thinking of you
Hi Emmy,
Hugs!!! I hope you are getting sleep and doing well.
Hi Debbie! How are you today? or should I say at this minute? That is how I take each and every day. Minute by minute other wise I get overwhelmed. If you don't mind, I have 1 important thing to tell you about going to the Dr. Between appts. try and write down how you are feeling, not everything, but if you notice something feels off, write it down and try to describe what your thoughts or body is going through. It doesn't have to be fancy and can only be 2 or 3 words, just so it will help you remember how you felt at a certain time. Then , when you go to the Dr. take those notes with you and no matter how dumb, silly, embarrassed it might seem to be , tell your Dr. Tell him as much as you can about every little thing you are going through. Communication, communication, communication! I think it is one thing people don't do well with their Dr's is communicate how they are feeling in detail. If you don't tell the Dr., he won't know, and then he can't help you. Sometimes the things that are going on within you could be medication side effects, food interactions or anything you may not even think of. That is what helped me the most is to tell your Dr. everything. I hope I am not sounding bossy, and yes at first it will be hard to do, it took me along time to start writing things down, but I think you will find it a big help. I always got to the Dr's office and my mind went blank when he asked me how was I doing? I eventually started a log and I do not write in it everyday, but when I need to get an emotion out, I write how I am feeling. (You don't worry about spelling, puntc. or anything). If you don't want anyone else to know who or what your writing about, scribble the words so no one can read them. I hope I helped a little, give it some time to remember to do it. I got just a regular notebook or 2 and put them out in places I could see them and I could easily get to them. I will let you go! Hang in there, you are not alone and I am always here if you need someone. Love ya, Marcia
