I have some baby's breath bushes that are currently in full sun and would like to move them to a morning sun only location. Will they do ok? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I would advise you to postpone transplanting until after summer when cooler weather sets in. I don't know much about your plant and perhaps others can advise you if the location is okay. |

i was wondering if there is a good covercrop to sow in the lawn in Dec, or possibly later????
my soil sucks, its acidic, poor titlth heavy clay, i've been liming it and top dressing with mulched leaves and compost so.....in time in it heal. but for now i would need a winter germinating cover crop for poor soils. thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
While Field, or Winter, or Cereal Rye does germinate quite well in cooler weather I' be surprised if even that would germinate in December. I seeded some in early November here and the weather during November was too cold for good germination even then. Oats might germinate in cooler weather but temperatures below 32 degrees will kill and growth which would defeat your purpose. |
- Posted by maplerbirch 4 (My Page) on Wed, Dec 23, 09 at 6:47
You might be further ahead, to add a sandy compost and till it all together. Keep adding the sandy compost until the texture is good then plant annual ryegrass for the summer. As fall approaches till it up again and put in a nice lawn. |
- Posted by dchall_san_antonio 8 San Antonio (My Page) on Thu, Jan 7, 10 at 22:30
I strongly disagree with any suggestion that involves tilling a lawn. After reading these forums for years and years, tilling is the one thing that stands out as being the biggest mistake found over and over again in magazines and books. Besides killing the long strand beneficial fungi in the soil, tilling fluffs up the soil to an uneven depth which eventually settles into a bumpy lawn. What Mother Nature does in the fall/winter is drop leaves as a mulch. Mulch provides a blanket to keep the soil moisture level and temperature relatively moderated (compared to bare soil). This is ideal for fungal growth, which is what you need more than anything to get healthy soil. It is never too late to apply compost at a rate of 1 cubic yard per 1,000 square feet. If you do that now and make sure the lawn gets at least one inch of water per month until the summer heat hits, that should go a long way toward repairing your soil. You might also apply alfalfa pellets (any time) at a rate of 100-20 pounds per 1,000 square feet. Alfalfa feeds the soil microbes which are critical to making better soil. Have you had your soil tested to know how much lime to use? Also it would help if you added your location to your gardenweb profile so we can know where you live. Zone 6 stretches all across the country but the soil and climate conditions vary considerably from place to place. |

MobileCellMart.com has just received a new shipment of Samsung U640 Convoy for Verizon. These phones are ideal for people or companies that prefer functionality over touchscreens.
A favorite of construction workers and other folks with outdoor jobs, the Samsung Convoy is lightweight at 4.2 ounces. Nearly all black, it has masculine features like industrial looking textured accents.

SHoP Architects have been hired by developer General Growth Properties to design a new master plan for the South Street Seaport, one of the first "festival marketplaces' in the United States and the former location of New York's famed Fulton Fish Market. The charge for the architects is to "redevelop the district and return it to its former glory as a vibrant hub for commerce in Lower Manhattan." The new plan calls for the enclosed mall to be replaced with a pedestrian district, and more than two acres of additional open space. New shops and restaurants, hotels and residential units are planned. The project's signature building is a stunning 42-storey glass and steel lattice clad tower on the East River that is to house a five star hotel and upscale residential units as well as a 3-storey specialty retailer at its base. SHoP's design complements the existing local architecture using elements and materials that evoke the Seaport's maritime heritage. SHoP plan's to explore synergies between the project and the neighboring East River Esplanade and Piers Project, for which it is also the architect.

