°88 in Glendale, Arizona at 2:28am. Predicted high of °102 on September 1st. Killer hot summer here this year. The average yearly rainfall here is about 7 inches. This is supposed to be our rainy season right now. A few downpours, but nothing worthwhile so far.

Ron: My Primary Care Physician will draw blood in September, just my once a year "Comprehensive Metabolic Panel". I had blood tests recently in ER and I was not informed of any problems. But I have thyroid problems and that can affect my energy levels. My Endocrinologist does a blood draw every...

Flagyl is not the only medication to treat intestinal infections. My Gastroenterologist prescribed Vancomycin for my C-diff intestinal infection last year. I took the prescription pills for 2 weeks. The prescription WAS expensive and required a Pre-Authorization from my Health Insurance Company...

There is a local Crohns/Ulcerative Colitis Support Group in the city I live in. I have never gone to one of their meeting. Has anyone attended a support group like this ?

I have been suffering from constipation for 5 months now. I went to the ER once in April for the worst dry heaves I have ever experienced, I was almost choaking. I visited the ER again in May when I panicked after having a very painful BM which resulted in a toilet full of blood. Then one more...

I have a question. Ok, so right now I am 56 years old and have been collecting SSD for 3 years. When I get older will my SSD automatically change to SSI ? Or would I have to apply for SSI when I get older ? My sister started collecting her SSI at 63 1/2 years old when she retired from her job.

On July 18th I received a letter from SSD that said they will not be reviewing my case at this time. I had mailed them their short form on February 22nd. I am very happy about their decision, my anxiety and stress was off the charts for 5 months while I waited for their reply. I started...

As of July 2nd our Cedar Creek Wildfire is now 100 percent contained. Almost 46,000 acres burned. No loss of life, thank goodness. Three years ago we lost 19 firefighters who died trying to fight a wildfire here in Arizona. Many, many other smaller fires bured recently here too, seem to be...

Sandy : The AVERAGE temperature here in Glendale, Arizona is 104 degrees ( this July ). Today it was 113 degrees. It has been three digit temperatures here for a while now. I can't stand it. It does NOT cool off in the evenings either. :sign0085:

Scottsma: Yeah, I have many, many neighbors who work hard and obey the rules and do not bother anyone. I chat with a few neighbors, some of whom have lived here for several years. I do not judge anyone and I treat everyone with respect. I need to get out of my apartment more often so I am away...

Ron, I have problems where I live too. I live in an apartment complex, always things happening here with my neighbors......a lot of drama :sign0085: A guy upstairs always has junk sitting outside his apartment on the 2nd floor walkway. Today it is a bicycle and a vacuum.....and clothing hung...

Sandy, we have had some bad fires this summer. I have heard about the drone problem too. I hope Arizona passes a bill like Utah did. 93° here in Glendale, Arizona at 9:28am, Monday. A bit of rain at 3am. The lawn in the courtyard looks nice and green today ( I live in an apartment complex ).

Thank you Ron : - )

Well, today I am feeling scared. This is not because of my Ulcerative Colitis, but because I MAY have to have my thyroid removed. I have nodules that are on my thyroid and they are growing. I recently had a thyroid ultrasound. But I will get a needle biopsy in November. The decision to do...

Bumprump: I had an anal fistulectomy in 1992. It was outpatient surgery. After I got home I decided to look at the surgery area with a mirror and I was horrified by what I saw. I think looking at it was a bad idea. I wish I could erase that picture from my mind. I did the sitz baths daily and...

Isn't that the "sunshine" coast ! ? Stay Safe. : - )
