Woke up with another one of my most desired headaches...NOT. Desired, that is. Try to make this explination short...yeah right, who me??? Went to neurologist for regular yearly visit. He put me on yet another med to go with what I am taking saying the headache clinics are having good results with the combo. Have been in a depression for about 2 weeks when it was time for shrink 6 mo visit. I mentioned headaches and new med. He asked how long I'm in depression, how long with new med. Just about the same time. Comes that he has other patents doing same thing...new med causing depression. I go off the med and wa-lah, no more depression. Now back to square one about headaches. This morning was a doozy. I haven't even told the first dr I stopped taking new meds.
#2 new problem...Today I go in for some yucky stuff to drink, wait 2 hrs and then get blood drawn. Diabetes testing. Keep fingers crossed I don't have it. For as long as I can remember I have been on the line, but never gone higher. We shall see. Ladies, THIS IS A WAKE UP CALL FOR ME. Now I really have to get serious about loosing weight and eating right. It's going to be hard as hell. I haven't been able to stay on any diet before, what makes me think I can do it now. Please, please, please keep me in your prayers. Bill says that "WE" will do this together and if I don't have diabetes, still, I will loose the weight.
After my bloodwk this morning I am going to lunch with my teacher sis. Of course thats a salad for me, good thing I love salads. She did the summer school thing and has a little time till school starts again so we take advantage of the time she has to be together. This sibling, I get along with well, so we socialize often with anyway.
The twins will be 5 tomorrow and having a swimming birthday party this next Saturday. We will pick up my mom and head up to Austin for that. With the herricane that just came in this week, we might still be getting rain, hope it doesn't put a damper on the party, hardy har har har.
I had the crown put on my tooth Monday. No sweat, went like a brease. All the hard work was the make ready appt. They told me to have the next one in front because my mouth is so small. I said "OK".
Another shocker to my fragial self these days. My psy is quiting private practice and I have to find another shrink. This finding new drs who I can have a good repoure with is no easy task for me. I hate finding new drs.(Lots of mispellings there, I know.)
So sorry this is such a downer, the next one will be better. Prayers to all who need them, BIG HUGS for all. ..Free

You know often meds combned with other meds cause problems such as depression, and some meds may fix one problem but create another... so I am glad that the dr caught on to that one!
Oh about the diabetes if you do have it then I am glad that you are going to be taking care of it and gee you are lucky to have your dh to be there by your side and to go through the eating part together.
You know you will be fine!
Now the part abotu the dr. retiring that is not good.. but maytbe he has a good dr that he can refer you too one that he knows you will get along with fine.
Happy birthday to the twins WOW 5 years old huh time flies!
Hugs, Lor
1. Yup I hear ya chick. About 15 years ago I was put on Deseryl (I think that is how ya spell it) and I became suicidal. Why by William had to take all the guns out of the house. Then he noticed that when I took the anit-depressant that I would complain about feeling ill. So he marched my little blank down to the doctors office and demanded I be taken off the drug. The doctor thought he was nuts so William took me off the drug. And my depression too went away plus the suicidal tendies never came back sense then... The come down from drugs that do not agree with your body is horrible. I got dazed and confused dizzy, weak... etc. etc... Now I am on Prozac and feel great with no side effects.
#2 Diabetes yikes! I hope your test come out fine. It is easyer when your partner in life goes on a diet with us ha? During the summer months it is easyer for me to loose weight because I love watermelon and all the other fruits that are in season during the summer months. Now winter is my depressing time of the year so I tend to eat more because I can not go out and play with my doggie from hell in the spa when it gets cold. Okay I will keep my body crossed in hopes that all your tests come out better then they were the last time. Tomorrow I have to go get a blood test too. I hate them ... I swear they take 10 tubes of blood out of my poor arm... that is why my arms are so skinny and all the fat runs to my tummy! ha ha ha.... You see even my body hates blood tests too... like my brain does... ha ha ha ha
3. Oh how did you do in the hurricane? Is you house still above water? I think I offered one of the girls my jet skis to use if they could not drive their car. I figure she came out of it alright or I would of heard from her?
4. When I saw a psychologist before I married William...(we had marriage conseling before we got married I wanted William to know exactly what he was getting himself in to ha ha ha there is no way I wanted to go through the super glue route again!) Any how William quit first then I quit on my own. Afterwards the psychologist kept leaving me meassages on the phone and sending me letters telling me how wacked out I was and needed help. Okay I agree with I needed help but this Dude was getting a little to friendly with me... I think a line must be drawn in the sand as to doctor patient relationships. Oh to find good doctors that I get along with is challenging too. I wonder why? ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...
5. Downers area cool we all can not be happy all the time so don't worry about downer posts. Me personality I think downer posts are good for my soul. Plus they give us girls a good reason to hash out with ya what is going on in our heads too when we repond to your post. Now if you start worrying about downer posts then I will have to!!! ha ha ha... As a result I wouldn't be able to post here any more because I would feel guilty! So how about we make a pack Free you can post all the downers you want just so long I can too... Okay? Okay thats a deal! In addition, misspellings? don't even worry your pretty little head out them I don't...
Have fun with your wonderful sister today! I've missed ya Free!
Aloha,

It is such a bummer to lose a doc that you know and trust and who knows you. The only good thing about it is that SOMETIMES having a fresh mind take a look at your problems can result in some effective solutions. I hope that works out for you.
Weight loss is another thing altogether. I have about 25# that I've been meaning to work on for a long time. I've finally, I hope, gotten pretty serious about it but there are sure a lot of ways that you can sabotage a diet. It's so hard to be careful about what I heat when I'm around family and I seem to be around family a lot lately. I'm with you, though...I love salads and most days I make lunch my biggest meal and go over to the hos[ital cafeteria and make a salad from the salad bar. The nice thing is that I can load it down with stuff and it still doesn't add up to all that much calorie-wise. I top my salads with cottage cheese now instead of dressing and like that just as much.
Anyway, good luck to you, hope the sugars stay where they belong and that the headache goes where it belongs...Somewhere Else! Take care.

I am sending big hugs your way! Juggling meds is always such a problem. I'm taking my mom back to the doctor today and I'm just certain that her problems have to do with the interaction of her meds. She is on a LOT of meds!
So sorry your headaches are back. I do hope you can get some relief. Hang in there girl! You are really a strong lady when you set your mind to it!! I'm thinking about you lots!
Many hugs,
Sooze
