I have been on arthritis meds since age 14 for RA.  Back then there was nothing but aspirin.  Some days I took over 20.

So, last spring I started having tummy trouble and saw a Gastro Doc.  Had a sonogram, Endoscopy, and MRI.  Finally, just taking one Prilosec OTC everyother day along with all the other meds.

Not due for Colonoscopy (ugh), he suggested a pancreas biopsy, I thought about the options, and risks, and decided not.  OK so far, but need to be checked again in the Fall.

It it's not one thing it's two.

Just FYI:  We heat our home with oil.  Still have a wood pellet stove in our FR fireplace, unused for many years.  Well, our oil tank down by half, had it filled.  A normal size tank. Can you guess how much?  

Try $700 for one half tank of oil.  Not a typo.  Can’t wait til everything hits the supermarket, etc.  Just a note of caution for your expectations to prevent a medical trauma event.

@Yahooey, I see @loveschocolate popped in on a TV and Movies thread on 3/7, so maybe she's just been reading to catch up on all of the busy threads (me, too!).  
Some say it's slow here, but I disagree -- only a day or 2 can go by and there's a lot to read.🙀

Love the peeking kitty!

Greetings to everyone!❤️

@Drythe : Oh my goodness. You really have medical issues - To think that you take medicine just every other day but I understand.

Last night - I was planning more changes like reducing my medication, eat better, more exercise and determine to reduce my weight. All not fun nor easy.

DH eating chocolate chip cookies. Me popcorn and a tangerine.

You will be in my thoughts and prayers.🤗♥️🙏

@PamfromCT : Sticker shock.. That would have caused a major panic attack and more. Ok me not complaining about any more price increases . Getting a big jar and saving all my change. Will be looking for grocery coupons. Only paying for the digital local paper because it increased  to $65 month and only locality decrease was $48 and the digital is $19. The change in the newspaper was 6 months ago.🤗♥️

@Drythe, I am truly sorry to hear of your health challenges.  You certainly have been and continue to go through so much.

I know how many advances there has been in medicine,  but so many of us co tiniest to suffer the effects of prior treatments or lack of them.  Sending love and light to you.

@SouthernBee, Good for you to commit to making changes in your diet.  It is so very hard, as temptations are all around us.

Just a fact that salty, fat, and sweet food tastes so good to most of us.  It all begins with baby steps, so keep it up.  I still have weight to lose, and it is a challenge, I know.

@cowboy sam, I am happy that your DD is doing so much better.  It’s hard when a child has health issues.  But it is a comfort when they actively try to make changes.

And happy that you did have that test!  I do hope you do well on your new medication.  You do get much exercise, and I admire you for that.

Sending love and light to you both.
