I think beans are pretty good for protein.

Thanks Greg. Never heard of it and it doesn’t sound yummy but I’m googling it.

Edamame beans are 11g protein/100g and are delicious in the oven with some spices and can be cooked in bulk. It's a bit more expensive though

Nah, I'm too lazy to pick them out individually. I buy 1.5kg of frozen edamame beans and just chuck them in the oven. It takes care of veggies for quite a few meals

It's a delicious vegetarian protein source, though I'm not sure why you'd eat it unless you're looking to cut down on your meat consumption. Ditto for tofu. I mean, neither are yummy if you cook eat them plain like boiling a chicken breast, but if you know how to prepare them they're great. Also nothing wrong with yogurt as a protein source as long as it's not packed full of sugar and honey. There are 17 g protein per 100 cal of plain fat-free Greek yogurt.

I googled it and I see what you mean. It actually looked more like real meat than tofu, but yes, I can just eat chicken breast and there's nothing wrong with that.

I felt really bad for her and changed the subject. We were discussing electrical noise and the equipment she was using
....it was pretty cool.

Anyway, there is severe nerve damage in my left arm and see in my right....don't know why yet. She said she would look at the data more and send me the report soon.

Didn't have time to go to the gym today, but I did get 20mins of walking in when I got home.

Some concerning news. My neurologist updated my chart today with Multiple Sclerosis under conditions. No phone call, nothing. She said she was going to review the nerve testing and send me a report, call me to set up the spinal tap and that we would review everything in our next appointment in a couple of weeks. She was really frazzled during the appointment, so I'm hoping this was some kind of error as I haven't had the spinal tap to confirm MS yet.
Catching up; often, things have to be coded in as reasons for tests insurance companies will pay for. As you already know you have another test to confirm MS, then you know it's not confirmed. Think of it as a "work-in-progress diagnosis" not the diagnosis. It's a placeholder that can be changed.

Sorry to hear your doctor was frazzled and the appointment was a mess. Play it out but look around a bit and be ready to make a change if it happens again. You might even go ahead and make an appointment with another neurologist (and this time you would be able to wait a couple of months if need be) which you could always cancel if things work out with this one OR you could use it for a second opinion and consider someone else's approach. You need to have confidence in this doctor--not sympathy.

You know that show 'the Good Doctor'? It's hilarious they depict a doctor with autism as some sort of groundbreaking endeavor when practically every neurologist is obviously on the spectrum; "It was only a nerve testing appointment" as if a patient is supposed to know that and not be emotional about a potential life-altering medical condition after hearing the words "severe nerve damage". Can't tell you how many times I've actually said the words, "Uh, I didn't go to medical school...doctor" but I know it was twice today (so far).

Johnzimbo sent me the name of a good neurologist in Dallas. I'll go ahead and set up an appointment with them.

I just want to say that Josie did an amazing job reviewing my PE experience record....I'm actually a little embarrassed at the grammatical errors I made and just my general lack of Grammer knowledge.
It is looking like I will miss the deadline as I am still short on two PE references ...I'll have to reapply in April of next year. It takes some pressure off though; I will have until next October to study for the exam.

Were I not a thread veteran, I'd assume this had to be a troll.

MLY, I am happy to help.

Your work experience is really impressive. I wasn't expecting 6 long pages to edit. I was surprised how all the difficult, technical words were spelled correctly.

Grammar is my jam. Mmmm jam

LOL

Each of the documents were named "Supplimental Experience 1, 2, 3" so I was worried before I even opened them, but the misspellings within them were few.
12-12-2018 , 03:35 PM
"general lack or Grammer knowledge" is pure unadulterated gold.
