- April 25, 2010 - (Sorry about
the tinges of garden on my nail.)
I didn't notice this centrally
located, rather thick, whitish
looking ridge on my right index
finger while it was developing.
When I saw it a week or so ago I
was worried because my nerves
don't seem that much worse. I
wondered what it could be
associated with.
Today I noticed that it no longer
decreased in prominence since I have been using vitamin C to get rid of
the infection indicated by the reddish line on my right thumb.
- Also April 25, 2010 - The nail
on my right little finger is lifting -
a condition known as Onycholysis.
My plan is to soak it in alcohol a
few times a day and see if that
kills the infection which may be
causing the problem. I'll put the
alcohol into a small empty bottle
from Source Naturals
Methylcobalamin. Perfect size.
This is a picture of my normal nail
on my left little finger. You can
see how much longer the nail is,
going to the tip of my finger and
beyond. It's attached to my
fingernail bed to a point very near
the tip of my finger, which the nail
on my right hand is not.
Besides alcohol soaks, I'll soak it
in Epsom salts a few times weekly.
March 21, 2011 - Soaking my
little finger in alcohol for about
20 minutes while I watched telly
episodes worked to get rid of the
Onycholysis within a month or two,
but I failed to immediately take a
picture and update this page.
My nail is no longer separating
from its nail bed.
Also: yesterday evening I noticed
yellow spots under my right
thumbnail. In real life they look
like pimples under my fingernail,
which is different than the white
spots that appear when there's
huge stress. They are in reddish
coloring at the top of my
thumbnail, so I'm not surprised to
read that spots like this can be a
sign of infection. I guess the
spots are related to the dental
thumbnail would go away after I had the dental implant removed that
was clearly infected. But, the line didn't go completely away, which
makes me think the other two implants are infected, but not as badly.
It worries me that I've been taking Ibuprofen since last October,
due to hurting my back. Ibuprofen is bad for the jaw bone, so I'm
thinking that I may be helping the infection due to this long use of
Ibuprofen. I've reduced my use: from 2 every 6 hours, to 2 every 8
hours, to 1 every 8 hours, and now to one a day. I ordered Astaxanthin
to help with the pain, per reviews at Vitacost. But it apparently takes
a couple weeks to get working to its full strength.
I'm worried that Ibuprofen contributed to the grinding noise my left
hip recently began to make, so I've ordered Glucosamine-Chondroitin.
- April 20, 2010 - It's taking a
lot longer to get rid of the deeply
reddish line that is linked to
infection than I had anticipated.
I was sitting in the sun this
morning when I noticed that the
line was showing up a bit defined
from the rest of the reddness. So
I took a photograph. Because the
sunlight is so different from the
light in my living room, the image
life, the line goes only about half way up now. The problem in showing
this is that the line beneath my fingernail corresponds to a ridge in my
fingernail, so the raised-ness of it makes it look as if the reddness
beneath goes further than in the sunlight it appears to actually go.
I bought some inexpensive Kiwi-Strawberry punch from Wal*Mart to
use between cups of coffee, so that I could take the vitamin C more
regularly. I'm trying to take 250 mg every half hour to 15 minutes, but
often forget for an hour or more. Still, the punch makes it easy to take
vitamin C. And, I eat peanuts so it's not on an empty stomach.
- March 3, 2010 - I was almost
out of vitamin C yesterday, so I
took less than half the amount I
usually take.
Today the reddishness seems
more intense. Luckily the light
here in the living room seems
better for photographing.
The vitamin C that I ordered on
February 28, just arrived via
USPS. So I took this photo
packaged cheese so I have something to eat with the vitamin C and
then use 1gram (1000mg) every 15 minutes for 8 hours...
| Pictures of Fingernail Lines/Ridges with Little or No Moon |
The pictures on this page show moons in various stages of return and
retreat and that fingernail lines are in the texture of the nail. Because
the changes in nail texture are gradual you may hardly notice them to
begin with. When you see ridges in your nails check a list of symptoms
of low B12; then, if you are dealing with some of the symptoms take
Methylcobalamin and track your improvement.

