Mornin peoples! It's 2:30am and I am fending off a NASTY round of panic attacks. I think it's time for an uppage in dose, or a whole new pill. I can't handle this mess! My heartburn has come back too. I'm not sure if that's related to my PMS gorging, or if it's stress related.


I just want to sleep! Is that so much to ask?!??!?

Go to sleep, you'll wake up.  There...did that work?

I woke up at 2:00....went to bed at 11:00....not afraid I'll die, I just can never sleep.  It blows.

Glad you got a good GM coming!

Katie - I used to get death fear induced panic attacks and no you arent stupid. It is a geniune fear but i no longer get them. I went to see a mental health Dr. He was really good and taught me breathing exercises and how to de-stress . I was prescribed some "happy Pills" but i didnt take them as i felt even less in control of the situation. The thing that really stopped my panic attacks was when i started working at a funeral home. It may sound strange but working with dead people made me face my fear and I realised that I wasnt scared anymore. I looked at it this way. The dead people werent there anymore, our bodies are like a suitcase that carries us around and its that suitcase that has stopped working ,the soul of the person was still very much alive and wouldnt die. Well that was my theory but working with death everyday definetly made me look at my fear head on.........Not saying that you should change your job

Take care

Katie, remember to slow your breathing down, you can do it, it just takes some conscious thought. Then remember to tell yourself that those fears of dying are not real, they are just fear and they are trying to scare you. In reality you are a young woman who doesn't have anything terminal and is perfectly unlikely to die while she sleeps. Then take steps to get yourself to bed and talk your way through each one, girl. 

Katie I am sorry you had a crappy night.  I hate when that happens.

*sprinkling sleep dust on Katie*

My night was just weird.  Gonna shoot my daughter lol.  She is 14 the one I am talking about.  We watched the singing bee together.  The darn song I can't stand (think it's more the woman's voice not the song it'self) came on.  She thought it would be funny to download it and play it all night.  I woke up at least 4 times with that song stuck in my head.  She went to school singing it.  So now time for me to download an older song she can't stand and pay backs.  LOL

Just got the kids on the bus.  In a bit gonna go watch SUV the new one I recorded.  I like to record then I can FFW past all the commercials.

Katie...I am so very sorry that you are having panic attacks.  I have hated everyone that I have ever gotten.  I am so sorry.  Cordy's right slow that breathing down, and just remember how wonderful your life is and that you do not have to be affraid of dying.  You will be here much longer than any of us. 

Robin...I hate when I get a song stuck in my head.  SVU was very good last night...a little freaky and you had to follow it, but good.

Cordy...how are you my dear friend?

Hawkeye...sorry about the cats...my dog does the same, but I think it has more to do with how I am sleeping.  If I sleep well, they never wake me up, but if I am in pain...yep, I get woke up.  I wish they would let me sleep through the pain. 

INFUSION DAY today!!! YIPPPEE!!!  I am going to force myself to the Kohls grand opening this am.  I usually HATE grand openings, but I have to get some Christmas shopping done.  Then off to Colorado for my infusion at 11:45!!!!

Good luck Shelly. 

Just watched SVU and like you said it was pretty good.

Well, it's morning now and I trust that katie will open her eyes and realize she is still in the land of the living!  YAY

I called my daughter out of school for this morning because we are going to go to the mall to get her homecomeing dress.  We went a couple of weeks ago and there were so many girls crammed into this little shop, a line to the front of the store for the dressing rooms.  I'd say there were about 15 girls in line, each with multiple dresses to try on. And with homecoming dresses, you don't just try it on look in the mirror and take it off.  You have to come out of the room, let everyone look at you and tell you what they think, check yourself out for several minutes and then go back and do it all over again with the next dress.  We didn't have 2 hours to spare that day (as if I ever do to just stand on line) so I decided we'd come back on a school morning when no one is there.  Brilliant of me??  Yes, I think so

Does she have a date?  Eleya was going to go with friends.  She ended up working instead.  I hate crowds!!!! 

Have fun Linncn.  Boy I remember those days.  It will be no time before I am doing it all over again.  Homecoming, prom and spring flings.

Weird when I lived in Ohio the spring flings all the girls at my oldest school wore mostly just regular nice dresses.  Not long gowns.  But I move to KY and my middle one goes to her first spring fling and it's like the prom.  OMG the most beautiful gowns.  All the girls were in gowns and the kind you see in pagents.  The guys in tux's.  Just weird how different places do things.

