I got questions about disease

[The Mad Monk]

Just skip the nail polish that day.

[Berzerker]

well I stopped taking the Rx Prilosec, I'm dizzy or its vertigo. I had this problem occasionally when I was drinking too much alcohol but I stopped drinking heavily on the golf course maybe 4 months ago

so I got me some Mylanta

Jesus, I'm afraid the valve below the esophagus is leaking from all the abuse I've dished out to my body over the last 3-4 decades.

I'm also on Timolol for suspected Glaucoma, I cant imagine thats good for my head either but I've been on that stuff for close to 5 years

[Felch]

Unless Timolol is some new super strain of chronic, you're taking the wrong remedy for your glaucoma. I recommend Jack the Ripper, Vancouver Blueberry, or Maui Waui.

[Berzerker]

cant, my doc says smoking relaxes the valve keeping those stomach acids from refluxing

but my eye did say the stuff does help with glaucoma

[The Mad Monk]

If your eye said that, you might want to back off some of your other meds.

Use a coffee grinder to pulverize the herb. Add about a quart of water to a large sauce pan, float a smaller sauce pan inside the larger one with butter and pulverized herb. Let the herb/butter mixture simmer for as long as you like (an hour works fine, some people go longer), while making sure that the water in the large sauce pan is replenished. Then you can strain the vegetable matter out of the butter, and add the enhanced butter to whatever recipes you like (traditionally brownies, but you can use it for anything). Boom, without inhaling smoke you are safely and effectively lowering your interocular pressure.

my eye speaks to me, says it likes the chronic

I meant my eye doc

you know you're getting old when you have multiple docs

[Berzerker]

jesus, a local sleep/pulmonary place wants $800 to use a take home test

[notyoueither]

Really? Mine cost $50 or so.

[Berzerker]

must be different machines/tests, I'll shop around

[Berzerker]

meeting next week with a dentist, take home test is $200 and might solve the problem with a mouthpiece designed to move the lower jaw forward a bit

[notyoueither]

I've heard of those... after I spent $2K on a really good CPAP machine.

I'd be curious to know what it'll cost you for the device.

[Berzerker]

I'll let you know, probably 2-4 hundred I'd bet

did some research and apparently they dont help if the blockage is in the nose, and you gotta keep your mouth closed or the mouthpiece could get displaced allowing the lower jaw to move backward. I'm doing this mainly for the home test, if I test positive for apnea I might just take the results to somebody who can prescribe the cpap machine. I'll see what he wants for the mouthpiece.

[Sava]

i would rather suffer then wear that nonsense

[Berzerker]

you wouldn't have to suffer long, apnea shortens life
