I had an appt. with my MDS today and she suggested adding Azilect to my Sinemet to help even out my on/off episodes. I have read that many of you are already taking Azilect. I have private insurance (i.e., I don't have group/employer coverage, I pay for my own policy) and the drug is in the formulary so I looked up the cost on the internet this evening and found that it costs about $510.00 per month! I'm curious about how others afford this drug. I also would like to know if anyone thinks it is so beneficial that it would be worth $510/month. Thanks for your help.

Gardener, female, 59, diagnosed at 55, 700 mg of Sinemet daily, 1 mg Azilect
Posted 11 February 2014 - 07:31 PM
I take it. Have taken it since 2006 when I was in the original drug study. I would not pay $510 per month for it. Currently, my insurance through my job has formulary drugs via mail order for $60 for a three month supply.

When I was first diagnosed with PD, my Neuro wanted me to start taking Sinemet. But, I didn't want to start taking "heavy" drugs. So I was prescribed Azilect. Like you, with my Medicare Part D plan, it would have been super expensive. Fortunately, since I'm a Vet, I can get a 90 day supply for $27 from the VA.
My experience with Azilect (prior to starting Sinemet) was that it did not offer me any reduction of my tremors. After 3 months, I went on Sinemet. The only reasons why I still continue to take Azilect is 1) For me, it's cheap and 2) My Nuero thinks I should stay on it (no harm no foul).
1000mg Vitamin D3; 81 mg ASPIRIN; 100mg LOSARTAN + 5 mg AMLODIPINE for High Blood Pressure; 6 tabs 25/100 CARBIDOPA/LEVODOPA + 1 mg RASAGILINE for PD + Started UDCA on October 16, 2013. Currently on 300mg 4x/day for a total of 1200mg.
On January 18, 2015 I started the following supplement protocol: • EGCg, Green Tea Extract: 400mg 1x/day • Triphala: 500mg 2x/day • NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine): 600mg 4x/day. I am also adding 1 tablet Centrum Silver Multivitamin/Multimineral Supplement which will be replaced by Solgar Formula Vm-75 Multiple Vitamins with Chelated Minerals when I need to reorder.

For my husband, we pay $50 for a three month supply through our insurance, it is what they call a "Tier 3 Drug". Once the insurance company made a mistake and removed my husband from our coverage (was supposed to be our son who got a job with insurance!). We went to pick up the Azilect and it was going to be $1,400 for a three month supply. We waited a few days until the insurance company could get his coverage straightened out before getting the prescription. I don't think we could pay the $510 a month.
Husband diagnosed in 2005-Medicines: Azilect, Artane, and Amantadine, Levodopa (1X/Day); Sister and Best Friend from Childhood also have PD

Customer relationships management (CRM) tools are used in many business settings to keep track of clients information and keep notes on interactions and other information. Healthcare facilities typically keep track of patient-centric information in EMR or EHR systems. This is an appropriate place for medical information about the patient, but how do healthcare organizations keep track of other information about patients? What tools are used to provide more personalized care and improve population health management measures?
The Ultimate List of Nurse Blogs and Social Media Accounts to Follow
The blogoshpere is booming with passionate and entertaining nurse bloggers. I've seen a few lists that compile the best nurse blogs or the top nurses to follow on twitter, pinterest, and even Google plus. However, I've never seen a single location where you can find a comprehensive list of nursing blogs and their social media accounts. It goes without saying that nurses who blog are also active on social media so why not get everything together in one location?
3 Awesome Nurse Valentine Gift Ideas
The perfect nurse Valentine gift idea is not as elusive as it may seem. Most nurses appreciate any thoughtful gift, but there are a few gift ideas that are truly awesome. Of course you could go for the traditional flowers and chocolates, but nurses work hard and deserve something more substantial. Also, flowers die and well, that's depressing and nurses have to put up with enough sad things on a daily basis.
Nurses: Manage Your Schedule on Your Smartphone with NurseGrid
It seems like everything in healthcare has been improved by technology. Unfortunately, a few key processes are still stuck in the past. Nurse schedules are still primarily managed on pen and paper. Hospitals require all patient information be documented in an electronic health record (EHR), but for some reason making sure that there are nurses scheduled to care for those patients is a matter that hasn't, for the most part, been modernized. Fortunately, there's an app for that. The problems of nurse scheduling can be a thing the past thanks to NurseGrid.

