Don't vote for the lesser of 2 evils and waste yor vote- Vote for Johnson--- Now I will shut up and get out of your face I said what I wanted---

GoodRX---I explained my problem with GoodRX, so the doctors had nurses call in and ask about Librax and a few other meds. The pharmacies said they had it. The nurses lied and said they'd be there in 20 minutes to get it. Then they were told a med would take 2 weeks to order. The NM AMA filed a complaint against GoodRX. It makes the doctors feel helpless. Older Dermatology meds have been removed from the market too.

Geekling, Big Pharma is a scam- the FDA provides the smoke--and Pharma has lots of mirrors. I really hate the FDA--a president with gumption and a little bit of concern would replace the head of the FDA and tell them to get their act together.

I'm a Bern-ie---

Casino----I'm laughing- Monday night we watched a cafe being robbed with a big 12 gauge shotgun. people just kept eating- they glannched up and ate more.

Then I watched a show about the murder of a college professor. The murder carried a huge-giant hunting bow, Put the arrow in while the professor screamed-- No, No-and everyone kept taking lecture note. Then the murderer somehow did the impossible, and turned the bow around and killed himself by arrow.

I guess they used the lecture notes to recreate this.

I was at a gas station when it was robbed. I was pumping gas, the cops were pumping gas into their police car-- This guy comes out, got in a car, and drove off. The poor clerk came out and thought that somehow we would have known a robbery was going on. We thought the car was dark?

Geekling- let me tell you about my appointment today.

I wasn't called last night for confirmation, so I called the oncologist's office. My appointment is Aug 25-not today- not October. It makes me scared to have a morning appt now-- It takes 50 minutes to drive out there at 75 mph, if there aren't any wrecks or construction- -I told you it was out in the boonies.

I write everything down on the calender- Original appt. changed to July---July changed to 8-19-, 8-19 changed to Oct. Oct cancelled. back to 8-19 (I figured that another oncologist would see me). I called this morning and I was told that I was quite mixed up because my appointment is Aug 25. It made me so glad that I have the ENT. So they change things-but why do they have to try to make me look and sound crazy? I know to cover their rears and have the doctor NOT listen to a patient

geekling it is your fb friend from north of the border. Here known as Elephant. I need some advice from you. Is your technology working now? I could message you if it is. hugs,

Wow. Great suggestions. Very appreciative. Yes, I would love alfredo recipe. You are an inspiraton.

Just wanted to point out that Cancer is NOT an epidemic...An Epidemic is a communicable disease that has spread to large portions of the population in a specific area. Cancer is not a communicable disease.

Hi, Carool is a graphic designer that works for an IT company in NYC. She does all sorts of things with commercial computers. She talks about using her iPhone-and that's because she normally uses Bad A** computers at work-she's does more than run a accounting program and she doesn't do data entry. She's probably one of the most tech savy experts around here--She just doesn't want to start giving advice or anything--so she posted this as an Email warning to others. ---Just saying--

Other than that how are you doing? Has this heat been bothering you? Our heat wave broke-It's been a cool 98 the last few days.

I tried to post this in the general question area but it would not go through. It works when it wants to. My question is below

Geekling. I m an iced tea acholic so looked up recipes for lemongrass tea and they all have sugar in them. Does the ginger sweeten it up a little bit? I only put 2 teaspoons sugar in 1.5 liter of my green tea so do not like it very sweet but needs something. Lorie

Flouride----We paid for a flouride water test in our village in Western NM. It was very high-almost to the point of poisoning. Everyone had good teeth. The federal government started the school flouride test. The children began having rotten teeth. The only kids with good teeth went to Catholic schools, as they didn't have to do what the feds said--Thank you NIH and CDC. Last summer- the FEDS finally admitted that they ruined the teeth of young children in the South West and much of the High Plains.

Parents began keeping their children home on flouride days. The tribes were able to stop this poisoning-but not the Spanish and Whites. The school district be a NAZI like persecution- stopping medicaid- WICC- grades, etc.

Hi. Have you heard anything from or about TXHills? It's been a month since I've seen anything.

Geekling--You said something about someday getting an automated message----"You meyati-have cancer-Call your doctor immediately.

Prtoblem is that I read complaints by doctors last week that they get automated-robot calls-while driving. The messages run from the labs for Garcia 123 Bun-Creatine are in-Smith ABC has cancer- Garsinski 567 still has high blood pressure-- Mrs Garsinskis BP is 160/90, Jack-Jack has normal glucose.

Doctors answer because these have the same caller ID as-- Patient Little Garsinsky was run over by a car that was speeding down the sidewalk with a Chipanzee driving it. Little Garsinski's ER surgeon needs you there now. The scan showed a parakeet in Little Gasinski's stomach-- note little Garsinski is not a cat-but a 12 year-old boy.

Labs, imaging and hospitals have to notify a doctor about a lab-scan in 24 hours, so the lab-hospital-imaging will not-be in violation of federal law. That the doctor-lab-hospital will be paid the full amount for the notification and original lab fee. And dig this--To get compliance-the governing regulations will publically disclose any violation so the patient can sue.

It also violates patient confidentiality if some desk bound slave did "Inbox triage" to find the pearl in the onslaught of garbage. Boy-did the doctors rage about this article- that was written by a surgeon-his breaking point was a very sick patient- he was driving in rush hour freeway, and he gets an automated message that his surgery patient with high blood pressure had her BP drop 10 points. he was trying not to hit somebody- while his automatic trainning had him wondering if the hospitalized patient was bleeding internally or the BP med was working properly.

