It's so crazy trying to cope with pain, I know all too well, and sympathize<BR/>and hope our health care system gets healed as well as us.<BR/><BR/>topangamariaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-61169232896865938522009-03-01T18:47:00.000-05:002009-03-01T18:47:00.000-05:00I know blood pressure is different sometimes from ...I know blood pressure is different sometimes from arm to arm, but more than 20 it is something to be taken seriously. I've been to three different doctors and they all said the same thing... and these are top rated doctors--ones that have been reviewed in New York Mag, etc. It means sometimes blocking the flow of blood, which could be dangerous. <BR/><BR/>As far as the "weed"... my parents said they'd hook me up if I can't get a friend to. Can you believe my parents suggested this??? Oh, it's a whole new world.Meghan McCarthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05117528918335897128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-79365335106125626972009-02-28T08:19:00.000-05:002009-02-28T08:19:00.000-05:00Juat a few other thoughts.

The right arm is the one most commonly checked, go with that reading and it's a bit high. Part of that could be due to your stress and pain.<BR/>Rather then taking the drastic step of heavier drugs, that will eradicate what may be left of your immune system, I would request your doctor write out a prescription for a certain "weed" that is legal so long as it is for medical use.<BR/>It seems to work well for many and you'll be able to work too.Christine Tripphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058419743726981987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-11566745989693005662009-02-27T07:48:00.000-05:002009-02-27T07:48:00.000-05:00Oh wait, yes there is.

Happy times ahead.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Good thought, sadly you'd have to be completely insane, bordering on homocidal to do that to yourself or 8 little lives. (Does anyone know if that "Dr" is in jail yet, or at least had his license revoked?)<BR/>I gather moving to Montreal is now out of the question. What is the amount in the US that a person on disability would be allowed to earn outside of the government cheque?Christine Tripphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058419743726981987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-89597480919233008652009-02-26T22:45:00.000-05:002009-02-26T22:45:00.000-05:00Well, unfortunately since I'm a part time employee...Well, unfortunately since I'm a part time employee I don't get a leave of absence with pay. I could take a month off but there would be no pay. Being pressured to get a book done is no picnic either. The problem is no books = no rent or food. If I look into SS I might not be able to make books anymore because my income might be too high. I don't think there's an easy solution to this. Oh wait, yes there is. I can get 8 embryos inserted and then get the people of america to pay for me and my babies! Yay!

It sounds like you need some time to rest and recuperate.Anna Alterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16158290821419472185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-42913851297474855212009-02-26T16:21:00.000-05:002009-02-26T16:21:00.000-05:00Oh, Meghan, I'm sorry.If Barnes and Noble is l...Oh, Meghan, I'm sorry.<BR/><BR/>If Barnes and Noble is like other large companies, if you have health insurance, you also have a temporary disability policy. This isn't like federal disability -- it's a 90 day leave to rest/recover from an illness. While you're on disability leave, you get your full paycheck.<BR/><BR/>To get it, you get the forms from HR and your doctor fills them out. Period. It's that simple.<BR/><BR/>I'm writing this mainly hoping that one of your friends in NY or at B&N reads it and helps you/encourages you to get those forms to your doctor.<BR/><BR/>YOU NEED TO REST. Please let us BRGs help.<BR/><BR/>libbyLibby Koponenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01508041827996196293noreply@blogger.com
