Topic: Thursday- What's new review
I'm going to be here hit and miss. Old dog isn't doing well. I've been laying on the floor next to him for the last hour. I've covered him with a blanket to try and keep him warm. Gary isn't anywhere where I can reach him until afternoon, so I'm just trying to hang in there with the old man by myself. His gums are white and he is pretty listless. Just drank some water, but it's the first since I've been up at 6:00.
Everyone chat amongst yourselves. I'll be back

The nasal b-12 is very new, and only a few ins cover it, so you might want to check that out before you order it. It is supposed to be very, very effective. In fact, the drug rep who sells it is coming to the October 15th support group at Baptist. Why don't you try to come? We'd love to see your Diva self in person!!!
I love Dr Gibbs to death. Lord knows I'm still on this planet because of him. But I cannot for the life of me understand why he and his medical buddies keep prescribing those stupid gel caps!!! I took them for about 8 months and my D continually dropped, until it was finally at 11. After I started taking the dry D-3 it went to 63 in 5 weeks. They just won't listen to me. Oh well.
How about "Bat Girl"?

Thanks for the advice. Dr. Gibbs gave me a script for some nasal B-12 to try. I have the sublingual guess I'm not getting enough. I will try the VitD-3. He did give me a script for the green gel caps. As for my husband he had another bleed but they can't find where the blood came from so doc says not to worry about it since his blood count did not drop much.
Now the bat wings I may have to take picture of me cooking cause my husband is old school and I cook everyday twice a day that good Lord sends me another day. I also do cakes so I am grabbing my camera with a full memory and I will be clicking an recording like a film crew on a reality show. Let's see what shall I call my show? The Hanging Skin Saga, or The life and skin of Mama Peaches, or The Journey to a Hot chick in a Thong?

Hi Peaches, so nice to see you again! You always make me smile.....
Sorry your hubby has been sick, hope it's not too serious or prolonged.
B-12....get yourself some 1.000 mc sublingual b-12 dots and take them 2x's a day. What you don't need will be expelled, but it's essential to get your level up and keep it there. It's cheap, too! Wal-mart, Walgreens, GNC, etc all have it.
Now, your D. If you're taking the green gel caps that the doctor prescribes, you either have to poke a hole in them or bite into it when you take it. They don't break down since we don't have stomach acid in our pouches!! I buy Vitamin D-3 from Vitalady.com, in the 50,000 iu's that are the prescription strength dose. They are in a powder inside a regular capsule that easily dissolves. It can make a HUGE difference in your numbers. My pcp FINALLY acknowledges that I might know what I'm talking about here and doesn't bother trying to get me to take his green boogers.
As far as your bat wings, I've only heard of one person getting her ins to pay for it. She had to appeal over and over, and finally sent a photo of her stirring a pot on the back burner of the stove. The skin on her arm was touching the pot on the front burner!!!! It was staged of course, for purposes of showing how dangerous all of that skin was. I think it took about a year to finally convince the ins co to pay, but they did.
Good luck!!! Come back often, we miss you!

Maybe some tylenol pm is in order???
Sherlock isn't doing well. He hasn't moved but about 4 feet from a spot in the kitchen since last night. Gary's in denial, but says he'll take him to the vet on Saturday. :(
I'm proud of your efforts to kick the soda. You go girl!!!

Topic: RE: Wednesday---What's new review
Feeling better every day. Getting by with 1 Lomotil in the am now to make it through the day. Won't have the results from the stool culture untl Friday at the earliest. On to better things, I went shopping for a new outfit to wear to a class today and bought size 8
jeans! I got a medium top. Those WOW moments are getting harder to come by. At work everybody keeps stopping me and asking if I'm ok saying I have lost so much weight lately. I just laugh and say GOOD!!! 12 or so lbs to go! Ate a poached egg on wheat toast for breakfast, potato soup with a little of 2% cheese sprinkled in it for lunch, and a little shrimp scampi (too greasy to eat much of that) for supper. went to bed at 8:30 like the old woman that I am, lol. Val and I are kind of numb right now with his mother passing away. Even though we knew it was comming, it is still hard no matter how prepared you are. At least she isn't suffering any more. Well, I'm off to gas up and pick up my RNA to head to Fayettevill for the class. Ya'll have a good day. To all you carbonated beverage junkies, good luck. I too fell off the wagon for a bit but at least I have a handle on that one again. Now I just need to completely conquer the cigarettes...
