so, feeling as thou i was on overload of my med, i cut it back on my own.
may not be a good idea, but iam trying,
i seen my medical doc today, thinking after what all i told him was going on, he would want to check me futher...
i guess i was wrong on that one too..
we talked, i told him all that has been going on with my leg pains and how i feel, and he checked my heart, took my b/p and then shook my hand and siad see you in 6 months!

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
Our doctors make sure we don't have something that is about to be really bad.
For me, I have lots of pain this week in my back. It feels like it stings. I know I am OK. All my bloodwork came "normal".
I am fortunate that I have a family doctor who said to me about anxiety and panic, "It is a real thing. I see people here in my office a lot. Unfortunately, we are still not at the point where we can check your serotonin and GABA in your brain to see exactly what is needed."
BTW, I have Hashimoto disease/hypothyroid. I know that we thyroid can cause us to feel panicky and have pains and weakness in our muscles. I try and walk for one hour each day that weather permits. That helps some.
I hope you feel better soon, Betsy
ive had thyroid problems for years now..
but i have never had the leg crmps like this?
anyway, ill get there, jim has another surgery this morning, lord, i need some strenght today!

In the meantime maybe try to accept that for now?..and get through the next few days of Jim's surgery and "try" not to project? sounds like overload hun for sure..I am going through this and have to pick my priorities now.
Be Well..hugss

I wonder if you are low on anything like Calcium/Magnesium/Zinc and if your doctor would have a problem if you started taking this supplement. I've heard that a deficiency in these cause charlie horses and leg cramps.
Also, I buy epsom salts and soak in a tub with 2C at least once a week. Epsom salts are magnesium and are supposed to help with muscles.
I know that in years past if I ask about vitamins some doctors told me I was wasting my money but as long as they don't think it is dangerous I have tried them.
One other thing I had been taking for a couple of years and quit recently was Osteo Bi-Flex. It is supposed to be for joints. I just wonder if mine and my husband's back pain coming back has anything to do with us having stopped taking it or if it is a coincidence. I'm giving my back another week before I go buy it again.

Best of luck!!!

I wondered about potasium, also. Depending on what medications she's takes though it why I think a doctor or pharmacist should be asked to make sure no bad mixes.
I've been eating a banana a day since reading on here someone said it was good for anxiety. My potassium was in the normal range last week when I had my annual. Also, B12 was fine.