By LARRY VAUGHT
John Calipari likes his team, but he knows getting back to a Final Four for a third straight year will be hard for Kentucky.
"This is one where it will not be as easy as it looks about figuring out how we play. That will be the challenge of it," he said.
However, don't think that frustrates Calipari as he prepares to put together a new team again.
"That is exciting. People say to me, 'Doesn't it drive you crazy to have a new team?' No, it is exciting. Think about it. You wake up every day and your whole thought is how do I make this better for these guys, how do I figure this stuff out," the UK coach said. "Guys staying with you three years … they don't learn to hate you after one or two (years), but they do after three or four."
Here are some of his other thoughts on the upcoming season.
Question: What impact will being able to work with the players in the summer even on a limited basis make for your team?
Calipari: "There are times when the more information you get, the more confused you are. That's kind of where I am with this group. Some of the questions I had, now I have more questions. One of them being, how much can we play two big guys (Nerlens Noel and Willie Cauley-Stein) together. It's funny, I said to (former UK) coach (Joe) Hall that I have got to talk to you about this two big-guy thing. He said, 'I've got some good stuff for you.' I have got to figure out how to do it or do we play three big guys (together).
"How much does Archie (Goodwin) play the point? If he is at the point, he is a lot like Tyreke Evans. With Alex (Poythress), the question is how close can we get his motor to Michael Kidd-Gilchrist? Can it be in the same ballpark? Will Julius (Mays), who makes shots, be able to do it them in this environment when he is not playing 35 minutes (per game) yet you still have to make shots?
"We are going to play fast. We are going to play the dribble-drive. How we get into the dribble-drive has changed every single year I have been here. We are going to play defense. Will we play some zone this year? I can say yes, and the chances are slim and none. But I have talked about a 2-3 with two big guys on the wings. Then maybe a 3-2 with two bigs down low which means they cover the corners and those two can. Maybe a Kyle (Wiltjer) or Alex in the middle covering the low post. There are different ways we can do it, but we could be longer than last year."
Question: What is the challenge of trying to repeat as national champion with basically a new team ?
Calipari: "We have already talked. That thing is done. None of these guys were even a part of that. We are worried about being best team we can. Does that mean we will be better than last year? Maybe. What does being better than last year mean? That means we can have a really good team and means the team is really close and that means shared sacrifice is the No. 1 thing in the team. But we are not worried. That thing is over and done.
"This is a new team. We don't know literally know how we are going to play yet. That is the disadvantage I said where you have all these teams who know how they are going to play. They have the same teams back and can just touch things up, add a couple of guys to see if they can get better and build on a base. We have no base. Thank goodness we could do some this summer. I don't know if I had a senior team, junior team if I would have liked the summer stuff."
Question: Have you reached out to other coaches who have won a national title for advice?
Calipari: "First of all, you are at Kentucky. You can ask a guy that sat in the (UK coaching) seat. This is a different animal. But I did sit down and talk with (Alabama football coach) Nick Saban. We spent an hour talking about 2010 and what happened in 2011 and now it is 2012 and what are you going to do differently. It was really good stuff that he talked about. The difference is he had really good returning players. He said he had guys on the 2010 team now that are not letting that happen (again). A lot of it is you take your eye off the ball. As a group, you step back.
"We talk about drinking the poison all the time, but this is different here. We have a brand new team. It's not like they won it and how do you guard against complacency? How about we change the whole team and no one was on the team. That's one way to change it. The only thing I can do, which I was that I do, is that I am worried about this team and how good we can be. When we lost six (games) in the league (two years ago) I kept telling all you guys I liked my team and we would be fine. We were losing by a point. We were losing by two points. I liked my team. What ended up happening is that if we played better against Connecticut that day, we would have won the national title. I kept telling you there was no team out there that scares me.
"I don't know enough about the teams coming up. I do know the first two teams (Maryland and Duke) we are playing will give us problems. They have veteran teams that there whole summer has been thinking about Kentucky. Both of those teams. We could go 0-2 and still have a really good team. We don't even know how we are going to play. It will be interesting."
Question: What did winning the national title mean to you?
Calipari: "You think it meant that much to me. It meant more to my fans and my family and the people who want to say that I am this or that or that I am better than this or that guy. But the reality of it is that the only time, and you will think this is crazy, but there was a video we did about the last three years and I watched the video and it kind of touched me like 'Wow.' That would be it.
"But it wasn't that we had won a national title. You kind of forget that play against Mississippi State (in the SEC Tournament). But when I saw it, it just goose bumped me. Or John Wall's first (game-winning) shot. We could have lost that (season-opening game). We shouldn't have won that game. I can't even remember the Stanford stuff (in Cancun). We had no business (winning). If Demarcus (Cousins) had not fouled out, we would not have won the game. He had to foul out for us to win. Then go back to Brandon Knight and we play at Louisville and that is where Josh (Harrellson) has his coming out party and then the shots we made.
"How the heck did we beat North Carolina and Ohio State (in the NCAA Tournament (in 2011))? Tell me how we beat those two. Are you crazy. And then we should have won the national title. Then last year the stuff … so you look back on that in its entirety and just say I don't want to think about that because we have other stuff."

