My 52 year old son, Bill told me that he suffers from CRS, " Can't Remember

Unless you're almost 70 like me, it's OK to swat at " bugs that aren't there " , if

you get a strange look you can always say your were waving at a friend and get

by with it but when you get my age you have to be more careful. I even worry

about laughing out loud sitting here all alone or saying " Oh NO " , when the home

team misses a touchdown and looses the game. Dolores

LOLOL... I think I fit in that category really well, too. And then, there's

still that PMS... Putting up with mens sh**. Of course, I'm single, and no

victim.... errr, men in the picture, so I can't say I have that problem, either.

Actually, I'm spoiled, and so used to living on my own, that it'd take a real

special guy to be able to put up with ME! LOL.

I get so amazed at women my age divorcees and widows going out to this and that

to meet another man??? I miss my husband sooo very much as I had been in love

with hime since I was 12 years old and it took him a loong while to notice me

but by the time I was 14 I was starting to look more his age and even though he

was ahead of me in school and I was still in the same grade as " his little

brother " but by the time I was 16 and I just quit chasing after him he started

to notice me and we would have been married 50 years if he had live until May

but I lost him in January. It was hard to adjust to being alone after that long

but it's getting better and like you I sure wouldn't want another one. Dolores

Keeping it in the bottle it was dispensed in is considered the safest

way to dispose of medications. I read at one time that there was so

much valium in ground water as to almost be at a theriputic dispensing

level. That was back when we WERE told to flush unused meds.

If that was a good many years back and in Topeka that would have been my doing

as I " flushed " two and one-half prescriptions of generic valium that my Mother

had been hoarding and getting at the same pharmacy from three diddferent doctors

and no one could figure out why she was wondering around in a " daze " . I

promptly put a stop to that nonsense fast! Dolores

My son takes 5000 mcg of B-12 per day. Some people

have found that it helps with psych issues. Don't know

if it is helping but he's been much better. It

probably has more to do with the rest of the mito

cocktail, but....

You say " A person in crisis costs thousands of dollars PER DAY to treat,

whereas one not in crisis, costs maybe a couple hundered dollars a month. "

But I think g'vner and his cronies have an EVEN cheaper alternative: Make it

so difficult to get crisis treatment, that the person gives up! How cheap is

THAT?

This is the soft under-belly of the whole HMO argument, as originally used

to support the approach. Namely that it would be easier and cheaper to keep

people healthy, and treat their symptoms early before they got worse, rather

than pay the horrendous costs of, say, an extensive cancer treatment. Yeah,

but...it's REALLY cheap to ignore them and stall them until they are so sick

that they will die quickly.
