Hi Tickled smilewinkgrin

I need your German knowledge LOL

Hubby is travelling to his native West African country next week (I'm kind of worried about Ebola, although there have onle been 2 cases so far). I read that stuffing your body with vitC is a good idea.
I'm too late to order Lypo-spheric vit C, my best hopes are to get a delivery in time from a german online Apotheke (I also need a stack of Ibuprofen and paracetamol for the people over there. It's about 5 times less expensive in Germany). And they are really quick...
Since I'm kind of stuck to my coach because of my lumbar fracture, I can't go and look around in town... And our webshops are useless.
You said before that you use rose hip, is that the 'pulver'? If so, how many mg per day? Is there a brand that you can advice me?

Thanks a million <3

Hi Pumpkin :-)

Lumbar fracture ???????????????????Have I missed something,what happened,are you OK?

Rose Hips question,I buy mine in capsule form from amazon.de,either Hagebutten Vegie caps from Manako( without gelatine) 500mg, 2 capsules twice a day OR Fairvital ones at the same dosage.

I've just looked at the other alternatives,pulver,tablets or caps and they all seem OK.

I really favour rose hip over normal vit C products,seems a better way to get your daily dose.

Hope this helps,please give us an update on how you are doing.

Thank you very much! I hope I'll get it in time.

I fell a few weeks ago on my back, from a ladder when going to the attic, and fractured my L1 disk. I stayed at the hospital for 12 days and am home now. Not a plaisant experience, but there's no paralysis. They said I was very lucky...
I'm going crazy staying on my back. I sometimes feel totally claustrophobic...

How was your trip to England, did you have a good time?

Hi Marie,

I'm so sorry, are you in much pain? and how long will you have to remain flat on your back?

I know I've said this before but you have definitely suffered more than you deserve,I really hope you start to feel better soon.

London was smashing :-) I went to the Globe twice,visited the Matisse exhibition,went to the Proms and enjoyed a Beethoven concert and listened to Mozart by candlelight.It was good for my soul but not very good for my poor feet smilewinkgrin

However,my health held up despite the hectic schedule........I would just like to complain about the escalators in Brussel Midi........they never work and dragging a heavy suitcase up flights of stairs is no fun.LOL.

4more weeks (then they'll xray me to see if it heals well), but I can only get up wearing a corset, which is still painful and very uncomfortable for now. The painmeds make me so nauseous. And I get claustrophobic or I hyperventilate cause I feel locked in: having to stay on my back or wearing the brace that prevents me from breathing deeply.

I'm glad you had a good time in London, without having to suffer for it afterwards (except for our stairs... eyes )
Did you wave at me? (Right direction?) LOL

Marie......I waved in every direction to make sure that I covered Gent,my sense of direction is a tad vague wink

Belgian people are lovely and friendly so I'll forgive them for the non movement of their escalators

The corset sounds horrid,I would go barmy,I can't sit still,I'm a fidgit so lying flat would be a nightmare shakehead
I guess you just have to focus on recovering and try to detatch your body from your mind........shouldn't be too difficult for a Lyme sufferer,we have all had lots of practice at that.
