Hi, The ticker shows up with a copy and paste.

Once you have made your ticker, go to the first box with the bb code stuff, right click select all, then right click copy. Then in this message box right click paste and you can preview it before posting.

Hope that helps, I am not a computer expert so I have to tell you like I do it!

Hi everyone,

Hi .. I to have PCOS and BP problems .. I wonder about the pcos and if it had any inpact on getting you appoved any insight would help me lots .......doing a three month weight history and next month will be my last and they will submit to my ins co ... i'm scared but i am going to do it ... thanks tracy

Tracy, I am sure that the PCOS played a role in getting me approved. One of the co-moabilitys they list is PCOS and it cause from being overweight. It can lead to fertility problems as well as diabetes.