Suspended Frankfort cop facing new criminal charge
BY JANET LUNDQUIST email@example.com May 3, 2013 1:44PM
Donald Walsh
Updated: June 6, 2013 6:56AM
A Frankfort police officer accused of beating up his ex-girlfriend was indicted on an additional charge of burglary this week.
Donald Walsh initially was charged with domestic battery and aggravated domestic battery in July after Mokena police arrested him for allegedly beating his ex-girlfriend at her home. A Will County grand jury indicted Walsh this week on a residential burglary charge as well as the battery charges.
Special Prosecutor Dave Neal said he added the burglary charge not because Walsh took anything from his ex-girlfriend's home, but because Walsh allegedly entered the home against her wishes on the day of the incident.
Walsh, 29, of Monee, was arrested July 25 by Mokena police, who were called to the woman's house about 3 a.m. by one of her children. Police say the child likely saw Walsh shouting at the victim, demanding to see her cell phone, choking, hitting and head-butting her.
Walsh also pointed a gun at his head and put the gun in his mouth, police said.
Walsh has denied attacking his ex-girlfriend or threatening himself with the gun. His attorney, Steven Haney, declined to comment on the new charge Friday.
Walsh is on administrative leave without pay.
The village of Frankfort is taking Walsh's ex-girlfriend to court May 13 on a petition to force her to testify against Walsh before the village's police commission. The woman was subpoenaed to testify at Walsh's disciplinary hearing in October but refused to answer questions about the incident once she took the stand, saying, "I plead the Fifth," court records show.
Even though the lawyers for the village and commission told her she had to testify, that she was not in a criminal proceeding nor was at risk of incriminating herself — and therefore not protected by the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution — the woman refused to talk, saying she was doing what she felt was best for her children, court records show.

Hello my new friends in the U.S!!! Is it true that I have heard I can use cornmeal in my koi pond to fix a leak? I have had one for a while now and it's driving me insane.I have a raised brick built pond and really do not want to take it apart.What is cornmeal called in the UK? Is it polenta? Many Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't know beans about Koi ponds, but cornmeal is a flour made from what you Brits, for some unfathomable reason, call maize. |
Not unfathomable - "corn" is a derivative of the word "kernel", so it meant, and still means in britain, any kind of grain with kernels. The Colonials naturally applied the word to maize when they came to the east coast of north america. For many years it was always referred to as "Indian corn", to distinguish from the corn (wheat, rye, barley) brought from europe. |
Polenta is coarse ground corn meal. You can Google 'corn meal in England'. I doubt that corn meal really works, but I don't suppose it could hurt either. Is your pond cement lined or does it have a liner. How big is it? |
- Posted by cathyblueeyes none (My Page) on Tue, Apr 15, 14 at 9:41
The pond is lined and is 10ftx8. I read on this web site about the cornmeal fix.Will the koi be upset if I add it? |
I suspect the Koi would find it delectable, but wouldn't it promptly clog the filter? Order "polenta" in a European restaurant, and you will be brought a greasy, ghastly slab of a sort of fried cornbread. |
- Posted by cathyblueeyes none (My Page) on Tue, Apr 15, 14 at 10:21
I have not got a clue to be honest? It was a question in desperation.The other member did not say his was blocked.Looks like more research for me. |
- Posted by albert_135 Sunset 2 or 3 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 15, 14 at 15:38
My mothers uncle, decades ago made a paste of cornmeal and wheat flour and used it for bait fishing for wild carp in a farm pond. Koi are supposed to be carp. I wouldn't be surprised if your koi tried to eat it. |
How about we focus on the leak rather than the cornmeal. Yes, I see a couple of unconvincing and rare posts about cornmeal. Why do you even think you have a leak? Do you have plumbing for a waterfall or a drain or a filter? We have often been able to help with leak detection. |
Carp make good catfish bait. I haven't tried Koi, though. |
I have been ponding for many years and sorry but cornmeal will not fix a leak. Most leaks are found at waterfalls, filters and plumbing connections. If it is a liner issue you can patch it, but the surface of the liner must be made pristine for a patch to hold. |

