My leukemia's back.

Eggsy, now you know what to do to feel better. And $20 vs. $500? That's huge!

Just got back from my allergy panels.
@ronott1 was right. Dust mites -both kinds.
The odd thing is 17 years ago I was not allergic to molds and dust mites, but tree and grass pollen.
Now after 17 years of antigen therapy I am not allergic to grass and tree pollen, but I am allergic to dust mites and mold,
But I am happy because now I can do something about being miserable.

And....instead of the 500 bucks we thought the testing would cost...20 dollar copay.

I can go buy some hipa filters with the windfall!

I am sorry about the dust mite and mold allergies! At least you know what you are allergic too.

We have mold problems in the winter since it does not rain in the late spring to mid fall. Dust mites you can work with.

Are you going to get antigen therapy for the mold and dust mites?

I hope relief is now in your future eggs....as for me I'm tired of Dr's...always telling me something wrong with me....think I'm going to do my best to avoid them for a while.

this is kind of what I'm thinking, too. Either they're telling me more things are wrong with me, or shocked and amazed when I say things are going well. I'd like to give them up altogether.......but the team from OHSU is coming down tomorrow, so I'll obediently trot myself down to Medford for my appointment. The prednisone is telling me there's a great diner near the hospital that has wonderful pancakes......

Hard to beat pancakes...my wife went down to the local restaurant today to help her friend who owns it out.
She brought me home liver and onions for dinner....total treat for me she hasn't made me liver and onions in years....she hates it...here's the deal Rachel....I went in for an eye exam...haven't had one in 20 years. Fully expected it to go well.....I feel I see good......well seams I have significantly high eye pressures.
So now seams I might have glaucoma.
But after I told him I take prednisone now he feels is caused by the prednisone...another thing you should be aware of..... The good news is my ocular nerves are intact and good shape so I have to go back for a check in 6 , months.I guess my word for you is be aware that prednisone can cause this"induced" glaucoma symptom anyway.
Prednisone is a wonderful miracle drug that I needed to breathe better. But definitely has some wide ranging side effects.
One good note. Being in Iron Mountain at the VA hospital today had one advantage. I was able to call the Marquette office and get my pain med prescription fixed and pick it up in person at the pharmacy. They ship it out from Iron Mountain.
The pharmacy tech who fixed it her name was Candy. Over the phone they said "just go to the pharmacy and ask for"Candy" (they all laughed in the background)".
Being on pain meds sucks...but without then I'm pretty crippled up. Then there's the slight panic that happens when you realize your going to run out.
Avoid it if possible...just sometimes it's a fact of life for some of us.

 

[Outpost JWB]

Anyone else so over the flies? It's turned cold here and they're literally sticking to everything.....

FLIES!!!

I thought it was due to our floor being cut and left open for days for the bleach and kilz to dry.....But Sunday, DH bought 2 fly swatters and those nasty fly strips and we got over 40 flies that same night. The worst is when you are trying to sleep and one over achiever fly keeps BUZZZZZZZing and BUZZZZZZZing, just as soon as you are almost asleep

.

DH said yesterday while I was at work the foreman of the construction crew was barking out orders at the crew and accidently backed into one of the fly strips

and it got stuck in his hair! I would've loved to have been a fly on the wall and seen that!!! LOL!!! The crew got a big laugh out of it.

Before


After


Because of the mold, the entire floor had to be ripped out and replaced. Still not 100% done, but I HAVE A KITCHEN SINK! AND A DISHWASHER

Have to clear out the laundry room before I leave for work. They are working in there today. You all have a beautiful morning! Sorry for my lack of posts...just been super crazy busy here.

Good morning everyone!

Outpost, the work on your kitchen looks good, how nice to have a sink and dishwasher again!

 

[LittleLakePhil]
