I heard that Remicade is expensive ? I think they offered it to my sister ( she has RA ) but she was not ready to go that route yet. And my Rheumatologist mentioned it to me several years ago, but I don't think my arthritis at this time is bad enough for the Remicade. I had a neighbor here...

I had been taking the generic form of Fosamax ( Alendronate ) but I got lazy and quit taking it for some reason. My Endocrinologist takes care of my Thyroid and my Bones. So I had to confess to her that I had not been taking my Fosamax as she prescribed. She is going to try to get me an...

Do you catch and release............or do you eat them ? Fishing sounds so relaxing. The other day I was thinking how calming and peaceful it would be in the middle of the Coastal Redwood Forest over in California. I visited there once and it was a magical place. :)

My sister and brother-in-law are planning a cross-country trip in July that will take them from Idaho to Wisconsin and back. They will be gone a month visiting relatives and site-seeing along the way. The weather is surely going to be hot along the way and then humid when they enter the Midwest...

I want to know what is going on in the world, but I suffer from anxiety so I have to limit the amount of news that I watch on TV or read about. It really gets overwhelming for me. I don't even watch crime shows anymore. But I still feel for the victims of these recent tragedies. One thing...

Isn't it funny how our first response is to take a photo of an animal before we really understand that it is a wild animal and it is way bigger than us. I think I would be quickly retreating instead of taking the photo :eek: Any wombats wandering around there ?

Okay, it is almost 11pm at night and it is still 83 degrees outside ! It is supposed to be 103 degrees in a couple of days. I stand in the shade outside and talk to my neighbors and I get all red in the face and start sweating. Thank goodness I have a covered parking space at my apartment...

Spooky: You spoke about needing help ? I am disabled and I just turned 55 years old. I live in an apartment complex. I have to walk a very short distance to toss out my household trash into a large trash bin. I walk very slow and I walk hunched over ( limited mobility in my neck and I have...

You had to wait six months to see the Gastroenterologist and now you have to wait three more months for a colonoscopy ! That is just wrong ! :ymad: It is so wrong to make you suffer any longer than you already have. You may need a blood transfusion if you lose a lot of blood ? At one time I...

Thanks !

Don't watch sad television shows when you are all alone ! I ate a bunch of candy. My sister sends me happy e-mails about her spending time with her grand-kids in Idaho. I am glad they are happy ? But I am all alone, so sending me e-mails about happy family time just makes me feel more alone...

No one has posted on here in 10 days ? I almost got heatstroke the other day ? Now I have been so terribly tired. No energy at all. I see my Endocrinologist on Wednesday. I want my blood tested.

Should I ask for an endoscopy ? I have a new Gastroenterologist and I don't think he would recommend one for me. My last endoscopy in 2009? I am not sure if I like this new doctor ? My favorite Gastroenterologist is no longer on my Insurance plan !!!!!

Oh, I DID start taking Culturelle probiotics once a day in April.

I am taking one Extra Strength Gaviscon every day and I have never had to do that on a regular basis. I had C-diff in April, I don't know if that has anything to do with it ? I already take Pantoprazole each morning.

Fatigued. Bloated. Watching TV programs that are sad. It is too hot to go outside. I just ate 700 calories of chocolate.

Me too. Sending hugs your way. You are not alone. :-)

98 degrees at 7:53pm. Summer is here in Arizona. Too hot to run errands and go to doctors appointments sometimes. I almost got "heatstroke" on Thursday afternoon. I have been home for 2 days, fatigued and sad.

I agree with you. Which disorder or disease is causing which symptom ? It gets so frustating. I have multiple illnesses too. All I know for sure is that they all cause me fatigue. There is a thread here for fatigue ( Thank goodness). Have a great weekend. :-)
