Wow.

I'm really sorry about your son, and truly hope all is well. Scary.

I found extended (time) release melatonin AND combination melatonin -- half quick onset, half extended release. I do notice a bit of difference with staying asleep if there's some extended-release involved.

Unfortunately, a couple months ago, I learned what an electrophysiologist is :-(

I just saw a news article, yesterday, that said that -- in most substantive ways -- yoga is as good for you as cardiovascular exercise like walking, jogging, or cycling. Doesn't lower blood sugar (FBG) or A1c, but ... in most ways ... as good.

Nothing puts more free time in your day (other than insomnia, I guess), but yoga is awfully portable, and ... ten minutes is better than nothing :-)

I'm kind of -- by default -- a recovering cardio junkie. Yoga's a pretty beautiful thing. Again: I need to practice a lot more before I bother to preach, but ... I'm heartened to see the health benefits are really quantifiable.

Doo: that's a really helpful site. Thanks ! I've bookmarked it.

Cecil: good to know you've found a place for it in your life where it was helpful. I can't imagine trying to work or socialize high, anymore, but ... oh ... there was a day ;-)

Not judging, it just never had the good effect on me I saw it have on others. I got paranoid or depressed instead of mellowed out. It's legal now not just in parts of the USA, but in Uruguay, where I grew up. I was just there last September. But alas, though legal it's just not for me.

David- Yesterday marked 6 months of Victor being NED (No Evidence of Disease)! Interesting that our terrifying journey began with a trip to the ER last Christmas evening and this Christmas marked such a joyous occasion. Thank you for your concern :)

I used to take a class called body flow. It was a mixture of Yoga, Pilates, and Thi Chi (I'm pretty sure I butchered that spelling). Not only did I notice a huge difference in my muscle growth, but also in my mental health. Beautiful is the exact way I would describe it as well. It's very calming and there's something very sweet about it. Unfortunately, those classes are only offered during the all important dinner hour, and while I know I need to get better about putting my needs first at times, I have a very difficult time making commitments that take time away from Victor.

it really dose help

So ... the way I've been dabbling in yoga is through videos that I can either download from our cable provider (via the TV) or even YouTube videos.

If I had to go to a class ... I never would. Heck ... I'm struggling mightily just to get those ADLs done ;-)

I've never heard a parent of a toddler complain about having too much time on their hands. I wonder if the TV/cable/internet route could work for you .....

Glad Victor's okay. Happy Anniversary, then, for a HAPPY anniversary.

I'm not a parent. I was a step-parent for a few years. It's a hard enough job without the added benefit of our lovely little anxiety disorder ;-)

I have picked some up today :) My evening is planned.

I don't but it has been suggested to me multiple times. People tell me that I would feel a lot better if I smoked weed. They tell me I need to chill out and stop being so anxious.

Well, I found some. Really wasn't that difficult seeing as a good friend of mine has a small pharmacy in his basement. And man, oh man, you all were not lying about it being much stronger now than it was a decade ago! Two hits was all it took and I was pain free (physically and emotionally). I lay in my bed so acutely aware of the goofiness playing around in my mind rather than the normal catastrophic thoughts. That part was magnificent!

However, my body was covered in a strange tingling sensation and my whacky thoughts left me too giddy to sleep. I gave it the old college try and have determined it's just not for me. ;)

I smoke weed dab , honey oil, butter are some the different names
I find yes you get bigger high but it is worth the time patients and I make 4g butter for 1 oz of good quality weed high potenticy
For good batch plus you only need .1 of gram to get same effect and feel more relaxed and be at ease

If you need help on this and get hing it r ightnthe first time resherch and you can speak whit me

IGotThis,

Your experience with it is similar to mine when I gave it the old college try, myself. I came to the same conclusion. Sigh.
