    Ok...thanks!

    I'll look first to see which Walgreens near me carries it and then go tomorrow.

    Sorry no one answered Don. @Kate Ellery is from that part of the world but she normally spends a lot of time in the game department so she might not have seen your query. Maybe the alert will bring her here and she might be able to answer you in some detail. Dunno, but it's worth a try.

    1. lacrimal gland The tear-secreting gland lying in the upper and outer corner of the bony eye socket (orbit) and opening by many small ducts into the upper cul-de-sac of the CONJUNCTIVA behind the upper lid.

    I have Medicare Part A & B , prescription coverage and a supplemental policy. I pay nothing for doctor or hospital visits. I pay a small amount for meds except for my Tekturna. That is a top tier med and I have to pay $47 for that.

    Same here Chrissy! The prescription doesn't work. I think I really need to avoid using gadgets already.

    Our Medicare A (hospitalization) is free to everyone. Our Medicare B is for medical and, depending on if we have paid the yearly deductible, we will or not, have to pay something for some services. And, like others on Medicare B, we also have to pay a monthly premium. Our Medicare A doesn't cover the cost of admission into a hospital and that is why we have Florida Blue. Actually, some of my VA Medical costs have been partially paid by Florida Blue. Medicare has nothing to do with the VA, but the VA will try and get money out of a supplement insurance, like Florida Blue, and do.

    The eye drops the surgeon wants to get me are "top notch" eye drops that work much better for prior cataract surgery and post surgery than the ones that cost very little. So, if I want "top notch" laser cataract surgery, specialty lens and "top notch" eye drops, we will have to pay more for it. Medicare will help, but won't pay as much. Our drug plan doesn't cover nearly as much cost as we thought it would.

    Thanks for the valuable info Cody! Although paying more is a great pain the pocket.

    I have started taking 500mg of CBD oil... no THC, um maybe next time. Anyways, will keep you all posted on how this works for me.
    I find it hard to believe that it is a cure all for everything, like some claim- but hey - will give it a shot and see what happens. :)

    @Gloria Mitchell, some friends recommended that I use CBD oil for my back pain. I don't have any and haven't got any. I suspect that it varies in potency, just as all supplements and natural remedies seem to. I will be very interested to hear your report.
