Guest guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 Hey there I work for a community planner/landscape architect and they are absolutely wonderful people !!! Ive been there three years and wouldnt change it for the world !! My doctor at s Hopkins basically confirmed my diagnosis and ran a lot of blood tests. She called me last week and told me that they were all quite symbolic with PM and that I should stay on the meds that I am currently taking. She agreed with me that although Dr. Freak may not be the best at making his patients comfortable but at least his treatment was right on the money. She did however, give me names of a few other doctors to check out. The one I am probably going to try is in Daytona Beach. That is only about a 45 minute drive for me and I feel it will be worth it. Ill let you know. Dr. Freak is lowering my pred a tad everytime I go (4 week intervals) but I cant stand this leg thing much longer. It is ridiculous !!! I guess patience isnt something that I am good at !!! Hopefully it will go away soon !!!

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 .... wow, I'm impressed!! What a wonderful company to work for. Did you ever hear back from s Hopkins???? Come on now.... give it up.... lol What is it that you do for the company you work for? What dose of Prednisone were you on before Dr. Freak lowered it? The feeling your having is common with lowering the Pred. It takes the body a few days to get use to it. The Christmas party sounds great and it's just what the doctor ordered. Time to have some fun whether it be at the dinner table or the buffet table..... just have fun! Take care, Vicki-pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2000 Report Share Posted December 14, 2000 , So glad you work for such a great company. We don't hear enough of that these days! Excited about your great work schedule. Easiest sugar cookie recipe: Pillsbury ready made in your grocers dairy! The stuff that comes in the tube. I use it every year. Kids don't want to make homemade dough and then wait over night for it to be ready to roll and cut. Actually cheaper to buy it ready made and they taste great. I'm all for anyway to cut $ and time during the holiday season! Hugs, Cari and - JDMS --- catzmeowz@... wrote: > Hi Ho Hi Ho it's off to work I go !!!

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2000 Report Share Posted December 14, 2000 We use cookie cutters with the pillsbury dough. We only end up with about a dozen cookies from the whole roll! Now that the kids are getting a little older we are having more success. LOL Hugs, Cari and - JDMS --- catzmeowz@... wrote: > Thanks Cari !!
