I had one in 2005

And I do still have a period, but by far not anything compared to what it was.  It's between spotting and a light flow.  Some months are worse than others, just like a regular period, but still far better than what I was putting up with.  I would strongly consider doing it.  My doctor told me that whatever I'm doing at 6 months postop, whether it be bleeding like a regular period or just spotting, that's probably how it would stay forever (or at least til menopause...then I guess we'll see ), but for now I'm enjoying it!  Good luck with whatever you choose!

Tessier is Best and has new 2005 3rd Edition sm
I was delighted just before Christmas to find out Tessier had come out in a new 3rd Edition in 2005. This was always my favorite in the 90's, and since it arrived it is my new favorite now. It is big, 2000 pages, combines material that would be found in 2 Stedman's books, Surgical Equipment AND Surgery Words. I still use my Stedman's specialty books but 95% of the time I find what I'm looking for in this new Tessier.

I do full time Op Reports for a very big teaching hospital, plenty of specialties, and it's all in this book.

I paid $41.95 with free shipping because I used my credit card. They will send you the book and bill you but you would have to pay shipping and handling.

The price is great considering it's the equivalent of two Stedman's books, and I think much better.

You won't be sorry if you give yourself this terrific tool from the start.

Here's the link to the Elsevier site. You may have to call in to get the free shipping, it may have been a special.

P.S. Don't go to Amazon, they are not selling the new edition.

congress passed no law in 2005
Introduction

This article applies to users in the following regions that have experienced daylight saving time (DST) or time zone changes during 2007:


U.S. and Canada (where DST is observed):The U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005, passed by the U.S. Congress July 2005, extended daylight saving time in the U.S. by approximately four weeks. As a result, beginning in 2007, DST for the U.S. will start three weeks earlier on March 11, 2007, and end one week later on November 4, 2007, resulting in a new DST period that is four weeks longer than previously observed. These four weeks are referred to in this article as the "extended DST period." Visit MSN Encarta for more general information about DST. Canada chose to follow the U.S. change, in regions where DST is observed.

U.S. 2007 change in daylight saving time:
Previously DST started on: With the new law, DST will start on: Previously DST ended on: With the new law, DST will end on:
First Sunday of April Second Sunday of March Last Sunday of October First Sunday of November
Would have been: April 1, 2007 Will now be: March 11, 2007 Would have been: October 28, 2007 Will now be: November 4, 2007


Other regions: Microsoft is providing updates for several other regions or countries that have enacted time zone changes in 2007, including:
I was diagnosed with GAD in 2005. I think everybody's different as far as meds go. SM

I am on Effexor XR 150 mg a day and it works wonderfully for me, although when I forget to take my pill, I do get that strange dizzy, buzzy feeling that someone below described.  I also have Klonopin if I need it.  It's not as strong as Xanax, but it takes the edge off and helps with sleep.


I'm curious what was the catalyst for you being diagnosed?  I have always been a "worrier" ever since I can remember.  I bite my nails, but it was always manageable worrying.  Then in the fall of 2005, I had a full blown panic attack.  It was the worst experience of my life and I hope that I never have to go through it again.  I had a gallbladder attack.  I new it was my gallblader.  I knew I wasn't have a heart attack and yet it was like one half of my brain could not convince the other half.  I started feeling lightheaded, dizzy, and like I was in a tunnel.  I was at work and someone told me I should go to the employee health nurse.  I did and my BP was through the roof, my pulse was 130, and the nurse just ripped that BP cuff off my arm and said you need to be seen in ER and made sit in a wheelchair and wheeled me down there!


The irony is the more urgent she acted, the worse my panic got.  Finally, it was established that I was not having a heart attack, but still my body was freaking out.  I could not calm down.  Then I started crying and cried for two weeks straight.  I couldn't sleep at night.  I didn't want to be home alone.  I didn't want to go out in public.  I just basically sat in my house, on my couch for two weeks straight crying and fretting.  My doctor tried me on several different medicines including Lexapro and Zoloft, both did nothing for me but make feel nauseous.  Then he wanted to prescribe an antipsychotic which made me freak out even more.  Being a medical Transcriptionist and knowing about drugs, side effects, etc. was NOT conducive to my anxiety disorder!


Finally, I found a female nurse practitioner who was wonderful.  She new exactly what I was feeling.  Told me her daughter had the same issues and started me on Effexor.  I have been panic attack free going on three years.  I get what I call mini panic attacks where I can feel myself starting to freak out, but I've taught myself relaxation and breath techniques that calm me down.


I'm just jazzed to meet people who have the same "disorder" as me, ya know.  When I've described my anxiety and panic attack to my family and friends, they just look at me like I should be committed and when I was going through it, my family didn't have a clue what to do with me or to say to me.  They were afraid of me, really.  My mom kept saying "you need to snap out of it."  Yeah, ma.  If only it were that easy!


Universal had Dr. Suess in March 2005
they also had Nickelodeon. You will definitely want more than one day no matter which places you go to.

tubal in 98 reversal in 2002 and baby in 2005
I was in a really bad marriage and knew I wanted no more children in this relationship and so I spoke with my OB/gyn and her performed a tubal not removing any of the tube just cutting and cauterizing. In 2000 my hubbie and I married and he had no biological children so we had my tubal reversed at a cost of about $3000 and little or no discomfort. A couple of years later and some Clomid (because of my age) I gave birth to an almost ten pound baby boy and am planning on working on a little sister currently *~*~*weg*~*~*~
