'The Message'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
What -t said, Gud. It's definitely ok to just drop in when you can; we'll always be glad to hear from you.
As smonster said a bit up-thread, hugs/fistbumps/other appropriate gestures of affection and esteem for everyone who needs or wants one. Long live Buffista solidarity, dammit.
Well, we haven't had any trouble with Mint. As long as you aren't in a T-mobile dead zone. My office was in a T-mobile dead zone when I got Puretalk. Thinking about switching it to Mint at some point.
In terms of supplements, the best thing I've done for myself is get iron and b-complex patches. I can tell the difference in my energy levels if I forget to stick them on.
We switched from T-Mobile to Mint, because cheaper and basically the same coverage. Or maybe exactly the same coverage? And then T-Mobile bought Mint, so... Mint service has been fine + bonus Ryan Reynolds. I don't know from phones, though.
Cereal: Always good to see you, Gud!
Gud! Lovely seeing your pixles.
supplements
Last year, when I reported leg and arm cramps to my PCP, he had me start taking 400mg of OTC magnesium, and that has helped a lot.
Last month, my nephrologist expressed concern about my ongoing slight anemia and low vitamin D level, so I've doubled my OTC multivitamin (pharmacy brand that duplicates what is in Centrum Silver) and started taking an OTC iron supplement. Next blood draw is the day before Halloween ("All doctors are wampires." -- Pavel Chekov) and I am curious to see if the change has made any difference.
When my doctor was going over my most recent labs (which is when we discovered I have mild anemia), she immediately said, "This means iron supplements, not going and feasting on the villagers".
It's like she knows me or something.
Yeah, I'm slightly anemic, too, so we're trying extra B12, which was low, and folate (though I'm not sure that's related -- it was just low).
My Vit D is abysmal as it is fat metabolized or whatever, and I don't really metabolized fat anymore after losing so much and specific parts of my entrails. Might be going to injections for that.
