Dear ,

Texas has a law that requires those living in Texas to be a 'trainee' for no

more than a specific time period (I think 1 yr), and you take the PTCB exam

and if you do not pass it with in the specific time frame you can not apply to

be a registered tech again.

A TEXAN would be best able to discuss this with you and of course the REAL

law and regs at the State Board of Pharmacy of Texas would be your best bet.

You could call them.

Now here is what I really wanted to get to:

1. The training has to be at a state approved site.

2. If you are coming from out of state there may be a whole different set of

'rules' that may apply regarding the 'trainee' thing. You will need to check

this out.

3. Since Texas is a 'good ol' boy' state, if you are CPhT and experienced in

anothe state this may or may not satisfy the good ol' Texan pharmacist, EVEN if

Texan state law were to accept your reciprocity.

Now while I have NOT answered your questions with exactness, I have

raised other 'questions and issues' that you must address IF you are planning

to move to TEXAS, which is what I got out of your email.

And if any one from TEXAS does answer , I suggest that you 'cover'

as much as you can for the 'out of stater'.

I hope you get 'true' reciprocity.

Respectfully,

Jeanetta Mastron CPhT BS

PS if you want a job, you should post the city in which you are seekig work.

Many people have gotten leads and direct introductions from pharm sites this

way.

Are you an experienced tech? What state are you in now?

[Guest guest]

Hi -

Getting a job can be difficult depending on the city you are in. If

you are not certified and registered already, your best bet is to try

retail. I have yet to see hospitals hire trainees. Once certified and

registered it may still be difficult because it seems many (not all)

employers want experienced technicians. If you are in a city with a

pharmacy school, your hunt for a job will be even more difficult. With

the trade schools and community colleges turning out technicians every

semester plus pharmacy students working their way through college as

techs, the remaining jobs are likely to be few and far between or just

plain crummy positions.

Good luck!

If you are a CPhT, then that transfers, in since it is a national

thing. You would still have to register with the state You can

check out Technician information at

http://www.tsbp.state.tx.us/Pharmacytechs.htm

It depends on which area of Texas you are.

Your best bet might be to physically go in person to different places

to see if they are hiring, and/or at least fill out an application

there.

I'm in NW Houston. But there are others who are at other areas in Texas.

Hmmmm...Don't know about the diarrhea part but the dizziness is

something that occurs fairly often. I suspect it has to do with the

movement of blocked energy. I get it quite frequently when I'm working

on deep issues. I suppose it could be that the diarhhea is your body's

way of dealing with energy shifts.

Sounds to me like you were moving massive amounts of energy around in

your system. I get the distinct impression that to say that you were

pissed off would be a gross understatement.

Don't know if that answered your question, but I hope it helped...

They weight theory does have merit, the fact that women in general metabolize alcohol different than men is a crucial factor. The lack of first pass (alcohol dehydrogenase) means that elimination is more prevalent in the liver, the higher level could be due to accelerated UGT1A1 expression and/or weight, which is why I'am against the whole search and destroy (continuous monitoring) type treatment. I had tried to research the partition ratio, which is parts blood to alcohol, and only became more baffled. One's partition ratio may not be the same one hour from the next, yet the legally accepted is 2100:1("Breathylizers"), if one's partition ratio is 1500:1 there will be an erroneous higher read- Would one produce a higher level of EtG due to partition ratio? Too many factors, fallibility's rather, that could invite, as Dr. Skiper calls it, "disaster"!

[Guest guest]

The whole concept of a dose-response curve with EtG levels has been discounted by everyone!

So this "tiny" girl tests positive and they attribute it to her size. Couldn't it be attributed to her gender? Or her race? Or her genetic metabolic differences? Or her kidney function? Or her hygiene products? Or her medications? They have absolutely NO RESEARCH to base this conclusion on her size! Yet they are the "experts" and I guess that gives them the right to do as they please.

Lorie

question

In asking the question about the body weight....at my hearing, I believe it was Barbieri that stated of a mouthwash study in which they used 9 or 10 people and all were <250 but one person who was close to 400. He stated this person was a 'TINY WOMEN'. We know that with the same dose of alcohol women have higher blood alcohol levels then men...would it NOT be assumed then that they would have higher Etg levels if Etg is produced by metabolism from the bloood stream? MOST of the first research on this test was done on men and cut-off's were set at that level....WHY has no one made this a MAJOR factor in looking at this test? Seems to me women are at a disadvantage just stepping into this testing..not only due to hormonal issues, but smaller amounts of incidental could cause positives! In certain lab values, normals are reported differently by sex....maybe that needs to be SERIOUSLY looked at! PLEASE...any comments on that?

Pay attention. That cough you have is something many of us have

experienced, and is indicative of GERD. I had another fill in March,

to 90% capacity, and was much too tight. I would begin to cough as

soon as I lay down to sleep, and literally coughed all night long. I'd

sit up, the cough would stop, then lie down and it would start up

again. The hosp removed half a CC and the problem stopped. I still

cough if I eat too much, but it goes away.

Agree with all of the above response. What I don't know is how long

you've been banded. If it was just a few days ago, you could have

aspirated during surgery or recovery, or you could have gotten

irritated from the anesthetic procedure. But, yes, being tight, or

eating too much, will both give you symptoms including, hiccups,

coughing, runny nose, sneezing, barfing, and so forth.

This IS allergy season but the others are right that any peristent

cough must be checked out. Even a small bit of reflux can cause just

this kind of cough. It can often be taken care of with behavioral and

eating changes your family doc will discuss with you, but he needs to

consult with your band surgeon WHILE you are there being examined.

You need to help arrange this. the fmily doc likely knows little

about the band, and even less about the band + reflux. you may also

need a small unfill.

