I was an EMT and CMT at the time...they took me seriously, and even said they were happy to learn something in the process. I was their 1st Lyme patient, so I got to be a guinea pig!
Most don't even take the nurses seriously. The rare one appreciates his/her knowledge and skills.

Their nicotine is good too! Not peppery.
I went and checked them out too. I think that's where I'll order from when I buy more. It's a few dollars cheaper than what I've ordered in the past.

Just compared the prices... what I paid $55 for they have for $35. Way cheaper.

Yeah, they're selling vg and pg for 1/3 the price I was paying, and nic base for 1/4 what I was paying. Great! Especially if it tastes the same.

I keep getting a "zip is not valid for Alabama and United States" error when trying to calculate shipping :facepalm:

oh yeah..duh..I'm not in Alabama...go on have a laugh :p
I couldn't scroll thru the states on my iPad, I had to use my phone to calculate it....but it's still in my cart until I can afford it.

Sadly, mine was misdiagnosed as flu or possible fibromyalgia for months before they told me they predicted it as ALS and sent me home to "make arrangements".... After 24 hours straight online (because I refused to accept ALS) I called and asked them for one last blood test for Lyme. I hadnt been in a high risk area, I never even had the bullseye, just a small bug bite looking spot that went away, so I knew it was a long shot. Sure enough, I came back positive and they sent another sample to CDC to confirm by their criteria. I was off the charts positive...lol...I never do anything halfway. I'm allergic to most antibiotics, deathly allergic to penicillin, so we had to be creative when I went on IV antibiotic treatment. Hopefully, your little guy won't have long term effects because they caught/treated so quickly.

Wow ..im glad you were persistent. I always wonder how many misdiagnoses they do make...they are human but some doctors take the easy way out and tell you what pops in their head. Don't get me wrong, I have the utmost respect for most doctors but I also think we have to take control of our health and research everything especially for long shots - it's always worth bringing things to their attention. I so remember being so sick back in 1995 ... They thought I had Cancer- then they thought it was my heart because I was in congestive heart failure on and off for about 9 mos ..I would no sooner come home from the hospital and I'd get sick again and I'd be right back in. There was no internet back then and I had to rely on the library to get information and then most books were too advanced for me and written for those with medical degrees...so I think the Internet is great to find out everything you can....I had a heart operation I didn't need and the very real scare of cancer. I kept telling them I thought I was it was my thyroid but no one cared what I said ...as it turned out I did end up having my thyroid removed after going to an endocrinologist and all my symptoms went away. So...you were so right to ask for more tests and Bless you that you figured it out!

Sweetie, I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I've been through 2 rounds of cancer, so I KNOW when something is wrong with me...lol...I totally agree people need to be proactive and not take everything at face value. I went home with an ALS diagnosis and spent the next 2 days signing living wills and advanced directives and looking into wheelchairs and home health care. My son was in kindergarten, and I was determined to live, if not for me, then for him. Especially us women, I've had afew docs that brushed off symptoms and told me it was " hormones"... That's how my first cancer was missed. We need to fight, and advocate, and not shut up!!!

I'm going through VG pretty quickly too. I bought two 43 oz bottles from ED a little over a month ago and I've already gone through half of the first bottle. Next purchase I think I'm gonna go with the $39 special for 2 one gallon containers with free shipping.
I have been going through VG quickly too. I got around 16 ounces (1pint) of VG in August, and I used the rest of it tonight. I have such a list of things I need to get. I got to add VG to that list now! When I finally get to vape shop I end up checking off items on my list of needs instead of wants. By time I get the list checked off completely it just starts over again! Lol

When I was in college full time student and working two jobs (yea, I was a lil over worked! Lol), one day one of my eyes started twitching and would not stop for like 2 weeks. I figured it was a vitamin deficiency and stress. So, I went to the doctor, and the doctor gathered 2 nurses and together they googled my eye twitch....right in front of me....... it was absolutely ridiculous. Lol Told me "according to google it could be many different things", and to come back if ot continued to twitch! Haha I never went back. I had very little time, and after making time to go get it checked out and getting google treatments was such a waste of time! Lol

My brother was a diabetic and lost a few toes due to nerve damage. He got the biggest kick out of telling children who asked that a shark had bit them off :) Of course, after telling them they were bitten off by a shark, a long story of the event followed. The kids would be so enthralled. He never would let on what really happened.
