Always Maxi Pads Overnight Extra Heavy Flow

Always Maxi Pads Overnight Extra Heavy Flow
a woman, dealing with montly 'issues', Willing to pay for quality

NOV

2009

There are some subjects you just want to talk about.  This review is about one of those topics.  Maxi Pads.  UGH - I hate that word, and I hate the time of month that goes along with it, but....still.  There are some products you come across that are just so 'different' that you HAVE to share your experience.  Here's mine.

Always Maxi Overnight Extra Heavy Flow padsWOOF!  I have never in my life seen a maxi pad that is as large as this thing.  I mean it is HUGE.  GIANT!  A surfboard!  For the sake of this review, I'm sitting here with a ruler so I can measure the size of this thing. ...

Halls Halls Refresh

Halls Halls Refresh

Halls Refresh Advanced Moisture Action Juicy Strawberry sugar free candy are just that.  Being sugar free, I thought that my husband would enjoy them, as he is diabetic.

However, I wanted to try them first.  I was lucky enough to buy them for a dollar, and pleased that I hadn't paid anymore than that.

They are very small and don't even come halfway up the packet.  There are 20 individually wrapped candies altogether.

They are to help a dry throat and I think that they probably do.  The strange thing is that although I can taste the strawberry, but there is also another taste, more like a medicine,...

WARNING:My wife took my son to Walgreen's Take Care Clinic. We have Blue Cross and Blue Shied "suitcase log" Insurance. The attendant told us they accepted that kind of insurance. So, she paid the copay. So, I went in a day or two later and I paid the copay. The other day I recieved two bills for the remainder of the visits ($40 each). I called Take Care Health. They told me to call Blue Cross and Blue Shield to see why they did not pay. Blue Cross told us they were "In Network" but because of who treated us they would not pay. I called Walgreens. They said they would check into it. Walgreens response...

Hearing aids make the deaf and hard of hearing people able to hear sounds.  It is true that any hearing aids do not work forever.  They do wear down and from time to time.  Hearing aids are also prone to breaking.

What does the person do in case of hearing aid breakage?  First is not to panic.  I have often did that when I first notice the responsibilities that go with having a hearing aid.  Second is take it to your local hearing aid/audiologist place.  If you have insurance coverage, the repair fee would be waive.  If you don't have insurance coverage, the cost of repairing the hearing...

ReSound Metrix

ReSound Metrix
Willing to pay for quality

NOV

2009

I began losing my hearing in my early 30's due to some genetic wiring passed along from my grandma, to my mom, and now my sister and me. I'm now 44, and find being hard of hearing a real annoyance. I was very embarrassed to have to wear ugly flesh toned plugs in my ears. But it's even worse having to constantly ask people to repeat themselves.

Over the past 14 years I have tried a couple of hearing aides. So far, the ReSound Metrixis the best. It is an over the ear style which at first made me feel like an old lady. However, I chose a model in silver and grey instead of the old flesh tone, and...

My wife is at the South Campus (behavioral health unit), and she says it is very dirty. She had a reaction to some medicine they gave her (which they should not have given her to begin with because of her epilepsy), and she got sick and vomited. The pan they gave her to vomit in just sat in her room all day. She informed the staff and they told her to keep it in case she did it again. She had to clean it out herself, and they did not take it out of her room until the next day. Also, she was not given her anti-seizure medicine until I threatened to sue them.

The patients on her unit have to share...

Oticon Duel mini

Oticon Duel mini
Willing to pay for quality

NOV

2009

When I realized I was having trouble hearing, I went in for the testing and was told I would benefit from hearing aids. There was progressive loss compared against my previous testing, and needed hearing aids that could accommodate tech use as well as singing.  I did a lot of research and found the Oticon Duel Mini. The size is pretty important to me, I hated the thought of wearing a hearing aid at any point, but especially when I think I should just be way to young to need it! The hearing aids are virtually undetectable when worn:  I have to point them out for any one to notice at all. There...

I am on chronic pain meds which have been impossible to find anywhere on the east coast since February of 2009.  I used to be able to go to a pharmacy and get the meds no problem, but now I need to call my doctor, have the prescription mailed, and send it to Carmark who can take two weeks or more to send it to me!  I finally got the timing down but knew one month was going to be close to I used a black gel pen and colored in the 2 day option.  It was completely ignored although when I called, the rep said he could clearly see that I had choosen that option.  I had to go three days without pain...
