Tony going to do a review in the thread for Japonais which was in the Mirage. Enjoyed it thoroughly. I enjoyed most of the hotels for food.
Fergus (Onetime) and his missus Rosanna were great company. The boys played poker mostly at night while us ladies shopped or slept!

I had also taken lexotan before the flight to calm me but I almost cried as I was so scared.
Pretty tired now because we left the hotel this 3 hours before our flight, then had a 4hr30 min flight, then a 2 hour change, a 7hr flight, a 2 hour wait on a bus, and a 4 hour bus journey to get home. Absolute torture but should have jetlag cleared by the time i wake up in the morn.
Normally i'd ask for cliffs on the last 10 days, but spent a few hours catching up

Who knows he may have some influence plus it's most likely that i would end up been his skivvy in the company so might suit him to have someone he likes if he also had pull.
Known my luck now il probably end up getting the job and end up in Ballyragget as opposed to the Dungarvan office where im really pushing to get.May you live in interesting times!

We took off at 9.00pm Philly time and it was dark. The window blind was down and the take off was so smooth that I had no idea we had gone up! and the landing was just as smooth.
Taking the sleep aid was really good for me as I drifted in and out of sleep and the turbulance didn't bother me at all. I woke ten mins before we landed.Originally posted by Theresa View PostI really feel for anyone scared of flying. Must be terrifying. I am on of the lucky ones, I can sleep absolutely no bother in any sort of contorted position be it plane, train or automobile!
I sorta have a fear of it as well, on the day of the flight i'm in a bad way, like i flew from Lisbon about 2 weeks ago and the palms of my hands were sweating for most of the flight.
I also have the problem of been unable to sleep on planes.

But then two weeks ago going to Lisbon, i was really really scared and was bit sick cause of it.
Maybe the size of the plane plays a part - i've been told with big planes you don't feel the turbulence as much?
I actually watch a few clips on youtube there recently that show turbulence being really bad - my gf said i shouldn't have watched it but i've never been on a plane when they were that bad so my thinking is that the next time i'm on a plane and there is turbulence that i won't be scared. Heading over to a United game in a few weeks, and if i'm anyway scared, i'm more than likely going to see about hypnosis.

I have very little issue with UK flights for some reason just a small bit edgy as it lifts off really. Your basically over water for about 15 mins on that Manchester flight. Something about been over land reassures me a bit aswell.Pm for rakeback deals

Infuriating!!!!
So my mother 'suffers' from high cholesterol and on her Cardiac Risk Assessment Personal Report Card it says this (verbatim):
CUT DOWN ON FOODS WHICH ARE HIGH IN FAT AND LDL CHOLESTEROL:
Meats (especially the fat and the skin)
Saturated Fats (butter, cheese,lard)
Hydrogenated Fats, e.g. Margarine
Whole Milk Products
Eggs
Fatty Deserts including sweets with a lot of refined sugar
Fried and Fast foods
INSTEAD CHOOSE HEALTHIER OPTIONS SUCH AS:
Fruit and Vegetables (especially the leafy ones)- eat at least 5 servings daily
Legumes (peas, beans, soya products)
Wholegrains and Fibres
Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated oils, e.g olive and sunflower oils
Non-fat or skim milk productsThis may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

I also have the problem of been unable to sleep on planes.
I've done hypnosis for nail biting and found it effective. Got some CD's etc and find that if I listen regularly I'm sorted but if I skip for a couple of weeks I'll fall of the wagon. Can't really explain why, might be a total placebo but there you go.
If you are at the point where you are sweating and are extremely anxious you should talk to your doctor and get some mild anti-anxiety meds. These will help and if the dosage is right you will be able to sleep on longer flights. I do this any time I fly for more than 8 hours as I cannot sleep on planes otherwise.
I disagree totally with Tipp btw. In my experience drinking can actually increase the anxiety not reduce it but I suppose everyones different.
Finally you could deal with the root of the problem. Fear of flying is an irrational fear given the relative safety profile. Most airlines have a program for people with serious fear of flying (Aer Lingus used to do one) and I believe they have had a lot of success with it so this might be an option also.
Hope this helps...

Heading over to a United game in a few weeks, and if i'm anyway scared, i'm more than likely going to see about hypnosis.
I got a handle on it by firstly getting a Valium prescription, this apparently helps stop the panic attack gathering pace, but although I wasn't passing out anymore I was still very nervous. I felt that my fear of flying came from a feeling of a loss of control (or more presciisely the illusion of control) so i decided to educate myself on what's actually happening during the flight. I did a bit of reading on the physics of how the planes actually fly, on the accident rates and more precisely on the survival rates (you can even get statistics on the safest places to sit on the plane) i was actually quite surprised by how good a chance you have of surviving a plane crash.
I then got a pilot mate of mine to take me up in a 2 seater a few times, amazingly I had basically no nerves during those flights, cementing my belief that my fear was not actually a fear of flying but rather a fear of not having any control during the flight, when I grasped that it started getting an awful lot easier to fly, now once I'm past the first 30 seconds or so of take off I'm grand for the rest of it.