Shelly, yeah it's pretty fun, I like it too. I am home today with a sick boy.  My little one woke up barking like a seal, but he says he feels fine otherwise.  He does seem more tired and crabby than usual, though.

Sorry to hear about your little boy Jas, those croupy coughs are horrible to listen to. My daughter used to get croup a lot and we found only steam help to ease the cough.You are right the doctors cant do much.

Enjoy your day of cartoons, sounds like fun

WHAT IS HOMECOMING??? I have read alot about it on the board lately.

Pin, Homecoming is a football thing, I think it's the game played after two consecutive away games.  Their's a big dance the following night, and the girls get all dressed up and the boys wear suits and they name the homecoming queen and king.  It's just a big fun night, almost like a mini prom.Robin, how old are your kids?  Do you like living in Ky?  I'm in Mi, which I always say it might as well be Ohio...pretty much the same.  Unless you're more south in Ohio. It starts to get pretty down there.Morning everyone!  I didnt sleep very well either.  The sleep meds did the same thing as Tylenol PM does to me...So I layed in bed till almost 2 before I fell asleep.  ANd I woke up to the stupid ass mouse thinking it was a good idea to ide in the floor fan that we have.  Still tryin to figure out how he got in there.  So its gonna go in the basement till hubby gets home cause I aint touchin it.Sounds like fun for the kids. I hope they have a good time

Had a nice long post and got booted from the net dang it.

Jas sorry to hear about your son.  Hope it isn't serious.

Lin I like KY so far.  Just LOTS of new things to get use to.  I was born and raised in Mich.  Moved to Ohio to help care for an Uncle and stayed for a bit.  Though it was just 3-4 hours away BIG difference.  Horse and buggy town.  :)

My kids are oldest DD 24  Middle DD 14  Baby DS is 6.  Then my GS in 3.

Dont you love how plans can change in the matter of an hour?  So my dad and his gf are going out to Ohio to see my grandma and Kelsay and I are gonna go w/ him.  I was able to change my RD appointment to today at 1pm so that means Im gonna have to call Kelsay in from school. So I wont be around this weekend to raise a ruckus (sp?).  But Im trying to go out as much as I can.  Espically w/ Kelsay. 

Good Morning all,

I slept very well about 10 hours. I needed it because I was sleeping in about 45 minute incraments in DC. I wanna go to homecomming!!!!

Robin, you should be very happy you aren't in MI anymore.  Things are bad here.  You sure have alot of years between oldest and youngest.  It's kinda cool to have a baby after the others are grown, you just have such a better understanding of how quickly it all passes.  I think you make a point to enjoy every second of it.  Their is 9 years between my first and last, I know I have savoured the time with my daughter just for that reason.

Noon Everyone. I think it is going to rain today or it just might be the change of the season messing with me more. Hips ache and now the ache is running all the way from my hip to my knee. Nothing is swelled much today, but that will change if I decide to do housework

Can I go back to bed?

I hungry but not sure what I hungry for.

Linda,

Did you find a dress? I actually like shopping with my wife or daughter. (I know I should turn my MAN card in on the way out!) I enjoy it because it makes them feel special, pretty, and we get to spend some time together. I am not Clinton Kelly but I do have some fashion sense

Abi Kitty does not like for us to be in or on MY bed. I think she thinks it is hers and will not let us on it. If you sit on the bed while she is laying on it she will get up and attack you.

Last night I kinda pissed her off... I sat down on my bed and told her it was my bed and it will never be her bed and she is LUCKY that I even let her lay on my bed when I am not in it. And I kept telling her "It's MY bed, not yours." over and over and over again. Finally she came and popped me in the face with her paw and then jumped off the bed.

Or maybe they just have a taper worm.

Long time ago my brother worked at TJ MAxx.  He used to find dirty underwear in the womens undies bin.  EWWWWWW

Hawkeye? Do you watch M*A*S*H? Is your name after Alan Alda's character?

I remember when I was about 4 I would still be up at night time when MASH and Taxi was on. That was about the time my JRA would start bothering me at night. And I would be crying myself to sleep from the pain.

Ok... Link... I do not want any details as to why your brother was even rummaging thru the lady-roos and able to tell the dirty ones.

 

And dogs are all always hungry.  It's not scooby who's the stoner, it's just shaggy.