May 6, 2006 - The coarse
ridges on my left ring finger are
smooth compared to nine years
ago. The sensation in my feet is
much better now, too. My B12
replacement began in 1997.
Here's my Time Line.
There is just the faintest
lightening at the base of my
middle fingernail on the right.
With regular B12 shots and little
stress that will become a more
defined moon.

severely impacted my life.
There are several things related to health that fingernails can tell you,
so it is a good idea to keep an eye on them. Mainly you want to see them
remain smooth.
When I was living in the hydrogen sulfide from the privy pit, I had
horizontal valleys in my nails, especially the thumb. These were quite
large dips in the nails.
One very serious thing is if your nails begin to curve over the top of
your finger... I learned that was a sign of heart disease, some say lung
disease. This is what it looks like:

December 21, 2006 - I expect the
reddish area above my moon to fade
and the moon to be more clear and
defined after a B12 shot. The slightly
reddish area looks like an aurora
borealis to me.
The long bit of reddish color (taupe?)
that goes to the top of my finger was
much darker when I had a blood
infection related to having tetanus.

The reason for this narrow focus is that low vitamin B12 severely
impacted my life. However in doing this photo study I've begun to see
how an infection manifests on our nails. Low grade infections make us
tired and often cause hair to fall out. Infections can be controlled,
sometimes wiped out, with vitamin C.

December 23, 2006 a.m. - I took
this picture before I had vitamin C or
a B12 shot. My toes are stiff; I think
my dental infection caused by old
dental implants is on the rise. The
reddish area is darker and no longer
appears to have a break.(The
differences are subtle. That's why
you have to get used to watching your
fingernails for signs of health
changes.)
I'm having dental surgery in a month.
I'm eager to see if that will effect a
change in the reddish pattern.

December 23, 2006 p.m. - It's
going to be hard to show how vitamin
B12 changes the moon until after I
have the dental surgery, because this
way the redness from the infection is
overpowering the moon.
(I bought this camera because the
review at dpreview showed clear,
detailed pictures. But it wasn't as
good at the color red as the Minolta...
now I can see how it would be good to
have the Minolta to show the reddish
line.)

December 24, 2006 p.m. This
picture was taken about 24 hours
after those above. I have the light on
and I tried to get my hand about the
same distance from the camera, using
a Macro lens.
The reddish, "aurora borealis" area
seems less dark and smaller but it's
still affecting the moon.
The periodontist said the little bumps
on the left side of my neck are from
the infection. There's nothing but a
thin "scale" where the first one used
to be (from taking vitamin C) and none
of them are very large any more. If
they went away, then I think the
reddish area would go away, too.

December 25, 2006 p.m. - This
picture shows the moon to be less
transparent. The reddish area is
lighter and narrower toward the top:
it almost disappears in the very light
area.
In fact I feel better. The bumps on
my neck (which the Periodontist
indicated were related to the
infection in my jaw) are less
pronounced.
My toes are stiff, but my feet aren't
as spongy. Still, I nearly fell when I
suddenly had a slipping feeling. It's
my nerves playing tricks, which is a
common problem with low B12, but
it's still scary.

December 26, 2006 p.m. This
picture of my right thumbnail shows
the moon to be more distinct and the

corresponds with the infection being
better today. The bumps on my neck
are nearly flat. If I press a bit, then
I can feel them under the skin.
(Bumps on your neck can show dental
infection.)
I had a B12 shot today, and about 15
grams of vitamin C so far. My tinnitus
is pretty bad, but my feet aren't as
spongy today.

December 27, 2006 a.m. I've
quickly taken a picture of my
thumbnail this morning because I had
a pressure type toothache during the
night and I wanted to see if there
was any indication on my thumb nail
that the infection was worse.
So, yes. The reddish bit is obscuring
the moon a bit, making it look as if it
has holes in it. Also, the reddish bit
goes to the top of my thumb.
Yesterday a whitish band crossed the
top.
I've taken 15 of the 500mg vitamin C
and hope to see and feel a change.

