Reply #25 - Jan 21^st, 2009 at 10:19pm Hey Jim, Good to see you back here. Check out the med board, there are lots of new non med treatments. Melatonine Kudzu, Magnesium and Redbull are just a few of them. I take Magnesium 800 mg a day and Verapamil 480mg a day and have become almost PF. Before starting the Magnesium I was up to 12 hits a day. Paul

Ok Update covering last few years: took a job near Indianapolis after a month of doing it as an interim director of health information (medical records) at a hospital. Spent two years there but they were having severe financial problems with their hospital-owned physician practices losing millions, so I jumped ship and went with a national health information consulting company out of Philly. The had me do a 4 month gig out at Scripps Hospital in San Diego, CA, whcih was kind of cool as I got to the US Open at Torrey Pines as it is right in back of the hospital. But it was also hard as I was flying back to either Indy or New Hampshire every week and you know how travel sucks... so after this gig ended, this company I had joined had no more assignmments for me and I was laid off - they never told me my job was dependent on them having clients! So here I sit on unemployment, no med. ins., barely scrpaing by with my mortgage, trying to sell my hosue and return to NH in a terrible real estate and economic market. Looking for jobs but at 53 now it's getting harder. Couldn't keep my dogs due to the travel (Min. Schnauzers - they're with my ex in NH) and being without them is a real bummer. So I live alone in a beautiful new 2500 sq. foot house, in a great neighborhood, but I want to be in New Hampshire or at least New England near my 3 sons - not a Midwesterner - New England born and bred. My youngest son who is now 23 is in Scotland with his girlfriend and I understand he wants to stay and get his masters degree - education cheaper there than here. All my relative live in England....so I am hoping they all hook-up - I've facilitated it, now it's on him to follow through. I'm still divorced, not dating (hard when unemployed! Wink

and now with no med. ins. and having to drop the lamictal duee to it's cost (astronomical), I think that's why I am beginning to be hit again. On lamictal, I was pain free for 2 years, so the verapamil/clonodine/lamictal regimen did work for me. SO that brings me up to date with y'all...and again, thanks for all your welcome backs!!

Hey Jim it is soooo wonderful to see that you are back on the boards. I am sorry to hear that you are unemployed and having difficulties finding meds. We sold our house last year. It took 7 months for it to go when it usually took 3 months for houses to go in our neighborhood and we lost money on the sale of our home. Problem was we did a bridge loan and bought the new house before the market and economy tank out. Rotten luck. Point being just be patient and wait to sell. I am now the grandmother of two wonderful children. A boy and a girl. Today is the birthday of Joshua who is one. And Lila was just born last Fri. So wonderful things and exciting things are going on in my life.

Hi Jim it's nice to meet you. I'm the horrible one here!

Have you looked for help with the cost of the lamictal? There are a lot of programmes that you might be eligible for. I can't bear to think of people not having meds at least if there's anyway around it

Have a look at these sites for a start and I'll help you look for more if needed