Linn we have been back to visit family in Mich and I don't miss it at all.  Especially the place I grew up in.  The bigger town (well bigger compared to here lol) was so run down.  It was so sad.

Yes that is icky with the underwear.  Yuck yuck yuck.

And how can those girls buy a dress then wear it and return it.  I can't imagine ever doing that.

Ok... about your brother. I just for some reason had a vision of a guy going around and smelling the lady-roos after I read your post

Yeah... but poor scooby... he is a 2nd hand smoker. So, he does have the munchies and is a 2nd hand stoner

I graduated from Michigan Center but spent LOADS of time in Jackson.  For a short time I worked at the truckstop in dexter. (but didn't everyone lol).

I guess egg salad sandwich is on the menu for lunch today

Oh... hubby got off work early yesterday and he actually done something around the house! He finished painting the foyer. Yeah... I started the painting in the foyer about 4 months ago, I just painted a piece of one wall... and it has been sitting there unfinished, until yesterday. Hubby cut the grass and then came in and started painting the foyer. I helped a little not much. I mostly just stood for 10 mins in on spot and painted then went and sat down for an hour

Anyways... it is not all nice and green! Nice color if I do not say so myself.

I think hubby is on a finish the painting mode, because next month my brother is to be down. And hubby just thinks it is tacky to have a half painted room, but he did live with a half painted room when we lived in the trailer! Our bedroom was hlaf painted for like 8 years

Have a good one!!

don

Oh nice, Don. Yeah the only time I can spot anything is when it is right in front of me, and then sometimes I cannot even spot them

 

Robin, my son went to school in Jackson, well just outside.  At Spring Arbor.  Do you know it?

I'm not a huge football fan. So yeah, Go MSU.  Or U of M.  don't matter to me.

Joonie, I'm going to have to demand that you remove my brother from your vision.

Does it sound right for a squrriel to say "Oh giblet gravy"? Son is watching Higgly Town Heroes, and the squrriel just said "Oh giblet gravy" and she was not talking about eating it either, she said it because something went wrong.

Isabel and I just returned from a couple hours out shopping.  Fun stuff!  I love shopping for Isabel.  It's so much fun.  So, we got her a Halloween costume.  She'll be a monkey this year.  She picked it out.  And she's running around going " oooh, oooh, oooh" imitating a monkey.  LOL  I got her some nice winter/fall clothes.  And a denim jacket for the inbetween weather.  She's outgrowing all her clothes.  Usually shirts first as the pants for some reason seem to run a bit bigger and longer. 

Katie, sorry to hear you're having trouble with panic attacks.   Hope they're better for you today.

Well, the neighbor girl came over yesterday and watched Isabel for an hour while I did some left over laundry and cleaned my dining room.  I was very impressed with her.  She brought drawing paper, a couple of colored pencils etc.  And Isabel didn't even flinch when she couldn't see me.  I was amazed at how much and how quickly I got things done while Isabel was playing with Jaylee(babysitter).  And when my hour was up and I came back into the living room, Jaylee had cleaned up Isabel's playroom without me asking.  I figured that was pretty good for a 13 yr old on her first babysitting job.

Hope everyone is having a good day.

Steph,

My daughter is big chested, and her bottom half use to be a size smaller than her top half. My son is the same way.

My kids could always wear their clothes for 2 years. Because I would buy them a size or 2 bigger then what they actually wore.

Now, it is hard to do that for daughter as she is sprouting upwards and inbetween sizes. A size 8 is a little tight on her right now, but a size 10 would fall off of her. Even with a belt. She has to wear a belt to school everyday... is is required... she has to wear uniforms to school

 

First Joonie, it isn't right for a squirrel to be saying ANYTHING because he's a squirrel.  But if he's going to be talking even though it's against nature, why not "oh giblet gravy"?  My own mother used to say "oh foot".  I like giblet gravy better.  Not to eat. But I might just add it to my list of things to say today.

Link,

I can totaly see you saying "Oh giblet gravy"

My my use to say "Jiminy Cricket".

Mine said  (Joonie should love this) "Son of a Biscuit Eater" when she was realy pissed. [QUOTE=joonie]

Oh and hawkeye... Abi Kitty.... she has been waking me up at 4am the last few mornings. I finally got to where I was closing my bedroom door, but this morning son woke up around 3am and came to sleep with us and left the door open... yep... at 4am the cat was attacking me while I was sleeping!

