update; son stole meds

Sam thats great, glad to know your dr is willing to work with you on this. I wish you nothing but the best of luck on this. If your son is having some issues this can probably get that handled. Hope you got some meds to help you out too. Susie

Again, Sam -- I wish you all good luck.

You're working hard to raise a boy in difficult times. You done good, man!

My daughter has two tiny little girls and is expecting another. She talks to
ME all the time about what she should say to her babies when they get older.
It's scary to hear her talk. I can't offer much advice.

My own DAUGHTER doesn't understand today's youth. I have attained
dinosaur status. She keeps working on the issue. In that way, she's like
her own mom.

Keep going. Keep working. You haven't stumbled across a problem that
has an easy solution.

Sam, great news! I think your doc has it right and hopefully this will nip it in the bud about your son either using or wanting to use drugs.  The sooner it can be addressed the better.  Good luck to you both!

 

Melissa

Best of luck to you both!!!

Good deal!

Best of luck and more to come.

I, for one, appreciate what you went thru to see your son to a good outcome.

You a good man, Sam Brown.

I have to add.. BRAVO!!! I also have a son who is about to turn 20 he is VERY difficult to raise on many levels. I have been in your shoes. You have done what I would of done. Hopefully the steps you will be taking with you son will work out. I promise it will bring you closer.... Understanding on both sides.

My prayers are with your family

That is great news! I wish with my son I would have had a little foresight to take him along with me to one of my appts. He probably would have understood a little more. Thank god he has passed that phase of his life and is now settling down for a change.

Hugsss and I hope that all goes well.

Wait, I wanna get some popcorn!

56 years old, Surgury, Radical Prostatectomy 8/20/03, PSA 6.6, Gleason 3 + 3 = 6, Adenocarcinoma extent (moderate) Stage & Margin:T2NOMX, No Metastases, Organ Confined, bone scan: Neg. 3 1/2 years of depression after surgery prior to Hypogonadizm DX, Testosterone Theropy> new 2/6/09> 400mg injections every 2weeks . 56 and so glad to still be here to see my two sons grow up to be fine young men. They are both serving in the US Navy, one on the aircraft carrier USS John Stennis in port in Japan and the other on a Gator Freighter USS Bataan stationed in Norfolk, Va. I am one proud PaPa! 

To be clear, my 'popcorn' comment was directed at the misspelling by uniquelyme.

I have no interest in soap operas, on television or on here.

But I will reiterate that I believe you are heading in a very good direction with your son. It took a lot of courage, and I think you'll be using more courage in the days to come.

I'll admit that I was completely wrong in my assessment of where you were headed, and I am so very glad that I was wrong.

To your success, Sam! All the best!

I bumped up Hello Kitty's post about this issue. Please refer to that.

Sam,
There are a couple of threads that deal with this topic I think if you do a search, or even better go to the fda.gov website, you'll find the most accurate answer. My cousin is a pharmacist and told me one of the companies was shut down completely. For other companies, they have had to stop making certain meds. Someone here posted excellent information on one of those threads (probably not very old - check the last several pages of topics).

I know i was one of the ones who came down on your pretty hard in your earlier thread. To be honest, I still don't regret anything I said. I am glad you are getting help for your son, and I hope you both get the help you need. That's all I'm going to say on that issue.

PaLady
p.s. the thread by HelloKitty that Frances2008 bumped up is the one I was referring to. Thanks, Frances!

Sam ...

You're still with it, man.

You've faced the fire. You're working on it. Now, it's enough already. Huh?

Keep on your brave face and be aware of all the people who wish you well
and care deeply for you in this time of your need & pain.

We're just little pixels. Little light beams. Cyberspace is a strange land.

Pamela

What are pixels anyways? It sounded good in the moment.

Tony,

Ooooph #10? I hate that. I say it again.

By the way, I got the "joke" I laughed.

I hope everyone got a giggle ~

I hope YOU don't have to face the fire cuz
of a typo.

Good saying on Sam's post, Tony.

Pamela
