    • Prayer

      From arisenshine October 25

      My prayers are with you. This sounds like the best news! I don't understand about the larger incision. I do know about "the team" being afraid of getting Hep C. My Dr. who did my knee replacement flat out said he didn't want to die! This was after I made sure he knew I had hep c. So, at least they are doing our surgeries I guess :).

      From crab October 24

      Hi soafraid...how ya doin right now. I'm praying and thinking positive!
      We will just keep going to the doctor & saying our prayers, someone is looking out for us.
      Yes I think I told you I have nodules, dono how many if that's right. I do go to a lung specialist on this thursday. No more staying up late worrying and smokin but. Stress in this whole thing makes sickly so I try to stay calm but it's rough cause I'm high strung and a bit certified. Thinking of ya....crab

      I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks have been taking xanax for over 12 yrs now and it seems like somedays the dosage just doesnt work anymore and being Im on suboxone they are not a good mix so I dont want to go higher but wanted to see what other folks due to deal with their anxitey issues.

      Treatments

      Xanax Working / Worked
      It works but Im a recovering addict and have been on xanax for over 12yrs idk, if I should switch to something different cause I realize Im addicted to them but yet I need them so I dont know what to do. Some days I take less then RX'ed and other days bad ones I find myself taking more so idk. dd
