We should stop thinking about the dentist; but the only thing harder than getting one person to stop thinking about something is getting nine people in a room to stop talking about it; because all it takes is one person to think of something horrific and then the entire room is in a panic again.

I had a pleasant surprise this last week we finally got the information about my husband’s dental insurance and it’s a lot more economical than our other insurance. I don’t know Blue Cross Blue Shield NC but Blue Cross Florida is messed up for us. I think it’s more that the city my husband works [...]

I don’t handle stress entirely well. I’ve known this for quite some time. However every once in a while I get reminded; when things happen such as this morning. There I was filtering through all the prototype 37c reviews, viagra offers, and Nigerian bank scams and finding random messages from relatives across the pond when [...]

I never truly thought I’d be writing those words despite the fact that hypothyroidism runs in my family, my Gran and Great-Gran both have/had it, but it’s that old “it’ll never get me!” chestnut. However it apparently has. My thyroid levels from last week indicate a 5.08 TSH, when normal range is considered to be [...]

I thought I had mentioned before that I had discovered an interesting book called Surviving Mesothelioma which is written by Paul Kraus who is indeed a survivor of mesothelioma cancer. He and his family compiled a lot of information during his courses of treatment and they’re presented along with his story in his book. Out [...]

My psychiatrist did something that I thought was a little odd. At the last visit he prescribed for me to have blood work done and asked me to make sure I got my annual physical. It was a bit unexpected. On the one hand it’s a good idea for me to have a check up. [...]

We had a party over the weekend for some friends. Their birthdays are within a day of each other and so we hosted them and several of our friends for wontons, sushi and birthday cake with ice cream; all home made (yes the ice cream included!). One of our friends came over who we haven’t [...]

As anyone on Facebook and livejournal knows we’ve had a shake-up again as far as our inter-connectivity goes. Kiddy came back. I’m always reluctant to say “came back” because it implies that she was gone completely, but in reality, she was just sort of “sulking” in back for a while, contributing to discussions every once [...]

…I’m back on the “things you don’t remember purchasing” issue. I find there’s also a “things you misplace” issue. Now, I know that people who are not multiples lose things all the time. In fact it seems to be us that are the only ones who can ever find hubbie’s car keys, but it’s one [...]

I dislike certain aspects of the fibro more than others. The achiness is annoying but I can deal with it. However the itching. There are many times when it itches like I have eczema and the skin burns, touch is extremely sensitive. One of our friends brought over a paraffin wax bath the other day. [...]
