Good morning again..coffee is on. Everyone is asleep at my house. I just cannot seem to sleep late....got a busy day planned, have to get ready to leave for FLorida tommorrow. I have the kids semi-packed but I have to pack myself, do laundry, go to the grocery etc. We are leaving tommorrow right after church.... :dizzy:
My blood sugar and insulin came back normal so that was good news. All this exercising and eating right must be helping, now if I could lose a few pounds I would be happy.
:lol:
Pooky-I wish my kitchen was being demolished I hate it.
Ruthie-I am jealous of the baggy clothes!!!
I hope everyone has a great day!
:p

Scooby have a wonderful trip!!! Wish I could stow away in a suitcase or something--too cold here!
All I have to say is that yesterday as probably one of the worst days in my life. I went to the doctor to ask for a lower dosage on my Paxil and he agreed to it. He then turned around and told me in no uncertain terms that I was to NEVER go off my Paxil again. He told me that my condition is serious and all I am doing by trying to wean myself off of the meds is hurting myself. He told me that he would never tell a diabetic to stop taking insulin, so why would he tell me to stop taking my Paxil? He told me that this condition has been latent in my body because I was born with it and I can't change it. I asked him if I could ever be cured and he said that as of 2002, there is no cure, such as there is no cure for diabetes yet. All Paxil does is manage my condition. I cried all the way home from the doctor's office. Got onto the internet to find out more information on www.paxil.com only to find out truly that this is a chronic illness and I will probably never be allowed to go off the meds. I also found out that it is a special class of meds, basically a serotonin booster, although it is within the large realm of antidepressants. I cried most of last night because now I have to accept the truth that I can never be the same again. You know, all this time I really thought that if I worked hard enough and I tried to have a calm lifestyle, little stress, that I could get off the meds. Turns out none of those factors have anything to do with why I'm on the meds. I am so angry that my body has betrayed me like this. I'm still not giving up on life, I have too much to offer, but now everything I do will be the same as it has been for the last 2 years. The hope of it ever being the way it was before I was sick is gone and that is the hardest thing for me to accept.
Sorry I've gone on and on but I'm so damned sad and angry and since you guys are my support with just about everything :) I knew you'd understand. Please keep me in your prayers since it seems I really need them :(

Pooky! Sweetie! Have I told you how much I appreciate you lately? Well, I DO!
It is times like these that I often think of flowers. Each one is different, each one has its own peculiar quirks and EACH ONE IS BEAUTIFUL. This is a life lesson that I try to instill in my children and those who may look at my "little guy" and just kind of scratch their head in wonder.
Think of all the people that you may see while you are out. Some are more attractive outwardly than others. Some may struggle more on the inside than others, but each and every single one of them is a source of beauty...There is Something about every one, that, despite their own peculiar "quirks" makes them wonderful and HUMAN!
So, Pooky, you have a quirk!!!! (don't slug me ok?) BUT!!! It is a quirk that CAN be managed and you can lead a productive and joyfull life! You are special, and I am so blessed to have gotten to know you!
There is a story about a woman who thought she was going to Italy, but due to circumstances she ended up in Holland. She had to make some adjustments, read up on her new location but still she could enjoy the journey. Both are beautiful, but very different...but beautiful just the same. Hey! your not in Afganistan are you? :D
love you to pieces Pookster!
peach!
ps...Scoob...have a great time...wish I was there with you!
Ado Annie! great to see ya! How is your son? The little kidlets? Not been laying on any beds of nails have ya? (you should have gotten combat pay for that one!!!)

Oh, Pooky - I'm so sorry you are upset but it is just a stage in the process of acceptance you are going thru right now. You ARE such a wonderful person and DO have so much to offer that I, for one, am so glad that the medical community has a drug they can offer you to control your condition so you can live life to the fullest. Please try to concentrate on the positive things in your life. (I know you do this most of the time! You are one of the greatest spiritlifters here!)
Hang in there, sweetie. Do some 'just-for-Pooky' stuff today, k?
I am sooooo sore today from working out! But that is a good thing, right? Leaving shortly for Bryan's baseball tryout. Beautiful sunny day here - a good day for baseball!
Gotta jump in the shower - everyone have a good day today!