But the first step is to see your locl family doc for an exam.

It sounds to me like it got stuck. It sloshed around for a while

before it tried to go " down the drain " through the stoma. I've had

that happen a couple times, though not with jerky. Once was with some

biscuit and it took four hours of pain. I've not had a biscuit since.

I can eat jerky ok, but there are often tough/gristly little bits that

I simply spit out, since I know they'd get stuck.

Well, what you describe sounds like my feelings when I've had

something stuck. Once I got a too tight fill and had something stuck

for a week until I get the fill taken out and replaced to the right

level. It hurt off and on all week, and I had a hard time getting in

enough fluids. Other times something has been stuck it has been for a

much shorter time.

What would I do? If you can get adequate fluids in to not get

dehydrated, and you can stand the pain, see if it clears up in a day

or three. If you can't get the fluids in or can't deal with the pain,

call your doctor right away.

Simply put, " PAIN " means something is wrong. The stomach seems to be a

lot more sensitive after banding, and a lot of people can no longer

tolerate the gastric irritants. With tighter fills, this seems even

more so.

Many of us still using the gastric irritants (a lot of coffeee,

alcolhol, etc) may have a chronic gastritis going on, which they don't

even knowe about. MY GI doc, who asees several band clients, becuase he

has done endoscopies s a followup when no symtptoms were presnet, and

found some bad gastritises.

What I'm guessing happened is that you just badly irritated your

stomch/pouch/stoma. ANY time this happens, for ANY reason, it is wise

to return to liquids only for a day or two to allow a rest and healing

period.

You might alsoi get some OTC Pepcid compete chewables and take one in

the am and one in the pm. This will coat and soothe your stomach, and

promote healing - and it will NEVER hurt.

I'd suggest avoiding stuff like this in the future, and maybe assessing

your intake now of coffee and alcolhol - adn maybe cutting back if it's

more than occasional.

Some people get away with a cup or normal coffeee daily, bit more than

that could easily be hurting the stomach.

Always up t you, though!

I'm sure you'll be fine in a day or two.

I've also found that I'm MUCH more sensitive to spicy/hot things since

being banded. Even before banding I was more sensitive than I was

thirty years earlier. Guess some of that is just aging. But it is

greatly exacerbated. Last night our bandster group met at an italian

restaurant, and everything was good....but MUCH too spicy for me. I

didn't even take the leftovers home, as I knew I'd just be asking for

trouble.

Since you mention jerky, I've switched from the pepper jerky that I

used to have before banding to the teriyaki jerky. Also, whenever

possible I get turkey jerky, which is better in many ways, and I, at

least, can't tell the difference.

Thanks Dan,

I was unaware of the coffee thing?.... I only have half a cup a day is

that too much? It helps in the morning to loosen up a little.

What are the ill effects of coffee?

I will try the pepcid. I am feeling a little better this afternoon.

Had yogurt for breakfast and cup of thin soup for lunch. I will stay

on liquids for the rest of today and probally tomorrow.

Thanks for the imput. I feel better, and learned a lesson the hard

way.

Coffee bothers some people, not others. Just like hot and spicy

foods, some can handle them, some can't. I used to (say twenty years

ago) drink at least a dozen cups of coffee a day. Then I was doing a

twelve pack of Diet Coke a day instead. I do very little caffeine at

all, though have a cup of coffee once a month or so. In general,

coffee irritates my stomach, so I don't do it. I also don't need the

" upper " as I'm pretty much on a permanent upper, just by the way I'm

made. Also, things that get me up like that make me want to eat more.

I'd say that if the coffee doesn't bother you, why not? As to warm

things helping to loosen you up, that's true with any warm liquid. I

often have a cup of 75 calorie sugar free hot chocolate in the morning

if I need something besides water. It helps to dissolve my morning

pills.

But you'll learn what works for you and what doesn't, and it'll

probably be different than what does for me.

Coffee is a bad gastric irritant. some can tolerate small amounts,

but you're having trouble - so I'd suggest replacing it with another

hot or cold liquid - herbal tea? Hot sugar-free lemonade? a glass of

nonfat milk? Sugar-free Tang? (All before3 the meal, of course).

Coffee is the first thing a GI doc will have you stop if you are

having GI problems. These types of irritants cn cause gastritis, lead

to ulcers, and even stomach cancer. IMO, best to avoid, especially

with the Band.

Go to the Biorhythms and click start then go to the center of the atom and click it 11 to 14 times it brings up Calculate Compatibility type in partners name and click the Calculate Compatibility. Now you have the choice to see the Partner's Biorhythm or do the Fuse Consciousness Together since both buttons appeared.

Hi Premrup,

From the bio-rhythms

page, you have probably noticed that there is a picture of an atom that you can

double click on to access a display of planetary influences for the day, which

appears in a column on the left of the screen~ next to the main bio-rhythms

display.  If you click that same atom 11 additional times (11 for the 11 main

bio-rhythms) you will see a new button + 2 data entry lines appear in the top

center of the page with the instruction to “insert name of partner”. 

Beneath that is a 2nd

line where you input the birthdate of the partner.  You then click “calculate

compatibility”, which pops up 2 new buttons:  1.) partner’s

biorhythm (which, if you click it, will display the biorhythms of the partner)

and “fuse consciousness together”.  5 areas of compatibility are also

displayed beneath these buttons (biorhythm, numerological, astrological, Chinese

astrological, and total).  You would then click the “fuse consciousness

together” button, which displays 5 new measurements of different levels

of bonding:  emotional, mental, spiritual, physical and intellectual, plus a

new “start” button.  You would continue to click the “start”

button until all 5 areas of bonding reflect a number of 85 or higher. 

Best Regards,

Gage