July 21, 2008 - NOTE: Please, everyone coming to this page, pray
for me. I have an appeal regarding my condo that was foreclosed and a
sale date scheduled without any notice to me. I spent $15,000 or
$20,000 getting the privy pit excavated and the whole of that problem
cleaned up and repaired, and I cannot get the New Mexico state courts
to hear me. I didn't rent my condo while I wasn't sure if there was
more hydrogen sulfide from a second pit, and that lost me $15,000 in
rent. But, I knew no one else was being hurt by toxic sewer gas as I
had been. (Please will you pray for me?)
It is so stressful to have to prepare papers that take a lot of energy
and at the same time know that every single other attempt, and there
have been many, has gone ignored. The courts have refused to
accommodate my mental disability, except when the accommodation
doesn't make much difference. For the big things, like confirming the
sale of my condo without me having notice of the sale, for that they
gave me less than 24 hours written notice for the hearing. It was just
so intensely stressful. I keep getting so much worse because of this.
The U.S. Supreme Court has said that 24 hours notice is not enough
and anything done like that is void for lack of due process. But the
court here would not let me read that part at the hearing which I think
was on my motion to reconsider. (I don't really know because they
would never grant a hearing when I requested one, so the hearings were
all from the point of view of the people who were profiting by taking
advantage of me.)
(I'm working on a page in relation to Michael Marmot's new book on
stress and how it affects life expectancy for the worse.)
I feel as if I should not keep trying to get my condo back because it is
taking such a huge toll on my health and the courts appear set on
ignoring me under one technicality or another. But I paid on it for 17
years and I did all that work, and the money from it was supposed to
take care of me in my old age... i.e. now.
I so need prayers. Prayers in any religion will be much appreciated.
I posted my Amended Third Party Complaint years ago. That was
dismissed by the court.
This is all because of the privy pit... and possibly my low B12 and nerve
damage: I believe that if I had not had the mental disability caused by
the low B12, I would have been able to be more effective in finding the
hydrogen sulfide problem and handling it before I suffered even more
cognitive dysfunction from additional nerve damage.
Because the symptoms of living in the hydrogen sulfide, a known toxin,
were so similar to those of low B12, I wasn't very worried in the
beginning because I thought that B12 would sort everything out the way
it had when I first began B12 replacement therapy. (The changes are
recorded in my Time Line.)
But, so far that hasn't been entirely true. The B12 has helped, there's
no doubt about that. It's just that I still can't talk very well. I can
write better than I can talk because writing is so much slower than
talking.
Well, thank you for visiting my page. I hope that if you have symptoms
of low B12 you start taking Methylcobalamin. I think that if I'd had
larger amounts earlier on that I would have been much better off.

December 28, 2006 p.m. This

quite a lot of reddish streaking in
the bottom half and a bit up at the
top. It's subtle, but I think you can
see it. (The light areas look lightened
as if from pressure.)
Despite the reddish area I feel
better today, possibly because
people who visit this page have been
praying for me, as I ask below. And
possibly because I'm less stressed
now that I've had to accept that I
may have to ask for another
extension in my appeal re my condo.

shows the ridges. (These ridges are
vastly reduced from having had 9
years of B12 replacement therapy.)
I took this picture because there is a
red spot at the top of the reddish
line but the picture doesn't show the
color very well. A similar red spot
was prominent before the last course
of Metronidazol, early 2005. At
that time it was about the size of a
lentil and intensely colored.
This picture was taken with a flash,
quite late, and the table light's on. I
used the macro lens.

