Hubby update. I don't know if I mentioned the arthritis in his hands. Swollen knuckles,weak and painful wrists and bone spurs in his thumbs.

It's hard to tell how much better his hip is with the sciatica but his hands and wrists are considerably better.

Happy to hear his wrists and hands are doing better Fran. Great news! I surely wish the sciatica would stop giving him such a problem. That is miserable discomfort!

Here is just something simple to explain. What happens to some people it can cause muscle damage. The heart is a major muscle. Other countries promote using q10 with statin use. YMMV but I personally would never take a statin without it. DH cannot tolerate the statins anyway. We are using other alternative methods to reduce his cholesterol.
Coenzyme Q10

I did talk to a woman on FB who started a group because her husband died from statin therapy. For most people they can tolerate these drugs. However, for some it's not the case.

Oops! I forgot to congratulation Toto! Yeah girl! You did good :)

thank you for answering my questions directly. i will ask my dr. about it tomorrow.

Congrats on the 3 years 5card!!! It is an awesome feeling isn't it. My 2 year was this month-the lst of January for last cig after having received my kit for Xmas, and the 12th for ECF. I still can't believe it at times after trying for so hard for so many years to quit. The support here at ECF was/is priceless.....

Congrats on your 2 years. That is great! :thumbs:

I know what you mean. My step pop enjoyed way too many adult beverages. I had one uncle who committed suicide from a drunken rage. The other uncle died from cirrhosis of the liver at age 42. I am so glad I don't drink. However, I do have empathy for those who cannot stop.

Maybe I can borrow some of your empathy, I'm fresh out of it. I think it's different when it's your spouse tho.

My bad cholesterol is at an ok level, but my good one is low. I take fish oil caps now, as every statin they pushed on me gave me those ripping pains in my leg muscles. mod, try keeping your fish oil caps in the freezer to help with the fish burps :)

And forgive me Toto...I forgot to congratz you too...CONGRATZ!

I am sorry Bov. I can understand the frustration. My bio pop was a drinker as well and abused my mother. Not cool at all. I have a general empathy but I do possess disgust as well.

I had a bunch to say and to reply to....... But Damn !!!! I so exhausted from paying for TT's socialables that I gotta just watch from the sideline.

That's okay Wharf Rat. In three more days it will be Monday and you can get back to resting again!

But in the meantime I'm enjoying those Sociable Securities!!

With all the other ailments I have I'm always told my heart is extremely good. Different docs throughout the yrs. have all said I have a slow solid beat and I have no cholesterol or diabetes problems either. But my mother had a good heart but her heart is what took her. They said there was nothing wrong with it but it just quit working. She went to sleep and that was it. I just let the good Lord look after my life and when he says times up then I'm ready.

I'm not afraid to pass on .....

I just don't want to pass on and then find out I've been sent to Alamogordo, New Mexico. :evil:

Third shift checking in !!!!!

Good old Direct TV...Yeah it's been a month since I last beeched about them...My bill before the fiasco was $89....I lost $10 for removing the auto pay....then I was granted -$10 for whatever reason I can't remember now but the bottom line is my bill was to remain at $89 for 10 months....Bill this month $99....I would love to see what they steal per month from their customers...

4 days back I ordered a worm gear for a speedometer offin' ebay...Got it yesterday...3 days ago I ordered a used Corbin Gunfighter seat for my HD...I checked at the evening coffee break and it still hadn't shipped so I shot the seller a message...He promptly shot back that it had shipped today and he would send a tracking # tomorrow....Last I shipped I received the tracking # then and there....When I post an item it's packed and ready for shipment...I get the money and it's a bat outta hades too the post...and I never charge for shipping...$25 and take your time....I'm betting when a tracking # does show it's shipped on 2/1...A lie will get major negative feedback...I'm tired of being lied too...Between my last customer, Direct and now this guy...Sheesh K boB !!!! Down on the farm as a kid I learned a valuable lesson about lyin'...I had many cousins whom often visited for a few days...Many, many times things were done that shouldn't have been...My Granny was always on top of the game and knew who to ask about what...many times I saw an azz get whipped for lyin'....I preferred then and now to let the others make mistakes...Myself I find it best to stick with the truth...Unless it's the law and then I'll take the 5th....

Sorry for the rant,,,It's late again and it was a long day......I paid none of T's sociables but still got a ton o sheet done...I'm a bit scattered at this point....

I checked the voltage of the Spinner....When set at 4.2 it's 4.6....Cheep Chinese Cheet !!!!!!!!!!! I wanted too run a fresh T3 against 2 tanked Boges...One tired one still fairly fresh...The Boge is ahead at this point but the T3 may gain with a little break in....

LOL, LD. It sounds like you so tired as the Wharfster would say.

Not your typical third shifter here but I went to sleep earlier and am back up. Hopefully not for long though.

I thought that I would check in with my friends here and let them know that I am still around :)

Have a good Friday everyone! As TT would say, Monday is closer than you think.
