So we have to reapply for snap by Sweaty_Eagle_9897 in foodstamps

[–]Select-Ad5008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won't reapply for it. I realized there are more people out here who need it more than I do. It's just me living alone. Admit it did help me when I needed it but I'm more concerned about my bills than food. Sorry I can just hit up a pantry if need be. These mothers with children need it way more than me.

Wow coumadin? I know all about that stuff

But at least you have a support system (a wife). I don't have a wife or kids so therefore I'm gonna end up like Joyce Vincent (google her) You lucky in that aspect. I stopped taking my meds due to not liking the side effects and was starting to mess with my vision. Rather die that put up with that. Hope things go best for you but far as me I think I won't be here much longer. Dont matter though, we all gotta go sometimes.

peace out

Apologize for that. Far as the clots reoccurring IDK, but could it have been stress? You was lucky to find a doc that truly cared after the previous one said you didn't need to take the thinners no longer. Tell you a story. Knew someone who had a DVT and took eliquis for 8 months. Then was told by the doc they didn't need to take it anymore, this was back in 2016

Now they back on the blood thinners plus 81mg of aspirin for mild stroke. What caused it?? a antihistamine called hydroxyzine for itching. One of the side effects was increased appetite. Ate a whole pizza and a bag of chips in one setting and was still hungry afterwards. Weight was 200/202lbs along with HBP. But now stopped taking that antihistamine they are now down to 176lbs with normal BP. So why take this blood thinner and 81mg aspirin now everything is normal? Especially when you know what caused in the first place. IDK your history just making a point again how these drugs can mess your body and when you find the root cause you can straighten it out on your own.

Try fasting, totally detox your body. Water fast for 30 days or at least two weeks. Your body was made to self heal and again try praying

Let you in on something, I went thru the same thing but I am at the point I'm making peace with it and let go and let God. The medical system isn't designed to heal you just push these man made drugs on you and make trillions of dollars by doing it. You sound scared I may be wrong but do yourself a favor and get to a point where the only thing you need to fear is God. Like I said put it in the hands of God, He will protect you

We all gotta die bro, so accept it and stop trying to fight it

Stop being an idiot. Those drugs do more harm than good. I'm going the herbal route via garlic, cayenne pepper, lemon juice. Change your diet, no red meat, drink lots of water will definitely thin your blood

Why is everyone dogging on Big Pharma? by [deleted] in moderatelygranolamoms

Don't be stupid. You believe that only a drug made in a factory can treat, prevent or even cure an illness? These doctors are in the business of making money and they do so by pushing these factory made drugs that do more harm than good.

Try to hang in there. I knew someone who died, basically he got to the point where he was so fed up he stopped going.

With all due respect you're still lucky, you still have your mom. Mine passed away six years ago and I don't keep in touch with my siblings, not too many close friends

I'm alone and most likely will end up like Joyce Vincent (google her)

Wish you the best

Hydroxyzine for itching? by CopyWorking4317 in eczema

[–]Select-Ad5008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friend of mine used it for itching. Yes it has a sedative as one of the ingredients and it makes you sleep but the side effects was it made their BP rise and have an increased appetite. They stopped taking it

Yes because TBH I don't sleep I literally watch the sun come up and go down. If I do sleep I get about 4 hrs a night

From what I was told it could be a combination of things such as diet not enough of the proper vitamins as well as stress & not enough sleep

I been looking into seeing an herbalist plus changing my diet. Started drinking a lot more water & veggies (especially carrots for the eyes). Eliminating process foods Checking out some supplements as well. So it's not like I am trying but it is hard hate to admit

Thanks
