Are the needles for the lovenox that big compared to the insulin? Because if they are, definitely warrants me to more whining!! jk haha Yeah when I tried to give myself the shot this morning, I didn't go fast enough so the needle got stuck on the outside cuz it couldn't penetrate through...ouch! So I had to retry while also playing a mind game with myself!! haha Man you must have been in so much pain with all that stuff going on with the C-section, needles, and all! Definitely not a wimp in my book! Oh and I just remember how the nurse that taught me how to inject the lovenox gave me some practice needles to practice on unsuspecting fruit! Every time I think of that, I can imagine just creeping up behind a fruit on the counter with needle in hand. haha Hope you're having a fabulous day!! *high five*

Hi Kristy, I am looking forward to out whining you. PEs should stand for Paranoid Eejit - well that's me - what about Paranoid Elephant - that's me too - have you got any kinder ones - Paranoid Ecentric. Seriously every pain is a clot to me - I am now just telling all pains to F*** off, because I am sick of them. Just think of these shots as a bonus - who knows - everyone might eventyually be recommended to have them when preggers in the future, but I bet by that time it will come in pill form!!!!! Love Dawn x x

Close Pulmonary Embolism
Had a PE at 30 years old 24 hours after giving birth to my daughter by C-section.
Treatments
Close Obesity
As a result of emotional stress, which triggered depression and compulsive overeating, I put on about 130 lbs over about 3 years. I'm now emotionally more stable and ready to SERIOUSLY work on my eating.
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Somewhat Helpful
- IF I could stay away from certain foods on a regular basis, I wouldn't be in this boat.
- Breast Feeding Working / Worked
- OMG- If I could have done this forever, I would have! Pounds MELTED off. But alas, couldn't produce enough to breastfeed for long.
- Elliptical Trainer Somewhat Helpful
- I mean...if I made it to the gym OFTEN enough to USE the thing, I'd be good...
- LA Weight Loss Not Working
- Yeah...I cancelled that contract within the 72 hours allotted by my state to cancel a contract.....too expensive!
- Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful
- I think we can all agree that excercise works IF YOU DO IT!
- Swimming Working / Worked
- Again, if you actually get up and go swimming, you could reap the rewards! It's teh getting up and doing it I have a problem with!
- Weight Watchers Working / Worked
- This works. But I didn't stick to it.
- Psychotherapy Not Working
- This did not help me one bit! And I was seen by a very wellknown Eating Disorder clinic where I live.
Open Parenting Toddlers (1-3)
My daughter is one years old in October 08. Not a good sleeper!
Treatments
- Attachment Parenting Working / Worked
- Patience Working / Worked
Open Food Addiction
31 year old, 130 pounds overweight. Compulsive overeater who bonges to release stress or emotions.
Treatments
- Overeaters Anonymous (OA) Working / Worked
- I've tried so many other things! The group experience is helping like nothing else. Not even weight watchers made this much sense to me!
Open Gastric Bypass Surgery
5'3" and 260 pound female with weight related medical complications that have made pregnancy high risk (high BP, hx of pulmonary embolism). I would like more children (if God wills) and am in the midst of my 6 month process before surgery.
