Getting Started

[HonoluluASA]

WOW Kudos to you for volunteering. About as thankless a job there is...but oh boy when someone *needs* the RC they sure start to appreciate them.

Thanks. I have no idea where Im supposed to get the "extra" time from, I am Archbishop of the church, director of the Honolulu ASA chater, I run 4 businesses, plus volunteer with the Red Cross.

Now I am trying to fight the DLNR on their Beach Wedding Permit policies that they just started and are trying to change on November 20th. Looks like we will have to fight them in federal court over it for their violations of both the U.S. and Hawaii Constitutions and religious discrimination. Thats turning into a full time job in itself.

Oh my stars you must be run off your legs . I haven't seen the DLNR wedding issue - but I've been sort of in a cave. *Finally* am diagnosed with fibromyalgia ... sad thing is I've probably had it all my life, the symptoms have been present (tender muscles, chronic headaches/pain, etc.) and it took 51 years for someone to figure it out...not to mention all the tests. Crazy!

Do I need to bring the full report to get the card or ?? Don't even know where to start, really. My current, diagnosing Dr is a pill, she has me on psych meds for the FM and won't give me anything for the pain. Nice lady. Plus DH is out of town for a week and I don't know his friend well enough to ring him to ask him if he can help. It's been a really bad summer for me.

Nuff grousing though - I'm just *finally* happy that a dr was able to diagnose what was wrong with out any BS about age, being a woman with psych problems, etc LOL

I would take the whole file, just in case.

Here on Oahu there are two offices with physicians who will write the recommendations if they feel its necessary, but I recommend Dr. Jiminez at Medical Marijuana of Hawaii. His office visits are about $100 cheaper than the other doctors are, and he is a patient himself. He is also one of our ASA members and will be giving you our business cards when you go in for the visit, lol.

He s a great doctor, I switched over to him last year, and this year when I re-registred, I didnt even think about going to anyone else. He is the best.

Thanks so much, have to wait until DH gets back from mainland, death in family

I've about quit driving unless I absolutely *must* ... have no other recourse. Lovely panic attacks behind wheel...not so good LOL

If you get an appoitment set up to see the doctor, and you cant get a way there, give me a call at 352-5815 and we will make sure you get there.

TA infamous, I have a little juju I brought back with me from my trip home, it might tide me over till I can find a hookup - OMG it's so hard when you look like a straight LOL

Right now I've hit the old toiletpaper roll and aluminum foil trick. I know just where you're talking about - grew up in Wahiawa, graduated Leilehuah so I'm really familiar with the lay of the land.

ha koool i go to leilehua!!! lol
