fire issue? I mean if heaven forbid a fire engine had to get to your house? The driveway is at the back side. There is a front walkway in other words more than one way to access the house. I have contacted several agencies already, and it is amazing just how little help there is out there, in my state anyway. The one exception has been the Fair Housing Association. They have at least helped me get my car into an off-street space, and are continuing to help me. Delighted to hear that you have had some help but YES there is shockingly little help or grace I just never needed any assistance before and didn't know how incredibly lucky and independent i was... I will take this to court if that's what it takes. All the best, Kevin Wishing you success and peace, Akua
