It is almost here! Announced on 27th Jan by Steve Jobs (big apple man.. lol.. not sure of his official title!) the new 'iPad' will be released in two versions.

I thought folks might want to see the blog post I put up thanking
www.SavantMD.com for talking about Ataxia through videos. Dr. Savant is a friend and my doctor. Hopefully his videos help. What other questions would people like him to answer?

1. Wrap up warm you don’t want frostbite, hypothermia, flu.
2. Ask a friend or a family member to stay with you until the bad weather is over.
3. Shopping can be done in comfort of your own home from big supermarket websites like…

I'm on my 3rd week of chantix. my dizziness seems to be going away. my body is alittle shaky and bouncy.
I'm not recommending it to anyone. it can have adverse effects. I googled it yesterday and I read very negative reports from smokers on chantix. I got the impression some were downing booze along with chantix. it can be very bad mixing pills and booze.
anyway I'm just so glad not to be dizzy all day.