Abi Kitty does not like for us to be in or on MY bed. I think she thinks it is hers and will not let us on it. If you sit on the bed while she is laying on it she will get up and attack you.

Last night I kinda pissed her off... I sat down on my bed and told her it was my bed and it will never be her bed and she is LUCKY that I even let her lay on my bed when I am not in it. And I kept telling her "It's MY bed, not yours." over and over and over again. Finally she came and popped me in the face with her paw and then jumped off the bed. Hey Linn yup I have heard of spring arbor.  Didn't really know anyone from there (I don't think).  But have heard of it.  Isn't there a popular college there??Yeah, that's where he went. It's called Spring Arbor University.  Clever, huh?

LOL @ Jay! Yeah, my mom use to say that one too.

Jasmine - now that is a good one Shut the front door. I am usually yelling that because no one knows how to shut a door around here.

My saying for now is "Son of a Crack Whore!" It really helps to release pent up anger and you can draw it out for a long time. I was yelling it everytime son would do something, and hubby would remind me that I was his mommy, and I was calling myself a crack whore. I told hubby that is not even why I was saying it. It just helped to get my pent up pred anger out. Yeah I said it ALOT while on the high doses of pred.

 

Ok... I would just like to state, that I think "we" me & son are on the right track! The last couple of days I have been making son wear under-roos. He has wet himself a few times, but he when he would realize he was getting wet he would stop and take off his wet under-roos and go finish on the potty. Except yesterday he peed everywhere

Well, today... was the day he actually went to the potty and peed and did not even pee in his under-roos!! YAY!!! I think we might be on our way to being diaper FREE!!!!!!

Anyways... just wanted to share my happiness with everyone!

*sings*

Almost diaper free!

Almost diaper FREE!

Almost diaper fREEEEEEEE!!!!

How many of ya'lls cats attack the litter in the litter box? Every time Abi Kitty gets in litter box she will play with the litter. I mean she acts like it moved and it is a bug or something and attacks it.

She is one weird kitty, if you ask me. And hubby he has been telling me for a couple of days now... "You know YOUR cat is pretty funny."

Oh man joonie you gotta kick that litter habbit with her NOW! Pull her out of the box when she's not "doing her business" or you'll end up with a cat (full grown) who kicks the litter across the room for the fun of it. Stupid cats.

Just getting up I hope.

Oh well... going to go sulk in my fading glory of getting son to use the potty.

I bought silicon gel sand, called MiMi. 1 bag is suppose to last in the litter box for a month and you are not suppose to smell anything. We will see. It was for 4lbs. I know a bit pricey, but if it can make me stop changing her litter box so much because I keep smelling it, it will be worth it.

Oh and I have areogate the litter once everyday and get the poo outta the box after she does it. that is what the bag-o-litter said for the best results.

 

No I'm at work right now. Started at 12:30 and I get outa here at 9. Gotta call my momma and have her book me tickets up there for after christmas.

 

YES IM GOING UP THERE. Let's not get into that topic. LOL

 

I haven't had a panic attack today, but I do have good news that has calmed me down somewhat. I got Justin and I an appt with a new PCP, who actually answers their phone. We've been trying (both he and I) to get in touch with our PCP to get his referral faxed over to the GI, and for over a week now NO ONE answers the phone. So I'm done with her, I don't have time to dick around like that, we have health issues that NEED attention. SO hopefully this doc will be good, the receptionist was very bubbly and nice, which makes me have hope!! Our appt is on monday!

Yeah, I know, Jay. Just a little annoyed, but I will get over it. I keep asking him he has to use the potty and he gets attitude with me and say "NO! Now leave me alone!"

 

I am not making excuses Joonie, and when I say we've been calling all week, between Justin and I we were calling up to 20 times a day. Not once. And technically, it's only wednesday so "all week" is a whole 2 and 1/2 days. That's too long to be ignored. So I made an appt with a new doc for my next day off, so that we have plenty of time to take care of everything. (paper work etc)

Joonie all my kittens have played with the litter.  Some rolled in it some tried to eat it.  But as they got biger it stopped.

Do you use the litter that you scoop out with a scooper?  I myself don't like that kind.  I use tidy cat for more than one cat and do scoop from time to time.  But I have more than one litter box.  We use a 25 lb bag a week at least.

well all...I am home finally from the dr.  Hes not changing anything.  Says to take Alieve and a double dose of Benadryl to help me sleep and to take 3 flexerils at night...so im wondering...JAS.....I normally take 2 25 mg of Benadryl so should i take 100 mg? that seems like a whole lot....

