Hi Kim, Thanks girl, I looovvveeee GOLD ! Hope you are doing great. Still watching the Housewives.. they are mos def a trip !! Love, Deb
Hug
Hi there. Just read about Tramal (Ultram over there). I am in Australia. I take 4x100 mg each day. I find they work quite well for me. I'm not sure about the other one you mentioned. I would have to look it up. I am also on other meds. I hope the Ultram works for you. I don't really suffer any side effects. I couldn't take oxycondone. And there was a couple of others I tried which didn't work and made me groggy and confused. Take care.
I’m With You
Kim! No problem, completely understandable. I used to be in such a fog I could barely even go to work. I'm about to go out of town for a week. When I get back I'll contact you and then we can do the e-interview. Really simple. No worries. :)
Hug
Hey Kim, It was so nice hearing from you and I am so sorry I just sent out hugs to so many ppl but missed out on you by mistake. I am really very sorry about it.
No one will manufacture a lock without a key. Similarly, God will not give problems without solutions. It is now only a matter of time when things would start getting better for you. Trust me for this. Friends are amazing when they are new, they are wonderful when they are true, but they are a "Blessing" when they are like you.
Take Care. You are in my prayers. Lots of Love.
