RN Chili, I tried them years ago and was smoking while wearing 2 of them. LOL I think I'd just rather go cold turkey. Now if she wants to prescribe pills to help I'll try that. I just never could see the point in getting rid of a nicotine addiction with a nicotine patch. To me that's like saying have just a little drink while you try to quit drinking. LOL BTW, did I say how much I love the nuns next door? I love them and I'm a southern protestant! They are just so nice!

RN Pills may be a better idea for you then. I know Wellbutrin is the same as Ryban and it does help me in some instances. Whatever you decide, I'm here to support you. Been there, done it and know how much fun it is. RN It's so nice to have pleasant neighbors. I have some nice, some not so nice. I just pretend this is my street and they are here at my whim. LOL

RN I just pretend I'm not going to be here much longer. LOL I keep hoping hubby will get a good paying job out of the city so I can be a country girl. Oh boy, do I need that.

RN Let me add that I also really want to get out of this county. The county executives ACT like a bunch of crooks.

RN When I lived in south Georgia there were issues with county officials. I think the sheriff of whatever county Valdosta is in was arrested for owning a gambling establishment, being involved in prostitution and a few other things. This was a long, long time ago. RN One of our local politicians is in trouble for embezzling from some fund. RN You just can't trust those pesky politicians. At least I don't. RN Every winter I pretend it's my last one here but I know it really isn't. I have a freshman in high school I have to get rid of first so that means a few more years here.

RN War, are you sick, hon? RN Dang, Chili! You made a huge geographical leap. Bigger than mine. I only went from FL to NY and you went from GA to Alaska!!

RN, nah Twinks. My youngest niece had to go to the doctor today with pink eye, mine have been going crazy since sis called me this morning with what I'm hoping to heck is just sympathy itching, lol. Everytime anyone mentions those words, I get like this. Only thing that worries me is that she spent the weekend with us and she wasn't looking so good then, but that could have been the cold.

RN Wargod I think you need to fully flush out your eyes by drinking an extra large margarita and going to bed. RN Twinkie I went from Missouri to Alaska to Maine to Texas to Missouri to Georgia to Texas to Georgia to Alaska. LOL There were some other moves in there somewhere. RN Now I want to buy a houseboat and float around the Gulf of Mexico for a while. If I ever get to you can come join me.

RN Cripes, War. I hope it is just sympathy itching, too. Pink eye is so dang contagious. I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya.

RN pffftt, Chili! ROFL! Flush out your eye with a margarita! You're killing me here! Honey, I'd LOVE to join you on a houseboat going anywhere warm! ETA: I meant drinking a margarita! Yeah, that'll flush those eyes right out!

RN Well, I figured it couldn't hurt. At least you may not care so much about your eyes itching. Any kind of relief in a storm, right?

RN You know it! Well, I really should try to get to sleep. Although, its not like I'm sleeping too little. The doc said its my body trying to heal itself making me sleep a lot. Fine by me. Sure beats the problem I used to have when I couldn't sleep at all.

RN Get some rest anyway. You've been fighting something for a while now and your body may need it even if you don't think so. Good night.

RN LOL Twinkie, I read that the first time the same way you did! I was sitting here thinking how that was one I've never heard before and owwww! Twinks, it is horribly contagious. We go through it about once a year and have to chase the kids with lysol for a week to stop it. If mine aren't better tomorrow, I'll go to the doctor. More than a day, it's not just sympathy itching, but for right now, I'm not too worried about it.

RN You should just trust me and go for the margarita. At least you won't be worried about it until tomorrow that way. Margaritas cure more than most people know about. LOL

RN, Twinks, did your doctor give you (or order one for you) a nebulizer? I know the other day you said they gave you a breathing treatment and sent you home with an inhaler so I was wondering. I know copd isn't the same as asthma, but it sounds like you're using some of the same meds for it, and I can tell you when Kota's dr switched her to the neb unless we were away from home and had to use the inhaler, it made all the difference in the world.

RN War, I'm on albuterol and asmanax inhalers and starting a new kind tomorrow when hubby picks up the script from the drug store. I can't remember the name but I'll let you know when I get it.

RN Twinks, Kota's got the albuterol, it makes her twitchy and slightly hyper. She only uses it though when she's at school or it we're out of town for the day, otherwise she's doing breathing treatments with the nebulizer. RN I'm thinking itchy eyes were just sympathy! They're dry this morning, a little scratchy, and a bit red, but not swollen or leaking gross stuff so that's a really good sign.

RN YAAAA War! No pink eye! I still like Chili's remedy. LOL The new script I'm getting is something new. You put a pill/pearl into the inhaler and it punctures the pill and you inhale. The asmanex I'll be off of after 14 more treatments and the albuterol I'll probably do forever along with the new one. The Asmanex is a steroid so she doesn't want me on it much longer. And tomorrow will be my last day of prednisone. Thank goodness! I hate that stuff! It makes me jumpier than a cat on a hot tin roof! Gives me the shakes too.

RN, yeah, Prednisone is bad like that. Dakota's been on it a few times and we're always happy when she gets off of it. When my sis was a kid (severe asthmatic) she used something just like your new one. Popped the pill into the inhaler, squeeze down and inhale and then remove the remains of the pill. She did that for a few years and absolutely hated it (though I can't remember why now, lol.)
