'Safe'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Teppy, did you get that new IBS med? Is it helping?
Humana approved it and the assistance program made the copay $0 (which is amazing, because the copay WITH my insurance would have been around $300), and I picked it up from the CVS before we left for vacation, but I decided to wait until we got home to start it, because if I have a weird reaction (we're talking about ME, after all), I'd rather be near my own doctor.
So I'll start it Sunday -- it's a 14-day course. Fingers crossed!
I am going to call a differnt dentist tomorrow. I was googling and I found one that stated right up front they specialize in people with dental anxiety.
It'll probably be a few months before I can see them.
Steph I hope the IBS meds work miracles for you.
Normal-matabolism~ma to Teppy.
Ooh, and once when I was maybe 8, I was at my grandma's house and her sisters were hanging out smoking indoors (like you did in the day--even though i don't think grandma smoked) and one of them accidentally tried to ash her cig on my hand, thinking it was the ashtray.
I have a scar on one of my eyebrows from an accidental brush with a cigarette. Totally forgot about that, meara.
I wish I had an answer for the self-hate thing myself. I can't imagine talking to my doctor about it either, because I hardly have adoctor. More like an ointment jockey who overbooks three deep and I barely get a sentence out of.(I have barely ever been to a doctor who's any good at all at talking about emotional stuff, ever, anyway)
I'm back from the doctor. She raised my ADs and gave me an anti anxiety med to take at night. Also a few different stomach meds.
Glad you are getting some support for the anxiety and stomach stuff. I hope they kick in quickly.
Me too. Unfortunately, I can't start them tonight. TCG will be in late from his meeting, and then we have to be up early for the funeral tomorrow, so I don't want to take anything that may cause stomach badness or weird sleep tonight.
Well, I almost got to sleep. Then I sneezed and dislocated a rib, and when I stood up to make it easier to get it back in place, I twisted my ankle (because I hadn't put my sleep brace on my ankle, because it had been feeling mostly OK.) Ow. I guess I'm awake for a while longer. Maybe I'll catch some more Pokemon.