One Patient's Success Story
Spring 2005
Volume One / Number One
by Ann Conway
I find it surreal that I spent 10 years trying to avoid bringing attention to my body and now here I am talking about it! When I decided to undergo Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band surgery, I had reached the point where my weight was negatively influencing almost every aspect of my life.
I was put on my first diet at age nine and from that day on I though daily about my weight. I was skinny for my senior year thanks to a lovely combination of playing soccer, diet pills and bulimia. It worked pretty well, or so I thought, until I was about 21 and then each year the weight began to creep on. By the time I was 30 I weighed 200 lbs and over the next eight years my weight climbed until I topped the scales at 297 lbs.
After amassing an array of weight-related disorders like high blood pressure, sleep apnea, asthma and shortness of breath, my physician suggested I visit Dr. Ren. I knew very little about weight loss surgery but I was desperate to change so I met with Dr. Ren to discuss my options. In June 2002, I underwent Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band surgery. Almost three years after the operation, the results speak for themselves:
Beginning weight: 297 lbs
Present weight: 152 lbs
Beginning clothing size: 24
Present clothing size: 6/8
Beginning bra size: 55F
Present bra size: 38B
I can't say it was a smooth ride; the food withdrawal over the first six months was brutal at best. I remember, not proudly, calling my sister to tell her I had licked the french-fry pan in desperation! It took a year for me to realize that when you're full, you're full. And eventually the weight loss, while not fast, became constant.
When my sister had the surgery and her weight just poured off, it was frustrating. I was happy for her but I was still fat. Even after a 100-pound weight loss, I was still fat. I learned a lot about myself during that time and realized that I had to change my insides both emotionally and spiritually for this to be successful: If I didn't like myself, weight wouldn't have made any difference. Once I started to respect and like myself and to build up my relationship with God, everything else started to come together.
In reality, the slow weight loss was better for my body. My skin, although loose, was not as excessive as it can be with gastric bypass surgery. I did have to have breast reduction surgery in April 2004. It was my 40th birthday present to myself and it made a huge difference to my appearance. What a joy to be able to buy a bra in any store! In March 2005, I had a tummy tuck and excess skin removal. It's still too soon to see the difference but I'm looking forward to seeing the new me.
Besides the physical changes, there were mental and emotional ones to deal with also. As much as I "prepared" myself, I could not help but be amazed at other people's reactions. While it was nice to get compliments on my appearance, or my hard work, some of the comments I got were shocking. I had a (former) friend say, " I am glad you are thin, I don't like fat people".
But overall, I feel blessed to have had this opportunity. Without it, my life would be so limited. Now I can do things I always wanted to do. Last year I coached my daughter in softball; I can shop anywhere, wear any style. I can sit in a movie theatre and airplane seat comfortably. I don't worry about breaking people's furniture when I sit down. It's a great place to be. I like my body, my life and most of all, I like myself.

