Some Medicines
Affect Appetite
Medicines can decrease appe­
tite. This may be due to the nausea
that occurs after the medicine is
taken f or example, some cancer
medicines such as azuthiopurine,
busulfun, and fluorouracil can
cause extreme nausea and vomit­
ing. Other m edicines may be
needed to overcome this nausea.
Several medicines are capable
of decreasing taste sensitivity
which may decrease food intake.
Such medicines include aspirin,
ampicillin, levodopa (a medicine
for Parkinson’s disease), and the
seizure medicine phenytoin. Some
persons have experienced a metal­
lic taste in the mouth when taking
allopurinol (a gout medicine),
lithium, and some medicines used
to treat tuberculosis. A salty taste
has been reported by some after
taking enalapril and captopril
(blood pressure medicines) and
dipyridamole (a blood thinner).
Certain medicines can improve
the appetite which may result in
overeating and possible weight
gain. Such medicines include some
tricyclic antidepressant m edi­
cines, lithium, phenothiazine-type
tranquilizers, some antihistamines.
and prednisone. An article pub­
lished recently in the Journal o f
American Geriatrics Society re­
ported improved appetite in a sig­
nificant number of older persons
taking amantadine. This medicine
is used to treat Parkinson’s disease
and sometimes as a preventative
measure against influenza.

Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class
Shaw n M. H am srecently
returned from a six month
deployment to the Mediterra­
nean Sea and Indian Ocean
with the amphibious assault
ship USS Guam, the lead ship
of the USS Guam Amphibious
Ready Group (ARG).
Hams was one of 4,000
Marines and Sailors who com­
pleted the 30,000 mile voyage
which included duty ott
Bosnia-Herzegovina in the
Adriatic Sea, and being on
stand-by off the eastern tip of
Africa. After traveling from the
Mediterranean Sea through the
Suez Canal and Red Sea into
the Indian Ocean, Hams spent
more than a month off the coast
of Somalia, where the Navy-
Marine Corps team stood ready
to protect and relocate
American citizens if necessary.
The Virginia-based USS Guam
traveled with USS Tortuga,
USS A ustin, USS Harlan
County and the 26th Marine
Expeditionary Unit.
Hams began the deployment
by participating in the 50th an­
niversary of D-Day with visits
to England and France. During
the D-Day commemoration,
USS Guam helped support the
visit of President Bill Clinton
and numerous other govern­
ment and military officials as
well as thousands of World
War II veterans.
Spending 120 days at sea
during the six-month deploy­
ment and participating in both
real world operations and am­
phibious landing exercises with
o th er nations, Hams also
visited Greece, Israel, Italy,
Kenya, Spain and Turkey.
' 'H am s's involvement in the
deployment is an example of
how the Navy-Marine Corps
team is designed to operate
overseas and respond quickly
when needed, " said a news
release. "W hether delivering
humanitarian assistance, cargo,
or troops from the sea, these
highly-trained naval forces pro­
vide a unique crisis-response
option, which can be with­
drawn quickly when no longer
needed."
Hams is the son of Wayne
and Dianna of lone. He joined
the Navy in May 1992.
Happy
1995 !
Chamber Chatter
By C la u d ia H u g h e s , C h a m b e r M a n a g e r
Never, never, never will I
shop out of town two days
before Christmas. After doing
most of our Christmas shopp­
ing locally, there were a few
things on the "Santa please"
list that we couldn't find, so off
to the state across the river we
headed. First stop will not be
mentioned but let's just say it
got the out-of-town shopping
excursion off to a high stress
nostril-steaming start. My first
clue should have been the fact
that there w ere no carts
available, but upon spotting a
plate saver container and tuck­
ing it under my arm I was off
and running. Next stop, Sega-
Genesis games. Now these,
I'm clueless about. With four
different kinds, and no first
hand experience, I was baffled.
Thanks to a kind customer who
had previously pursued the
problem, I found what I need­
ed, only to discover that they
were locked up and had to be
ordered by number via a com­
puter located in an aisle. This
was my second clue that this
w asn't as easy as just taking
something off a shelf, so I
returned the plate saver to the
shelf, found the paper to write
down the code and headed for
the file cabinet section. (Here,
I might add, you are totally on
your own with no sign of
human contact who might be of
service).
As we viewed our choice of
three file cabinets, finally settl­
ing on the one we wanted, a
young man in a suit (who look­
ed about 14) passed by, without
tripping him, I got his attention
to see if we could take the
cabinet. "O h, no, they come in
boxes and need to be put
together; you place your order
at the com puter." So, okay,
I'm not totally computer il­
literate. We move over to the
computer line. After a wait and
subsequent trial and error, the
information is entered only to
have the read-out say, "sorry,
the item you want is out of
stock, would you like number
H2E4L6P?" How do 1 know
unless I go look? My spouse,
who has had just about all the
fun he can stand by now, is
posted as sentinel at the com­
puter so no one can take the
spot while I go look. Upon my
return the screen has gone
blank and entries must be
re-entered.
At long last we are in line to
pick up our order. I knew we
were in trouble when the plate
saver which started the whole
thing turned out to be a crystal
saver (plate savers are round;
this was twice the size and
retangular. So maybe I gave
them the wrong number.) No,
it was their mistake. By now
the steam is coming out of my
ears and my spouse is trying to
sneak away, not to be seen in
my com pany. I read my
Christmas cards, I count the
people in line; I don't talk to
them because they, too, would
be unnerved by actual human
contact in the store; I wait and
wait and wait. Your order is
up, says a voice. At this point,
I come unglued. Is it a plate
saver? No, it's not round
either; it's for platters. At this
point, my husband was ready
to file; the clerk thought I was
a crabby old lady; and the
customers were giving me a
wide berth. The little guy in the
suit approached, asked if I had
a problem and got me my
round plate savers, which by
then I wanted to throw in any
direction. Then, we couldn't
find the car but that's another
story.
Moral: Shop at home and the
season as well as your spouse
will be jollier. Happy New
Year.
