Vote Cooking With Dia for Veggie Awards 2009

I didn’t have enough write in votes last year to be officially nominated this year, but you can still vote for me by this method:

If you would like to vote for Cooking With Dia for the Veggie Awards 09′, click the picture below. It will take you to a voting form for all sorts of wonderful veggie things, when you come to “best blog” and “best website” (about 5 pages in) click on “other” and fill the box in with “http://cookingwithdia.com”

I would greatly appreciate any votes, consider it a bday present! :) You don’t need to fill in the entire form in order to vote for best blog or website, unless you want to be entered to win their prizes.

If you have never visited Cooking With Dia, the food blog is about comfort food recipes for restricted diets including: veganism, vegetarianism, the gluten free diet and the macrobiotic diet. I’m a vegan and a macrobiotic, and have a lot of fun blogging about my foodie ventures. I create the recipes, cook the food, style the plate and snap the picture. Voting closes July 31st, 2009.

The new Arachnoid Cyst Website

If you are a newly diagnosed Arachnoid Cyst patient there is a new website you should check out. www.arachnoid-cyst.com Not only does it link to the Arachnoid Activist forum, but it has a list of medical journals and newspaper articles mentioning Arachnoid Cysts. It is a great site to do your own research, which I personally highly recommend because doctors never tell you anything. So, please check it out!

Arachnoid Cyst Website

I am pleased to announce the new version of Arachnoid Cyst Activist is here. If you need information on Arachnoid Cysts and associated complications please visit www.arachnoid-cyst.com or www.arachnoidactivist.com . We know all about doctors thinking our symptoms are “psychological” or “stress related”. For some reason neuros refuse to blame any symptoms of ours on our actual brain cysts! It is almost unbelievable  that neuros would ban together worldwide to ignore Arachnoid Cyst patients.

As some of you know I have had 11 brain surgeries and countless procedures because of the havoc my Arachnoid Cyst caused: hydrocephalus, spastic gait, speech disturbances, aphasia, dysphagia, dystonia, myoclonus, bacterial meningitis, etc, etc, etc. So after living through this and moving to another country only to be “second guessed” by doctors from coast to coast I became furious!

Visit Arachnoid Activist for a list of neurosurgeons who take us seriously, and also for information from patients currently suffering from this debilitating syndrome. Compare your experiences of medications and treatments available. It is all there…
