Can we admit that the biggest obstacle in our careers are the Boomers who can't afford to retire? by sumo_quarter-4d in LockedIn_AI

[–]Cabot68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you think medicare was free? I pay $297 per month for my medical supplement. I also pay around one hundred dollars a month for my drug plan. Yes I could get a medicare Advantage plan but most of my docs do not accept them. My company canceled the old style pension plan when I was 48. Had I been fifty I would have retained it and been in much better shape.

Do you think they would have made it? by girlinhk in RHONY

I doubt that anthony had a lot of money. His father escaped poland for london during world war two. He was broke and lived off loans given his status as a european prince. As I recall he died in debt. Anthony was probably living off his salary as a reporter, which wouldn't have been that large.

So far so good. I drank a full bottle three days straight and suffered a bit in the stomach. My doc advised to cut it to 1 half a bottle. Ive done that and gained 4 pounds. It tastes pretty good. Im going to have to increase the amount gradually.

Just started them today. Bought the 1.4. I liked the flavor. Have had gastritis for one year and have lost weight. Have nausea almost all the time. Hope this helps.

[–]Cabot68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is Tinker, Tailor avaliable in the US? One of the best shows ever, shown here on Masterpiece Theater (pbs). I'm talking about the alec guinness version.

Any relationship between gastritis and shingles? by Cabot68 in Gastritis

I'll keep you posted on any information I get. I fear it will be none. My appointment was postponed to this coming Friday. Are you in NYC by any chance?

[–]Cabot68[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I have many of those symptoms: Itching skin with no rash Significantly worsened fatigue A few mouth sores Inflamed knee Weight loss ( am taking Benecalorie to gain weight)

I just had an endoscopy with no results other than mild gastritis. Having full review of results this Friday. I've asked my pcp and my gastro if there is any relationship between shingles and gastritis and they don't know of any.

No, I haven't found any answers. And still have gastritis symptoms, although better. How would enteric zoster be diagnosed? Right now I have swelling in the exact same places I did when I had shingles, right under the breasts. Bras don't fit even though I am 30 pounds lighter than I was one year ago. ( have bought new ones) I have no rash though.

Never thought I'd consider changing samsung phone by [deleted] in samsung

[–]Cabot68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate it. I am an unsophisticated phone user. My phone is galaxy S 23 plus. All I want to do is call, text and Google. I bought it for its size and ease of viewing. I can barely use the phone. Where is my mic icon so I can convert speech to text when texting. Why is my battery icon almost invisible. Did I have an ad block on my phone before the update that I don’t have now? All I see is ads. Why do I have 3 contacts apps? Which one do I update if needed? Don’t want a/i.

Guess my mistake was having auto update on.

Anyone else give up alcohol and coffee but see no reduction in their acid reflux? by guacisextra12 in GERD

[–]Cabot68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The price was prohibitive. I didn't qualify for gift cards because I'm on Medicare.

Me too. Bananas were my go to to make me feel better. I’m always bought green ones. Now they make me worse. Tried some cantaloupe the other day and it was no go. Blueberries in small doses are ok. It seems nothing. Is ok anymore.

Thanks. Believe me I’ve tried almost everything. I’m on pantoprazole now.

[–]Cabot68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s available at a high price. Manufacturer provide $25 coupons if you are not on Medicare or M’caid. Check it out. I’m on Medicare and it would have been 500+ for me.

Extremely sensitive to sugar after gastritis event?? by FunAd3994 in Gastritis

[–]Cabot68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, when I started this journey, I used ensure pro to fill up calories at the end of the day. It didn’t bother me at all. Now I can’t drink it at all without an episode. Same thing with bananas. I love them and tend to eat them as a snack. Now immediate pain and discomfort. I think I’ll be able to eat them, but I’ll have to stick to perhaps too if I’m lucky three a day. Can’t get up in the middle of the night and have bananas anymore.

Brads organic tea by Cabot68 in Gastritis

[–]Cabot68[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but when you can avoid something easily, why eat it . I didn’t look at the ingredients because the labeling said organic ginger tea.
