    bestwriter wrote a new post, I am a victim of Herpes Zoster 8 years, 3 months ago

    This happened three years ago. I just felt a slight pain behind my knee and I did not think  much of it.I thought some insect had bit me.  A couple of days later I spotted reddish blotches all down to the middle o […]

    • Doctors won’t tell you this, but the body can actually clear the herpes virus out of its system eventually by itself, no matter which form of herpes it is. I was diagnosed with it as a teenager and then retested as an adult…it had totally gone away.

    • There is a vaccine now on the market that will prevent shingles or herpes zoster in the adult. Here in Canada you can get it at the pharmacy but the price is steep at 250$. The name of the vaccine is Zostavax and it is highly recommended to every adults who have had chicken pox in their youth. I am sorry to hear that you are still suffering side effects of this nasty virus. My father suffered from it and was even hospitalised at its beginning and treated with Acyclovir intravenously for it. But he never complained of any sequel afterwards.

      • Thanks.
        I too was under treatment and the virus was cured. The numbness that I reported the docotor said it was age related as many around me do have those symptoms though none of them got this virus. I feel this numbness is because of my damaged nerve due to the virus. I am working on it myself and hope to see the end of it.

    • sorry to hear of your problem, i thought those are blisters, didn’t know that it would bring in so many problems.

      Maybe you can check with private hospital for more advice, general hospital leave patients less options

    • When my children were little, the chickenpox vaccine had recently become available and our pediatrician recommended against it for several reasons. At that time, there was only a single dose in infancy. And he said immunity would likely wear off just when the child was most vulnerable to serious complications from the disease.

      The other thing he told me is that more people are getting shingles now because fewer adults are exposed to small children who have chickenpox. Because most are now vaccinated, the parents and grandparents aren’t exposed in adulthood – when apparently, this could help to ward off a shingles attack. There is a shingles vaccine, which may help those 50 years and older who have had chickenpox themselves. Failing that, it may actually be beneficial to be exposed to a child with the virus (check with your doctor first!)

      We had the exposure when our three oldest caught the virus. So I’m hoping we are safe. But I think perhaps when the shingles vaccine is available to us, we will take it. I’ve seen my mother suffer with shingles and, like you, she was left with painful nerve damage. That’s something I think we’d all rather avoid.

      I hope you can find a solution to your pain.

    Managing all your social media accounts, apps and websites can be a daunting task. A few years back, an all in one social media management tool would have been hard to suggest.  Now that major social platforms have matured a bit these “all in one” social media management tools are easy to figure out, still in their early stages.

    bestwriter wrote a new post, Beyond the Classroom 8 years, 3 months ago

    Education
    Education is a continuous process and not necessarily that a classroom has it all.  Beyond the classroom is what one should look for.
    Classroom has limits
    Everyone needs to go to school where one […]

    • Nice post, yes you are right on sharing here about what some students are apt to this time.Sad to say students this time always engage themselves to selfie,texting and not anymore reading books. So sad, like in my class as a Physics professor, many flunk every end of the school term for they refused to study hard. Sometimes I told myself better do not have this kind of advancement.Mane were gone astray because of technology abuse.I pity those who do not value the right education at all.

    • Classroom is the place where students build their characters. I think that it is the place where students find the atmosphere in which heredity seed flourishes with in fresh educational atmosphere. Beyond the class room conditions are different for the students because they have to face good or bad situation that effect green students memories to a greater extent.

      I also have a great interest in encouraging my students to help others beyond our school community. In flipping my classes and offloading direct instruction to videos students watch for homework, I have created a large resource of free, publicly available instructional math videos.1 One of the most rewarding parts of this process has been discovering the reach of my voice and lessons; being able to teach students around the world who find and use my videos has been extremely fulfilling. So I asked myself: How can I share this experience with my students?

