This happened to me years ago and although it’s an old thread, I wanted to comment in case it help anyone. I experienced the same symptoms as most on this thread- I went to see all kinds of specialists but when I finally went to my general doctor, he fixed me. Literally made a difference in 15 min. He is a general practitioner but also certified to do manipulations which is different than a chiropractor. He did tests to see if I may have MS or carpel tunnel. But those target specific fingers. He then made me stand up and checked my back. BOOM! I had three ribs out of place. Finally after 6+ months of my right hand tingling and bruising, I had an answer. Dislocated ribs sometimes don’t cause pain BUT if they pinch the right nerve, it can cause all the symptoms to your arm and fingers. Popped blood vessels etc. he adjusted me (again, different from a chiropractor) and within 15 min I felt relief in my arm hand and fingers. Now, anytime I feel tingling, I go see him and sure enough, my rib is out. People can displace ribs with a sneeze. Sometimes it causes pain and other times you can’t even tell. A miracle for me.

The most cold-hardy variety is the Darjeeling Banana (Musa sikkimensis). You know, one idea would be to design a greenhouse with modular panels that could easily be put up to enclose the banana plant every winter.

Yes, the Bayer does work and it's the best thing I have ever used for them. Those darn things will hide in places you would never think of and if there are any survivors, once they start to attack the roots or leaves again, they will die anyway since all parts of the Hoya are now toxic for weeks on end..I have no fear of accidently leaving any stragglers alive...

I've learned so much from all of you! My husband and I have been the contractors in our remodels but with this new house we have a builder. And I HAVE WARNED him that I really want to be a big part of it. We are only in the wall footings stage, so we are just starting. Our builder told me that he has heard it ALL and nothing I might ask is a dumb question. I told him I would be the first one to change his mind, so he should be prepared. He has nicely told me that I was overthinking a couple things but surprisingly I did find an error (made by the architect) that I was questioning him on. Guess I've decided to not wait to ask questions, especially about items that can not be easily changed. The main thing the builder asked was that I tell him of my concerns first. (He does answer is phone or respond quickly to my delight) . In Sheads case, only knowing what I've read, I would have done the same thing. Doorways are a pretty big thing. Time is money and her contractors subs for the next day would possibly be wasting their time and her money, if every single door had to be redone by the previous subs. In my case, I probably already know some of sub contractors or their boss because we live in a rural area next to a very small city. If I don't know them, I've probably crossed paths somewhere! If my contractor didn't respond within a few hours, yes, I would be looking for their number. Sooo, I hope I'm not the most demanding customer, ah, it could happen.
