Just wanted to say greetings to all. I don't have a lot of experience with forums on the 'net other than the forum on a much-used (and currently very backed up on orders) IOP, so it is going to take me some time to figure out how all of this works. To introduce myself in brief, I'm a grandfather in my mid-50's with another grandchild on the way, and a  project manager for a giant hardware and software company, worked on the hardware and software professional services side of the company for the last 10 years, and for similar firms in the same capacity for about 15 years, and have just recently transferred to the human resources department to manage projects dealing with the onboarding of personnel from firms that we acquire or merge with - I'm hoping the work in my new position is a bit less stressful, as the past 25 years have made a wreck of me...I have chronic anxiety disorder, insomnia, and ADHD, but aside from a completely missing disk at L1/S2 and a mostly degenerated one a bit higher up in my spine, the only other condition I have is one I've overcome, I'm a heart attack survivor (my attack was three years ago this month), and the diet I follow plus the bit of exercise I get every day (mostly long walks with my wife) seems to have both stabilized my BP and lowered my cholesterol, so I'm really hoping there won't be a repeat performance of that experience, it was unpleasant, to say the least.
Like many of you, I have good insurance, but Doctors being Doctors, I'm under-prescribed a couple of the meds I've been on for years and years, and I supplement my prescriptions by using the well-known (and currently very backed up on orders) IOP. I haven't used any others except for a few now-vanished SY vendors while they were good (they are always good, aren't they, until they suck you in with that one last order and disappear), a generic Viagra supplier in China, and a well-known Modafinil / Adrafinil only supplier in India, so I'm a little concerned with the backlog of orders from my current IOP, and am looking for alternatives to them until they get their issues sorted out.
I'm not sure I have much to offer regarding help or advice with even my own conditions, I more or less follow my Doctors recommendations and use the meds they prescribe, supplementing a couple of them that I've developed a large tolerance to, one past where the Doctors will increase the dosage any longer, but I'll do my best to contribute information where I can.
I'm off to eat lunch, will be back (likely this evening) to read the forum rules and try to learn my way around.
Respectfully,
b2g
