@ann0616 I have my scan on the 15th of this month and my Dr appt on the 17th. I am anxious about getting the results as always. I am hoping to be off the meds and give myself a break. One thing I have tried not to do is schedule tests on a Friday. Makes me worry all weekend. I have been exposed to so mamy germs of late. Cold, GI viruses etc. One thing I learned is that Lysol and usually the Chlorox wipes you get at the store don't cover the Norovirus for GI bug. You have to have one that actually as bleach in it or Hydrogen Peroxide. If you get the GI bug in house you need one of those or make your own bleach and water solution. Also any contaminated clothing needs to be washed alone on hot and dried on hot. I will let you all know how my CT goes. Been on the BIG 3 since November 30, 2017.

Hi, I can’t use anything with bleach to clean! But I do use vinegar and that cleans anything that Bleach can also. I put in the dishwasher, with my laundry and all my counter tops. The smell is not high and I sometimes put some fresh lemon with it she thouse smells great. The last time I used bleach I coughed for two days and had problems breathing so I stopped all bleach from my house. Clean my shower heads all taps in my house with vinegar and I really love it. Hope it works out great for your scan and doctors appointment. Rita:)
