Did Prince have a prescription for acyclovir? Of Valacylovir? Or any of the virs?

Dr. S prescribed Valacyclovir in Kirk's name of the 19th. In text msgs between Kirk and Dr. S, it is stated that it should be taken for the rash.

Whose rash? Was Prince named?

Yeah, he was stubborn. I wonder if the "think it and it will be true" attitude permeated. He said he willed everything to happen and it did for a long time. Maybe he was willing to throw caution to the wind in exchange for that outcome. He struck me as bold and a risk-taker and I think it pre-dated Larry.

I think he lost some of that feeling of protection when his baby was born, though.

Towards the end, he seemed more humble and receptive but may not have wanted to know the extent of his situation. IDK.

Yeah, all good points.

.

It was alarming to see he was telling Judith that he insisted he'd have woken up on his own from the first OD. I do not think he took his health seriously. I tend to think he was annoyed that his health didn't fix itself in his later months. This might explain his disposition. It also might explain his slightly annoyed-looking body language in the Dr S security footage.

Yeah, I laughed at your observation...he did look kinda annoyed.

Anyway, we're going for a drink...I'm in Ireland!

Also need a break, ha.

The saga of it all.

It was documented ---
124.) The second prescription bottle located in Kirk Johnson's name was also issued on 4/14/16 by Sarah Elizabeth Boo and was for Clindamycin HCL ( used for bacterial infections according to drugs.com) with a quantity of 28. Upon examining the contents of the bottle I observed green and blue capsules stamped with C39. I counted 33 capsules, 5 more capsules than what was prescribed on the bottle.

Many believe his aversion to doctors was due to him being raised SDA - it's part of their doctrine.

HIV/AIDS is an illness, not a moral failing or character flaw. I am surprised it is still so charged. If Prince was HIV+, I can see why he hid it. There could be a tremendous feeling of shame based on many org. commenters, some as recent as yesterday. Many orgers somehow associate it with homosexuality (gasp!!).

Many folks today contract HIV from men who sleep with men and don't tell their partners because of stigma.

Why don't we 'air' that one out? That's the elephant in the room.

Well, one thing is true: Prince did not listen to doctors, regardless of whatever illness he did or didn't have. Really puzzled by that. What exactly made him so stubborn this way? My first inclination is to say it was Larry's style of preaching. After he came under Larry's tutelage, his approach to life was very much akin to Larry's: I'm telling you the truth and you can either agree or not, but you'll suffer the consequences of not agreeing with me. This very matter-of-fact, arrogant way of thinking really propagates a vibe of mistrust and paranoia, imo.

.

I could see Prince feeling pretty invincible because he was protected by god since he was such a dutiful practitioner. Except, you know, that's not how life works and god won't save you from mortality.

I don't know why Prince was so stubborn, but as a Christian, I agree with what you said about Larry's influence on Prince, since they both had the same beliefs, and were both Jehovah Witnesses. Most people who believe in God and the Bible, in which is God's word, tend to live by it, and try to follow it's teachings, and their faith in God causes them to believe that "nothing is impossible with God" as written, therefore they believe that nothing is impossible, and that they can be healed of any disease or illness, without going to a doctor or following their advice. Some really think that therefore, they don't need doctors or even medicine, that they can just ask, pray, and believe that God will heal them, and they will be healed, period! But, I don't think God works like that, and works according to His will for us, not ours, so many times, what we think is God's will is not, and we are sometimes disappointed when things don't work out as we thought they would. Yes, God can do anything, but that doesn't mean he will! The whole point in Jesus coming to earth, was to save us from sin, so that all who believe in Him, and accept Him as the son of God, could become His children, and have eternal life in Heaven, when their lives on earth are over. We were not made to stay here on earth forever, so we shouldn't expect to live forever. Sooner or later, we will all die, that's just a given. So yes, while God can heal us of certain diseases, and prolong our lives here on earth, that doesn't mean that we're here to live forever. I hope that makes somethings clear on what people in certain religions tend to believe, and how maybe Prince believed, although many are wrong in their beliefs, and take things too literally, when they shouldn't. Many have died, believing that God would heal them, without them going to a doctor or taking certain medications, that perhaps God in His infinite wisdom, gave the doctors to give them, or gave scientists the knowledge to create, that could help them heal, yet they refused to because they believed otherwise, but were wrong in their beliefs, so they missed what God had for them because of that. I hope that helps some to understand.

the thread topic title was too broad a question

I rushed to open this one back up. And my life because to busy to heavily moderate it. And it was hard, because I did not want to look like I was censoring certain thoughts.
