I am all for being proactive...
My 3 kids have had their immunizations from the time they were little and they are now 19, 17 and 14. But most of the vaccines they got when they were small in the 80s and 90s had been around a long time and the doctors were familiar with side effects. Until they know for certain what effects Gardasil has, it's not going to fly at my house.
anybody try Proactive?
wanted more opinions before I shell out for it. TIA 
proactive
I've tried just about everything throughout my adult life, and I finally found what works for me! Clean & Clear cooling toner with glycolic acid. I use it at night after I cleanse. It's a lot cheaper than Proactiv but it did the trick for me.
Proactive
Love it.
Proactive
Doesn't work like they said on TV, not by a long shot. Not to mention I was dumb enough to buy it while out of town at a mall kiosk who SAID i could return after 30 days no questions asked even in my out of state residence...well when 30 days was up I found out you have to return it at the place you purchased it so $80 down the tubes. I bet I could have received a very nice facial/spa day for that price!
Oh, I really like Proactive. nm

Your choices are to either be proactive and do something...
positive about your situation, which IMHO is to leave this mess or continue to live this sorry life and whine about it..in that case you are not a victim but an enabler and a contributor. Would you want your daughter to live like this? Would you want your son to treat his wife like this?
Get the dentures, but be proactive about the fit and look.
My MIL had horrible teeth and refused to address the problem. She was in constant pain, her gums were bleeding, her lips swollen, and her breath was unbearable. When she finally called me one day, she was weeping from the pain. I was able to bet an immediate appointment with our dentist, who happens to be a family member. He had seen her for years at family events and watched her suffer through meals, etc. When I brought her in, he was almost afraid to touch her. He said he had never seen such a bad state of a mouth before in anyone living or dead. (He works for the health department from time to time identifying bodies from dental records.) She was truly a wreck. The infection she had had in her mouth could easily have spread to her organs, and she has known valve issues.
After quite a long process of extraction, healing, and fitting, she now has new dentures. She used to smile and show black teeth through swollen lips. Her face is completely different now that the swelling is gone. She no longer has bad breath, and she can eat anything she wants. She did have a very difficult time with fitting her dentures because of the damage done to her jaws by the infection. As that healed and bone grew back, she needed to have the dentures adjusted, and I believe completely replaced at one point. At first, she didn't want to return when the fit was not perfect, but we all pushed her to do so, and now she is glad we did.
You're teeth will not get better on their own. It sounds as if you have a complicated dental history, so it may take some time to get dentures that fit well. Give yourself some time and communicate with your dentist.
Good luck! I know you must feel miserable. I hope this improves for you soon.
I know if SHE doesnt get proactive and take charge

I'm glad you reminded me of Proactive. I'll never buy that again, either.
It did absolutely nothing for my son's acne. The only thing that actually did help was a very good dermatologist, and she had nothing nice to say about Proactiv. It's overpriced and just doesn't work for most people who use it.
Prefer GE
I prefer GE appliances, and that's all I use. Don't like anything else. I would get the heavy duty with the large tub for the larger loads.
I prefer a

I currently wear Acuvue but my eyes get so dry. Any opinions are appreciated!
Thanks
i prefer frontline plus,
it takes care of fleas and ticks. My vet has it cheaper than on-line.
I also prefer died
tells it like it is. Expired just sounds dumb. I have not heard these in medical records but here are a few terms for disabled people I hate (I am disabled): Differently abled, physically challenged and - (gag) - handicapable. Who came up with these? Admittedly, crippled does not sound right anymore and handicapped sounds passe but just plain disabled will do.
I prefer to be called...

I'd prefer to stay mainly anon except to say
I recently relocated to Texas (I have a few co-workers/friends that visit these boards and I really don't want them to know about my daughter's situation, it's rather embarassing to me).
I'm very angered with the school system. Not just this situation but also the special ed stuff going on with my son. The district my kids are in seems too busy to really want to deal with the parent. That's why I know if I marched down there tomorrow about my daughter's punishment, I'd get nowhere but have a headache. It's just not worth it to me right now, as I'm so very busy and with the holidays, it all stinks, ya know.
Thanks for listening.
These are my two most favorites, but I prefer the CSI in Vegas...sm
I think Grissom is awesome!
i used to prefer stethoscope type
(i've been doing this many many years) and used the foam in ear flex type more recently. Looked into active noise canceling and didn't want to mess with batteries etc, and opted for passive 'noise canceling', now using the Bose, over/head, over/ear type and really like them a lot (not too pricey off Ebay).
I prefer over -- but most days I'm just tickled if 1 of
I prefer superficial relationships
I find that the only people I like are the ones I don't know very well. So I try to like everyone I meet, and just keep it light.
Sounds like you prefer to accuse first, ask later.

I usually prefer a hotel bed. Most people's
I can stay up til 2AM like I usually do, eat whatever, get up late, have M&Ms for breakfast and watch cartoons if I feel like it. And don't have to keep on being chatty and nice. I can just be my grouchy old self in a hotel room. The TVs are usually better too, and you don't have to wait to use the bathroom.
Most doctors I know prefer women that are open....sm
and not trying to act like someone they aren't. Just treat him like a regular person and hopefully you'll have a great time.
Oh I much rather prefer my furry friends to the kids now
also, so much easier, less cost, always loving, always there for you, cant do without my precious ones.
Absolutely true; that's why I would think most people prefer girls.

I agree - I would prefer Ariana Huffington to Oprah!!
There are all types of gods, not just yours, guess it depends on which one you prefer to believe in.