Rolling Stones mark 50 years with time very much on their side

Mick Jagger paused during the Nov. 25 London concert by the Rolling Stones and looked at the throng, nearly 20,000 strong.
"It's amazing that we're still doing this, and it's amazing that you're still buying our records and coming to our shows," he said. "Thank you, thank you, thank you."
An understatement as big as his mouth.
Amazing is certainly one superlative for it, on both counts — the band's geriatric activity and its sales. While there's a strong case to be made against the money-grubbing and possibly cynical reality of the latter, any grumbling about the band's mere continued existence is pretentious prattle.
Celebrating 50 years since the first Rolling Stones gig, July 1962 at London's Marquee Club, the iconic band — Jagger (age 69), drummer Charlie Watts (71), guitarists Keith Richards (68) and Ronnie Wood (65) — is performing five special anniversary concerts. Two took place last month in London, and this week they're booked for four shows around New York City: Dec. 8 at Brooklyn's Barclays Center, Dec. 12 at Madison Square Garden for a Hurricane Sandy benefit, and Dec. 13 and 15 at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., the last one airing on pay-per-view. There are two new songs ("Doom and Gloom," "One More Shot") and three new documentaries about the band's heyday ("Muddy Waters & the Rolling Stones Live" on PBS, "Crossfire Hurricane" on HBO, "Charlie Is My Darling" on DVD).
Go ahead, throw Jagger's words back in his face: What a drag it is watching rock 'n' roll get old. They're at the age where they should be shouting, "Hey! You! Get offa my lawn!" How can we "Miss You" if you won't go away?
But I'm here to defend the haughty hags, to offer sympathy for the old devils. I hope they keep coming back — a 60th anniversary, a 75th gala, I want them to sing "100 Years Ago" and mean it. Soldiering on as rock 'n' rollers into their unimagined, unnerving age is their last, great rebellious act.
Spinning their 'Wheels'
I've spilled plenty of ink slagging the Stones, the craggy old dinosaurs. I came of age in the early '80s, hardly an ideal moment to cultivate much respect for the band. My first Stones tour was "Steel Wheels" (I accept your pity), and each outing since — supporting new music or not — has been little more than a victory lap, exiting through the merch stands. Just more boomer cultural imperialism.
To quote Morrissey, my own generation's anti-Jagger: "Have you seen yourself recently? … Get off the stage!"
Of course, the persistence of aging rock icons makes for ready criticism. Rock 'n' roll was created specifically as a young man's game. The original architects fashioned it as music by teens, about teens, for teens. Baby boomers, collectively self-righteous and shortsighted, developed the sounds and styles without thinking of retirement.
So when, say, the Who shows up on yet another "Quadrophenia" tour, with each surviving principal pushing 70 years old, singing lines they penned as pimply punks — "People die … because they're old" ("Helpless Dancer"), "Thank God I ain't old" ("Sea and Sand") or the title track, in which deflowering a young virgin is celebrated with gusto — it's hard to hear the show through the cognitive dissonance or the sound of all that crawling skin.
Last week Fleetwood Mac announced a new tour for 2013. No new music, just the same rote run through the nearly 40-year-old hits. I'm a rabid Lindsey Buckingham fan, but even my reaction was, "Really? Good God, why?"
Easy answer in all cases: the moolah. According to Billboard, the Stones will earn more than $30 million from these reunion concerts, with tickets starting at $95 and soaring to $1,500. The band's last full-length tour, for "A Bigger Bang" in 2005, sold 4.6 million tickets and earned $558 million. That's for four guys and a few support staffs in a few months' work.
"You don't start to play your guitar thinking you're going to be running an organization that will maybe generate millions," guitarist Keith Richards told Fortune magazine a decade ago.
Not just money matters
But the money might be too easy an answer. As of April, according to London's Sunday Times, former economics student Sir Michael Philip "Mick" Jagger has a net worth of $300 million. He can pay his bills.
Call me naïve (join the chorus), but I reject the cynicism that rock's elders continue roaming our interstates purely to collect the nostalgia tax. Granted, the Stones, of all bands, have never been ashamed of making money — they broke the mold at music's mint — but pop music is not a utopian enterprise, regardless of how many Marxist critiques have been made. Money and its corrupting influence is inextricable from its production and consumption, but the original motivations that Richards alludes to in that throwaway quotation — the things that caused him to start playing guitar — remain somewhere in the mix, however sullied or subsumed. (For the full treatise on ever-changing motives, read Richards' illuminating biography, "Life.")
Jagger defended the moderation of age recently in the New York Times: "When you're at the beginning of your career, you're in the band 24 hours a day. But as you get older you don't want to be doing that. I think the band is fine being in the band, and the band rather likes not being in the band, too. That's a good balance."
We tend to assume that the aspiration for wealth is driven by the desire to stop working once that wealth is acquired. But most of us don't truly seek to stop working, we just want to do our own work instead of someone else's. Hand me the Powerball winnings today, I'll still be writing tomorrow. I just won't have to witness the Who again.
Besides, a world in which a gaudy talent like Jagger just chucks it and spends his final 30 years puttering quietly behind a garden wall is not a world for me.
Still creating, irritating
The trick is to keep the creative pilot light lit amid that rarified air. Another stadium-rocking guitarist, Noel Gallagher from Oasis, recently reflected on the danger of obtaining in one's 30s everything dreamed of as a teen.
"You start a rock band and the goal is to play stadiums. You get there, and you're stuck there," he told me in October. "Any movement from that point is considered a failure. You don't get to say, 'We need to f--- this off and go back to playing clubs,' because you just can't. It's a trap — an enjoyable one, but it puts an unnecessary ceiling on creativity."
The new Stones songs — meh. Not superb, but not at all horrible. Richards' riffs and Jagger's yawps don't break the well-tilled ground, but they're snaky and fun and show a band at least still engaged enough to enter a studio and think of something newish. That alone puts them miles ahead of the Who, Fleetwood Mac and dozens of peers who keep coming back bearing only remastered reissues.
But more importantly, the Stones are still a bone of cultural contention. They still manage to irritate all the right people. What other boomer act still staggering through the world's concert venues is the focus of any argument that's not purely academic?
Rock 'n' roll started as a divisive means to scare the bejesus out of old folks. Why can't old rockers flip the script? Look at the 21st-century Stones as something to cheer (right on, let's rock right into our graves!) or something to fear (yegods, even retirement won't be free of this racket). Either way, Jagger still has enough panache to inspire the Maroon 5 song "Moves Like Jagger," and frankly I can't imagine a stiffer, stickier middle finger to pop culture's inherent ageism than to watch googly-eyed Keef grind out riffs into his 70s and beyond.
It's 2012, and the Rolling Stones sold out a 20,000-seat arena, twice. Clearly, they still have something people want to see. Anyone on the sidelines kvetching about their sell-by date — that iconic tongue is sticking out directly at you.

