You might not want to hear this but as a long time sciatica sufferer the ONLY thing that finally worked for me was Bikram yoga. Did physio and she finally told me there was nothing further she could do and that only pilates or yoga would help. I opted for yoga as I had never done it before and changed my life!

Thanks all. HereComestheSun. Do you remember the brand and price for yours? Or perhaps it was Dunlop brand? I've been looking at Michelin but am open to others. I know this topic is terribly boring but I really appreciate all info. Thanks!

Thanks for the information. DH is out of town and I need to get this done for the inspection! I've made a few calls, but still feel like there is a chance they are ripping me off. One place quotes 950/tire, the next 875/tire and then another 700/tire. I then start worrying how can the price vary so much. I'll do a bit of shopping around tomorrow and take all of your great advice below. I need to double check the date on our tires in the morning. Much appreciated!!!!

Does anyone know where I can find the small plastic condiment containers used for ketchup, mustard, etc? Need them fairly quickly and haven't had any luck locating them! Thanks.

WOW - thanks ladies, for all the tips. We don't need anything posh and in fact the Asian Ruby looks perfect! Can anyone recommend a "junk boat" in Halong Bay. I think we'd like to try staying onboard for a night or two. I've done loads of research online and found many companies that do it, but I'm not sure which one is good.

Thank you everyone for your responses. CHIZZ: Thanks for the itinerary. I think we'll stick to Vietnam as not to spread ourselves too thin. Can you tell me where you stayed in Halong Bay? From the itinerary it doesn't seem like it was on a "junk" boat, but I could be wrong. Can you also tell me where you stayed in HCMC? Thanks again for all the information.

Has anyone had a wisdom tooth pulled in Dubai? I'm starting to have issues with mine and think it's time for one to go. Any feedback would be most helpful!

Hi - In the end it was a harmless bite of another kind, but he was developing what looked like exactly like the bullseye rash so he went to the doctor right away (this was after visiting our family in the US). The first doctor had never seen Lyme's, knew nothing about it, so started googling!!! That doctor referred my hubby to the German Dr. who was much more knowledgeable about the disease. Good luck!! :-)

My husband had what he thought was Lyme's Disease and was referred to a German dermatologist by the name of Dr. Rolf Soehnchen at the Cooper Health Clinic on Al Wasl Road. He's one of, if not the only, doctor in town who is knowledgeable about Lyme's Disease (per the doctor that referred my husband to him). He explained to my husband that he's only seen about 5 or so cases of LD in Dubai and most of the patients came from the US or Europe. It's not common in the UAE, therefore few doctors are knowledgeable about it. The doctor did a blood test which was sent to Germany and results were back in about a week. In the meantime, my husband was put on an antibiotic for precautionary measures. Good luck!
