Glad to hear it went well, that you’re up walking, and even managed to eat!  I hope you heal quickly.

No answers yet.  The dr wants me to go off of the anti-depressant, which I’m doing now. Then I need to try another medication.  I’m on 5 days of antibiotics now, so I’ll start the new meds after I’m done with these.  Hopefully the new meds will stop the shaking.  As of now, there aren’t any answers as to why I’m shaking. All tests were neg…[Read more]

Yesterday, all I managed was taking a shower.  Today I’m determined to do more.  Waiting for a call back from my Dr for an appointment.  Think I have a bladder infection, ugh. Then I’m going shopping with my ex.  So I’ll at least get out of the house, and get a little walking in.

Having a carnation instant breakfast now.  Lunch will depend on t…[Read more]

Aww, thanks.  Met my goals, and even washed dishes.  Today was a good day!

Today’s goals are to shower, finish vacuuming the house, and actually go outside and fetch my mail.

Woo hoo!!!  Congratulations. That’s great news! It must feel great to have your independence back. And to have less pain. I’m so happy for you 😊

thanks, Sarah

I saw my neurologist today.  He said my brain and nerve tests were normal.  No definitive cause for my shaking so far.  I’m going off the ropinerole, which didn’t help the shaking and made me tired.  So hopefully that will help.

After my trip to NOLA, I’m supposed to go off the Paxil, in case that was causing my shaking.  A little bummed abou…[Read more]

Thanks Nikki, missed you too!

Just signed up!

Last day, yay!  Had 55 ounces, unplugged sporadically, ate over an hour ago, mostly ate junk today, but it was all at home.

I used to average 30 to 40 ounces a day.  50 used to be a really good, rare day.  Now I’m getting 50 to 60 a day, occasionally more.  I’m planning on continuing this challenge, since it makes me feel better.

I used to eat a little snack before going to bed. It helps me sleep better when I do.  It was usually small, like one or two laughing cow…[Read more]

I’m going, staying at the convention site.  So far, I’m rooming alone.  I’m getting there Tuesday afternoon, and leaving Sunday.

You need to bring business casual type clothing, and should plan on bringing a sweater or something, because it is usually cold in the conference rooms.  You can bring casual, summer clothes if planning on sight se…[Read more]

My cats bring me the most joy.  And sitting on my porch.  I love fixing up my house, when I’m feeling better; painting the rooms, hanging shelving…

Nikki and Kathy:  I started a quilt awhile ago, although I never did finish it, and haven’t done it in years.  I bought one of those monthly kits, you can even get them precut now.  Makes it easi…[Read more]

Lol, not going to curse you.  Was feeling very weak and shaky yesterday.  When I feel that way, I tend to eat junk, hoping it will make me feel better, even though I know it won’t.  And I just didn’t have energy to make things.  And yes, those are my comfort foods.

Unplugged and sat on my porch.  Drank 86 ounces so far.  Ate about 15 minutes ago, and will head to bed in about an hour.  Ate almost everything at home:  dug up 4 bushes, and was so hungry and tired that I got an ice cream cone from McDonald’s.  Was going to get a burger or something else, but got a cone instead (much healthier).  In hinds…[Read more]

Sending positive vibes, Kathy.  Things will get better, things will get better…  And this will make you feel better about your food choices (Nikki, I’m owning up to it):  today, I had protein drinks, ego waffles, 2 Hershey bars, a nonfat latte, spaghetti-o’s, mashies, and (gulp) 5 packs of banana dippers.  Embarrasing, but it was my day.  To…[Read more]

Welcome Lissa!  Glad to have you here!
