@WindsThatBlow, you were courageous giving that job a try. I wish I had that courage. In any case, you tested it out and made a decision on your current needs.

@otroo, it's horrible how much we must be tested and hurt by losses. You've sadly been hurt too much during your only 40 something years. Hugs!

@BethRags, let's both do a rain dance! Czech Republic needs a lot, too. Our forecast calls for some, finally, but we've had our hopes disappointed many times over. My sister said she bought a rain cape for my visit to New Jersey because NJ does seem to get oodles more, and sometimes too much. I thought that purchase funny, but I'll be hoping to use it.

@Sapien, I had issues with heavy bleeding the whole time I had an IUD, to the point of needing a prescription iron supplement for anemia. It continued a bit after the removal, but did eventually calm.

@~Christina, those dental bills are a b****! One year I spent $3,000 for two root canals in my two front teeth. My husband has been procrastinating getting a crown. In the US, they quoted almost $5,000. It will be much cheaper in Czech Republic if he stops putting it off. I'm sorry that pituitary tumor is still an issue for you. Remember I used to have a small one? Mine miraculously disappeared about six months after stopping Invega, but I read that that was a rare luck. My endocrinologist said that if it grew large it would need removal. I hope it doesn't come to that for you, but the surgery he described didn't sound overly scary. Only a little.

@Miguel'smom, please stay safe.