Macro. Although my thumbnail is
out of focus, you can see the

I can't see well enough to tell if

You can see that here the focus
is best on the Appeal Court's

Interestingly enough, this picture

December 30, 2006 p.m. This
picture was taken after significant
help from members of the dpreview
forum. If I keep taking clearer
pictures you'll be able to see what I
am talking about in terms of ridges
and coloring. Though the color still
doesn't show what I see when I look
at my real thumbnail.
This shot shows how ridges look as
they disappear. Look at the top of my
thumbnail: see the thick line next to a
long line that goes all the way down
my nail. That thick line used to go all
the way down, too. It is growing out.
I have watched my fingernails grow
smoother over ten years. I want
people to look at their fingernails
and if they have ridges, I want them
to get Methylcobalamin and take it
and watch the results, not just on
their fingernails but in relation to
all of the symptoms related to low
vitamin B12.

and watch the results, not just on
their fingernails but in relation to
all of the symptoms related to low
vitamin B12.
January 1, 2007 p.m. This picture
is one of two dozen that I took this
evening in an attempt to get the
reddish line and spot at the top of my
thumbnail to show the way that they
do in real life. None of the pictures
were successful.
This picture clearly shows the ridge
at top, to the left of middle. You can
see that below the rounded end my
nail is nearly smooth. ( I forgot to
rub the cuticle back with petroleum
gel.)

January 31, 2007 - I wasn't going
to take a picture because my nails
look bad; let me explain: Snow was so
high up the water heater vent pipe
that as it melted it leaked all around
the pipe. In catching the water I
bumped a pipe and it sprang a pinhole
leak, but I thought the water was
still from the roof. Finally I shut the
water off.
This picture shows the reddish line, a
bit to the right of center. I've been
sick the last few days with an
abscess feeling on the roof of my
mouth by my left eye tooth. My
eyes burn and I feel feverish.

I was supposed to have had the surgery today to remove part of the
bone where the infection is around my old dental implants, but (it's so
stressful that writing about it is making the abscess feeling worse)
there was a hearing scheduled in another case for Monday, and I didn't
think the judge would give me a continuance because he was the judge
who foreclosed my condo without a hearing, so I postponed my surgery.
But then I got so worried that I "excused" him. But now the case was
given to Judge Hall who was the first judge to refuse to accommodate
my disability; plus, he wouldn't let me produce evidence at a Rule 56
hearing, which is exactly wrong. When I saw his name as the new judge
I felt sick, the infection got much worse and I had the intense pain in
my thoracic diaphragm that I never had before I had tetanus. Things
are never simple. (I keep reminding myself that even air is not simple,
it isn't just oxygen, it's a mixture, like water is H2O.)
The good thing is that from taking these pictures I became aware of
an infection affects nails, and I've been taking extra vitamin C (a little
over 20 grams a day) and it's got the infection almost back under
control. Though my thumb doesn't look as good as it could, in terms of
the reddish line.
In order to keep the leak from leaking onto the floor, I have to reduce
the water pressure by leaving the water on in the kitchen when I have
the water turned on in the house. So, not to waste that water, I collect
it and put it in the washing machine. But it's so much to remember that
with my brain damage I've not been able to handle heating water in my
electric kettle and washing dishes, which is what kept my nails looking
much better. : )

February 1, 2007 - I chose this
picture out of two dozen. You can
see that the ridge from December
30th is gone.
The reddish blotch at the top relates
to my infection.
If you have reddish coloring like this
on your nails, and especially if you're
having hair fall out, you may have an
infection somewhere in your body. If
you are feeling tired, that is another
sign. You might try vitamin C... read

Fingernail ridges show health boundaries that bite.
As an aside, I stopped taking daily pictures because by the time it
was dark enough to get the better images I was too tired and sick
feeling, from the infection I guess, to do it. So I need to get some
curtains I can close to block out the light during the day... only it was
so dingy and dirty in here that I decided to paint before I got new
curtains, and I can only do a few minutes at a time because of the
lingering nerve damage from the tetanus. But, I am working on it. You
can see a picture on my WorkingWell page.

March 10, 2007 - The reddish
splotch to the right of middle at the
top of my fingernail goes all the way
down and into my moon. Infection in
my jaw from the old dental implants
is definitely increasing as a problem.
I had to delay the surgery again. The
lady who was going to give me a ride
had to go out of town. I can't use the
ADA rides because if they were to
leave me again, after the surgery, I
might not be able to recover. Last
time took a huge toll on my health
and it's only been about two weeks
that my feet aren't going spongy and
I can walk without nearly falling.

