P.S. One more thing Jenn- I understand the desperate need to acquire what is needed to truly flourish and blossom more and more each day. I hope to never lose this medication as the others made me sick for over 2 months and I had to use every kind of stomach OTC med out there to keep each days dosage down. The Spiro mixed with my 2nd med has caused NO negative side effects at all. The estrogen related med (2nd med) was the one doing that though, but after exactly one month it became tolerable and fine. I started on my 2nd month after the rough first month starting point and its as if it was a whole different thing, my stomach did not feel nauseated once and has not since unless I do not dose on time. But thats a small price to pay since I have attempted for over a decade to find tolerable, affordable, available meds that went well together like these two do (Im at .2 estrogen right now, doing fine, staying strong!!) and it took this long to finally find something I could truly live my life yet take at the same time and not feel horrible. My estrogen amount was way too high alot of times (in the amounts of estrogen in the pills I was given before finding this one to compliment the Spiro) and I was throwing them up even. Its so so hard to find even the right meds, or the right combo, etc. Much less know that Ive found something finally after 10 yrs or more really and could run out at any time and be in a mess! So far so good though! I truly mean it when I thank you from the heart for your kind replies and advice. Much Much Luv! -CC aka Candy
Here I am again! :) Haha. Thank you so much for your kind replies, seriously, kindness is hard to find in the world these days and rare when you do find it. I am familiar with the spironolactone myself! I was shocked to hear someone else has heard of it. I will try my best to pen a letter to you this week or next and explain more about everything. Wow. You have definitely taken away the feeling of being so alone with your kind heart, acceptance, and truthful advice and I never knew that we were familiar/on the same medicine(s). Taking aspirin for the blood clot risk is a good idea. I was only told to worry about liver levels on one of my meds (Im on two) and thats IT! I am so glad you even mentioned aspirin as a blood thinner because with the Spiro, its high risk for causing them and I wasnt warned about anything like I said other than liver levels and Im sure that concerns my 2nd medication. Sending much luv BACK only from the EAST coast haha! Much much luv!-Candy
Hi Jenn! Thank you for your responses to my comments! (smile) I also want to thank you for your kindness in your other comment when it comes to offering some advice my way. Luckily, things are starting to fall into place alot more by now, but the first few months were rough. I donate/support Just Detention Internation twice a year every year and am familiar with the PREA act from their website. I hate to hear its not being followed though, because I worry for your safety and think the right thing should be done so that you can continue to flourish as your true self inside and out without feeling you may be hurt or being uncomfortable. I send much support your way and will try to write if I can, Id love to, just know I am sending you best wishes each day and will happily join in any ruckus that needs to be made for the places not feeling the need to follow the PREA act for others safety!
Where did that graphic come from? Is that a commentary about social media being withheld from prisoners or about social media "shackling" our society? Or both?
Welcome back Kyle! Chris here. :-) Glad to see you online again, and I'm looking forward to reading more, especially those summaries you used to do on the books you read.
I got your last letter, and I have a response cooking in my head, and have a mini-book to print out from the web and send to you, but it will take some time to convert it into something where the footnotes are visible.
I just wanted to let you know that I find your writing style quite interesting, and always enjoy reading your writings. The fact that you keep up with popular culture while still incarcerated is quite surprising. I hope that you are doing well, and keep doing what you're doing!
I just this evening received your card. I hope this gets to you before a letter from England does but I want you to know I will respond and do a catch up here of your situation. Glad to hear you are off DC.
I did read that other blog u wrote..Btw, I have spoken with my mother about the events that happened prior to the fight. I know there was a call from Ron, I know there was someone saying they were going to dump a pitcher of beer over her head which was was prompted them to come there.Regardless, nobody seen you try to shake hands. The way the fight started was never an issue. The issues were how it escalated and turned to murder.You , ron, dick, yall had criminal records! That isnt even the issue. I have a very close relationship with my mom and shes been very honest with me and there are things I bring up that I remember that she has since blocked out and cant recall at all. She does not remember the blood on the walls or carpet.Crazy , she was the one that tried to get our security deposit back, by sopping the blood out of the carpet with towels and wringing them out in the tub, shampooing the floor over and over, cleaning the walls and painting them.I think that every person there that night,seen and remembers different parts of the event that took place, dont dismiss what everyone else seen and heard . You were preoccupied in the fight...I think maybe its good for you to also hear what others remember. Your version may have some truths and maybe all thruth from what you recall but make no mistake of what others recall as well, as the truth. I appreciate your side. I appreciate you responding to my message. I just dont appreciate that u call me a liar. I can even tell you that in my moms room , where I ran after coming out and seeing what all was happening, I jumped under her covers (cant see me) and phil collins was on the clock radio singing "hello" ....I may have been young but what I remember , is what I seen and heard. There is a fine line between self defense and murder. Im still up on that bet if your willing to take it !
Thanks for your piece.
