If you were celebrating Festivus, what would your complaint be? [View all]

Currently, it's on my mind that I don't like having an 8 character number to check my voice mail. I have to type it in really fast to beat their timer, or the voice says it's wrong and I have to start over again. I just don't check my messages.

*I posted in the Lounge, but some of the replies were political. I thought my post would fit better on one of the other forums. No one said a thing I'm not thinking, but I try to keep it non-political in the Lounge. This is my own preference and isn't meant to reflect on anyone.

Thank you for the replies.

I couldn't figure out how to move the replies to this post before I deleted it.

My grumble would be how most medical practioners don't take chronic inflammation seriously enough Attilatheblond 5 hrs ago #1

Demand a referral to a chronic pain clinic. The options are numerous and they WILL take you seriously. hlthe2b 5 hrs ago #6

Did that. Bigger disappointment than usual Attilatheblond 3 hrs ago #15

Second opinion at another clinic; third if necessary. To do no diagnostic work-up or thorough intake history is hlthe2b 3 hrs ago #16

No other option for different clinic where I live Attilatheblond 3 hrs ago #17

Please don't react that way to me. I am only trying to help. hlthe2b 3 hrs ago #18

It was not meant to be a nasty reply, just a fact Attilatheblond 3 hrs ago #19
