(I was there and I don't know what Allen was doing when he took these pictures!)

I've
said many times that I heard 'it is the practice of medicine and they
are practicing on us, " more times than I want, but every once in
awhile, something happens and I believe it. I got a call from my doctor
that my triglycerides were high and he called in a prescription for Fenofibrate which I picked up today. I read the pharmacist's information that comes
with it and then looked it up in  "The Pill Book". I wasn't too worried
about it 'causing gallstones, can cause pancreatitis and liver and possibly kidney failure. It could destroy muscle cells, infections and pain and combined with taking simvastatin can double all the previously mentioned side effects'.

I
am not usually affected by reading side effects--if I was I wouldn't
take any medicines--but since I take, and have taken it for 12 years,
simvastatin and I know triglycerides can be lowered by  a slight change
in the diet so I am going to go that way and put the Fenofibrate in the
cupboard.

I'm
not one to tell on my friends but you want to hear nerve?!? Arnie has
been taking me food shopping on Thursday and last week he
couldn't/wouldn't take me. Do you want to hear his flimsy excuse? He had
to have his pacemaker changed! Do you believe that?!?!? And had the
nerve to tell me that with a straight face! You just can't depend on
anyone anymore. Guess I'll let him take me tomorrow unless he comes up
with another silly excuse!
