She commented on my caffeine free sodas and told me that she had been plagued by UTI's for years but when she cut out all caffeine for other reasons she hadn't had a single UTI since. It might have been coincidence but if you consume caffeine you might want to give it a try.<BR/><BR/>I know how you feel about healthcare costs. Our keeps going up and up. We also have BCBS of MA---how weird is that? It boils down to if we get sick they will pay for it but most of the diagnostic tests to determine that we are sick or to identify what we are sick from will be paid for by us up to a certain yearly deductible per person. If we are still alive at that point they will pay most of our hospitalization. As for meds we can have anything our doctors orders as long as we pay for it out of pocket---otherwise we can have them pick from the approved drug list. But it could be worse so I best not complain---it's just we used to have great BCBS insurance back when we were younger and healthier and now that we are needing it they are charging us a lot more and paying for less and less.Bekihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07866964749200566242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434495502175776916.post-42692942656242848172008-11-21T10:03:00.000-08:002008-11-21T10:03:00.000-08:00JW: Thanks, I was worried that this was just anot...JW: Thanks, I was worried that this was just another crazy rant that only interested me.<BR/><BR/>FW2: Hey! Long time no see. You're right about the health care.<BR/><BR/>Gail: Ah, I don't want to give up my green and purple and orange towels. Haven't grown up yet, maybe :) I am "lucky" in that I get a headache within moments of my first sip of nutrasweet drinks, so I have never taken to diet sodas. I wish there was something I could cut out that would make it work. I do think the key could be unobstructed breathing, rather than the "light obstruction" I currently have. I've been dreaming of being "fixed" for 10 years or more now. The acupuncture made me almost normal, but not quite.CrankyOtterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02863609824154763580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434495502175776916.post-3381101694629197022008-11-21T08:20:00.000-08:002008-11-21T08:20:00.000-08:00That's why I buy white towels for the bathrooms wi...That's why I buy white towels for the bathrooms with white fixtures and beige for the bathrooms with beige - etc <BR/>Sorry you're having so many small issues with keeping everything running perfectly.
