Still works somewhat. <br /><br />As far as the pill boxes, I have two. One that has both morning and evening sides and one for the oversize ones just like the one in the picture above. I do the refills Saturday night just before bedtime. I'm up to 15 pills a day without any real serious ailments except for afib.

Yeah, blood transfusions. It's a thing that they don't talk about, but should. Guess they figure you'll care more for waking up alive rather than waking up with a snotty nose or suddenly discovering you're allergic to shellfish (that you've been eating all your life and you discover the allergy because suddenly your tongue swells up to the size of a good-sized carp and you start choking to death...) <br /><br />Yay. Allergies. And the real mind-screw is that you are actually allergic... to yourself. The allergen is the catalyst for the start of the allergic reaction, the rest of the pain and suffering is caused by your body reacting to your body's reaction to your body's reaction to that one small grain of allergen that started the whole thingy.<br /><br />Ain't life grand?Beanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293778848879361153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-19576772574582029992018-05-03T11:11:21.796-07:002018-05-03T11:11:21.796-07:00It worked!

I've been lucky with regular blood pressure, pulsing and hair growth in places I did not know I had. Ambien has been a God-send for me and has not caused any side effects, such as irritability, suicidal thoughts, etc. I have lost my memory, but no one has noticed (I think).Dave's Daily Day Dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17491764990082380190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-82458424460873056042018-05-03T11:08:33.515-07:002018-05-03T11:08:33.515-07:00Yes, I'll randomly drop various things from my...Yes, I'll randomly drop various things from my head.Beanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293778848879361153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-58926174791185689612018-05-03T11:07:09.981-07:002018-05-03T11:07:09.981-07:00Well, there's seems to be you replace work wit...Well, there's seems to be you replace work with talking to various companies like your pension company, your insurance companies and all sorts of phone beggars, all that think that now that you're retired, you have all day to spend on the phone with them.<br /><br />I spent less time on the phone talking to various med companies when I was working than now that I'm not.Beanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293778848879361153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-31669887812553205192018-05-03T11:03:10.471-07:002018-05-03T11:03:10.471-07:00Thank you, Nylon12.
