I've never written in a journal before although I have a friend who swears by it!
I'm always an optimist and I've always believed …

About Me
I am a business professional in the medical manufacturing industry who has fought insomnia most of my adult life. I recently found out that my cholesterol is very high and as mid-life has crept up on me so has my weight! I've decided that if I don't want to turn into one of those always tired, overweight and sick little old ladies I'd better get serious about taking care of my health! So . . . I'm changing my eating habits (although they weren't too bad to begin with) and have joined a gym! (We'll see how often I actually GO -- LOL! I really need a buddy to keep me motivated to work out - not my idea of a good time!) Hoping to find some motivation and support on this site!

Close Insomnia
I've battled insomnia most of my adult life. I've tried most non-prescription solutions out there and many have worked off and on over the years.
Treatments
- Ambien Working / Worked
- Works like a charm for me . . . works best if I stay up doing things until it "kicks in" . . . but lots of times I do weird things and have absolutely NO memory of doing it the next day! Now, if I take it I shut down my computer and actually TAPE over the switches so I can't easily turn it on . . . I've IMed/emails friends all kinds of jibberish. Or I've unpacked from a trip, etc. and never remembered it. So, although it works wonders I only take it if I'm desperate!
- Lavender Not Working
- I've tried lavendar lotion, sachets in my pillow, air fresheners, etc. but for some reason I just don't like the fragrance although I have a friend who swears by it.
Close High Cholesterol
Just found out that my cholesterol is up again to 323 and the doctor put me on meds. Trying the Cheerios, watching diet, and starting working out at a gym, hopefully will not have to be on meds long.
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- Fish Oil Working / Worked
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- Zocor Working / Worked
- Just started 3 weeks ago. Tried lipitor a few years ago but ended up with my legs aching so Dr. took me off
- Euthyrox Working / Worked
- Many years ago dropped by levels from 269 to 180 by just doing the spinning. I have moved and never got started at another place