Yea some good points there, and something i should look into esp about survial rate of a crash. i suppose i know all the stats about it safter than driving a car, but if i was on a motorway, you can always just get out in you need to, whereas on a plane you can't.
Tipp's point about flying over land/water, is something that i can relate to, in my head if something goes wrong over land, we can just land the plane, where as if it's over water then it's not good.
Will see how manchester goes, fligth is short enough.

Theres a hell of a lot of skepticism, some even think that the lack of enzyme production (cant recall the enzyme type, Ill find out) might even out do any good the statins do because its an anti oxidant and the oxidisation of the cholesterol is what causes the problems.
They remove Pattern A and Pattern B LDLs from your bloodstream. Statins (and the low fat diets they are paired with) cause the body to stop producing all types of cholesterol(including HDL) as its produced by the liver to help digest fat. If youve no fat in your diet, the liver slows this and obviously then the tests show less cholesterol!! Not anything to do with making you 'healthier'.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.

fs :re cholesterol
People still misunderstanding what the fuck cholesterol is!
Here's a post on boards.ie I did earlier
Originally posted by emmet02To lower cholesterol, you need to improve your whole diet and lifestyle. There is no "quick fix" when it comes to this. Elevated Cholesterol levels in the body can be an indicator of other problems, should you fix the problems or turn off the indicator? Cholesterol is a function of lifestyle and diet.
It's quite straightforward to fix to be honest. But it takes time. Eat real food, do some activity. Real food is anything you could potentially grow or rear yourself. Food made from food, not from boxes, jars, cartons that have e numbers and refined this and that. Keep it simple, and eating is easy, satisfying, and your knowledge of "how" to cook will improve massively too as you get inventive.
With regards to getting fibre into your diet, it's simple for most too. Green leafy veg. Cruciferous vegetables are your heroes too. Spinach, Kale, Brocolli galore. Aim for 2 meals per day that have at least two fistfuls of green vegetables in them.
You're definitely right about sometimes people sounding a bit superior in here, unfortunately it's down to repetition. A lot of people answering the same questions time and time again lose some tact. It's tough to not. Nutrition101 - the sticky at the top of the forum, has loads of information. It is a long read, and you're surely going to have questions, feel free to post some in here if you're not happy to do so in the sticky.
Start today though, the best advice I can ever give anyone about tidying up their intake is to start now, while you are engaged and enthused. Empty the cupboards of the rubbish, go do a full weekly shop where you only buy real food, and don't go back to the shop this week. Meats and greens are the key to a healthy diet. Veg, fruits, nuts, eggs, cheese etc all to be added in too.

well Im a product of what I've been taught tbf. We had cardio consultants from the Mater show us the charts and how effective statins were compared to placebo in bringing down LDL and Trig's while leaving HDL alone. I think Nicotinic acid is also supplemented with statins to raise HDL these days but I'll have to look it up.
I'll get the studies at the weekend and pass them onto you if you like?
Btw not saying anything you say is wrong just saying that from what I've been taught Id be very quick to reach for the statins as first line therapy

just one question before I go to bed . I love cheese any cheese, but am confused to whether its fattening or not. if one was to stick to emmets theory of veg and meat etc , well then can you eat like chunks of chedder, well maybe 2 chunks a day and not put on weight. now that I am heading back to work I am going to concentrate on losing some weight .Her sky-ness

I dont have any knowledge of treating cardiovascular risk factors. I have spent quite a bit of time looking into the whole cholesterol myth though given the mother insists on stuffing herself with 'wholegrains, low fat products, cholesterol free products and avoids eggs like the plague. All the while she is getting wider, not reducing her LDL level.
I find it infuriating that docs or our inept health service would advise eating insulin promoting foods like the above when the over production of insulin pretty much is known to kick start the cycle of heart disease.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.

I dont claim to be a doctor btw, or to have any great knowledge, but I do take an interest in these things and it does seem that most docs take the easy way out when it comes to cholesterol because its villified so much and they wont be questioned.
I also think that any med students should be more informed of these things and actively question what they are taught! Obv Medicine is one of those areas thats always evolving and I think those that get comfy and don't bother keeping up to date are putting those that trust them in danger.
Not saying that the research Ive done is correct either, it just seems to be more correct to me and thats taking both sides into consideration.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
