Hyoscyamine, it's a generic name.

That's the Levbid (or Levsin; again, the multiple names is confusing as shit and I don't know why there's more than one name that's so similar in spelling; it confuses the fuck out of my doctor's office when I call for a refill).

That's the Levbid

I was very happy with it. It worked well until I didn't need it anymore. I still hang on to the last refill, that's a couple of years old, just in case.

But, the gluten-free life is working just as well.

Prilosec mainly works gastric reflux. For some time, I had to take two pills a day to get rid of the "there's a soldering iron in my chest" feeling and the cramping when I lay down. It only took 15 years of doctors and tests for my oncologist(!) to figure that out.

Oh, man, I am just not going to be able to keep up in Natter any more. Oh well.

ita !, you want I should ask StW about the port thing? He should know or be able to find out.

Allyson, oh my lord, I stand with Steph and her righteous fury. Can you get a 2nd opinion/see a GI?

Once in a while they HAVE NO PREFERENCE. You don't care if you are called David or Dave? WTF? WHAT IS YOUR NAME?

I think I told this story in Bitches... my first date off OKC here in NOLA was with a guy who refused to tell me how to pronounce his name. I rattled off six options and he was like, "Yeah, I get called all of those." So you can amuse yourselves imaginging options, it is spelled "Jeme."

it is spelled "Jeme."

Cheh-MAY. With the "ch" like in "challah."

I have slightly weird name things, I guess -- people call me Jess all the time, but I don't like if they say it like it's my name. Basically, friends call me Jess, but I don't like it in a more formal setting.

I think my favorite is "gee-mee."

I'd go for zhu-may, in an exaggerated French accent.

J'aime. Totally.

I had jackfruit today. The guy with the Jamaican guy brought it in. I haven't had it in years and years. We agreed it tasted like fruit. Just like...fruit. Like a smoothie, but solid. It was the fruit of fruits.

I had a student who did that. The first time I hand papers back and call on students by name, I make the best effort I can at pronouncing, and I tell everyone that, if I mispronounce their name, they should please correct me. There was one student with a Chinese name that I knew I pronounced totally wrong, because I had to try three times before he even realized that it was his name I was trying to say. He didn't say anything, though, so I said, "How do you pronounce your name?" and he replied, "You won't be able to say it." I asked again, saying I'd try to get it right, and he just shook his head.
