Hello MsJ and Jeff!!! Jeff i also gained about 35 pounds after being put on a mood stabilizer. I'm bigger now then i have ever been. I used to a skinny minny but i don't have that problem anymore.....It sucks!

I'm okay, had some stomach issues yesterday and hoping that they won't carry over to today. I lived on ramen yesterday, which is not good bc of the sodium in it, I won't be surprised to get on the scale and have gained another 3 lbs. Dylan wasn't feeling well either yesterday, he stayed home, but went back to school this morning. I had a good session with my tdoc. Niecy I know how you feel about those gloomy days, they have really been affecting me too. I'm fairly stable, but more towards the depressed side. Think alot of it has to do with the season.

Dental insurance sucks. I agree with you on that, Niecy. I'm sorry you have to wait until payday to go. I appreciate being in those circumstances.

Does your dentist have any kind of a monthly payment program -- where you don't have to pay the whole bill all at once -- just payments of an agreed upon amount?

I hope you and your son get to feeling better today. I just got over a severe sinus infection that worked into bronchitis. I had my flu shot this year for the first time...Now i need to get my son to get one too...

Yes, MsJ, sorry you and Dylan were not feeling well. My hope is that you'll both be doing better today.

Glad you had a good session with your tdoc.!

Yes, the season affects tons of people this time of year!

I made Dylan get a flu shot last year and he resisted. Not sure if it's worth the fight this year. I got mine in October.

We are having chilly weather here, 29 this morning, but will be in the damp 50's this afternoon.

They don't have a payment plan to speak of. But they do have bank financing if you qualify type thing. I qualified, somehow, but i'm not anxious to pay 3000 dollars and owe that back to the bank. We have credit card debt already. Especially since it is Christmas.

I have my fireplace stoked already this morning, the key to helping my fibro is to keep it dry and warm in the house.

It is a balmy 19 degrees here, but the wind chill makes it feel like 7 degrees. It's supposed to go up to a whopping 28 degrees and be overcast.

I understand, Niecy, but this is kind of an emergency. I mean, if you are in that much pain, well, you may want to consider the possibility. I am more concerned that you are in pain. I know what it's like. And tooth pain has got to be one of the worst.
