Yay! Mexico refilled PTSD nightmare med Prazosin!!

I'm really relieved.  Seroquel for my PTSD nightmares sedated me and then left me on the edge of needing dialysis because of its permanent damage to my kidneys.  Prazosin is liver-processed, not kidney-processed, so it's the only safe PTSD nightmare med out there and it works super for me without sedation nor kidney or other side effects.



Retiring as I did to Mexico this month because like most middle class USA folks I could never afford to retire in the USA itself, I wondered how my PTSD med situation would go.  I just refilled it at a pharmacy here in Mexico with no problem.  WOW! :-)

Thanks, Secouya. Today was another good day of seeing me be able to transfer healthy habits from the USA to retirement in Uruguay. It was about refilling my Januvia prescription for my diabetes. I got it done in my own new neighborhood pharmacy, and saved 10 US dollars to boot. Yay!

Woot! Woot!! That really had to feel awesome, muj!!

It's one thing to know or be told you'll be able to fill your prescriptions, no problemo, but a whole other thing to live the reality!!! To actually go in there and happily come out with your prescription and you really are in Mexico!!!!!!! (No pretending or imagining involved in this dream come true).

Too many woots!

Lilly, I had to pinch myself this Sunday morning when I got up to my dream come true yet again. I can't believe how my advanced planning mostly turned out to be accurate. There have been major decisions in life in which I failed, like two divorces, like giving up tenure at a university only to have to earn tenure all over again at a college later on.

I have sucked 3 times in life at major personal and career decisions, and this retirement decision was both personal and professional at once. I planned knowing there was a chance I could blow this. That's why I'm so humbly grateful that it seems to be going well so far. I'm so happy.