I reduced the amount of vitamin C I was taking because I got quite
puffy under my eyes. I don't know if it was from the C or one of the
other vitamins. I reduced all of the vitamins I was taking by about half
(except for the B12) and I reduced the vitamin C by about 90%. I've
only been taking about 4 to 6 grams a day. And, I've been feeling the
beginning of a toothache most days. (But stress has increased due to
legal things. Jill Tiedemann's lawyer tried to set a hearing date before
I had a chance to answer his motion. The foreclosure lawyer used to do
that and it was devastatingly stressful. So even now while I'm writing
this my tooth is beginning to throb from the stress.) I'm beginning a

the ridges are getting worse at the bottom. There's been so much
stress, andthere were two nights I hardly slept. Which reminds me that
in reality I've had a hard time thinking clearly lately, too. Darn stress!

April 18, 2007 - They turned off my power on April 4, 2007, so I
don't have heat or lights. It's getting to be warmer weather now, and
I'm going to get solar because that will be less stressful and therefore
more healthy. (I asked them for two days so I could transfer money,
but no. I didn't even have phone when they turned off the electric.
And the guy laughed. So by the time Easter was over, I was pretty
determined not to go back to PNM given that they shut me off just to
be mean. They would have had their money on the 6th, if what they
wanted was their money. I'm not going to encourage them to treat
people like this by paying them any more.)

Today, though, I woke up and saw
that my thumb nail has a sort of
chasm in the moon. I've never seen
this before and find it worrying.
I've been so stressed by trying to
stay warm and the days are so short
without electricity that I've not
taken regular photos. And, I have all
the court stuff to hand write without
my printer. (Never a dull moment.)
I've handwritten notes in my Time
Line. I wish I could use my computer
with the portable solar thing I got,
but it doesn't give me an hour a day,
and by the time I turn on, the email
loads, the schedule alarms go off...

June 20, 2007 - Sorry about the
dirt under my nail. My solar is just a
bit of wiring away from working and
I've been preoccupied. I heat water
in the sun, but there's been so much
going on. Anyway, sorry.
I've worked really hard at having a
lot of B12 to get my moon made
whole again, and that's been
successful. But the reddish streak is
forming into rather distinct lines,
and that's not good.

When I had tetanus I had red lines under my nails, but they were
fine lines that looked as if they could have been drawn by a pen with the
finest point possible. My camera wasn't good enough to capture them,
partially because it didn't have a Macro lens and my arms weren't long
enough to get the camera far enough away to focus. I do wish I could
show you those lines.
I'm going to have to drink a lot more water and take more vitamin C.
It's been hard to remember to do that with the solar going in and
people here all the time. I have been feeling not that well. I was really
sick one day and didn't want them to know. It will be good when the
solar is finished so I can concentrate on the things I'm supposed to do
every day in order to stay well, if not get better. This way I forget.

July 10, 2007 - I cut my nail at
the point where the hang nail was.
The red lines are pretty distinct
and I'm a bit worried. I'm happy
my moon is strong, and that's a
result of consistently having B12
shots because I was worried about
the valley that appeared in the
middle of my moon. I must have not
been taking Vitamin C and drinking
enough water, and now the infection
is really showing up on my nails.

But... not to panic. (Did you ever read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?
See, that reminds me, Douglas Adams died really young,) and I bet he
had major ridges on his nails. I just bet that if he'd known about B12
that he could have lived to write more novels. What I want to say, is
that the girl he dedicated Hitchhiker's Guide to used to sell my silver
bangles for me at Camden Passage in Islington. She showed them for me,
is more accurate, since I don't think one ever sold. She was really nice.
I don't remember how I met her, except that Douglas Adams lived quite
near to where my son and I lived. Hitchhiker's Guide was very popular
with a young crowd in England after it was read on the wireless... yes,
that's what they called the radio.)