Gear Review
I tried these on in a store recently, the inside is very soft and warm, probably best to wear if you have liners to wear under them if you're planning to snowboard all day. I liked them myself but was low on cash or I would have replaced my Grenade graffiti gloves with these
I like the gloves, but they're not completely waterproof. I was outside getting ice off my car and my hands were a little damp when I took the gloves off. Other than that, I liked them.

Federal Money Could Have Paid Settlements
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- An official of the Iowa Department of Administrative Services says federal money could have been used to pay money to former state employees to keep quiet about settlement agreements.
Lon Anderson, Chief Deputy Director of the DAS, appeared before the Government Oversight Committee to answer questions about the Legislature's deepening investigation into the agreements.
Democrats allege money may have been misappropriated to pay laid off workers for silence.
Anderson says in some cases money would have come from fees other government agencies pay DAS for services and it's impossible to know where that money came from.
Sen. Matt McCoy says if federal money was used it could jeopardize Iowa's ability to seek federal money or the keep money it has already been given.

Yes, they are my version of talavera tiles from Mexico. The real ones aren't frost-proof, as I would need here in Missouri. I used patio paint and I think they will last for many years. I wanted to do something different for the porch. |
Love the screen used as a trellis and I also love those tiles, they look really awesome and Is your front door painted purple, It is the most beautiful color! I would love to see a pic of whole front of house to see how it all blends.......Just Beautiful........ Brenda |

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Stephen Curry scored 24 points and dished out nine assists, and the Golden State Warriors forced a decisive Game 7 by outlasting the Los Angeles Clippers 100-99 Thursday night.
Andre Iguodala added 15 points and Draymond Green had 14 points and 14 rebounds for the Warriors, handing Los Angeles one more obstacle to overcome in a week full of them after Clippers owner Donald Sterling earned a lifetime ban from the NBA for his racist remarks.
The Warriors limited big men Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan even after center Jermaine O'Neal left with a sprained right knee in the second quarter. The Clippers simply ran out of time in the closing minute, missing three shots before Matt Barnes made a 3-pointer with 1.1 seconds to play.
Game 7 is Saturday in Los Angeles.

Pronounced: new-mo-SIS-tis new-MOAN-ya
Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) is a lung infection. It is a form of pneumonia. PCP is caused by a fungus called Pneumocystis jiroveci . This used to be called Pneumocystis carinii .
This infection affects people who have a weakened immune system. It is the most common serious infection among people with AIDS .
PCP can be prevented.
© 2009 Nucleus Medical Art, Inc.
Most scientists believe that P jiroveci is spread in the air. It is not clear if it lives in soil or elsewhere. In healthy people, the fungus can exist in the lungs without causing pneumonia. However, in people who have a weakened immune system, PCP may cause a lung infection.
People who are at increased risk for PCP include those who:
Symptoms of PCP usually develop over the course of a few weeks or months. The main symptoms of PCP are:
See your doctor immediately if you experience these symptoms.
A sample of your sputum is examined under the microscope. Sputum is mucus material from your lungs. It is produced when you cough. Your doctor will collect samples by giving you either:
If you get PCP, your treatment will depend on how serious the infection is. If you have a mild case, you will be given medication in pill form. If you have a severe case, you will probably be treated in the hospital. Medication will be given by IV.
There are several drugs used to treat PCP:
Most of these treatments have side effects. You and your doctor should this into account when considering options.
Even when treatment is given for PCP, the death rate is 15% to 20%. It's best to avoid getting PCP in the first place.
PCP can be prevented. If you are at risk for PCP, your doctor may recommend that you take medicine to prevent getting it. In general, for those with HIV infection, preventing PCP with medication is recommended if your CD4 cell count falls below 200. Other conditions, like having a temperature above 100ËšF that lasts for more than two weeks, or getting a fungal infection in your mouth or throat, are reasons to start preventive therapy.
Some of the same drugs used to treat an infection can be taken regularly to prevent the infection:
If you get PCP once, you are more likely to get it again. Each time you get it, it causes damage to your lungs. Your body can suffer side effects from the drugs.
You may have heard of a pneumonia vaccine . This only protects you from a different kind of pneumonia. It will not prevent you from getting PCP. Quitting smoking can also help you avoid getting PCP.
