Journal Square is my nearest stop so I'm in that station all the time. On the regular, I see people jump the turnstile. I want to know why PATH bothers to have a police station there if turnstile-jumping is ignored. I'm not as spry as I once was, but if it's gonna save me money, I'm gonna start working out....
Addendum for those who didn't get the joke: I'm a 72 year old woman.
I just tried to rejoin Match after several years away. After you fill out a lot of info, the site makes you verify your phone number by texting a code before proceeding. It took several tries to get it to work. I kept getting error messages indicating that there was some problem. I wrote to Customer support and it took three messages back and forth for them to fix it. They kept asking me to verify the other info like DOB, when I enrolled, my zip code, etc. Finally they said it was OK and I could go back. But I forgot my login so I decided to create a new one but that's where things really went awry. Got the same error message about verifying phone number. Wrote to them again to ask them to fix it, explaining about the new log in. This time around they told me I was BANNED but could appeal. Huh? They directed me to an appeals form which I filled out, explaining the situation. I just got a message telling me that I am banned permanently because I violated the T&C!! Huh???
Has this happened to anyone else???
Turns out I'm one of those delicate flowers who gets side effects from everything. Had to stop taking lisinopril because my lips swelled. Had to stop taking amlodipine because my hands swelled. Metoprolol was a NIGHTMARE - had every side effect there is and it made my life miserable So fatigued, I couldn't function and all the rest: severe bloating, tinnitus, leg heaviness, anxiety -- took a few weeks but I'm finally off it although still feeling some side effects. It's only been about 10 days and I'm told it may take a few weeks for all of that drug's side effects to go away. Now I'm on hydrochlorothiazide and carvedilol -- low dosage of both and it's only been a few days. I have a little lightheadness and a little occasional nausea or mild heartburn and I feel so cold. It's 75 in my apartment but it feels like 65. ARGH. So tired of not feeling well! In the meantime, I've been working on lifestyle changes: lost 15 pounds so far, working on another 10-15, drinking more tea than coffee, more chicken, fish and veggies than red meat, try to manage the anxiety with deep breathing and talk therapy, etc. In my dreams, I'd love it if the lifestyle changes could make me medication-free. Is that unrealistic for a 70 year old woman?
Took metoprolol for hypertension for about two months with ALL of the most negative side effects. Finally made it clear to my docs that I needed to STOP. Tapered slowly for a few weeks: 50 mg to 25 mg to 12.5 mg to skipping every other day and now it's been one week metoprolol -free.
Some anxiety, intermittent lightheadedness, little bit of occasional heartburn, and occasional fatigue but MUCH LESS than I had before. I'm told that it may take another couple of weeks to be free of these withdrawal symptoms.
I just want to thank you guys for being there! I'm so SICK of doctors telling me I'm imagining things when I KNOW I'm not!
