They fixed that but she reacted to something they gave her that the skin on the tops of both feet blistered and sloughed off in like 24 hours and had other large areas that look like 2nd degree burns. Her body is more "ink outline" of other discolored regions than not.

It has been almost 5 years and she is in a much better place now and the drugs are acting more as a hindrance than they are to helping her. Also, because they are pretty heavy duty they have some bad health related side effects that are causing way more issues than they are solving and she could deal with it before but now she just cant.

    Her doctor wanted her to do this like a year ago but she put it off out of fear of the side effects of the withdrawal. (plus she quit smoking around then and didnt want double issues) To put it in perspective she takes 3 pills a day for her prescription...the recommended way to ween is to cut out 1 pill. She did that and no joke it took less than 24 hours for the withdrawal to kick in. And there is nothing they can do to take the edge off.

    She is better today than she was yesterday and by the end of the week she should be back to normal. I am not going to be around much this week which is a blessing for her cause sometimes I can be a pain
    when people struggled like this I used to have them try to take liquid and decrease the dose by a ml at a time* or if it was splitable then decrease by very small increments. Some people are super sensitive and coming off can feel like sh1t- flu like, dizzy, irritable, physically ill. I would liken it to having a cast on a limb and then expecting to take it off and have the limb be fine. Doesn't happen. It takes awhile for the body's systems to wake up and react like they should.

    Smart to wait til after the smoking thing.

    *I used to do this to start sensitive people and take them off. The GPs used to say I was nuts but it worked and one of the psychiatrists called me brilliant so there must have been something to it.

      Oh I know, it is just the joke we tell to make her laugh.

        They thought it was but are still considering her "undiagnosed".

          How much is that testing going to cost?

            Well, if you think of it, it will be much more cost effective than dicking around and hoping to make the correct educated guess. Of course that is logical so they probably won't cover it until they are sued.

                  No. Amazon would refund I think, but most sellers won’t. Filed a police report.
                  and yes now all my packages will be held at ups or fed ex location

                      It happens a lot in Minneapolis this time of year. I might put out a box on my front step full of dog poop with a note inside.

                        Amazon is now offering a service where you place a digital lock on your door, and the delivery man will drop off your package inside your front door. I'm not sure that idea's any better - you have to TRUST that Amazon has done some really solid background checks, not TSA background checks. And it's only available in certain cities.

                            Or what about dogs that when they bark killer bees come shooting out of their mouths?

                              I've seen ads on TV with a wireless doorbell/camera/speaker that supposedly wakes up your remote device and you can scare off the robber.

                              However, most devices have a lag time so the thief is long gone before you get notified.

                                A few people in my hood did that last year and posted the videos of the person stealing packages.
                                These *******s follow the delivery trucks around. I hate people.
                                And as much as I hate ups, their app is great and having all packages sent to a ups store now was a five second breeze. Fed ex on the other hand..
