Yes, I have, and I'm please as peach that you listened to that inner voice, and let it nudge you.  There is zero doubt that Vern is, too.  
You're a good lady, @Calypso Jones.

You don't go to any doctors, so how do you know that you can't?

Between my husband and myself, we see 3 or 4 doctors regularly.  NOT ONE has so much as suggested the jab.  Ever.  

Why not give it a shot?  (Oops.  No pun intended.  lol.)  Seriously.  There's all kinds of new meds out there for borderline diabetes, sleep apnea, and COPD, that may very well benefit you.

No new meds.

The people who gave us The Jab are NOT to be trusted mixing pharma compounds.  AT ALL.

I'll stick to the old stuff made in Pakistan or India, now.  Metformin.

COPD?  Pot?  No, t'anks, dood.  Frankly, when I was really having a hard time with my back, three years ago, I did try the chemical mary jane.

It MESSED ME UP.  Like a bad drug trip, literally.  And being a child of the 1970s, I'd been on a few.

Booze...it alters your coordination and judgment but it doesn't make you FEEL trashed.  Pot does.  

Also, I have some incipient prostrate issues, and that seems to REALLY aggriviate it.  Trouble draining the radiator.

But - and it's off topic - I have, kinda, a care-giver now.

A nurse-practitioner.  Which apparently now are given legal authority to prescribe, and refer to specialists.

This is a small clinic in Wild Horse Plains, about 70 miles from me.  Apparently the N-P is Mennonite.  He has Bible verses cited on his signs outside, and his receptionist was dressed as a strict Mennonite or Amish woman might be.

This matters to me.  It tells me he's not in love with government.  That if he's at all serious in what he seems to believe, he's taking orders from someone above Doctor The. Science.

I go in on Friday, for initial screen and find out how we mesh together.

I'm wondering if they're maybe not Jabbed - maybe religious exemption?

"Just say no to drugs." -- Nancy Reagan.

Do it.

Take a hike in the country or anywhere outdoors, and observe God there. You are surrounded by God, your one and only miracle in all the Universe. It is way more than enough. You don't need drugs. You are in and an integral part of a real miracle.

I've probably missed your point, but have a nice day, Casey.

Read Richard Hugo, a renown poet who wrote about Missoula -- Short book, poignant and (at least somewhat} relatable.

you're sweet and kind, but i'm not that good.

Psst ... Don't tell anyone that.

COPD is a pot derivative.

I'm not taking POT.

I didn't like it 45 years ago, in high school; and I still don't like it.

what would be great would be to combat all gangs inside mexico, would be to legalize, then import thai stick. that would screw over every gang and corrupt govt entity in the western hemisphere.

COPD is a lung disease.  Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

A friend of mine from a previous forum passed away from it recently.
