As for SSD attorneys "taking a big chunk" -- they are limited by law in what they can charge you. I believe the max was around $5,800 when I used one back in 2002. Most places in the US have a huge...
I've taken Plaquenil (Hydroxychloroquine) for over 15 years and never experienced any side effects! Remember what they list as side effects are the worst things that rarely happen, not the things...
Sjogren's is usually treated by rheumatologists, that's who treats mine. Maybe find the Sjogren's society and contact them to see if they list any doctors in your area. Systemically often treated...
Look up "ergonomics" and make sure your desk, screen, and keyboard are located in the best positions. As a software engineer for 40+ years, I have no such issues as I learned about ergonomics early...
I knew it was a long shot, but thought I'd ask. Happy New Year! aka Lynnwood...
In the past few months I've been diagnosed with bursitis and 2x tendonitis in my right hip, tendonitis and meniscus tear in my left knee, and now tendonitis in my left shoulder. Since I haven't been...
HT, enjoy 2021! We in the US will join you in the new year soon enough. lol...
Yay Pitmom! I should set you to work on the mystery light issue in my car. Auxiliary lights (clock, radio, AC lights) go off when I use the brake. Grounds all good, fuses all good, I find the issue...
Pitmom, Congrats on your AA anniversary!! I have 43 years with AlAnon; my area has a Gay Clubhouse so we do holiday parties and picnics through the year that include AA & AlAnon...I know tons of...
Well, nothing worked for me (insomnia since 1976) until I started taking a rather high dose of Trazodone - 300 mg about 2 hours before bedtime. I awaken refreshed and ready to go, no grogginess,...
SMH. People without symptoms have no idea if they are "healthy" or not -- thus the whole point of wearing a mask....
When my gallbladder had issues I was having attacks of major pain. Don't recall ever hearing about a % of function, but at that point it wouldn't have mattered to me. Like others said, laparoscopic,...
I found this website that might help you figure it out. https://www.finder.com/ie/international-money-transfers/send-money-to-usa ...
I have something similar with a place interior to my knee. Mine is most painful if I try to put weight on it in the morning, I have found that warming it with a heating pad first almost totally...
Apparently the idea of ulcers being caused by steroids has been proven untrue. I've been on steroids many years without any issues. I would expect treatment to be the same as for any ulcer. Here are...
But they ARE having a parade! Just doing it differently. https://www.macys.com/social/parade/...
I'm curious; why are you focused only on pain medication -- instead of trying to address what is CAUSING the trigeminal neuralgia? It can be coming from dental or jaw issues, or from issues with the...
It sounds like you need to see a rheumatologist to get a proper diagnosis and treatment. "Sounds like Lupus" is true of almost anything/everything, since Lupus symptoms are all over the place - no...
So sorry you have trigeminal neuralgia - I had a bout of it that lasted a couple of weeks and understand how painful it can be. Mine began to calm down after I had a chiropractic appointment where an...
Gosh, that does sound like Divine Intervention! I hope it turns out to be everything you are hoping for; I'm sure the routine will lift your spirits. Good deal!...
Hope your trip goes well, HT, that his surgery goes well, and that you get to spend some time talking with your brother. aka Lynnwood...
Sometimes creams soften the surface of the skin and loosen the surface cells, which then scratch off easily when wet. Or creams can purposely cause the top layer of skin to slough off, although...
I suspect you meant to post this in the Lyme forum -- this is the Lupus Forum! :)...
BillyBob, If you search on "billybob vitamin d" there are over 200 results which you can order by date or relevance. Or maybe you did that and couldn't get to the beginning of the 4508 posts....
Note that ALL humans have Adam's Apples. It's just that they become more prominent for men as they go thru puberty. lol...
Nothing else worked for me, I ended up taking a rather large dose of Trazodone - 300 mg. Even then, sometimes I'm awake. Start off with smaller dosages, though, many do well on 50-150 mg....
28 oz of water gave you trouble? Wow. Standard rule of thumb is (body weight in lbs) divided by 2 equals (the number of oz per day) for an adult. Since I'm sure you weight more than 56 lbs, I'm...
I read everyday, but rarely post. However, this long period of isolation has finally gotten to me on a visceral level. This last week I've been waking up with a feeling of dread that I just can't...
Nystantin has always helped when I've gotten thrush, I don't think I've ever been given anything else. Also best to avoid sugary foods, and to brush immediately after eating. Note that thrush is a...
My dad turns 94 in a couple of weeks. He thought he was supposed to take a driving test, but when he went down to do it they said he was fine, and issued him a license that doesn't expire till his...
Um. "Do you use the internet for health information?" Posted on a HEALTH INFORMATION BOARD. Of course, we all must answer YES or we wouldn't be here!!...
Don't ticks generally bite and dig in? So if the tick isn't still there I think you are safe. Different than something like a mosquito that bites and flies off....
So sorry it's come to such a sad place; but you have to take care of yourself first. Gentle hugs and prayers for MIL, that she becomes lucid enough to give someone Medical Power of Attorney if...
The body naturally produces about 5 mg of cortisol - that's what keeps your heart beating, among other things. However, if you have been on 10 mg of prednisone for quite a while the body will cut...
Jamie, So excited for you! I hope your new home and neighborhood turn out to be everything you dreamed of - you deserve the best. Lynnwood...
Vitamin supplementation helped me get my hair back after Cellcept thinned it out rather severely. B12 is what I remember, but there are 3-4 others that are also helpful. Remember that hair tends to...
Don't know if this is general enough an answer to be within the HW rules, but.... Canadian pharmacies I trust. Others I doubt....
Happened back in 1987-88; so that would indeed be a miracle. But I have the same phone number, so who knows?...
I think we all have a purpose in this life, but it is not necessarily something we are aware of or know when we have achieved it. For instance, my purpose may have been to save the life of the...

Yikes!...
Australia doesn't have the same level of disease floating around that the USA does. Interesting article about it here....
I would suggest a visit to a pulmonologist. Pulmonology is a field of medicine that focuses specifically on diagnosing and treating disorders of the respiratory system. You may have acquired some...
Hi, I'm the original poster. I wonder if we can please get back to discussing the topic I asked about?? Has anyone tried any of these new antidepressants? Vilazodone (Viibryd) came out in 2011;...
Trazodone seems to work differently for different people. I take 300 mg nightly and don't have a hangover at all. It's the only thing that lets me sleep all night and feel refreshed in the morning....
Thanks, "Perfect Time" - I've fought my way out of the black hole hundreds of times over the years, with and without medication, but no med ever seems to help in the long run. Every time I fall in...
Friends, I have struggled with depression since I was about 13, some 47 years ago. I've tried a multitude of antidepressants over the years, nothing has ever really made a dent in my depression. The...
Can you put a pile of sandbags beside the end of the driveway so they are close, but wait to actually block the driveway when/if the storm arrives? Maybe that would help you feel better but not freak...
93°F here, feels like an oven out there. Thank goodness I am headed to Maine in the AM. Currently 76°F there, which is still warmer than I was hoping for ... but predicted to be down to 45°F Sunday...
Sometimes if I just do the next step it helps get me to the step after that. For instance, I can't think about going somewhere as a huge thing. Instead I think about putting on my shoes. Once my...