Can Whiteboards Improve Patient Satisfaction and HCAHPS Scores?
The patient experience is an area of healthcare that can no longer be overlooked. Patients are routinely questioned about the care they receive through HCHAPS surveys. The results of these surveys can have an impact of the level of Medicare reimbursement a hospital receives. According HCAHPS to December 2014 summaries, 21% of patients did not feel like nurses always communicated well, 36% did not feel they were always provided information about their medications, and 32% did not feel the hospital staff were always responsive.
First Place in the AJN Book of the Year Awards
The American Journal of Nursing has awarded the honor of book of the year to The Nerdy Nurse's Guide to Technology. The book received first place honors in the Information Technology/Social Media category.
I am sincerely honored and grateful that the AJN has selected my book as one noteworthy in the year 2014. To have my little technology and social media guidebook alongside textbooks and other prestigious nursing publications is mindblowing.
Best Nursing Specialty For a New Grad
Finding the best nursing specialty as a new grad is a challenge. Most nursing students are told that they should work at least 2 years in med-surg before daring to dream of working on a specialty unit. However many nurses, myself included, think that this is outdated information that may not be relevant to you. You read that correctly. It is a myth that new nurses have to work in med-surg before pursuing a specialty.
The Comcast Data Cap is Ruining My Life
The Comcast data cap that has been put in place within the last year is causing serious issues in my household. For the first time in forever (yes, I just quoted Frozen), I am forced to be conscious of my internet usage or else be forced to pay the price (literally). At $10 per extra 50gbs, it can add up fast. To make matters worse, it's leading to disputes between my husband and I over who is entitled to watch Netflix. As well as conversations with my son and I over whether or not he can watch another Youtube video.

Terror and North America: The Causes and Directions of Cross-Border Extremist Activity
September 19, 2012 // 2:00pm — 4:00pm
Canada Institute
Since the attacks of September 11, 2001, many American policymakers have grown increasingly concerned about terrorists or terrorist materials being smuggled into the United States from Canada. The myth that the 9/11 hijackers arrived in the United States through Canada contributed to the passage of laws that have increased the "thickness" of the border and hindered trade in the name of collective security. Do these rules safeguard against the true vectors of North American extremism? The Canada Institute's "Terror and North America: The Causes and Directions of Cross-Border Extremist Activity" will examine how and why extremists travel between Canada and the United States, what effect these crossings have on our national security, and what possible policy solutions exist to better police the border.

The Impact of Local Law Enforcement at the Canada-U.S. Border
June 14, 2012 // 9:00am — 11:00am

Stretching 5,525 miles, the Canada-United States border is the longest international boundary in the world. Every day, border officers from both nations inspect about a billion dollars in trade and hundreds of thousands of people in order to interdict harmful goods and persons at our shared crossing. However, the agencies in charge of the border and customs only have primary jurisdiction along the band that makes up the international boundary. Outside of that area, border security is left to other federal, state, and provincial police forces.