Some doctors refuse to answer, which puts them in a fight-some doctors answer and hang up. Some will only do this at the end of their work day-- which is probably why they don't seem concerned.

You nailed it, but you had the wrong person answering the phone.

Happy Birthday, to you!! I can't get into FB. It says that my PC is infected. I won't run their debug program, as the chatter is that #1---it still won't let you connect to FB, and #2, it messes up your PC software. I had my PC cleaned up, and FB still won't let me in. Oh well, I spend more time insulting all of you. But I did get the notice of your birthday.

Happy and healthy mirthday, geekling! I wrote on Meyati's wall and saw her post to you.

Happy birthday I hope this year is a great one.

That used to be very cheap when the company that owned it previously had five ships and we're trying to book them all. The kids in Miami ran that business into the ground in one ship was salvaged and trying to make a comeback.

Oops thanks for posting your fun on Memorial day though. you got me reminiscing and feeling really good in spite of some bad news lately.

It is Elephant again. I read your post re B12 injections.I have taken Cyanocobalamin since 1987 following my ist. bowel resection for Crohn's. Yikes now I read it contains poison. No wonder I have Cancer. Hopefully the one you recommend is available in Canada.
Also I am still interested in the type of Calcium you recommended for maximum absorption.
Many thanks,
Elephant

Hi geekling, it is Elephant. A few days ago I noticed a post you had made re- correct Calcium supplement to prevent bone loss.
With my brain fog I did not write it down. What I am taking is incorrect. I had good news yesterday. My CT scan showed no lesions on my lung. The down side is I have to stay on the anti-Estrogen med. However the alternative would be so much worse. I hope you are well in sunny Florida. Send some sunshine north please. Many thanks re-Calcium. Elephant.

The message I wrote this morning I was in reply to your question about what people are doing for neuropathy. Your new post. This was my third visit with the neurologist. had the nerve conduction last week and he said he was going to coordinate some blood tests with my other Dr to make sure there were no duplications . When the office called to confirm the appointment yesterday i told the receptionist I didn't want to come back for an appointment if all he was going to do was give me an rx for blood work. she call me back and told me he was going to discuss things with me. I got there this morning and all he did was asked me if there'd been any changes I said no and then he handed me a prescription for blood work and I went off. He also put on the report that i had bad balanced and falls . I told him that all I had last year was one fall on a painted garage floor with shoes that were 10 years old and had no tread left on them in the dark and in the rain and ask him to remove that because one fall in probably 40 or 50 years does not count . Thanks to you I'll stick up for myself more.
Let me know if you find out anything about neuropathy. I'm going to post and see how many visits it takes some people to get a diagnosis.

Hi again geekling, I just read your profile. How are you doing now? You certainly were not treated well. I just read your comment about Calcium absorption. Having blood work on Mon. I will check my results. You are a book of knowledge. Take care, be well. Elephant

Tried to post the regular way but it would not go through. Seeing my neurologist this morning for the third time and hoping to get some answers

Hi geekling..where can I buy the Phoenix oil?

You don't need surgery, you don't take chemo. you don't have any diet, you don't have to give yourself shots or slash your fingers, you don't need to carry candy bars. Your kidneys and liver don't get ruined from the thyriod pills like with Tylenol and Nexium. If you go in for aches, pain, eye problems-whatever, and your thyriod is in range-OK, you definately know that something else is wrong like anemia, high BP, cancer somewhere, pulled the muscles in the back, have allergies, the flu.

Hypothyriodism is a pretty nice condition, if a doctor will run a thyriod test, and figure out how to follow the labs orders. If I lived in Mexico, I could have got my thyriod in range years ago. All I needed was a doctor smart enough to realise that when a lab says the patient is out of range-too much thyriod in the system-all they had to do was reduce my dailey dosage. I had 5 idiots that wanted me to take BP meds.

It requires one TSH a year-like an eye exam. It's that simple.

Hi Geekling. Good to hear from you. Thanks for the good words. I am shooting for October for the cryosurgery. When they found the RCC in my kidney, they also found two lesions on my pancreas. I have been having chronic low blood sugar for two years now and it has become life threatening now.
I have been diagnosed with an endocrine tumor called an insulinoma, which secretes too much insulin causing severe low blood sugar. I am having my 3rd Endoscopic Ultrasound w/biopsy this month to verify that one of the lesions is the insulinoma and whether it is cancerous.They are testing the other lesion for cancer also. This situation is more pressing than the RCC, so surgery is next. My prostate cancer is 16 months gone. Some daylight in the gloom. I wish you a long life good health.
Jim.

Can you drink them cold? If not 4 cups of hot tea in Florida over the summer would be hard for me to keep up with

Tx. You help many other people too so remember there are lots more reasons to feel good about yourself. I love chicken soup what's different about this one?

I think that it is horrendous- and most doctors and economists also think the same thing. Yesterday I signed a petition- a man had a heart attack, and he was airlifted to another hospital that was 15 minutes away by air. The charge; $45,000. The insurance paid $9,000, and the air ambulance is taking their home away from them.

It stinks Geekling. California took our home from us to pay the state for cancer medical care.

I saw in your comment that radiation affected your teeth. I did not have radiation but the chemo has caused my teeth and fillings to break. I will admit I didn't have the best teeth to begin with... but it is ridiculous how frequently I am at the dentist with something broken!!!!
