    • Good Luck

      From sugar09 November 15

      Sending some luck for you ~ hope it comes in handy ! I have not been on as much either. We are feeling the crunch too. We are not really celebrating the commercial side of Christmas this year ~ we are making a donation to a local food pantry instead. Soon, we will be on one income also. I don't think things look great for us either. This economy is hitting everyone so hard ! I hope you still celebrate something anyway. I am on a new medication and it is starting to work finally. It has been laying me up in bed with migraine headaches, and really was rough at first. But, I seem to be leveling out. Thanks for thinking of me ! Take good care, and keep in touch.
      Hugs, Sugar

      Hope you feel better soon. The flu and a terrible stomach bug has been going around in my area (e.g., upstate new york.) My nephew just got over it. In terms of my life, I'm trying to focus on things I can control, like food and exercise, versus financial worries. I actually did good today with intake. Need to pump up the exercise, though. Definitely a goal for tomorrow. Take care, Heather

      From zellierose October 20

      Yeah. Things are a bit better. My life is very stressful with money problems right now and I'm trying not to turn to food. I totally over ate last night at dinner! But, tomorrow is a new day. Good luck with the college application. It's a process, but well worth the effort. Take care, Heather P.S. I'm keeping your daughter in my prayers for a speedy recovery!

    • Close Prolactinoma

      Hi! I am 42 years old and was diagnosed with a prolactinoma in 1993 and began taking Parlodel/Bromocriptine and 3 months later was pregnant with my first child. 2 years later had my daughter and now at 42 have a 9 month old. I was taking Dostinex/Cabergoline with this last and know that I would have never become pregnant if I hadn't been taking medicine.

      Treatments

      Dostinex Working / Worked
      Fewer side effects than with Parlodel. Main side effect is being tired the next morning.
      Parlodel Working / Worked
      It worked but I had TERRIBLE side effects. Nausea and fatigue were the main problems.
    • Close Agoraphobia & Social Anxiety

      I have had Social Anxiety as long as I can remember, even as a little girl (I was known as shy). I always had to go somewhere with someone. And as an adult I have become Agoraphobic (I think). If I think I might be seen by and scrutinized by others I hate to leave my house. I AM able to leave with medication and if other people are with me. Sometimes, on rare occasions, with medicine I have to go somewhere alone but is extremely uncomfortable.

    • Open Diets & Weight Maintenance

      I'm trying to lose more weight but the weight loss has slowed down. I've lost 21 lbs. so far since October 2008. I know this is not a whole lot for almost 9 months but I feel if it comes off slowly it is better for me and less likely to come back.

      Treatments

      Eat Less Working / Worked
      This is working out for me the best because I eat what I want except I limit my carbs.
