Yes. I have glaucoma, copd. And so far I think I still have my liver. I mailed her a letter today. Guess we'll talk it over soon. Still waiting on my labs.

Dr. ***** reviewed my labs and wrote, "All are within normal limits, stable, or acceptable for you."
She gave me Flomax for enlarged prostrate. She didn't test my thyroid. Here's what I had given her in my notes. "Thyroid is better, not cold as much. Still have split nails, which is hard on nose and runs in stockings."

I saw a neurologist on the 8th and they are going to give me one of the spoons that Bigv posted. Guess what meds she is sending me? Yep the same one I refused from my Dr. TOPIRAMATE. Ain't life grand?

That spoon looks like a fantastic product. I hope it works well for you, bb. As for the Topamax, can you talk over your concerns with your doc? Maybe she'd be willing to try a different medication.

Are you going to take it or are you still on the fence about it?

I got my uncle one of those spoons. He likes it (insofar as it is possible for him to like anything that reminds him he has Parkinson's.)

Be patience buster, everything is moving slowly. I just found out my shark that shoots laser beams won't be here until Wednesday.

frickin' lasers
Buster, I wish you the best, man. I like you and it kind of pisses me off to hear your tales of the bullshit you have to go through. I wish there was something I could do to help.

Hey BusterB. The VA first time around tried to diagnose me with essential tremors, but it ended up being the neurological damage. Anyway the treatment is the same - beta blockers. I and most of the guys with the same issues I know with the problem get Toprol 3 times a day.
Don't let the VA fuck you over!! I'm using my Medicare and Tricare for Life to stay out of VA hell as much as I can

I'm having good luck with the VA. But that could change at any minute.

The meds came today, but on hold till the retina Dr. replies to my IM. The spoon, I have to go to va for it. Maybe more than one weight? Also got 90 tabs of Guaifenesin, just got them 10 days ago. So wtf is someone thinking? I'm eating them for snacks.

A friend asked me to take a ride yesterday, said would buy lunch. So we did. I had a side of coleslaw. He ask, any good. Well what little I could keep on the fork isn't bad.
That's why I don't eat out much. Also I'm out of touch with the cost of things.
