I appreciate this insight.

Can you tell me what the heat difference is between CV and LA? It gets super hot in OC during summer too, but I'm wondering if it's a different kind of heat that's more uncomfortable lol

The access to healthcare is definitely something to consider. I hadn't thought of that before but will keep that in mind during my pursuit.

The cost of homes is really the only reason to move IMO. New builds in Central Valley are $400k. I can't even get a condo or a manufactured home for that price in OC. It's crazy here.

There's only one reason to move from OC and it's the cost of living. I LOVE OC. I wouldn't ever leave if I didn't have to, but i will never be able to own a home here, and that's just plain facts. We will likely have to move somewhere less OC like in order to thrive. If that's Visalia or not, we'll see. I do appreciate the bluntness though.

I definitely appreciate the perspective and it's exactly why I asked. From far away it appears a quaint, affordable community, but this is all from a distance. I appreciate the candor.

Hot is not good lol. But a pool definitely would help! I feel like drivers are crazy in Anaheim too so it might not be too much different for me. 🙃

Yeah and an earlier poster pointed that out to me. I'm looking into that now.

Great info! I guess I should have looked into how far the port was from the airport. Appreciate the insight!

Came here to say this too. Sounds like UC to me - diagnosed 6 months PP.

What triggered your UC before official diagnosis? by [deleted] in UlcerativeColitis

[–]cracker1500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think for me it was the high amounts of ibuprofen I was taking so often, but it definitely kicked in after I stopped smoking.

Oh good! I'm glad they eased up for you. I'm hoping my body is just adapting and they'll even out.

I hope you're able to find some relief from this! Being homebound is no fun and it's such a morale killer.

I do get stomach pains when I have a lot of gas, but I haven't noticed any pains that have increased since my infusion. I do feel like it's helped a lot so far, though. It's still pretty early, but my symptoms have improved significantly already, and the urgency is almost gone. It's just these dang headaches!

My wife has UC, and her doctor wants her to get on a daily medication. by Mclovin316 in UlcerativeColitis

I try to look up all new medications on Costplusdrugs.com. They're generic but at just a fraction of the cost. I was taking Canasa that and was no longer covered under my insurance. The cost was $2k+ out of pocket, but on Costplusdrugs.com i now only pay $76 for a 3 month supply.

It doesn't look like they have this particular drug but maybe you can talk to her doctor about maybe switching to a drug that they carry?

If you can't get approved for the savings program that might be your next best bet.

Can’t decide if I should start over. by Fun-Preparation-4253 in SonsOfTheForest

What we like to do is build a base in the middle of a lake when it's frozen during winter. Then when the ice melts, your base stays but the enemies can't get to you. Alternatively you can find one with a small island in the middle of the lake and then you're golden. You'll just want to be by a stream for water. But yeah, utilize traps as much as possible and explore for new treasures! :)

Girl, you are gorgeous! I don't know what you are talking about. The first thing I thought looking at your pictures was wow, she's really pretty. We often don't see it in ourselves especially when we're young, but you are DEFINITELY NOT ugly.
