I have found that as a woman that I often get dismissed when it comes to pain. Basically I get told that it all because I;m depressed. I think that it's demeaning. I refuse to be depressed all the time. I have many things I that I am doing, and many more thing that I want to do. Chronic pain is depressing a times, but it is also only just part of who I am. I love to find humor in the world around me. While I know that somethings are difficult in life, that not everything is difficult. Most of the time it is about choosing to be happy.

I do find it to be very aggravating to have pain specialist refuse to treat me, because Fibromyalgia isn't considered to be a real problem. I do know that I am still very open to other alternatives, but I still find that narcotics are the most effective. But now the State will not allow me to be treated with the most effective medication. So I make do, and make the best of things.

I did find that having my DH with me has made a big difference with some doctors. It seems to eliminate being classed as a faker. I wish I was just a faker, that way I wouldn't need to bother even trying to deal with doctors.

Oh Honey I feel so bad for you !!!!!!!!!!!

It is demeaning & depressing to have doctors treat you as a nut case, or even worse they treat you as if you are a drug freak !!!!!!!!!

Well, home from my new gastro doc visit...and now I am in for some very expensive tests...............UGH!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyways, not to bother y'all with the TMI details....I am going to {{SIGH!!!!!} and go close coops.

Seriously, sometimes don't you hate to go to the doc cuz maybe if you don't, "IT" will just go away...or will not exist ?
But once you go, and get tested, "IT" becomes a reality despite alll the symptoms & suspitions ????????????

See, as long as I have not been tested yet, I cannot have "IT" so staying away from the doc means I am OK , right ????????????

The Queen of Denial ????????????

I tell myself to just get up in the morning & keep moving !!!!!!!!!!! (is there a smilie kicking another smilie in the butt ??? )

Barred Rocks are not a sex link breed that I know of !
Both are the same shade.
Cuckoo marans ARE auto sexing as the hens are darker (much) and the Cocks lighter.

oh no I know they are not sex links. I just mean that when they are grown that the Roos are normally lighter gray while the hens are darker and their barring is thicker. Or so thats what I have read I could be wrong.

I know, what you don't see can't hurt you - right!

What really bugs me is the DOC wants you to have tests just because... For instance, my doc want me to have a colonoscopy, despite there's never been any colon cancer in my family. There's no symptoms, so why the test? Just because it's easy and it gives another doc some income!

Why not test me for TB (grandfather died from it) or heart problems (mom died from them). But no. . .

well, unless I have a symptom I'm not going to the doctor anymore. I just know I'll GET a disease if I go. Probably a very expensive, designer disease at that.

I bet that's what you have CL, one of them fancy shmansy designer diseases . . .

I reckon that's what pettecs got too, and maybe broody, and who else was sick Ogrress, and Zgoatlady? They are all these newfangled diseases and I for one don't want any of them.

Babies tonight!

Bobette (broken Rex bunny) had babies - but I haven't counted them

#3 (champagne D'Argent) had 8 babies last week, and three more bunnies are due soon.

Agatha (Goat) has a very relaxed you know what, so may be going to have babies soon (or she's in estrus, not sure which).

And, it's going to snow! AAARGH!

PBRs look the same, cockerels will have much thicker shanks, and feather slower, and as WA4-HPoultryMom has said, look for hackle, only Cock birds have it, grab a bird & look at the back of it's neck to the skin for sharp pointer feathers.
Hens are plumper, have no hackle, and feather evenly & faster than the cocks.

I'll stick with designer boots, thank you very much. Wait, they aren't much cheaper than designer diseases, what am I thinking!
