Oh, arrrrrghhhh!
Of course it is old news by now that Vioxx has been taken off the market. After I jumped through all the hoops, I stiil can't take a medicine that helps me because there is a small chance it would harm me. Don Bordeux thinks like I do, that I should be able to determine for myself what amount of risk I am willing to take, and not have a government decide for me. I understand that it is the fear of class action lawsuits that is causing Merck to take Vioxx off the market. At least Kevin, MD has some suggestions as to alternatives if you can't take/can't get Celebrex and Bextra.
I am looking for some new alternative to my therapist I have been with for three years, since their agency dropped Medicaid coverage, and I can't afford much of even the lowest sliding scale they offer. I am sure some of the other agencies that are subcontractors will quit taking Medicaid, too.
The elevators are acting up again. It has gotten so bad that the Kone elevator people are talking about camping on a cot in the lobby. And then when only one elevator is working, there is always the clown who rides to the second floor, but pushes all the buttons for the other floors before he gets off. A lynch mob is being formed.....
I had a nice visit with some folks from the Community Psychiatric Clinics who came to talk to the residents. I was able to give them some information from IAADP about service animals for psychiatric disabliities.
Well, I promise to rant sooner next time. And now off to bed.
