[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 453203, member: 84"] I've ran across that myself, not just addicts but alcoholics as well. I've called her out on "dropping" Alex on his head many times. Same with M's so called inability to read. You can't be as illiterate as he claims and do what he does on the computer. He plays tons of games that require reading, in depth reading. I've also called her out on the fake seizures I dunno how many times......and she dropped the chari malformation junk when I really burned her over it one night when I was totally fed up. Maybe she does have migraines.......most docs don't seem to think so. She has to go through several until she finds ones to write the scripts......and then they're super strict with her. As far as her migraines are concerned, wearing broken and lopsided glasses for lord knows how long, then none at all, and her teeth issues is enough to cause severe headaches all by themselves. She does ok for a while, then it's back to the old lies. It's like her mails......you'll get one or two with proper spelling and grammar, then the next several are full of misspellings and you're forced to decode the darn things.
