Ah yes, maybe the newbies need a couple of lessons on how to reply to our
messages.
It ain't all that hard, folks. Just pay close attention and read these notes
carefully.
Just a few simple rules, like, distinguishing between 'reply' and 'reply
to all'.
One uses 'reply' when answering individually to a message. One can add other
names as well on the cc: line; those names come from your address book.........
whaaaat.....???? You haven't established an address book.......???? What are
you waiting for......???? Really, now.
One uses 'reply to all' when writing to the whole list, no exceptions.......
there ARE ways to delete names but I'll leave that for a separate lesson.
One important rule: you canNOT use the 'reply to all' thingie when you want to
send a message to a single recipient. You must watch what you're clicking
on. Eyeballs must be set on HIGH.....;>);>);>).
Another option is the bcc: line but again, I'll leave it for a separate lesson.
Any questions, y'all........??? Do let me know. BobbyJim in Elvisland

Subject: [TMIC] REPLY ALL vs REPLY
When a message is intended for one or two specific individuals, please delete
the tmic list from the addressees. Otherwise a few hundred people will waste
time reading the message and then deleting it.
The cumulation of such messages must contribute to some people leaving the
list.

I never seem to find time to write to the list these days but had to
offer my thoughts on the issue of neurontin. I have had tm for close to ten fun
filled years now and the best pain relief I have found has come from neurontin
or lyrica. I took neuronitin for a few years before switching to Lyrica. They
work very well for me and I haven't killed myself.....not even once.

I found the articles refered to by NPR:
http://www.reutershealth.com/archive/2010/04/13/eline/links/20100413elin006.html
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/booster_shots/2010/04/anticonvulsants-suicide-risk-gabapentin.html
I have never been on Gababentin/Neurontin but the relief I get from
Lyrica was worth the month of side effects I went through to get to relief (the
makers acknowledge lyrica's temporary suicide risk and has information for
patients and doctors).
Anti depressants also carry a risk of increased suicide until the user
adjusts. the suicide risk is also temporary and passes when the taker adjusts.
It is good to know that this is a possibility so that doctors, patients and
their family's can monitor the patient for such a side effect but if you do the
math the risk is very small and keeping an eye on it can lower the risk even
more.
more worrisome to me is the crackdown of off label uses of medications
like these 2 drugs that so many of us "off label users" find so helpful.

neurontin and gabapentin (sp) just on NPR---- didn't hear it all but
something about suicide... for those on it, you might want to check it out.
I remember refusing Neurontin for my pain while in the nursing home,
because of side effects and being chastised and derided for my decision
repeatedly. I am so grateful I resisted the pressure.
With depression as an attendant to TM, suicide inducing chemicals are
a burden we don't need.