Woah I'm no expert but that sounds like a lot to me too!

 

And did he REALLY tell you to take alieve???? Really??? *giggles* Are you supposed to take two and call him in the morning? That does seem like a lot of benadryl.100mg of benadryl will be fine.  I've taken it myself for a severe allergic reaction.  Just make sure that when you take the benadryl and flexeril, you GO TO BED within 20 minutes.  Don't read; don't use the computer; don't eat a snack.  Just brush your teeth and go to bed.

No the 3rd flexeril doesnt knock me out... Meds dont typically put me to sleep less its ALOT of them

Oh so you guys are stuck w/ me this weekend...CHange of plans AGAIN.  My dad just called and said that this weekend isnt a good time to bring Kelsay out cause my Grandma had her Oncologist appointment last week and they are only giving her 3 months.  So yea

Ok thanks Jas....

Katie, it sounds like you're feeling better today.  I hope so.

Shannon, sorry to hear about your grandmother. 

Thanks Steph...Just a forwarning to everyone...Im having a really tough time dealing w/ this so I may be a little B**chy....

[QUOTE=arriscolwell]So what kind of a dose do they give someone in the ER who's having an allergic reaction??????[/QUOTE]

Typically, 50 - 100 mg
Shannon,

I'm sorry hun, you can vent to us anytime and there's always a shoulder here to cry on! We love you!!!

 

Hey, if you can put up with my crap, I can certainly put up with your's!

 

If you can put up with my crap you're a saint!!!!

Hey Gale!!  How's your mom doin?Thanks Katie.. Yea I still have your phone number SO how did she break it Gale?

She fell at the end of her driveway, trying to follow a stray cat. She's actually done remarkbly well considering her age.

Hi Link! Sounds like you've been busy!

Aww she wanted to love on the kitty!! I'd have done the same thing....

Here is my update on the Bannana Nut Bread with Pistachios. I finally made it tonight and it is to die for!

I tried a sour cream chocolate soufle (sp) one time . It took hour of work and it was the nastiest thing I ever put in my mouth. So Yes I am happy this time.

I hate when that happens, Jay.  I'm not one that cooks a lot of things that require lots of preparation but when I do and it tastes nasty, I'm very disappointed.  And when I found this quick and easy mocha chocolate cake recipe, I was sure it wouldn't taste as good as the one that took forever just to get it in the oven.  I was very pleased when it actually tasted good.  And it was for my brother's birthday and he loved it.  Keeps asking me when I'm going to make another one.  LOL

I may have to try it out one day.

I enjoy cooking and do not mind it taking all day for a meal. (It is getting harder to stay on my feet for more than 10-15 min.) Lots of disapointments but a lot of WOW that is goods along the way. Keeping fresh ingredients is one of the hardest things.

OK...this sucks!!!!!!! I took that amount of Benadryl the dr told me and its NOT working.  I feel weird but its not making me tire.........Im gonna call him in the morning..I need to have someting to just relax my muscles and the Flexeril aint cuttin it at all

Hey Shannon,

Sorry you cant get the rest you need. I am here. but not for long hubby wants to computer. I was just coming to check on ya'll and see how Mo'Nana made out at the Dr's. Shannon, I can come knock you over the head if you'd like.  I'm still here just in and out. I have a few chores left.I am researching more about panic attacks. I feel like I'm going in circles though, I just keep reading the same things over and over, and it's all backwards of me.

VERY frustrating. Evening gang! Hope all is well with everyone...Katie, sorry you're having anxiety/panic attacks again. My son just started the EMSAM patch a couple of weeks ago and he's doing really well!Has anyone heard from Mona yet? I'm worried about her! Yeah I posted about what I just found on the other thread. I'm really discouraged tonight. Lemme go read the other thread. I'm sorry Katie! Anxiety sooooo totally sucks. Yeah it really does. I haven't been this excited to see a doctor in a long time. I just cannot deal anymore. I hate to admit to that, but I've actually reached that point. What scares me is that I reached that point a WHOLE lot faster this time around. It was like a tidal wave. If all I need is a up in dose, well that's great but I can't afford it on the lexapro. I'll have to try a new med all together. Boo-hiss!  Do you already have a doctor appointment?Yes ma'am. Monday morning, 9am. I am counting the MINUTES. 

