  1. This is what worked for me:  From your FB account page, search for Ajijic Gringos.   Click on "Join"   It should then show "pending" and not long after, check the email associated with your FB account & you should see email with a link to another page where you are asked to review their rules and type in whether you agree or not.  Saludos!  

  2. A lot of good points have been made in response to the OP's question. An important point is that any host (the swallower) can be overwhelmed by a large enough population of foreign (to-him/her) bacteria (benign or disease causing) in food or water. If someone has a weakened immune system or simply hasn't traveled much outside their everyday environment, even non-pathogenic organisms in another state or another country can upset the GI system. Anyone who has had relatives from other countries visit in the US or Canada knows that GI upsets are not confined to visitors of Mexico. When traveling, I don't know the condition of the pipes and the purification system, so I brush my teeth with bottled water and keep my mouth closed in the shower. Here at home, I know the condition of our in-house water supply system and we all have vigorous immune systems, so I have no qualms whatsoever and wash my fruits and vegetables without sanitizers. But, someone with a challenged immune system might well be wiser to use the water sanitizer.
  3. Search this board for "sleep" and you will find the contact information for a sleep clinic in GDL and also some suggestions from a physician who is familiar with sleep disorders.
  4. Not sure there are any meds that couldn't foster dependency. The current research on sleep disorders pretty consistently reports that ETOH may help you zonk out, but you will awaken before you have cycled through the beneficial portion of sleep. If you do some online reading on sleep disorders, you may get some ideas about the sort of lifestyle/environment/age factors that affect sleep and some ideas about changes you might try to see if the problem can be solved on your own. However, sleep apnea episodes can cause frequent awakenings and that definitely needs medical intervention. The sleep disorder issue was discussed on one of the boards and I think some physicians in GDL were mentioned. Not sure which board, so will have to do some backtracking.
