My Doc renewed my Xanax for another month today

you have gone through two months of pills in a month?

Mac you need to watch those pills and not become dependent on them.

Naw, she only gave me a month's worth the first time too - 60 pills for one month

OK, you just be careful about taking drugs. I have found that diet can take the place of drugs and it tastes better.

It's been cooler here thank gawd. I'm still stuck with Shingles. Anybody know how long it's supposed to last. I think it has been about ten weeks so far.

Have you been prescribed any anti-virals? They do help. But shingles can be very persistent. work on getting stress levels down - that aggravates them.

As I understand them about a month, so 2.5 months is way over the time. See your doctor.

PS sure glad I got the shingle shot.

Three months would still be within the normal range. You should certainly be seeing your doctor about it, but you're only at the high end of normal....

I see my Dr on Monday. I'll ask her about Valtrex or other anti-vitals.

My doc gave me a five day supply, three a day, of Valtrex.

I've taken the Valtrex for almost two days now and notice no difference. Then again, it's only been two days - Heheheheh

I needed groceries that would not fit in my cart or on the bus so I took a cab to there grocery store. When we arrived back at my apartment, as I was getting out of the cab I lost my balance and the pavement. See, dammit I'm getting old. The only damage is a skinned right elbow and my pride. Heheheh

Even though I'm almost as old as River, at least I don't have to contend with volcanos.

I awoke this morning with a panic attack but overcame it without taking a Xanax. I walked a few blocks and grabbed a cheap breakfast. When I got back home the symptoms had passed

Natural remedies are often better. But, was it the walk, the cheap breakfast, or both?

Maybe both. Five hours later another panic attack with greater intensity and I had to take a Xanax for that one.

I was having breathing problems tonight. Both nostrils were clogged. I walked over to the ER where they tested by BP and my sugar. Frightfully, my blood sugar was 387. They gave two IV's of saline and insulin which brought my blood sugar down to 140. THey also gave me two syringes to squirt saline up each nostril. THey also gave me an Rx for Flonase. It took 6.5 hours. Hospitals are boring.

I just now squirted the saline up both nostrils: it seems to unclog both a little

I live in the garage that became the apartment. The front house had two residents. The landlord rented to a hyper black dude = big mistake. This new guy, Levante, pissed all over the bathroom, kicked in the doors and tried to set the house on fire. The landlord threw him out, changed the locks and called the police.

Last night Levante tried toy break in the house by tearing away the screen door and breaking the glass on the door. I just told the landlord and the police.

Did he leave stuff behind and thought he could break in and get it?

Sounds like that guy needs a new home, one with an address that will not change for a year or two, with a skylight or...

Now you take care my friend,

Last Tuesday I walked the three blocks to my doctor appointment. When I told her nurse I was there she said I had been switched to a new health plan called IEHP and had to see a different doctor ten miles away.

I was hopping mad. I like my doctor, Tamseela Awan. When I got home I called IEHP and gave them my two cents worth. The guy I spoke with was very polite and said, "give us a day to do the paperwork and you can have Awan as your primary doctor again." I was happy again.

I see Dr. Awan tomorrow to hopefully get new sleeping pills.

I needed new reading glasses so I made an appointment with an eye clinic one block from me. They gave me a lengthly eye exam and told me my glasses would be ready in two or three weeks. It's been two weeks and I'm anxious. The price was right. For the exam, new glasses and frames it cost me -0- - My insurance paid for it all

I picked up my new glasses. They are better than my old ones but I still have trouble seeing the screen. The optometrist wants me to measure the distance from my eyes to the computer screen and they'll order me some trifocals.

I finally have the trifocals and I can see my screen much better now.

On a different note, my computer was infected with ad-ware but EunuKen helped me by installing an anti-adware program. Now my computer is both ad-free and faster.

Malware bytes works wonders. I run it frequently

I called my landlord and demanded that he remove my swamp cooler and install refrigerated AC. I told him I couldn't survive many more hot days. It was 93 F. yesterday and my apartment felt like an oven. I even told him I'd split the cost with him. If he doesn't do it soon I'll pay for it all myself. I guess 93 degree heat and 68 year olds don't go together.

Even the *&%$#@ Swamp Cooler died today. I re

I cannot live without AC. I also said I'm refusing to pay my rent until the AC is in.
