Due to a broad campaign and policy of science denial, many states and our federal government have created conditions that will result in COVID hanging around much, much longer than it would have otherwise. Fauci should have been making all decisions on this crisis, as any thoughtful physician or nurse would freely agree. In short, Republicans' conscious decision to care more about Trump's reelection than Americans dying of this illness will result in tens of thousand of additional and unnecessary deaths and greater economic harm. And before you whine at me, as I have said before, I am a lifelong Republican.

Why would I whine at you? I generally don't whine, anyway. Have I come across as whining a lot here? Let me know if so, and that will be rectified. I guess I do, on rare occasions, biiiiiiitch but c'est la vie. I see a difference between whining and "that which is so bad that it is replaced by asterisk marks so that tender ears won't be horrified, unless I add seven letters" i" between letters "b" and "ch". [For the record, I rarely even curse, as if that word in that usage, was even a curse word. The children of the world will survive! I guarantee! No extra therapy likely needed because of bad ole' me.] Boo! [No, I am not really scary, either.] In any case, I agree with what you wrote regarding the covid 19 crisis. I don't care who is which of the two
only political party choices in a huge country. I do care that people get the right info and make reasonable humane decisions.
I complained to my psychiatrist that I had been getting excessively tired too early at night. [I was fine in the morning and early afternoon.] I asked if I could get rid of the morning 50 mg Seroquel XR dose. He said yes, so I removed it. Now I am a bit mildly "up". I'll see how it goes. If poorly, I will email him to see if I should restore it or rather add it to my 650 mg at night.
I'm sorry to read that you also deal with neuropathy, plus a limb movement disorder. My husband actually does take Neurontin for his neuropathy, but I think he may need a higher dose. He is very reluctant to take large doses. They have been prescribed but he still takes less. He's been taking only about 700 mg per day, when I think over 1,000 mg would serve him better. At first, he only took 300 mg. Is there anything you have found helpful for your neuropathy? As for my husband's pain, it is sad if the statin and Lipitor are the culprits. They have really worked well at improving his blood pressure and cholesterol.
