I am still sitting here slack jawed at the complete stupidity of our

government and its officials. I have first hand seen blatant abuse

of Soc Services that go unnoticed by the " watchdogs " of the SS

Admn. Then here you stand; with your history and they throw every

imaginable curve ball. There is something seriously wrong with a 36

year old man who stands 6'7 " weighs 280# who braggs about

benchpressing 310# who is still getting medicare and SSI for a belly

gsw he received when he was in his 20's during a gangland drug war.

I do not understand that type of system. Kimber I hope and pray

that you receive all the assistance you need and deserve. If there

is any time that you are in despiration you let me know. What blood

thinner are you taking? I have heard a lot of good things about

Plavix, its new, Levaquin is very good as well. I hope you and your

family are having a blessed Thanksgiving. Its not about the feast

its about the giving and the thanking.

Warmly

Kimber,

Your statement that your GYN was thinking about putting you on birth control

pills to help bring back your menstral cycle intrigued me. Isn't he/she

concerned about the possiblitiy of increasing your blood clotting potential? Or

are birth control pills different than they were thirty years ago?

The reason I ask is because I had some severe problems with phlebitis

earlier in my life, requiring hospitalization and anticouagulant injections.

During my child bearing years, my GYN wouldn't let me take the pill, due to

his concern about my clotting problems. Consequently, we considered

naming our first born " Delfen " , until better judgement interceded! I have

never taken birth control pills, because of the potential for clotting.

Has the formula changed so that this is no longer a risk?

With hope and prayers,

Heidi

I no longer have a menstral cycle due to a combo of malnutrition and anemia

according to my gynecologist. They are thinking about possibly putting me

on birth control to bring it back, but there's the possibility that might

aggravate

my pancreas, so no decision has been made yet. When I did have my cycle

while on the blood thinners my cramps were much worse, but I had a lot less

blood clots than I used to.
