Guest guest Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Tom, See if your county has a program where you can pay for your meds on a basis of your income. Mine are $3. Another place to check is the pharmaceutical companies. There are several that now have programs to send the prescription meds either free or at low cost if you meet their qualifications. I think you and the doctor need to fill out the applications for that. Darlene New to group Hello My name is Tom I am 40 been a type 2 for about 15 years... My Dr says I wont see 50 My morning tests are about 180 with highs in the lower 300s I get a lot of drugs prescribed, but I cant afford most of them I walk an hour nearly every day I eat what I can afford Yes Im dying from it all does anybody have any suggestions?

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 What do you eat that you can afford, Tom? Maybe there are healthier food choices you can afford that you are not aware of. Maybe we can help.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Ann, I can understand your frustration. I hurt my back and gained almost 100 lbs in 3 years. I was down more than I was up and was living in my recliner. I had my RNY a month ago and am already seeing results. I actually took the stairs by choice today at work. Now it wasn't fast, and it wasn't pretty, but by God I took the stairs I will keep my fingers crossed for you as you go through this. it is a bit of a road, But I am already seeing the worth. Go for it, Lady ! New to Group [] Hi! My name is Ann, I just moved to Tulsa,Ok. with my boyfriend and 14 son and 15 daugther. My life has been a roller coaster, and now I am ready to get rid of one of the coaster rides in my life and that is my wieght issues. I have been overweight most of my life,went I started to have kids ,the weight went up and didnt go down. I was pretty much in self denile on how I really felt about my weight for a long time, tho I go thro the poor me thing ,I just ignored it. My heavist was 310 which I tried as many have all the diets that the supermarket tabloids and the book gurus told me that would make my life good. Even done the weight watchers and other type groups. But with limited success and with a tight budget,just got put aside. About 4 yrs I took a fall that tore my right knee up ,that I couldnt even walk or stand on it for 8 mos, no sooner had I had it out of the leg brace then I retore my knee again, another 10 mos be inmoble and here I am . I dont know how heavy I really am, several months ago I went to join Craig which I loved thier program ,they didnt have a scale that could weight me, because of funds I only did a week of eat but hope to restart it again as it will help with the meal control part. At this point in my life I know I weight over 410 or so ,with so limit moblitly life is basically living from sitting on my bed or to a comfy chair,before I had some moblitly because we had a house but we have moved to my boyfriends fathers house and we have the living room as our bedroom ,so this is now where I am stuck at. I can hardly stand for a few mins at a time. I am looking into gastric bypass here in Tulsa now, I was looking into it in Utah with a Dr. Halverson but for 2 yrs all I got was the runaround , I am hoping to find a quialfied doctor here. I am hoping to make friends and learn from others what they have learned from going thro this surgery and any tips or suggestions you all have. My other interests are, gourmet cooking, making fairys ,jewelery making,stained glass,Lampworking,polymor clay,crocheting,knitting,scrapbooking,drawing,sewing,painting,breeding and raising parrots( 10 pairs of birds)I have 3 ferrets,3 kitties, a sunconure. I guess I should end this long typed intro =) Thanks for letting me join and hope to get to know everyone! Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Mike Sun Conures live anywhere from 25 to 30 yrs, Well,I have a female cat and a blind kitten and a baby kitten, and they dont bother my birds at all. They know they would get eatten by the birds! LOL I also have a African Grey,( they can live up to 80 yrs,she will be going to on of my kids!) which I think is what your friend must have? Grau has over 400 word list from sounds to actual words and sentences! The kids have a dog ,I love dogs but this one I am not crazy about. About 4 yrs ago I lost my love Chrissy,she was a Short Haired German Spaniel,had saved her from the local SPCA in Utah when she was 8 wks old ,she died at the ripe age of 26 yrs old! Broke my heart didnt ever want another dog again, but now I am thinking about getting a puppy.
