    What dose are you on currently beatle?

    Good post Ig! I think beatle years are the same as dog years.

I really would urge you to be more specific so that we can give you the best information we have available pertaining to your situation. As usual, its good to see that you appear to be on track and that hidden beneath your hard exterior there is humor lurking.

      Again I ask you for detailed information to complete my analysis.

      Slightly confused

      Ig
      Ig, I don't think I have ever given ambiguous information, certainly not intentionally, but perhaps it seems that way. (Or perhaps I have.)

      What I certainly have done is not responded appropriately to your very appropriate and caring advice and persistent and caring inquiries. I was in the middle of composing a post to respond to them when this post from you came in. I am/have been so moved by your concern and I am ashamed for my flippant attitude towards your concern (and humor).

      Note also your previous posts, to which I never answered:

      I think there were others I didn't answer, as well.

      I am extremely thankful for your concern and advice, I really mean this. Not just sayin'.

      I will answer your questions:

      I went up to 270 today, from 245-255 the last few days. I've had some hard days in there due to my stupidity as regards keeping track of dosing... and from paranoia -- this despite having a "foolproof" system in hand. I quite obviously don't even make the grade for fool requirements

      I also had a bad night last night ... actually only one night in the last 4 that was ok. I should have come on here and reported it, at least the next day.
      :egad: Edit:I did not mess up last night with dosing and recording.

      If it happens again tonight, I will report it.

      I should mention that although where I live is is GMT +1, I am currently in New York, which is GMT - 1, I believe. EDIT: GMT ?5 (not 1).

      SEs: lightning shocks and jerky hands way down today. Balance still iffy. Hallucination last night. Disconcerting, but humouros in retrospect.

      That's all for now. Must sleep.Thank you all.

        Beatle,

        Lurking and hoping you hit the switch soon. I am proud of you for sticking with this.

        Have a good sleep.

        Love,

          Specifically I would like to point out that:

          Adult Drugstore beetles live for 18 days. The species name sounds appropriate but I doubt you are more than 9000 years old.
          Some accounts of the Splendour beetle would put you at nearly 2 years old. I hope your computer has the appropriate filters turned on.

          Ig
          I don't know what a "Drugstore beetle" means.

          And I wrote "beatle years", which I previously explained as similar to dog years, which would mean 1 dog year = 7 human years. Hence the 280 ? which, btw, was an inaccurate estimation, arrived at by doing the calculation in my head (and we all know that is in lala land.) Real number should be over 300.

              Adult Drugstore beetle is just a species of beetle, beatle. I think.

                Certainly an odd name. Is it a species that originated in an Adult Drugstore? And I don't know even know what an Adult Drugstore is. I have a feeling I'm putting myself out for a tar and feathering. Really am thick ... hard for my bac brain to make the leap from a beetle species to apothecary. Or vice-versa.

                  It's called the drugstore beetle. The adult form being an adult drugstore beetle - as near as I can tell.

                        Beatle. I was fairly screaming for a reply wasn't I. I'm not a girl and I'm not gay, just for the record. Just a run of the mill guy getting in touch with his emotions. Thanks for hearing. Anyway you have gone some way to calming my hysteria with the news that you are forging ahead.

                        Many times I myself struggled to remember how many pills I had taken. Putting 5 pills out on the counter while I brewed my coffee. Sipping my steaming coffee and wondering had I swallowed them or had I merely planned to put the pills out to take with my coffee became a regular morning conundrum to mull over!

                        Great about the 270. Are you AF still? I'm not going near the beetle, dog, human, maths thing! It is a name of a species and adult defines the stage of life vs egg, larva, pupae. I'm looking for a life 'humor teacher' so folks know when to nod sagely and when to laugh.

                            I just want to say, since you are all here, that I DO NOT have a crucifixion complex. Quite the contrary...I am actually BEING crucified...more of that later.

                            Anyway, one must always look on the bright side of life. The view is good.

                            In addiction, suppression of symptoms should suppress the disease altogether since addiction is, as he observed, a "symptom-driven disease". Of all "anticraving medications used in animals, only one - baclofen - has the unique property of suppressing the motivation to consume cocaine, heroin, alcohol, nicotine and d-amphetamine"

                              Cindi, it's awesome to see you.

                              I often read about the befuddling (is that a word??) moments that you folks taking bac sometimes have. I often have those moments too - i.e. did I already take my supplements (or whatever)? Did I just think about it or actually do it? I don't take any meds other than for thyroid.... I can only assume I killed too many brain cells back when. I wonder - does this ever improve?

                              Hope you are having a good day Beatle. Are you having fun in NY?
