The Botox has had the most unbelievable effect. Yesterday I went for a 45 minute walk on a treadmill, played soccer in the yard with my kids, and cooked chicken parmesan with homemade marinara sauce and salad for dinner. I hope this miraculous effect will hold until my next treatment. I just can't believe this.

Wonderful news! Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
My sister had botox treatments years ago for extreme underarm sweating. She had a few injections and hasn't had any sweating problems since.

Hope you are still feeling better!! I am! Thanks. Just had to have spine surgery though, which wasn't fun. The pain is subsiding quite a bit today, thankfully. Hopefully, I will soon be able to function fairly normally again. |

Hopefully, I will soon be able to function fairly normally again. Good to hear the botox is still working, but sorry to hear about the spine surgery. When it rains, it pours. Hopefully this is the end of your ailments. |

Andrea, Are you mending well from the surgery? How are you feeling now? Hugs, Catbatty I replied to this post, but now I don't see it Sorry if it shows up twice. Recovery from surgery is going too slow for my liking, but getting better. I still managed to do a ton of cooking. Didn't realize just how much I cooked until I just typed them out for the hits and misses thread. I definitely went a little crazy after not being able to cook for so long! Planning to return to work on Tuesday. Thanks for checking on me. Everyone here has been so supportive. |

(I moved this out of Hits & Misses and over here to Cerical Dystonia thread since I was getting so far off topic of Hits/Misses) CB
Andrea!!! You are pretty amazing!!
I am now so curious as to how you keep track, how you find the recipes you want to make. Do you subscribe to many mags? Do you use Mastercook or some other software to store or organize?
I have many mags stored in Mastercook. I'd be happy to share some with you anytime!! You are WONDER WOMAN, in my eyes!!

I have many mags stored in Mastercook. I'd be happy to share some with you anytime!! You are WONDER WOMAN, in my eyes!! Catbatty I used to play Cookieee's cooking game of the week. I liked the idea of it, but I preferred a different method to that used in the game, so I continued a modified version of it on my own. I have seven book shelves of cookbooks and cooking magazines. I continuously choose one shelf randomly, and I then randomly choose one book or magazine from that shelf and make something from it. I also make other recipes that catch my eye, and I have subscriptions for Fine Cooking and Food & Wine, so I make quite a lot of recipes from those two magazines. I seem to have the best luck with finding good and consistent recipes from those two sources. I went back to work yesterday, so I'll probably be cooking less now or making more tried-and-trues. Didn't do any cooking last night. Lol. I do have a recipe data program. I think it is called Recipe Manager. I love it! It has so many useful features and ways to categorize and search, etc. I have given some thought to starting a personal chef business, so I made a separate section of it to store and categorize recipe selections for that too. |

Way to go, Andrea! Sounds like things are going so much better for you now!!! Thanks for telling about your 'system.' Very clever of you! Wish I could come over and watch you in action. (And eat at your table!!!) I'm sure we'd all love to hear more about your recipe software, if you get any spare time. (I've tried em all...the Windows ones...this one might be one program that slipped past me. Is it for Mac alone? Is it free?) Anyway, I (and I know the rest of us, too) are thrilled for you!!!!!!! |

Hope you are still doing well. I am! Thank you. I haven't had a single symptom since my last injections on March 1st. The doctor even suspended additional treatments and can't explain why the symptoms haven't returned. |