The judge said I'd
done my Request for Hearing wrong. Fine, but that wasn't on the Notice
of Hearing I'd received so I hadn't prepared to talk about that and I
got confused.
He had already sent a letter saying that I hadn't sent him a complete
"package," and, he'd sent back the set of papers I'd sent in.
What was so stressful was that the hearing had been scheduled on a
incomplete package sent in by the lawyer, so it was obvious that "equal
under the law" was not applying in this case.
When the pain hit it was so intense it made me flinch. After that I had
to hold on to the podium in order to stand up. I am sure the pain was
from the extreme distress of not being treated equally.
Anyway, I've never before had so many white spots appear at once.
Friday night I could not go to sleep. By dawn I was painfully exhausted
and luckily I got 3 hours of sleep then.

There was another hearing, in the foreclosure proceeding on my home
where I wasn't served, but happened to find the case while using the
internet. Again the hearing was stressful and again I got the white
marks on my left hand middle finger. I was "sick" for almost two
months following the hearing (pain, severe balance problems), and a lot
of the time I thought about killing myself because foreclosure seemed
inevitable because it felt as if the judge had predetermined to do that.)
It's the same judge who foreclosed my condo without any hearing after
I had answered. I felt as if I was going to die on the sidewalk in a short
time if I were foreclosed because I have so little money each month.
But then a woman from the City called and it looks as if there's low
income housing, so I wouldn't actually be living on the cement sidewalk,
and I began to get better.
Since then I've seen that the lawyer who wrote the papers in my condo
case lied in a lot of them. I have an Adversary Proceeding in bankruptcy
court regarding the lawyer's violations of stay, so I've looked at
everything he filed and it's possible he completely misled the judge.
I am hoping that the judge looks at the fact that I tried to pay my
mortgage to Wells Fargo off in 2005, but Wells Fargo wanted to
auction my home rather than letting me pay it off, so I filed Chapter
11 and saved my home, but destroyed my credit so I couldn't refinance
before the mortgage meltdown. I hope that the judge looks honestly at
my counterclaim against Wells Fargo for bad faith.

The red/taupe line tends to appear when I

was up very late trying to get my internet to work properly, and this
morning my eyes burn, I've had several strands of hair fall out, and
there's the line. (I wanted to take a picture before I took vitamin C,
because I'm counting on the vitamin C to make the line/infection go
away. I should mention that an underlying stress is the foreclosure
action on my home: there's a hearing set for October 19, 2009.)

For that reason I think the infection is back under control.

January 30, 2010 - I was too optimistic.
Yes, the line went away directly after I took
the vitamin C, but it has not gone completely
away for good. For a long time I had bumps
on my neck that the periodontist said were
associated with a dental infection.
After brushing my teeth vigorously in hope
Yes, the line went away directly after I took
the vitamin C, but it has not gone completely
away for good. For a long time I had bumps
on my neck that the periodontist said were
associated with a dental infection.
After brushing my teeth vigorously in hope
of scrubbing away any lose, offending infection, my gum felt as if the
infection were worse, as though it had broken through.
Then, after eating some peanuts it felt as if a bit of nut was stuck in
the area of the infection. When I looked in the mirror I saw that my
gum has a bit of ragged metal sticking up from the implant. The
implants were expensive and from a recommended dental surgeon here
in Santa Fe, so it was very distressing to see that what I had paid for
was so crude. My distress made the infection worse in subsequent days.
But then I began to remind myself that people can have a bullet stuck
in them and live happily, or metal from an accident. Once I was not
feeling so extremely distressed the bumps went away. Whew!!!
But, the red line did not resolve. My problem is that there are so many
things, especially the court related things, pushing down on me that I
forget to make coffee or tea enough times in a day to make a
difference (taking vitamin C with the liquid).
February 14, 2010 - I've already taken vitamin C today, so the line
has been affected, else I would take a picture to illustrate how it's
changing: overall it's getting worse and is now going down into my moon,
much the way it did on April 18, 2007.
Because it did this once before and then "healed" I'm hoping that if I
can just get my distress over court things under control, that my body
will be able to effectively combat the infection with the help of vitamin
C. (During the last two status conferences in my bankruptcy adversary
proceedings the defendants sounded jubilant, so I felt they must have
heard there would be no judgment against them. That made me feel
uneasy and distressed, since the tenants had broken their lease and
caused my hot water heater to burn out, with the result I no longer
had an income... long story, and so SO distressing.) I received a copy
of the Order and Memorandum on Saturday, and yes, they got off.
But today I'm thinking that it could be because I failed to properly
bring them before the bankruptcy court -- that would be
understandable and not something that makes me feel as if the court
is against me the way I felt it was in the foreclosure of my condo
that was done without due process and then the judge was reported