How to keep Amaryllis from growing too tall?
I have never grown amaryllis before. Got several Jackson & Perkins gift amaryllis this year, all planted in a peat mix. How do I get my amaryllis to grow short and stout instead of tall and ungainly without affecting bloom size and quality?
Don't believe every how to get em to grow better secret you hear gardenerzone, the booze might be good to rid some pest if misted from time to time but not for overall health of bulbs and growth
Re-pot em after flowering in a more open free draining non peat moss medium
And...there are some that are very tall! My Tosca is very tall and my Sumatra was an extreme 42 inches tall!!! Just enjoy them and stunt the cheap paperwhites!!
well, as i am in your camp of desiring that hippies be kept shorter, i disagree w/ the others. i, for one, am going to, once the bulbs start to put up their scapes, water w/ the alcohol dilution recommended in the article i posted in the other thread. i will eventually be posting about what happens.
Watering a potting medium with alcohol and having the bulbs in water with alcohol is two very different avenues, the latter being the ideal choice.
Once the plant has bloomed it isn't recommended to continue the alcohol regimen so you must be prepared to re-pot with fresh potting mixture as the old will be tainted.
To continue with the alcohol treatment would eventually adversely affect the bulbs performance unless your plans are to totally discard the bulb after blooming which doesn't seem to be the case.
A peat based soil will hold any liquid be it water or alcoholic longer than a more free draining medium.
As Kab said there are some that do get taller scape than others as a natural occurrence.
For radar: It's harder for any liquid to evaporate if the liquid is ALREADY in the soil compared to a liquid that isn't. As well they may want to consider the residual wanted and/or unwanted components that could have an effect on the over all health of the bulb. If someone said water with left over tea bags steeped a second time would also yield the same commented results Lastly what to use to water a plant with isn't or ever was meant to be as complex as you suggest.
Repeating that a simple solution is to enjoy the flowering may and then change the soil to a more free draining medium when the bulb is resting.
I agree whole heartedly that watering should not be so complicated I didn't write the article about the alcohol. I personally don't ever water with anything besides a little fertilizer. But as I know there are a lot of people that aren't serious growers but casual ones I only suggested it as an option. Just a side note too I use peat soil with all my hippeastrums with excellent results. It's all about water control, and environment. During the summer when it's 105 degrees my mix doesn't stay wet for more than a day or two. I think it's one of those things that need to be played around with and find out what works for you.
Thanks for asking, although unfortunately it is not going as planned as of a few days ago. The agency just canceled my assignment much to my dismay. Now its back to the drawing board. I havent a clue were we will be moving. There is a hint as to little rock, but I cant say anything for sure, I just love living in limbo. I hope it happens sometime soon because I dont know how long hippis can be forced to stay dormant. I have boxes already dried and keeping cold. In a few month my amorphs as well will start to wake up and then im in a world of problems as I have about 50 species of them to pot up. I did get a topper for my truck along with an outlet built in for a heater if it comes to moving plants in active growth, but its only one truck bed! I may be parting with some plants come spring if this thing still hasnt been resolved. And thats only ONE thing I have to worry about! Ha.

The two were selected from a field of eight would-be entrepreneurs by a panel of expert judges and audience members in the "American Idol"-style live competition.
Paluccio's Manhole Odor Eliminator addresses a real problem facing cities, utilities and special districts. San Francisco officials said last year they would spend $14 million for a three-year supply of concentrated bleach to combat that's city's sewer odor problems.
Instead of dumping millions of pounds of bleach into the drain pipes, Paluccio could provide units that drop into sewer manholes and capture odorous gases in replaceable activated carbon filters.
"Manhole covers is a sexy business," joked judge Brad Triebsch, principal of the Central Valley Fund. But more seriously, he said, Paluccio's company, Inventive Resources, offers a good business model.
A video of Paluccio and the MOE is below.

New Berlin - With more than $22.6 million worth of facilities projects needing to be done over the next several years, the New Berlin School District is exploring a number of financing options, including selling off an estimated $3.5 million of unused property.
A combination of two or more would be the likely choice, said Roger Dickson, chief financial and operating officer.
Of the district's $3.5 million of unused property, nearly $1 million is in vacant land in parcels of 50.4 acres, 20 acres and 9.3 acres. The rest of the property is in the form of closed elementary schools - Glen Park, Prospect Hill and Little Grove schools.
There is also the Hickory Grove Center, an old school that was sold to the city for use as a recreational facility. The district would only regain ownership of the property if the city decides it no longer has a use for the building. In that event, the district could again sell the property.
Paying for part of the projects out of the district's operating budget is a possibility, Dickson said, but there isn't enough leeway in the budget to cover much. That's because borrowing for previous projects leave little room under state revenue limits in the operating budget to borrow more, he explained. As a result, the district has ruled out using the operating budget to finance additional projects.
The district could, however, go to a referendum to ask residents if it could raise the revenue limits to get the work done, Dickson said. Borrowing $10 million would likely add $20 per year in taxes for the average home, he added.
Refinancing the district's debt would help only a little, Dickson said.
"The underwriters would make more out of the deal than taxpayers," he said.
Using fund balance - unallocated reserves within the budget - is another option that could help pay for some of the projects, Dickson said. But the schools prefer to maintain a healthy fund balance because of the risk involved in self-insuring for health insurance, he said.

