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

(((((Free)))), such a lot of not-so-good stuff on your plate! I sure hope all those tests come back saying positive things! I hear ya on the diet stuff. I have never had a lot of luck with any diets I've tried so far. Seems like the only thing that works is cutting back portions and moving more, drinking more water. If I have to write things down or count calories, I get too distracted and discouraged. So, what I'm saying is, I hear ya, and I'll be empathizing with you all the way, girl! This is also something I need to do, too! When my hip feels better, I told Frank that I'm going to get back in shape and never look back!

Can your current psy. recommend a colleague that he or she thinks would work well with you? Sure sorry about all your challenges right now.

Hugs,

Red

Hi Red, yes, I'll find out a bunch of results next Friday. I hear you are getting along well. It must be a bummer with the walker, but soon you will just have the cane and then no help at all. Gee, what are you going to do first. So many years with the pain only to be able to do things without any. Keeping you in my prayers.

Yes, my psy reccomended several but none on my ins list. We will see if the therapist can do better and then if not, I'll go back to the others. I know how important it is to get one I feel comfortable with and only seeing this kind of dr twice a year, I'll get one not on our plan if nessessary. BIG HUGS. ..Free

Free,, I hope that you get feeling better soon, my oldest ddaughter went through a depression a while back really bad, so bad she didnt want to come out of her house or go any place, it turned out to be thyriod. since then she has done alot better, it also can and most likely is a vitamin in balance, your lacking something in your system. If you can find anyone that works with vitamins and herbs, see if they can test you, to see what your lacking, I am telling you it works, Tracey did it and shes alot better. I do hope that you find another doctor, one thing doctors do is hand out all these meds, and there just masking the problem instead of finding the root of it all. I need to get my fanny dressed and out on the ladder to paint some trim before I can hang another set of shutters. I have a graduation to go to this afternoon, plus I want to get back and go to the baloon fest. have a wonderful weekend, I hope tht the headache goes away,,,, hugs,,,,,,,,Pam
