There was a study in the headlines within the last month to this effect IIRC: Physical activity keeps alzheimers at bay. Finding good information understandable to people who aren't medical professionals on this is a little difficult, but the research does suggest that exercise may have a protective effect on the brain. For that matter, so does controlling one's blood pressure, keeping one's cholesterol low, and regular mental activity that challenges memory and thinking. There is some evidence suggesting that NSAIDs, Vitamin E etc can also have a protective effect. There was a pretty good discussion on this on a "Scientific American Frontiers" a year or two ago, which could probably be found through the PBS Web site. |

I would except that would be only the beginning of a "She said, he said"
hopeless exchange, and there would be an examiner who would come to my house, and affidavits and likely a hearing. Just not worth it. It isn't worthwhile sending a letter if you don't plan on following up (or just don't have the energy).. I've been through things like this before, and they rapidly snowball out of control. Sounds to me like this warrants a letter to the state medical board. Even if a physician doesn't want you using their FAX line, there is no way they should simply ignore your input, especially if your symptoms are obviously abnormal.

It may not be as bad as I described - who knows? Since they haven't yet
contacted you, are you feeling ignored? I just don't want to find out right now. Good luck and let me know if they contact you. I know several years back we had some problems with a moving company, and it ended up with a public hearing at which my wife had to testify about the moving company. Fortunately, we were not the only ones complaining. However, even though the company was found at fault, we never got any money back or personal resolution, so, the net effect was zero, from our viewpoint. I didn't know the process was such a pain. http://members.aol.com/dnvrfox (Family Web Page) |