The party was in full swing when there was a murmur and a tall, dark, handsome, well dressed man strolled in through the door with an attitude as if he owned the world. Every one rushed to meet and greet him wanting to congratulate him on the achievement of "The Most Innovative Entrepreneur" Award awarded by the international construction industries from all over the world. People clamored to reach him. There was such a frenzy that people watching from far could not understand what was happening in the center. But the man, whom people wanted to see, was searching for that one person closest to his heart.
His eyes roamed across the hall searching. Finding that person, he immediately went across and bent down touching her feet. And that person, to whom he bowed, was none other than Savitri Devi.
"Dadima", Maan said.
"Maan, how are you beta"?
"I am fine. Thanks, Dadima."
"How was your trip?"
"How was your journey?"
"It was long and tiring."
Maan Singh Khurana was a man of few words. He never ever willingly talked with anyone on his own, but always replied pleasantly when asked. After replying to a few more questions by Dadima he glanced across the hall for the most boisterous crowd in the hall from where the most chatter and laughter could be heard. As he sauntered across the hall he could hear the teasing going across the group, the group which consisted of Adi, Pinky, Geet, Dev, Naintara, Meera, Vicky Pari and Sameera, Sasha and Tasha.
"So tell me Geet, who was that man with you?" Vicky teased Geet.
"About whom are you talking, Vicky?" Geet asked
"Tell us Geet, was he your new boyfriend?" Meera sided with Vicky in teasing her.
"Meera, tu bhi na, kis ki baaton mein aagayi?"
"But Geet woh to tera deewana hai." Vicky could not help, but pull her leg.
"Hai re Babaji! (Looking up) in logon ko kab akal aayegi. Are yaar, woh toh mera boss hai na."
"Boss hai toh kya hua, hai toh insaan aur tera deewana." everyone started laughing and teasing Geet more hearing Pinky's words.
And Geet could do nothing except blush. Luckily for Geet, the person about whom everyone was teasing her about was busy with someone else.

Some helpful hints...
My name is Sarah-Ann and I am the Senior Sales Advisor at ETC Embroidery. I have been with the company since February and coming from an embroidery background, I was surprised to find that there were so many unique products available from one company that really enhance and improve embroidery.
The first of these products is the fibre unravelling spray. Every embroiderer has the problem of the puckering and pulling of the fabric and the fibre unravelling spray stops this occurring. The spray is sprayed onto the reverse of the fabric and then left to dry for a few minutes before framing up as normal. When the embroidery is complete, you can really notice the difference  the embroidery sits so much flatter and clearer. ETC customers have found this product to be "a must have for all embroiderers" and the results it gives really are impressive and are noticed not only by the embroiderer, but also by their customers.
Another unique product only available at ETC is the fabulon spray. This spray is perfect for removing the ring marks on garments.
I would suggest that you keep an eye on the website  www.etc-embroidery.co.uk which is constantly updated with new unique products and already has a very large range of consumables. There is also a link on the website to contact us if you require further assistance.
Kind Regards

The WJHC: Caught in a bad Romance
John Cullen
December 30 2011 10:53AM
I love Christmas. It's always been a big thing in my household, down from family traditions on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to going WAY overboard on gifts, to trying to cram as much turkey and dessert into myself as possible over 3-5 days. When you grow up in a household that places such a value on Christmas, once the holiday is over, there's an inevitable letdown.
Luckily for me, I've always had the World Junior Hockey Championships to fall back on. My grandma, who is likely the biggest hockey fan you could ever meet(definitely the biggest fan who is 4'10" and has white hair) and I carried the Canadian holiday tradition of watching games and screaming at teenagers for years. Waking up early, watching the games, trying to pick out who would be the future stars of the tournament, and enjoying the games made the holiday seem longer, and gave me something to look forward to after Christmas and even after New Year's.
Canucks beat Ducks 5-2, Fowl play is suspected...

Vancouver waltzed into Anaheim, played one of the worst teams in hockey, and waltzed out rather easily with two points. They got a bit of flashy goaltending and had to compete for eyes with a brilliant Alamo Bowl game which featured about eleventy touchdowns, but overall it was a fine performance. The Sedins capitalized on their chances and they will be talked about in depth tomorrow, but more things happened in this game.

Mason Raymond goes to the net

Mason Raymond does actually like going to the net.
So Mason Raymond is going to the net more, you say? Thom Drance has been fighting this battle, arguing Raymond's been no different this year from last, but it's hard for people to let go of what they 'see'.
Perhaps some visuals will help us assess this popular belief. Here's a run down of every single Raymond goal from last year.

