A place where we can "do life" together, or at least talk about it. You won't be told "that is off topic" here. Share experiences, get advice, be silly, be sad, be supportive. (Try to say: share, silly, sad, supportive, 20 times without slobbering, if not, you are in! lol either way your "in") Let's just be whatever we are at the moment, and be "in" touch with...

I need a break

I'm sick again. In October they found spots on my mammogram. In November they thought I'd need a part of my colon removed. In December my eyes started eyed itching and swelling. (We are still trying to figure this one out). And now....I have spent the past week in bed with severe pain in my  side. I finally have an appointment for tests out of town tomorrow. I am very disgusted because I am always there for others, but I have no one to drive  me so I have to drive myself, despite the pain. If they don't find anything, I will have to wait to be scheduled for more testing. I dislike waiting when I am in pain and I think it's horrible to be made to wait.   Once I know what's going on and it is dealt with, I think I am going to  go away for a while. I just need to get away  from  things (and the husband).

I hope the medical system works harder at listening to patients and arriving at practical solutions where they don't just recommend a surgery to remove somethings. I'm quite sure that if we're making nodes and stones, our system is out of whack somehow and that's what they should be looking at, the overall situation. Nodes are created when our bodies aren't filtering right (too much acid from what I've heard lately), and stones are a byproduct of our not breaking things down. Surely, they can have real solutions that don't just promote drugs and surgeries. Maybe I need to find myself a new doctor myself. I tried to call an endocrinologist but was discouraged I never got a call back. Time to get more forceful. One office mistake should be so discouraging.

We all need to become advocates for ourselves now a days. Never have I experienced so much nonsense in trying to get to the bottom of things

    Usually I get a daily influx of emails on health topics.  An article from Dr. Mercola really stood out recently though because it mentioned that fat cells have their own mitochondria. Not only was this the first I'd heard of this, he also mentioned that fat serves a purpose in our metabolism.  Another new factoid for me.  The bottom line for me was to appreciate that even our fat cells play a...

    I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital.  I don't think that we will have her much longer.  She is very frail.  Now she needs help eating.  So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying.  I think crying releases toxins into my body.  I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
