Tell your doctor if you experience hair loss, dizziness, loss of appetite, yellowing of skin or eyes\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

That was her, the yellowing of skin or eyes. That was the side effect she\u2019d had from the arthritis medication she\u2019d been on for six months. She was a tester. It paid well. She\u2019d started soon after she\u2019d lost her job in the layoffs and couldn\u2019t find work.<\/p>\n

Been through and over it at least three years ago but the money was good. She found her notebook. Noted the time and rated the pain as a six out of ten. Duration was only ten seconds, but that was longer than ever before.<\/p>\n

Will try to see them tomorrow.\u201d The depression crept up on her slowly but she did write it down when she talked to her contact. Just as he\u2019d suggested she do.<\/p>\n

Yes, that had been her too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
