A lot of good information in here.

Jaden, I wanted to ask you if your pharmacist friend has fibro? A person who doesn't have fibro doesn't understand how it feels for us.

Here's a link to the Comforpedic mattress:

The video talks about the coolness and comfort.

Good luck.

Yea, I am going to start keeping recipets and such this year. I didn't know you could use those towards your taxes. I have synthroid that I take on a regular basis and by the end of the year that adds up for sure. I was reading a bit on this medical deductions and I was amazed at how much we've probably missed out on this last year. So, starting now I'm going to and have my husband as well keep up with all that information. I mean you might as well take advantage of it. Espically if you go to the doctors fairly regularly for follow up appointments and such. I get my meds refilled once a month and I go to the doctor every six to nine months depending on how things are going. Hubby goes for various things regarding his back. I wish they'd tell us at the beginning of the year what can be put towards your taxes instead of waiting till nearly tax time before these things come out. I'll just start a file for us and throw all that stuff in there.

that is great. I always keep everything
even for a cleaning service I have..... I put that into taxes too
my doctor wrote a script saying I cannot do it..
all kinds of things
even special pillows from a ortho store..
cannot hurt to keep receipts
but make sure a doctor writes a script..!

This is all very interesting. I have a coworker who has celiac; he says that if you have a note from your Doc and you keep your receipts, you can write off all of the gluten-free food you have to buy. I wonder if I can find out what kinds of receipts to keep for taxes next year; maybe Ill just keep them all...

medfree, she does not have fibro that I know of, but her now-ex-husband did from what I understand...

I am now going to go search for info about medical expenses and taxes *spastic google search!*

yes even ibuprofen get a script for that.. you will save on taxes when buying it at the pharmacy.

even my eye drops... I have a script for them and they are OTC. but
still no tax at check out. and I put it into taxes..

my iron pills are OTC but I have a script as are my B12 pills.

I found this: www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc502.html

Im going to be asking about B12 shots, because I get nothing from the pills--even the sublingual ones which are supposed to be better.

I don't find the B12 pills do anything either....
your link is for the USA right....

I am in Canada. maybe different here..

I am going to check out your link tho...

and don't forget about taking a receipt from the doctor's office

if they charge you if they have to write a letter for you

for disability or for you job (if you work)

I even have a volunteer that takes me to the doctor

and it is a small sum.but I get a receipt from the volunteer place

and I put that in for medical.

Starry-Eyes, I didn't know the bed was for you alone. If it is, you wouldn't have to get the Sleep Number that has two mattresses and it would probably be very comfortable just for you. If you have the money, buy the bottom mattress that has the controls to raise the bed up like a hospital bed (it will make it easier for you to get out of in the morning) AND it also has vibration which feels wonderful.
