Getting my prokinetics won't be easy, but it will be necessary.  Not sufficient, however, because living--and getting a completee night's sleep--with GERD caused by intestinal dysmotility requires following two rules ( Read more... )

I've gotten to that point where I'm telling myself "It's not a ton of stuff" while conveniently ignoring the closed cabinets and piles of things that have to be sold/given away.  But I'm getting through it.  I even found my backup supplies of Midol and Neosporin--seriously useful that ( Read more... )

A couple of my friends are going through truly hellish times right now.  I won't post their stuff here as it's their stuff, but some people aren't doing that well.  Me, I could be better.  I'm still recovering from the statins and the upper chest infection.  For the latter the doctor gave me antibiotics--I haven't looked them up but I know the ( Read more... )

A coworker told me of a prank she'd heard about for April Fool's, and if I hadn't been so dog-tired last night I'd have posted it so those of you in yesterday's time zone ;) might have used it ( Read more... )

Communities and proxybox are blocked, so I have to wait until I get home to enjoy the world_tourist community. Meh ( Read more... )
