California Prop 8 to Protect marriage "Man/Woman"

Please help support prop 8 Vote YES. It is the prop that will require people to be a man and a woman only! Help keep gay education from being taught our schools. This is a big time prop and we must stand for tradeitional marriage just the way it was always suppose to be.

Thank you and may God bless you and yours,

Support Group Meeting Update !

The desert neuropathy support group met last Friday at Bob and Odette's home. We had a really nice meeting. We all shared how we have been doing and how our overall health has been.

One of our members even helped us out on the latest information about medicare. He is a volunteer medicare counselor at a local senior center and was he helpfull. He was extremely
helpful for me because of my disability I will be going over to medicare before retirement age
after my COBRA insurance ends.

I heard from the Mizell Senior Center also today and we have hammered out the details for our future meetings.

We will start meeting every second Friday of the month starting with November. Therefore, our next meeting will be November 14, 2008 from 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

The center will also start listing our meetings in there newsletter and information board. This is very good news since I expect our group to begin to grow as we get the word out to the community at large.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me. I will post the address and map in a future post.

Best Regards,
David

Neuropathy information and Politics

This is my personal blog. It is geared toward Peripheral Neuropathies and related information. But, this is an election
year of huge porportions. With that said, I am putting information about my party and who I am voting for. On experience alone Senator John McCain is by far the best
candidate. He has over 25 years in the senate and over 20 years of armed forces experience. Including 5 1/2 years as a POW in
the Hanoi Hilton! Senator Obama has NO armed forces experience and only 4 years as a senator where he has voted over 130 times "present". That means not YES and not NO just maybe? Do we want socialism in America? NO WE DO NOT !

Politics and Neuropathy-President and our Health issues for our Future !

I know this is a blog about Neuropathy, health, pain, insurance, IVIg, CIDP, God, Life, The future, co-pays, government, etc.

This is a very important Presidential election year. Probably more important then any election since I've been alive (January 1960).

The next president will either change the way we receive treatment or make it better or worse. The next president could very well nominate 1 or even 2 Judges to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Joe the plumber from Toledo, Ohio has brought back some good memories for me. This could very well be "David the plumber" from Toledo, Ohio. Yes I once lived in Toledo from 1997-2005 and I worked for a local plumber named "Phil Schuster plumbing". Phil is a 2nd generation plumber. His Dad started the plumbing business early in the 20th century and Phil followed his foot steps. Phil is a licensed plumber in Toledo and Lucas County, Ohio. When I worked for Phil I was not required to have my own license as long as the owner was licensed. All my work was approved by my "licensed boss Phil Schuster" and then verified by the local plumbing inspector in the city of Toledo and county of Lucas, Ohio. Phil's business was a very prosperous one and very well could have exceeted $250,000 in income
a year easily. Plumber's as well as electricians make very good money.

Obama's people and the left wing news needs to do there homework and admit the truth. It amazes me to how these people think the American people are that stupid. Even plumbers are smarter than that !

So, in this time of changing politics and a new generation of young people it is my Hope that everyone does there due dilegents. If only all Americans could look back at the 1980's when a great man named Ronald Reagan led this country and was a wonderful example of how a
President should believe and act this country would not be where it is now and not going where it will go if Obama is the next president. I promise everyone who is reading this blog, if Obama gets into the White House this country will go to hell in a hand basket. Mark my words. If you think things are bad now you just wait ! The morals and values of our time is leading this great country down the sink with all the dirty water. Our future is at stake and the future of the new generation of young people. This country was founded on God and the trust of this country is printed on our currency, "In God We Trust" !

If we go back to the time when this nation trusted in God we would be a great country once again !

If Obama is elected the 44th President of the United States, socialism will quickly become the core of this land and evil will not be far behind. The history of John Adams, His Son John Quincy Adams and the 3rd President of the United States Thomas Jefferson are Presidents Americans should study. Not to mention George Washington and of course President Ronald Reagan.

Character could be the one word to sum it all up for us all. To quote a great book title, "When Character was King" does sum it all up. That book was all about a man who very well could have been a King. President Ronald Reagan was one of the top five Presidents who upheld the values of America and changed our great land for-ever and for the good of all mankind. May God bless Him and His family. Go ahead, read the book, it will change your life and how you view the world.

Trust in God and may God bless everyone,

Sincerely,
David Hines

IVIg infusion update with important news for all !




I am undergoing my last IVIg infusion as I speak. My Neurologist, Dr. Raja Boutros of the Neuro Center Medical Clinic in Murietta, California saw me on Oct
7th and concluded that I am responding to the treatment and ordered that I continue the treatment for at least another 6 months.
The company that is in charge of my IVIg treatments is Crescent Healthcare in
Orang County, California. After I moved out to the Desert I have had a new nurse
Kathy. I truly enjoy the days that she comes to administer my IVIg for my CIDP.
We have some very enjoyable conversations. I hope to have some photo's to share with you in the near future.
I am so thankful to God for all He has done in my life. In hindsight I can see how He has been in charge of my life and all that He has done.
"The life of Jesus Christ is a message of HOPE, A message of MERCY, A message of LIFE in a dark world".
"Sometimes storms of life come to teach us that God is in control, that we must lean on Him and learn to be thankful for the richness of His blessings to us".

May God bless you all with His richness of blessings,

David Hines

Doctor gives his new order

I went to see my neurologist yesterday and he said 6 more months added to your
sentence of hard labor at the prison camp of IVIg!


We believe I am benefiting from the once every 14 day infusions. I still get the roller-coaster ride effect being that I feel stronger some days and some days I
don't. That is the nature of the disease. Up and down, all around.

I will take what I can get. I continue advocating for all who suffer from this insideous disease they call "neuropathy".

Have a good day and may God bless !