      I believe that students reinforce their learning and gain deeper insight into material by teaching others. To that end, I ask my students to post to Socratic.org throughout the year. This forum encourages students to ask or answer calculus questions (as well as other subjects). Once a month, students are expected to answer a question posed by one of their classmates on Socratic as a formal assignment for class. Students have the option to complete additional response posts and, in doing so, reveal an interest beyond class requirements while displaying their initiative to go above and beyond.

      I explain to students that their answers are not meant to be perfect — they are learning! A wonderful feature of Socratic is that all answers are editable, so that somebody from the Socratic community (or myself) is able to correct errors. The edits are reported back to the student, and a revision history is shown so that students can learn from updates.

    My dear mother has left this world many years ago but her presence is felt in my kitchen. Be it her recipes, her way of washing vessels, her way of entertaining the guests – always the best for guests –  brings […]

    • isn’t it weird to have mix bananas or sweet potatoes into pork stew?
      Both are sweet in nature but pork stew is salty and oily.

      Anyway, it is good to know that you still have your mom’s recipe, well embed in your heart.

      • Those are vegetable bananas which are not ripe. Just try adding sweet potato. The sweet potato absorbs everything around it and tastes delicious.

    @Treathyl Fox  I do not have many connections. I therefore do not share. But sharing helps if one has many followers. At another site some of my friends have started sharing my blogs as I was not doing well there at all. There only views were recognised and nothing else.

    I had a call this morning from a person I know who claims to be a social worker. She told me she visited many houses yesterday and spent time with them. She has no life of her own and I understood her motive […]

    • lol
      Some people claim themselves as social worker or volunteer but did nothing physically to help except verbally to help.
      Advice is useful only when the heart matters, when someone is in need of help, only true friends would help, not social workers

    • People weakness on earth is fame and nothing else after this comes wealth and love is the last but they do not knows what they are doing God knows every man’s heart and awards his deeds’ award on earth. In his world man is driven by emotions not by reason when emotions candle burns the lamp of wisdom extinguishes automatically.

      Social workers are human beings but they are lack of knowledge and do not know the realities of this world and do everything for ostentation and fame but they do something are better who do nothing in practical field.

      Another benefit to social work is the ability to advocate in areas of passion. Someone with a passion for children can specialize in agencies that help children and families with children. Social workers interested in criminal justice may help ex-convicts as they try to assimilate back into society. Schools and hospitals offer additional opportunities for specialized social workers.

    bestwriter wrote a new post, Homoeopathy and self help 8 years, 3 months ago

    Homeopathy is treating a patient with tiny doses of a substance if given in large doses would produce symptoms of the concerned ailment.
    Unlike Allopathy where self medication could prove to be dangerous, […]

    • Homeopathy medicines are the best medicines all over the world with the passage of time allopathy will disappear from whole world because homeopathy will uproot the diseases and its root cause from human life organs.

      The law of similars states that whatever would cause your symptoms, will also cure those same symptoms. Thus, if you find yourself unable to sleep, taking caffeine will help; streaming eyes due to hayfever can be treated with onions, and so on. This so-called law was based upon nothing other than Hahnemann’s own imagination.

      You don’t need to have a medical degree to see the flawed reasoning in taking caffeine – a stimulant – to help you sleep; yet caffeine is, even today, prescribed by homeopaths (under the name ‘coffea’) as a treatment for insomnia.

      Despite being rooted in supersition, ritual and sympathetic magick, the laws devised by Hahnemann are still in use by homeopaths today.

      For Hahnemann’s Laws to be correct, we would have to toss out practically everything we have learned over the past two centuries about biology, pharmacology, mathematics, chemistry and physics. Illnesses are not effectively treated by administering substances which cause similar symptoms; serial dilution and succussion does not ‘potentize’ a remedy. Water has no memory, nor any way of using one if it did! Homeopathy could never work in the way Hahnemann described it, but does it work at all?

      Modern homeopaths believe that this ‘potentization’ process allows the water to retain the ‘memory’ or ‘vibrations’ of the original substance, long after it has been diluted away to nothing. Of course, there is no good scientific evidence to suggest that water has such an ability, nor any indication of how it might be able to use this ‘memory’ to cure a sick patient.