Good for you! I hope he can come up with something.

Christopher's only been on the patch for a few weeks, and fortunately, his doc gave him a month's worth of samples. We still don't know how much it's going to cost, but it's a new drug, so it's surely not going to be cheap. What exactly is it??? It's a monoamine oxidase inhibitor transdermal patch that treats depression and anxiety. He was on Paxil for a while, but it wasn't helping, so he was just recently switched to the Emsam patch. So far, so good. The only problem with it is there are certain dietary/alcohol restrictions while using it.That's really neat. I had no idea they had patches. How long do you wear each patch for? And what are the restrictions?

Were is Mona? I did see her on the SEX thread earlier. I saw Karen around earlier also.

Did you get your laundry finished Gale?

Katie I am sure you will find something that helps you. I hope it is sooner rather than later.  

MAO inhibitors usually require specific dietary restrictions because when combined with certain foods they can cause a sudden, large increase in blood pressure, and a hypertensive crisis can lead to a stroke.

The main foods that need to be avoided are tyramine products, which include cheeses, aged and fermented meats, sausages and salamis, tap beers, or any beer that has not been pasturized. He's on the lowest dose, so he doesn't have to be quite as careful with the restrictions though.

And the patch is changed every 24 hours.

 

 

 

That's where I saw mona posting!!! Little sneak. She goes to the sex thread, but doesn't hit us up here. Sheesh.

I still have laundry to fold. It's all in a big pile on the bed, just waiting for me. Goodie!
Wow thanks Gale! Learn something new every day! I think Joonie must be sick. She is not online and stopped with an odd number for total posts!!!!!!!!!! She is going to FREAK Ut oh...she will definitely freak! LOLLOL Yeah she will!!  You're right Katie, Mona dissed us tonight for a sex thread!Hey Jay, I want your pistachio nut bread recipe! See, after posting that the whole attack seems funny and it goes away. But if I were laying in bed alone, there's no way I could make it disappear that easily. 

 

 I had company you preverts! She just left Hi Mona the girls were just saying the most wonderful things about you. Jay - WHEN you have time, I'd love it if you'd scan it and email it to me! My email address is listed in my profile.

 I know Jay I read them!

Buttermilk! I can't cook without buttermilk. Cornbread, ranch dressing YUM! Hubby drinks it! Gag me with a spoon

  Karen's the one dissing us

Brisen did you watch Private Practice? I loved it.

Katie whats  going on with the sudden panic attacks again?

 

heehheee I cant spell

moana39358.9204976852I was talking to the dear wife earlier and told her I would call her back later. She started pouting about not talking very long with her. It was like half an hour! Thats a long time on the phone for a guy. I called her back like an hour later and she was fine. I may never figure the finer sex out.

 

 Don't even try Jay cause when you do, we change our minds

Same here! A couple of min. and I am done. She is having a hard time being away so I am trying. It was worse when I was working last week and only had about 3-4 min.

Oh well I will be there in the afternoon TODAY we are coming home for the weekend. Now that I see it written is sound almost like an oxymorron (sp).

 

 Bless your heart lil Katydid I

 Jay I've lived this way for years, have a travelling husband. We talk several times a day on the phone and lengthy at night sometimes. You get used to it

 I am so tired. Do you work tomorrow Brisen? Jay?

Trey is driving me nuts again being so whiney

Did you watch Private Practice Brisen? For the second time!

Don't yell at me Mo! 

No, I didn't watch Private Practice, I TIVO'D it.

Yep, I going to try and work tomorrow...depending on how I feel when I get up in the morning. This cooler weather is killin' my joints!

Jay, you still there or did you check out on us???

 Well, pay attention! LOL It was sooo good tonight, I am going to love it.

My sugar was 111 right after eating. How is that?

I'm just a waitin' for the Ambien to kick in, then I'm adiós!111 after eating is good...you need to be taking it when you haven't eaten for a while too.

 

 

 Me too and I haven't even taken mine

Hope your mom does great, it's a wonder the surgery went so well with her being 80 and all. She must be unbelievable. Thats a miracle for  sure!

Thanks Mona! I'm sure she'll be back up on her feet soon!

 

 Your welcome! Pal

Wheres joonie bug? You seen her?

I haven't seen her, but I saw where she posted that her hubby wanted the computer tonight.

