So much more to worry about. There's no way I could possibly work now, I can't even drive. I feel like I'm in a constant hangover, mornings are bad…

Flooding in the Northeast -how are you?
I'm located near 3 rivers the Unadilla, Chenango, and the Susquehanna. All bridges are closed and it looks like they might be for a few days. We are safe here on our hill, but so many areas nearby have been inundated by Irene and now Lee. A few towns no longer exist. All roads closed, state of emergency. So - roll call!…

With my doctor's approval, I switched to taking it in the evenings, 1 hour before supper instead of in the mornings before breakfast. Xeloda is taken both morning and evening,…

Tamoxifen has not been kind to me but after 2 weeks of not being able to properly breathe and yet another ER visit, I decided I am taking myself off this medication. I am back to my very strict regime of daily juicing, walks, yoga and very good nutrition.…

Very Worried
I saw the other pain dr. today. He told me we can not go on giving me nerve block shots in the neck much longer. My other doctor who is on vacation didn't mention that. I, however, did realize I can not keep getting such large shots in the same spot in the neck forever. I was not prepared to be without them soon. I see him…
