Hey, Pete--as one who suffered recurrent mono in my early years, to find it transformed into that mystery plague of the late 80's, Chronic Fatigue Syndome, aka Chronic Epstein - Barr Viral Syndrome, please accept my friendly and well-meant urgings to NOT screw around with this stuff. It can shoot the hell out of your immune system and leave you weak and listless... I strongly advise you to up intake of Vitamin C... Alacer's Emergen-C drink supplements are life-savers, literally. I got to the point where I (lifetime needle-phobic) had to give myself daily B12 shots, and that helped, too. Get the Alacer C- and B-complex tabs (big-ass green jobs) and Emergen-C. They will help a lot...and it sounds as though you can afford it!!Good luck and best wishes, Bill.
yikes! I did not know that. I had Hep B at age 12, don't know how I got it, sharing needles no doubt. Ruined my summer. Then late in my freshman year I contrated a raging, classic case of mono.
I've been puzzling over this illness for two months now, treating for a cold, then alergies, then strep...went to the doctor's three times, which doubled my lifetime visits to doctors. Then one day as I'm dumping a bottle of chloroseptic down my throat, and trying to think if I know where a crack house is in my neighborhood, it occurs to me that having a sore throat for two months that does not respond to antibiotics is a classic symptom of mono. Bingo.I started on mega doses of vitamins, and I'm happy to say, that today, I feel great! Throat is still very sore, but I have my energy back.
More good news, got a call from Kris Jeter today. Jasmine and Suzy have survived the surgery, and are on their way back to me. Kris (Steve McCormack's business partner) says everything went very well, and that I will be stunned and amazed at how good they sound. They are trying to get me to buy some Vans Evers power cords.
More good news, got my Power Plant 300 back from PS Audio. I was correct, both transformers were bad (shakey). I tried the new unit without load and it's quiet. Praise the Lord! The PS Audio service is the best I've ever experienced--better even than the wife's Lexus dealer (although they always give her a new Lexus to drive when they service her car--last one was one of those funky RX300's. Very weird car. I felt like I was driving a stepladder! Waiting for them to give her the GS400...oh baby!).
So I'm in a frenzy of last minute painting of the listening room, and working on some Jon Risch treatments for the sidewalls. The amps should be here next Friday. It's been over three months without the system. No wonder I got sick.
Florida is out. Have sisters in NH and Charlotte, who will probably be comming up to stay with us at the Jersey Shore for a week. It's roughly half way for each of them. Thanks for the tip though. I think the kids would love the train ride South. I'll keep that in mind. My college roomate has a business in Key Largo. Haven't seen him in...oh god, am I that old already?
