Wahoo!!! for Alyssa and I'm sure mom and dad and the rest of the family are very proud....as are we at JRA list!!!! :):)Tree:):):) (unknown) Hello All, Thought that I would share some very great news we got today. Our 16 (almost 17) year old daughter,Alyssa, has been chosen as the Washington Arthritis Foundation "Most Inspirational 2002". We are a little overwhelmed and so very proud of her. It has been a really tough year in so many ways for her. It is really great that the one place that she feels like she belongs, sees how amazing she is too!

Phudd,

You may wish to consider buying a couple vials of Depo Testosterone...for

some reason, each year there's a few months when it's almost impossible to

obtain.

I'm on AndroGel now and I respond well, but I will be going back to

injecting and I'm buying several vials. My insurance will not cover this,

and understandably, when I'm also getting AndroGel.

Hope that you are having your hormone levels monitored regularly and

requesting copies of your lab reports for your own records....

Good luck,

OR eon

Just joined this group yesterday. I've got to say, it's reassuring to

know I'm not the only one going through this. I've been dealing with

low testosterone for about 8 years, patches, pills, clinics for

impotence, and finally injections, which were the answer to my

prayers. Then all of a sudden, I couldn't get the injectable

testosterone, so I tried the gel, which was about as effective as

grape jelly, now back to the injectable.

My doc suggested I look for something like this to help with the

depression and feelings of helplessness hypogonadism causes. I've

been reading the posts for about 2 hours now. I feel better already.

Hi Oreon,

Curious, if Androgel is working for you, why are you going back to

injecting?

ArmyGuy,

I turn 65 in May and no longer qualify for Texas Risk Pool Insurance..so I

will have no prescription drug coverage.

I've been on injections before...I have to strategize about frequency of

injecting...I'm think like 0.3 cc every six days.

Previously I was injecting 0.5 cc/wk

Blood collected 8th day after last injection of 100 mg Depo-Testosterone

on...

June 4th '01

.. . .Testosterone

.. . . . . .Total . . . . . . . . 989 (241 - 827)

I'll probably have to play around with it.

Debbi I think people are just frustrated that there is nobody to turn to when

it comes to getting our children the help they need. I personally dont care

who the president is as I am politacally neutral. I think people just expect

Bush or whoever to make it right. When thats not happening then words start

to fly and so on. Thats the way it always has been and always will be, not

that any of that makes things any better though. LOL

I havent heard from you in a few days, all ok? Abby has the flu really bad,

already had one ER trip. She has kept some Vernors down for almost 20 minutes

now. Thats a start. Talk to you later.

104 temp, yuk. What does she have? Abby has been sick for close to a week.

Last night was bad. Hopefully she will have a better one tonight. This flu

seems to get worse each year.

As far as that lady you know, that just makes me mad. If I had lots of money

I would be using it for my daughter, not an inground. All well. Hope Allie

feels better. Talk to you later

I agree the entire issue with our kids is a frustrating one. It seems

sometimes that those who desperately need services qualify for

nothing while I know personally of a person who has money out the

wazzoo, yet abuses the system. She drives a new Cadillac every couple

of years, bought her son a brand-new Lexus, just installed an in-

ground pool. Her daughter has a significant disability that will

prevent her from ever living an independent life. Yet this person

keeps all her assets in other people's names so that she can get

government assistance for everything. Almost as if she believes the

government owes her. This is the flaw in the system as I see it,

anyway.

I'm okay, I just started back in college & Allie's been running a 104

degree temp. Plus she's got a tiny little scratch in the skin between

her nostrils. Thanks to her picking it's becoming a rather large

place. Lol, you can't put a bandaid on that or cover it up, she'd

suffocate!

Debi,

everyone should be entitled to express their point of view, and since

Autism does meet the criteria of being disabled, and the ongoing cuts in

Medicaid are currently having a major impact on those who receive this

assistance, I believe the post you are responding to is VERY related to

this group.

Please, lets not begin censorship here. Thank you.

I too have seen many flaws in the system. I seen people and

relatives abuse the system the same way as described below. For example

this one man makes $100,000 a year but had to get a triple bypass so he put

everything in his daughters name so he can collect $762 a month plus have

the government pay his medical. Another example is my cousin who caused

her babies condition with cocaine use her husband works under the table for

relatives they have a new house a new car and still collects SSI, family

support among other things. Yet on the other hand I see many people who

need it desperately cant get the time of day. This is wrong and I wouldnt

know where to start to correct this. One of my suggestions is services

based on disability and not on income for example you have a kid that needs

speech therapy ect ect instead of receiving a monthly check you only get the

speech therapy. Medicaid is a touchy subject for me because its failed me

and a couple of my friends. I remember argueing about it and upsetting

people. I do however agree that there are needy on it and it was meant

for the needy. I do not know why people have to abuse a system for the

poor or disabled but they do. If I did that I couldnt live with myself.

I know here in Colorado I tried to get a model 2000 medicaid waiver but with

this government here ugh I am better off hitting my head against a brick

wall! LOL