I am still here but I was trying to scan that recipe for Gale. I got it to scan each of the 5 times I tried but you could not make out any of the words. It was almost like it scanned to a different font??? I will give it a try from work one day Gale.

I do need to get myself to bed. Lots of chores to do still before I can go play. I may not be back on before Mon so take care girls and try not to fight!

 

AHHHHH my hubby has his own and I have my own. He doesn't use his much on the weekends, too many sports to watch on TV

 Good night Jay and have a great weekend with the wifey

Good night...talk to you next time!

I want my own!

Oh I am here BTW

 I hate a lap top, hubby wanted me to get one for Christmas but I said no thanks, his is enough

Hi joonbug!Mo didn't go to the doctor...she's into self treating.

 Het Joonie

Darn sex thread! I posted, and then deleted it. It was kinda TMI, but not as much TMI I would like to post, but I do not think anyone cares to read that my sex life is not anywhere near as interesting as I would like it to be because my body cannot do what I wish and want it to do.

Don't listen to Gale she is sick too and she didn't go to the Dr

 

 pppfffttt Sex at my age is way over rated

I am glad you are back Joonie I was a little concerned as you can see.

Oh ok... you better be checking them blood sugars often.

I am about the same, but hips have stopped aching, and you would have thought I had been having non-stop sex the way the ole hips were hurting today.

Now it is just my back/neck/shoulders stuff again. It is rainy, well scattered t-storms actually so... I am feeling the effects from the storms moving thru.

I am not sure if we are going to get to go to the fair this Friday, as it is suppose to rain

 

Awww thank you, Jay!

I was looking some things up for hubby and a phone # for my mom to call Friday to see about getting my medical records from the children's hospital where I was DXed with JRA.

I have a lot on my agenda tomorrow. If nothing else gets done, I just need to call and pay my 0 to caremark tomorrow. Then I will feel a little better, but a little sad I had to give away 0 to some jackasses.

Good night again girls it was fun as always.

Jay

Night Jay! Have a good weekend!!

 

awww I hope you get to go.

How is Abikitty? Still on the bed?

My little silly poochie ran out the door a while ago when I was getting groceries out of the car. She NEVER comes back and we have to chase her. Well it was pitch dark past our street light and all I saw was her white feet running away. I can't chase a dog, so I went inside to call hubby and go hysterical and she walked in the door, I couldnt' believe it!

You guys, I'm outta here too. I've got to get to bed so I can TRY and get up in the morning and go to work. Talk to you tomorrow!

Love ya's!

 

oops had a phone call... I'm lost again

Oh did I tell ya'll Wal-Mart SUCKS?! Yeah... they are getting crappier and crappier.

We have been looking for ShakeNBake Extra Crispy, for a little over a month now. We check every time we are in there. And They just FINALLY got some shake N bake in this Monday.

And then!! THEN!! I called in my refills for my darvocet and amitriptylin so I would not have to get them moved when I switch pharmacies. Makes sense to me.

Anyways... I do the automated refill crap and then, it says I can pick up my meds any time after 3pm tomorrow afternoon! I called them in at 11:30am today!! Anyone else see anything wrong with that?!

When I go to pick up my meds tomorrow I am going to get my pred RX PLUS my 50 pred pills they jipped me outta on my 2 other refills. And if I have to make them call my RD to verify I was to get 100 pred pills each time I am going to scream at them!

 

 I'm right behind you guys, good night jay and Brise, love ya, You hanging around Joonie?

 

 Yea I know what ya mean Joonie, everytime I go to Wal-mart they are out of whole shelves of stuff

Gale - yes that was for my humira that was ordeded like back in June and the recent one. I just did not have money to pay them. But since I am fixing to not deal with them anymore I decided to pay them and get that outta the way before I forgot I owed them money.

Have you got approval for the Remicade yet?

Hope you feel better tomorrow, Mo'Nana! I was worried about ya.

Talk to ya tomorrow. and do not worry about freaking if you do not see me online, as my mom will be here in the evening sometime, as she is staying with us so she can watch son for us if we get to go to the fair.

Well, I am hoping they did. I would not think they would schedule me an appt for it if I have not been approved.

I am going to call tomorrow to make sure when my appt is, as I did not write it down and I just cannot remember what time it is because I was soo mad about having to wait soo long!

Goodnight sweetie I

Well let us know if you're approved

 Thanks for worrying about me, and don't worry about the candy corn, it's history[QUOTE=milly]
