This antivenom is created using a process that obtains antibodies “raised” by immunizing sheep and then harvesting and purifying the product. One of the major benefits of using this product is to take advantage of a lesser incidence of allergic reactions (than have traditionally been observed with previous products). It appears that the situation regarding the incidence of allergic reactions may be better than previously thought. In the article, “Short Term Outcomes After Fab Antivenom Therapy for Severe Crotaline Snakebite,” Eric Lavonas, MD and colleagues (Ann Emerg Me...

I am jealous, angry or judgmental, or sometimes indifferent or overwhelmed. But more often than not these uncomfortable feelings are not meteors at all. They aren’t streaking across my mind and crashing into my psyche. Rather, they are a thick, murky fog of thoughts and feelings that slowly but steadily eclipse my optimism. And that’s only half of it. Then I feel bad for having the thoughts. This makes it worse. Now, regardless of the form they come in, the conflict moves to an inner theater. I’m aggravated at whatever got me going in t...

I actually saw this when it was first air on TV. I really only know these guys because The Soup makes soooo much fun of them. And just when you think you couldn’t hate the no-talent stars of the insanely juvenile ”The Hills” any more, you can. Just watch! Here is my GayGuideToronto.Com update where I give you TMI-rated Facebook this week. I’ve been so singularly obsessed over this www.positivelite.com project. So much so that I can’t even rememer the last time I jerked off? Was the last time I came when I had that John Waters moment with the used comdon still on the end table for the last guy when I was doing someone else?

I’m having such a hard time these days. Now I have to figure out content for four, soon to be five venues: Acid Reflux, GayGuideToronto.Com, fab magazine, and my new video blog, “No You Can’t Stay For Coffee.” and Project X – not yet officially announced. Today’s Acid Reflux post, I decided to put up on GayGuideToronto.Com instead, leaving the original post in the can for another time. I’m trying to differentiate them by a few ways. Acid Reflux is more like a diary and where I can post my silly shit that I may not want to put on GayGuideToronto.Com. On GayGuideToronto.Com I’m trying to be more topical, and will also air my video blog, along with Project X.

John and I were a couple of horny guys, rich in spirit but poor in wallet, on a quest to explore the cities of Europe, Sin City style. Our first stop Berlin was just as we expected, full of energy and rawness. Even the name of a train station, Hauptbahnhof, sounded downright dirty in German. Our accommodation was to be a gay brothel. It was a simple deal, we sold our asses and the rent was paid which sure beat the hell out of washing dishes or cleaning toilets. I had imagined the place would be decked out in red flocked wallpaper, very bordello-esque with dim lighting under which I formed part... acidrefluxweb.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2762109 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 14:49:43 +0100 2762109 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2512694&cid=t_129532_135_f&fid=35274&url=http%3A%2F%2Facidrefluxweb.com%2F%3Fp%3D3681 Gay Guide Toronto 2.0 is up and running, and I’m so happy to announce that I am back on the new and improved site. My first post went up today @ http://gayguidetoronto.com/category/acid-reflux/ Most of the posts will be mirrors of this site, but not always. Today is the first step in moving in the new directions I’ve planned and am presently working on. Today my piece on doing pride sober comes out in fab magazine. The editor says it looks fabulous, I’ll have to take his word for now. They haven’t yet uploaded the new edition online yet so I can’t give you a link to it. You’ll either think it’s cute and amusing, or not. Yesterday’s voice class was great.

Last night, all doped up, I popped in my last DVD to watch. Having been so strung out post-mouth op, and plain tiredness, I picked up some duds. Or at least they weren’t capable of holding my interest. The final one was “The Day The Earth Stood Still” well, it was more like the “The Day 135 Minutes Stood Still” When someone is f.ed up and over medicated from psych drugs and you’re still not into the movie, something is wrong. The other two were just as bad for me, “Passengers, and Killshot” (With Mickey Rouke – All I do when I see him is think, “Man what did you do to f. yourself up so much?”) Today is day on of the switch to the former antidepressant, the one that ... acidrefluxweb.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2474053 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 15:39:00 +0100 2474053 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2298734&cid=t_129532_135_f&fid=35274&url=http%3A%2F%2Facidrefluxweb.com%2F%3Fp%3D3238 Edition #364, January 21 -February 4, 2009 Once upon a time I adopted a mutt, Spencer, from the Humane Society. For some bonding time, I brought him to the Toronto PWA Foundation, where I worked. Someone petted Spencer and asked how old he was. Upon being informed that Spencer was 10 I was sarcastically asked, “Why’d you get a dog so old?” I quickly retorted, “Because I wanted a pet I’d outlive.” And then I laughed. The topic was never raised again. Over two decades ago, when I received a positive HIV test result, I felt suspended in a void between laughing and crying. People were dying horrific and slow deaths, there was no effective treatment and the only question was: When will it be my turn? “I’m born, ... acidrefluxweb.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2298734 Sun, 22 Mar 2009 19:51:26 +0100 2298734 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1806276&cid=t_129532_135_f&fid=35274&url=http%3A%2F%2Facidrefluxweb.com%2F%3Fp%3D1657 Of course, getting a dig any chance I can get at Sustiva, and Atriple, I will take. Especially with the help of my friend Kostas. It’s almost as good as the first cup of coffee in the morning. More will follow. Here is where I’m going to shameless plug myself, ahhhhh promote myself. I usually do the former, emphasis on usually, in a more private setting. Mexico City, posthumous. I wanted to write something about the conference. And of course it was the continuation on the theme of A-list and my life on the D-list. I’m actually feeling a little nervous about it. That nervousness is actually a good thing because it’s the sensation of taking oneself out of one’s comfort zone. By getting out of my comfort zone, I hoping to take others along with me.  When HIV is ... acidrefluxweb.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1806276 Thu, 18 Sep 2008 14:44:52 +0100 1806276 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=716524&cid=t_129532_87_f&fid=34865&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thecancerblog.com%2F2007%2F07%2F05%2Fformer-friar-piston-jimmy-walker-dies-of-cancer%2F Filed under: Lung Cancer, Daily news, SportsJimmy Walker, former Providence College basketball star and first pick in the 1967 NBA draft, died Monday of lung cancer. He was 63.Walker played three seasons at Providence and held a school record with a total of 2,045 scored points. His record stood for 38 years. Ryan Gomes surpassed his total in 2005."He was an amazing phenomenon," says Jim Cox, who played with Walker in 1964. "That he ended up at Providence College was a remarkable development. He was so good, so blessed. He was ahead of his time." Walker, father of NBA player Jalen Rose -- part of Michigan's Fab Five of the 1990s -- was drafted by the Detroit Pistons and averaged 16.7 points a game in nine NBA seasons. At one time, Walker and Rose held the NCAA Division I record for most ca... The Cancer Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=716524 Thu, 05 Jul 2007 04:00:00 +0100 716524
