About Me
I am 63 years old, married 40 years, have one son and 3 grands. I ws born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama and met my husband while he was going to school there. He brought his bride to Mississippi in 1972 and we have lived here ever since. I love to do crafts, work out in my yard, go to Sunday School and Church, have the grands over and help people anyway I can and introduce anyone to Jesus. I could not live without HIS help.

Hi, I was reading on earthclinic website about an allergy shot that doesn't have steroids. Might be mis-information though, will have to check it all out.
Do you give your dog the new Benedryl? They changed the kapseals awhile back to a new hard coated tablet. I haven't tried the new kind yet but will run out of the old one in a few months. I noticed the inactive ingredients are different in the new stuff. Vet says it's safe but I if I want I could give her generic. Don't know what to give her when I run out of the old stuff. Does your dog do okay on the new kind? -
Hug
Hi Linda, Amen to that about staying in His Word and keeping His word alive in us. I'm so glad that when there is an opportunity to fear or doubt that I have His Word that the Holy Spirit brings to my rememberance to carry me through and give me re-assurance.
I'll pray for you dog, what kind of dog do you have? Yes, at my wits end is right concerning this allergy stuff. I've done all I can think of to do for her. I gave her a bath again today, it wears me out but gives her some relief for awhile. About the Cortizone shots, my vet suggested that too, but isn't Cortizone a steroid? I immediatly told her no on that issue because I'm under the impression that steroids cause liver damage easily. I told her that and she didn't say anything else about it. I know Prednazone has steroids in it and is dangerous to take. Vet is wanting me to do blood tests on her to check for liver damage just because she took it one time although she is otherwise except for allergies very healthy. Also my Grandmother took Prednizone many times and finally succomded to death by liver failure. I guess we both ought to check into that huh? I'm just assuming here but that is the impression I got when my vet mentioned Cortizone, I'm not sure about it being dangerous. I'll do some checking into that, if it is safe then that might help my dog too. But I'm thinking that it has Steroids or is a Steroid. I'll get back to you on that. Annie -

Now that you mention it I do remember reading something like that in there about praying for our enemies and doing good to those who dispitefully use us and persecute us. Thanks for reminding me. I never did repay evil with evil, always repaid evil with good. I was constantly being abused, used and taken advantage of that way. I don't do that anymore though, now I figure that not repaying evil with evil is good enough and get away from them as fast as I can. Hope you are having a good weekend.

Thumbs Up
Hi Linda! How are you doing today? I'm good but somewhat sleepy.
I feel sorry for all humanity, but it is extremely difficult to love everyone or even like everyone. Actually I've heard that all of my life about how we are suppost to love everyone but I can't really find that in the Word. It says over and over to love the Brethern, our brothers and sisters (in Christ) I assume. But I also think that if we are suppost to love everyone that it not an emotion but more of a acting in love and kindness towards them. Anyway that's the best I can figure out. Hope I'm close to what I'm suppost to be doing anyway. We need to watch out for ourselves too and I don't think we are suppost to love bad people more than we do ourselves which is what I used to do and it got my life messed up pretty bad. It's taken me years to try to figure it all out.
Hopeing you have a blessed day and weekend. HUGS ~ Annie

lindahoward7 hasn’t entered any details for this support group.Close High Cholesterol
My cholesterol has been high for several years, and, my doctor told me to lose a little weight and exercise... I did neither...in fact I gained. I was put on pravachol about a month ago and my weight went up ....most I have ever weighed. I just got a call that my cholesterol has goneup and my doc wants me to up meds and return in 3 months. So I will start taking 40 mg. at night. Does anyone of you take 40 mg. Or, how has pravachol affected you. I just need a little encouragement. Thanks!!
Treatments
Open Interstitial Cystitis (IC)
I am 63 years old and have IC for over 11 years. I went to my family doctor many times and stil had severe pain, could hardly walk. I would have to void sometimes every fifteen minutes. Thank God I found a doctor who treats IC patients. I do have flareups but I am better now.
Treatments
- Baking Soda Somewhat Helpful
- A little baking soda in water helped - it did not take all symptoms away, but helpful
- Bladder Distention Somewhat Helpful
- The bladder distention worked for about a month...will not do it again. It did not last.
- Bladder Instillation Working / Worked
- The DMSO was horrrible - literally burned the inside of my bladder. I never knew it was an industrial solvent. Never again - never - the pain was intollerable.

- Pyridium helps when I feel the burning coming on.
