I will soon be 56 and have not yet medically entered menopause. A few months ago I sought help for the hot flashes and my internist prescribed 75mg of Effexor. It worked alright, it worked great, but the vivid dreams were so disturbing that I stopped taking it after 10 days. I dreamed I was...

My 25 year old son aged off of our medical insurance this summer and we bought an individual policy for him thru Medical Mutual. It has a 2500 deductible and only runs us $130 a month. He graduates from college in a few short weeks and we will continue to carry it until he has it thru an...

When my brother was in county jail in Mississippi, he said that the homeless guys would steal a six pack of beer from a convenient store in order to spend the hot summer months in air conditioning and away from the bugs.

Wow such happy news! Good for you Ratface!

After buying locally raised grass-fed beef I would never go back to grocery store beef. While I am not a tree hugger by any means, I just want to know that the animals I eat were afforded the ability to walk around in the sun and eat what critters naturally eat. I am paying $4.75 a pound for 85%...

My God, how beautiful! Did you take those pictures?

When this is all over for you Ratface, have you got anything fun planned?

How about I'm over 50, not a curmudgeon, but I am married to one".

Thanks for the update Whitestick. It is nice to know you both are enjoying life!

Ratface, do you and DW have something fun planned for when your chemo is over and you are back on your feet?

Just write "Breast Milk" on your lunch bag. It works like Kryptonite.

I'd love to know how Whitestick and his DW, and DLHansen are doing. Hopefully they are all fit as fiddles and too busy to keep us updated. Still, I wonder!:blush:

Nords if they ever catch you doing that you could be labeled a "difficult" patient....just like Elaine and Uncle Leo.:whistling:

I think your wife is getting paid in "karma". What a wonderful feeling it must be to bring a feeling of happiness out in others!

I have every hope that all this unpleasantness is soon over and that it leaves you in a better "place" than before it came. I feel rather funny praying for "Ratface" but I figure the Big Guy knows who you are!! LOL!!

I supported the both of us, and that included the mortgage, for the four years it took my husband to get his advanced degrees so you see I do know what it is to make a mortgage. At least when I was working, my day ended at 5pm. Not so when I was home with kids.

It sure as hell felt like work to me!

My daughter went on antidepressants and I will say they have truly been a Godsend. She said it is like a dark curtain on her life has been pulled back.

We use cash for everything that isn't online pay. The way my brain works, I have to feel the pain of spending cash to maintain a handle on it. And I do really well!

Cycle, did your doc ever offer you a pneumonia shot? Mine gives them but many of my friends have never been offered one. Just curious. Thanks and glad you are feeling better!

Good thoughts in your direction ratface.

I think I've heard of that. Obsessive compulsive follicular proboscis disorder.

I love this forum!

I don't know if this will help you somehow but when I was going thru my medical horror story I would tell myself that there were little children who had not yet lived there lives that were going thru the same thing I was. I told myself that I had not spent a day of my life unloved or uncared...

Ratface this seems like great news! Please come back as soon as you can after surgery and let us know. Praying for you!
