Looks like we need some hugs all around today.

Hope everyone starts to feel better soon.

It's rainy here so no outside plans again. All the meds are unwrapped and ready to be put away. Then I need to decide on what to make for dinner. We are so darn exciting aren't we? LOL I received my material in the mail yesterday and instead of being pre-cut like I thought it would be, they sent it on a bolt. It may work out better this way since I can cut it to my measurements. I now need a sharp pair of scissors. lol

So, that's it for now. Have a good day everyone.

's to everyone this morning. Sorry so many of you aren't feeling too well. Hope you start feeling better soon.

Taking a break from cleaning this morning. I was a good girl yesterday and did my Neti pot faithfully every 4 to 6 hours. What a difference it made in how I feel this morning. Still somewhat congested but things are really breaking up, far better than with the abx.

DD19 has spent the last couple of nights here. She needed the internet to do her home work. Last night we did laundry. Oh, take that back, we did DD18's laundry. LOL (Ok, I threw mine in and DD19s - what she had here). Still DD18 had the bulk of it. All the washers in dorm are/were broken.

Hoping to get some artwork in today. Even though I have homework to do, I want to get to my calm "sacred" place as it is rejuvenating and helps me refocus.

Have a great day everyone!

Morning all. Hugs all around....

DH woke me this morning for a phone call from NIU at about 10:30. I go tomorrow to test for the budget analyst job. I just started taking dopamax last night again, er, I mean Topamax.

I think I'll skip it tonight and just deal with the headache. This morning my mind was thicker than usual and my legs more cement-filled feeling. I took the Newvigil and I hope it makes me feel as good as new. With my insurance discount and a $50 coupon, it was still $183 for 30 pills.

DS picked up the meds at the pharmacy for me and he said the guy looked scared when he told him the price, like he expected him to blow up and rant over the cost. (I already did that on the phone, lol.)

I can mail in the receipt and get 80% of that back. If it works, I can get 3 months for $35. We really pay a lot for our premiums, but they really lose money on me! It seems like half of my meds cost anywhere from $500 to $4000 per month. It's just insane.

Fin,

I hope you'll be feeling better soon.

Barb,

I'm sorry about the tremors.

Vonn,

Do you feel any better since you started the Copaxone again?

Sox,

We have really cheap cable right now with only one premium box in the living room. We get cable for all the TVs, internet and phone for $79 a month for two years! The service can be bad if there's a problem but I'm saving about $110 a month over what I had before. And I won't tell how many TVs we have either.

Kelly,

I'm glad you had a nice time with your friends.

Trish,

I'm glad the neti pot helped, maybe I should get one of those.

Weave, Sarah, TKTC, everybody else (I hope I didn't miss anybody's name ) ....

Wiz...we used to get by with only one premium box in the family room but
Comcast is switching to some new digital only so if you dont have a box, you
only get channels 1-13. My dd would surely die without disney;.
They give you four digital boxes for free and then each other one is 2 dollars
a month. Well, I guess now I will be able to watch HBO in the bedroom;.

Wiz - Good luck tomorrow! Let us know how things go. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Sox - You're funny! I have 1 tv and 1 idiot converter box and 1 useless antennae. Guess that shows how much I watch tv. LOL Well, I did turn it on last night thinking it was Tuesday (NOVA night here). I ended up watching Castle as that was the only station I got last night. LOL

hey Wiz ... what does 'topamax' do for you??

started my shots again this morning ... I feel so much more like a human again!! still have the numbness in my left jaw area ... couldn't believe how that all started up again!!

okay - gotta get some stuff done ... and eat ... altho I don't feel like eating ... going for some steamed broccoli with butter/cheese ...

The Topamax is for the headaches I get from the provigil and nuvigil. You take one med for one symptom and get side effects from that so you need more meds for that, and so on and so on....

sorry to hear about that, Wiz ...

I'm lucky (glad?) ... that I've only had one or two bad throbbing headaches in the beginning ...

the sun came out today!! oops... need the shades!

Leaving in a few minutes to go to the play. the weather is lousy here -- rain and cold. We are going out to dinner first and it takes about 45 minutes to get there. I think we are going to Ruby Tuesdays for dinner.

Wiz -- Good luck with the test! If you could get on at NIU, the state has pretty good health insurance.