It is not unusual for a professional athlete to be revered in the city he makes his home in during the season, but hated in most of the rest of the country or continent. In competitive sports, one team always has to win, and one team always has to lose. Teams that win more often than not are usually more hated than teams that lose more often than not (success breeds jealously), and in the past few years we have seen that highlighted with the suddenly successful (and suddenly hated) Canucks.

Canada plays for the second night in a row, but it should have no bearing on the outcome of this game. The Canadians are rolling right now with 13 goals for and only 1 against, the penalty kill is at 100% and they are getting goals from everyone. In the last game, expectations were put on guys like Mark Scheifele and Ryan Strome; they delivered. Scheifele had two goals in the 5-0 win over the Czech Republic and it seems that one of Canada's biggest strengths when they assemble these teams every year, is that when they need someone to step up, they do.
It's always been a feather in the cap of Hockey Canada and the coaching staff, as to how quickly these teams come together with such limited preparation time.

Sony Xperia i1 Honami surfaces in another round of leaked images
This sort of comes with little in terms of surprise at this point, but it looks like there has been some additional Honami related leaks. This time around we are seeing another image of the handset in a variety of colors. Nothing all that surprising given the color aspect has already been discussed, but as you can see below -- there is now the white, black and purple models sitting side-by-side in one single image.

Teacher disciplined for 'white Santa' remark
RIO RANCHO, N.M. — A New Mexico high school teacher has been disciplined because a parent complained that the man told his black son, a freshman, that Santa Claus is white.
Officials at the school in Rio Rancho, about 15 miles north of Albuquerque, announced on Friday that the teacher recently was disciplined, but they declined to say how.
The incident happened in the same week that Fox News Channel's Megyn Kelly said on the air that both Santa Claus and Jesus were white. She later said she was joking.

Hi all mountain bikers.
If you book an uplift day with Jim you are in for a treat. I have now done 2 uplift days with Jim and Mike at the Mountain Bike Adventure and both have proved to be absolutely awesome. I wasn't expecting to be particularly challenged by the first uplift day as I'd assumed they'd be a...

What is going on with my spearmint (bug)?
Hello! I am new to gardening in general, I started this Spring with various container plants, veggies and herbs.
Everything has been doing great.
I picked up a small spearmint seedling at a market and planted in a large container and it has been totally thriving and spreading and the container (10gallon) is almost filled in.
I check it almost daily since it's next to my back door by the patio.
Today I was pulling some lower dead leaves off and noticed the leaves were very sticky which is not usual. As I started looking closer, there were several leaves all stuck together with a sap like substance, very sticky.
All of a sudden I noticed in the soil, a small white, caterpiller looking bug! It was probably about a quarter of an inch long, if not smaller. White on top, black on the bottom, and it moved like a caterpiller. I tried taking pics of it, but I couldn't get my camera to zoom in close enough, so it was just a white blur.
Also, most of the leaves are covered with little white things. I'm not sure if they are eggs but they did not move and were stuck all over the leaves.
I took the one bug out, examined it, then squished it. Then I found one more on a leaf and one more in the soil.
I also saw some black gnats in the soil.
I have only used DE on my plants, since I had gnats when I started. Since using DE, I really haven't seen them anymore, except today.
I just dusted all of the soil with the DE and left it alone.
Am I going to have to toss the plant? It's so pretty! I am so upset! I tried to start taking off all of the leaves with those white things on them but there were so many!
Thanks for any advice and insight!
(*I'm also posting this question in the container forum)
Hi! Thanks for your replies! While I was searching online, I came across mealy bugs which sounded right since they attach and suck sap. But they looked nothing like what I saw in the pic. It didn't have legs like they have in the first pic I saw.
The ones in the link that msmarieh posted look closer to what I saw, only mine were smaller. So maybe they were very immature? I also didn't see any cottony stuff on the leaves. But maybe its very early since I check them often.
I will do more research on them and look for more suggestions.
Another thing that I am concerned about is if the spearmint is safe to use? Should I cut away all the sticky leaves and branches?
I'm going to try to spray the plant with the water hose today to see what I can remove. A majority of the leaves have those "white things" on them. I can't get my camera to zoom in enough to show what's on the leaves. I was out all day yesterday so i haven't even seen it since I posted this question.
Also, do you think the DE will help if they are mealy bugs?
Thanks for you help! I appreciate it!
