To the person who sent me a pm, thank you and I got it. SD won't let me send you a reply. They think that I'm a merchant or something lol and put a disclaimer on everything I send and limit my pm's to 2 per every 6 hours. At this point in my couponing career, I'm just somebody with a heart condition who is trying to save money on the things I need. I don't own a store or resell. I couldn't do it even if I wanted to. I just want you to know that I appreciate all you do to help the people on SD including myself.
Yes, when you're a new member you are limited on the number and frequency of messages you can send. It's been awhile now, but I recall seeing a discussion of this. Once you've been around a little while, they'll ease up on this. I don't remember how long you have to wait.

There'll come a time when you're an oldtimer just like so many of us!

This has been an awful week for me. I had a very bad reaction to a heart drug and I had to stop taking it. Unfortunately, this increases my chance of a getting another heart attack. I got yelled at by my case manager for being really stupid and I get it. I tried to take the drug again on Friday but it messes me up too much both physically and mentally. It makes me confused and puts me into a deep depression. I've got an appointment tomorrow with a pulmonary doctor over my shortness of breath, which is pretty bad. I feel like I've sprinted a mile and I'm panting but I can't regain my breath no matter what I do. I was taking a nap today and I woke up with it in addition to chest pain but that's just a normal day for me. Hopefully, the pulmonary doctor can help me. I'm going to try to see my primary doctor after the pulmonary doctor and see if she can help me with my heart drug. I really should see my cardiologist but I don't like him very much and I'd almost rather have the heart attack. Maybe I can switch doctors. He a fantastic cardiologist but I just don't like talking with him.
So sorry to hear you've had a rough week hug hopefully your pulmonologist can help with the shortness of breath. That has got to be pretty scary. Are you on any kind of water pills?

If you don't feel comfortable with your cardiologist there may be someone else in the office you can see. You really should be able to talk to your dr freely and comfortably for the best care.

Or you can let us be your drs, Seedoctor couponers have plenty of vitamins, pain meds, Thermacare, etc lol

If you are so uncomfortable you would skip going, it doesnt really matter how great he is. Ive switched doctors twice when it wasnt necessary due to a move, insurance switch and both times have worked out great. The first time I loved the doctor but the support staff was horrible. The incident that made me switch was that they scheduled mt birth control shot a week late and they didnt seem to care that they potentially saddled me with a lifelong commitment. They thought my concern was paying for the pregnancy test they had to issue before they could give me the shot. The second time was my GI doctor. Literally the only GI doctor in town but had such poor communication skills that I just couldnt continue. He or his staff had delayed calling in medicine for hours, this left me in intense pain. My husband and I wanted to address this at our next appointment. He showed up 20 minutes late, spent about three miutes talking at us,never once asked how I was or if we had questions and then started to exit the room. I asked him if he thought this appointment was over and he said yes. We told him it wasnt and that we needed to talk about some things. When we mentioned the medicine issue and our concerns since it was headed into a weekend when it happened. His reply was that I should have gone to the ER. For a drug he said he was going to call in and "forgot". No apologies. His solution was to send an immunocompromised patient in intense pain to the ER he he would forget to do what he said he was going to do. You know, cause ERs are all sterile and fast. Obviously that was unacceptable. Now we go to the next town over and get great care. FWIW, that second doctor left town about six months after I left his office.

Maybe your doctor hasnt done anything as egregious YET but I had warning signs from both that I ignored. You need to be comfortable with your doctor. If you arent that is a sign to move on.

Can anyone confirm for me if you can use Free Ship Digital Credits on Amazon to pay for an HBO Max or Paramount+ subscription via Amazon?

ETA: I cant tell from the credits description. When I go into manage subscriptions in my account it says this:

Add or change your channel subscriptions
Learn more
If you have promotional credits available, they will be applied automatically to your next monthly payment.
No channels found

Which certainly seems like it. I just hate how you cant tell if digital credits are being used at the point of purchase and, to complicate matters, each of the above subscriptions would have a free 7 day trial that I'd have to get through to see if my credits go down at all. I dont see a way to opt out of the free trial.

So I went to my doctor's appointment this morning. I saw my primary doctor first and she talked with the cardiologist. I'm going to start taking the third drug and hoping for better results than with the first two. Then I saw my pulmonary doctor. He thinks that my lungs are fine but I've got to do the PFT test just to make sure. My chest x-ray is a trip. It looks perfect except for the wire around my heart from the open heart surgery. The cause of my problem could be my heart rate, which is in the low 40's, or it could be Brilinta, which really messed me up. After I got home, I went to Vons to get started with my new drug but they were out of stock so I have to wait until tomorrow. I'm not pissed off at my cardiologist anymore. I realize that I'm a difficult case. I wouldn't be able to walk 2 miles if I were having a problem with my lungs yet I can't breathe when I'm lying down in bed.

Hi Have you tried sleeping on a wedge or a few pillows to raise your head and chest up? If not, please try that. It may give you some relief.
My heart breaks for your suffering. Best wishes.

Ok so I haven't read this thread all week and I came here looking for an update about your pizza situation and there's like 5 pages to read lmao.....

Did you end up with a Dominoes deal? 6.99 each? Have you already answered these questions in the coming pages?!?!


House of the Dragon on HBOMax! You don't have to watch Game of Thrones first, but it's also on HBOMax if you want a longer binge lol

I'll probably start the Last of Us on HBOMax soon too, but I usually watch Hulu for tv.

I signed up for HBO Max but after I was on there for a month I had seen everything that I wanted to and decided to cancel. HBO made me an offer of half price for the next 3 months if I kept it and I said yes. Unfortunately, I haven't turned on HBO for 2 weeks. I'm too busy with all of these great couponing deals - not. Butter made me a really good suggestion of something to watch but I forgot what it was and I'm too lazy to go back and look. The only thing that I've really liked was Succession and I can't wait for season 4. It's a show where you hate everybody but still keep on watching.
See Buttor's quote above!