Then, after eating some peanuts it felt as if a bit of nut was stuck in
the area of the infection. When I looked in the mirror I saw that my
gum has a bit of ragged metal sticking up from the implant. The
implants were expensive and from a recommended dental surgeon here
in Santa Fe, so it was very distressing to see that what I had paid for
was so crude. My distress made the infection worse in subsequent days.
But then I began to remind myself that people can have a bullet stuck
in them and live happily, or metal from an accident. Once I was not
feeling so extremely distressed the bumps went away. Whew!!!
But, the red line did not resolve. My problem is that there are so many
things, especially the court related things, pushing down on me that I
forget to make coffee or tea enough times in a day to make a
difference (taking vitamin C with the liquid).
February 14, 2010 - I've already taken vitamin C today, so the line
has been affected, else I would take a picture to illustrate how it's
changing: overall it's getting worse and is now going down into my moon,
much the way it did on April 18, 2007.
Because it did this once before and then "healed" I'm hoping that if I
can just get my distress over court things under control, that my body
will be able to effectively combat the infection with the help of vitamin
C. (During the last two status conferences in my bankruptcy adversary
proceedings the defendants sounded jubilant, so I felt they must have
heard there would be no judgment against them. That made me feel
uneasy and distressed, since the tenants had broken their lease and
caused my hot water heater to burn out, with the result I no longer
had an income... long story, and so SO distressing.) I received a copy
of the Order and Memorandum on Saturday, and yes, they got off.
But today I'm thinking that it could be because I failed to properly
bring them before the bankruptcy court -- that would be
understandable and not something that makes me feel as if the court
is against me the way I felt it was in the foreclosure of my condo
that was done without due process and then the judge was reported
to have said there was "no way" I would get it back.)
I've been repotting
several of my plants,
and I didn't realize
that I should have
scrubbed under my
fingernail much more
fiercely than I did....

- March 2, 2010 - My camera does not
show the color red very well. When I
bought it there was another camera that
showed red much better, but its lens
wasn't as good as the Leica lens in this
camera, so I bought this one for overall
better quality. At times like these I wish
I had the ability to show red better.
Nevertheless, I think you can see where there's a line of coloration
running from the top of my thumb's fingernail (where it touches flesh)
to the top of its moon.
On my real nail there's a blotch at the top that's darker red. I took
nearly two dozen photos in an attempt to show that, but none made it
as clear as it is on my actual thumb.
When I had tetanus there was a reddish blotch there also. It was
about the size of a lentil and very dark, but the camera I had then
didn't take macro shots, and I couldn't get my finger far enough from
the camera to get a clear image using the regular lens.
I really want to show this because the line of coloration is related to
an infection in my body: the line goes away when I consistently take
vitamin C (in quantities meant to kill an infection) and it comes back
when stress is high.
I have the word of my dentist that I have a dental infection in my jaw
around the old type of implants that I have. The periodontist my
dentist sent me to said that the bumps I periodically get on my neck
are from the infection. In fact a question about bumps on ones neck
was on his intake papers.
As soon as I get my social security tomorrow I'm going to arrange a
ride to Wal*Mart so I can get some crackers and some pre-packaged
cheddar so that I have something to eat with vitamin c so that I can
take it every quarter hour for 8 hours. That will be 32 grams. I think
that if I can just get the infection under control that my body will be
able to keep it under control as long as I don't get too stressed.
I know that in the past I've been able to completely get rid of the
line, so I hope I can do that again.
I'm going to duplicate this on my vitamin C page with an explanation of
why vitamin C can do what it does.
