The Mr. wasn't a fan of yogurt but really likes Chobani, especially the vanilla, lemon, black cherry, apple cinnamon and coconut flavors. Gatorade, not so much. Good luck with everything, hope you're all feeling better soon. :)2 Punk Dogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06373806920604586043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4700679744963822357.post-84230647167150548322014-11-07T09:07:25.352-05:002014-11-07T09:07:25.352-05:00Ah, Kim.

I ended up having to go off many of my meds when my husband retired. As you stated...finances change when that happens. I do the best I can...and should probably own stock in Immodium. Rheumatoid Arthritis and IBS cause many of the symptoms you have talked about...and I just do the best I can. Some of the meds were in the thousands per MONTH. C'mon...how many people can really afford that?? So, I took it into my own hands...and just tapered off my asthma meds...and some of the others. Like I said, I do the best I can and continue to take the ones I can afford. We all do what we have to. The Docs don't particularly like it...but I told them if they would like to pay for it, I would be happy to go back on it! Please know that we are all thinking of you and praying that things get better!! Your sense of humor thoughout all of this is amazing. Love you girl!! Hang in there!! xo Jeannebichonpawzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09344322575991668081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4700679744963822357.post-31355177298111331592014-11-03T16:52:31.476-05:002014-11-03T16:52:31.476-05:00Kim

Charmin Queen...bless your heart...your mom would be proud of your sense of humor... They say it takes less muscles to smile than frown...so at least you aren't using extra energy frowning.<br />As for yogurt I like any and all. May I suggest you try the Yoplait Whipped first? It has the consistency that might be more pleasing to you in the beginning.<br />Once you find yogurt ok I like Cobani Greek the best. I'm not a fan of Gatorade but if I have to drink it I go for grape....<br /><br /> I hope now that you know what you are dealing with the stress will be a little less. I have a friend with colitis so I know how much pain you have had. Remember you are in our thoughts and prayers.<br />Hugs all around <br />CeciliaMy Mind's Eyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12014097754516123017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4700679744963822357.post-18055427183549524132014-11-03T16:41:08.680-05:002014-11-03T16:41:08.680-05:00Hang in there.

I am sad that you have to go through all of this but relieved it can be treated. Just a little personal info that may help. When I first lost my health insurance during a lay off I was on a med that cost $500 per month. I contacted the pharmaceutical company and with the help of my doctors I was able to obtain the prescription for less than $10 per month. Hopefully you can get help that way. I know you are a fighter and a get the job done sort of person so do not give up. If you really hate the yogurt maybe you can buy the over the counter digestive aide acidophilus. Hang in there.

I wonder if there is any sort of a program you can get on in order to afford the medicine? I would start by asking the doctor and the pharmacy. I would also contact the company that makes the medicine and see if they can point you in the direction of cost savings. I know some meds do have programs. Does the doctor have any free samples? We know than colonoscopies are horrible. Well, not the procedure but the prep. But at least now it is behind you.