Wow, Pooky. I am not sure of your history, but i am assuming that you are suffering from panic attacks or anxiety? Doctors are supposed to help us with anxiety, not scare us worse! I am thinking of you!
If it makes you feel any better, i have suffered with stress and anxiety problems for the last ten years. It started in college, and i eventually saw a stress therapist and a doctor for it. However, at no time did i end op aggreeing to take meds for it, since I had watched my mother stuggle for 2 years to go off them I say this because I thought it might make you feel better to know that though some anxiety can be hereditary and stuff, you might want to seek another opinion. I did and was offered a referal to a nutritionist and allergy specialist. They diagnosed me with cronic yeast and mold allergys, and put me on a low carb diet.
It turned out that my house was full of mold, under the carpets it was groing black and grey with mildew. I had noticed a strange oder and my BF at the time had tried burning incence to cover it. no matter how we cleaned it, the steam cleaning made it worse, and anytime i was in the kitchen where there was tile my stress level would decrese. (We never put two and two together.) I was recommended a book written by Dr. William Crook, (hehe, that is really his name.) The book is called The Yeast Connection.
At that time in my life it was so bad we are talking panic attacks maybe once or twice a week. eventually I learned to notice how my body reacts when one is comming on. The food i eat is part of it, but i no longer go numb or have to go to the emergency room.
I just say this since maybe it will give you hope that there is life even with the disorder. My mother is now free of the meds and is seeing an MD that specializes in alternative therapies as well, and she finds that excersise and eating low sugar has really helped. I wish you the best. I will end by saying that i am not intimating that you SHOULD or SHOULD NOT go off your meds, especially if they are helping you. I just wanted to say that a second opinion may be warrented if your doctor is not trying to offer you any other solutions. I personally am under a doctors care for PCOS, but seek alternative solutions when ever i can, and am no longer on any medication.
As for my program, I am doing well. It is nearly the end of 4 weeks eating right and excersizing regularly. Sounds like we are all doing well......

This very same thing happened to my mom. You all may not know that she is both physically and mentally ill and I take care of her in my home. She began taking Xanax for anxiety and started not to want it, it made her groggy and so on. So, she didn't take it. Then she didn't take it some more. After 3 or so days, she had a seizure from the drug withdrawals and fell onto our coffee table. Broken nose and concussion. The doctor told her the same thing. A diabetic is not addicted to insulin, you are not addicted to Xanax. You need it to live a healthy life. It hurts you to be without it.
Pooky, be kind to yourself. Our bodies have all betrayed us in one way or another and it is an AWFUL feeling. I have to be in control of everything and knowing I can't make my hormones behave is awful for me. Knowing your panic attacks are worse than anything I'm feeling, I can't say I've been where you are. But I had to go on anti-anxiety drugs also. I think it is hereditary and I'm terrified my child will have it too. I got really angry at my mom for "giving" it to me! The doctor put me on Buspar which is a seritonin regulator also, and it has virtually no side effects in me. I don't know if it's recommended for your condition, but it could be worth it to check into another drug since Paxil makes you feel bad.
Prayers and love to you, Pooky!

Oh my God, you guys are so awesome!!!!!!! I am so overwhelmed and touched that you all support me and really care! Kel, you are so right about it being a stage of acceptance, I guess deep down inside I knew it was going to end up this way but there was still that part of me that thought I could will it away. Now I know I never can and it's so hard for me to accept. I am trying to keep a positive outlook and maybe someday they do find a cure for it. And Peach? I need a Kleenex right now, so if you have a box or a hundred on hand, could you pass them over? You are so wonderful, you know that?? So... I'm a quirky flower, no problem! :lol: Meow, I wish I had the option of not taking meds, but I have tried everything to get off of them--behaviour therapy, counselling, even holistic meds and herbal remedies. My panic disorder is very bad--unchecked, I can have attacks that last from hours to days. With the meds, I can lead a normal life (OK, somewhat normal :) ) Good, I know that it is hereditary, my cousin has a case of it too but not as bad as me. There are other family members that are prone to depression too so I know it runs in my family. My prayers to you, your daughter and your mom. :) Annie and Scooby, I love you guys too--thanks for your good wishes :)
I have to say that now that I have explained it better and sent out the website for people to read on to my family and friends I have got a lot of positive feedback. My mom and my grandma cried with me and they want me to go see them next weekend. I might, if my kitchen is done first! :lol: Good night everyone, sweet dreams...:)

My husband read your post with me just now and said "Isn't that the same as being diabetic and insulin dependant?" No difference, Sweetie.
So... pick up your butt and carry on. You know we are here! We have all been through **** and are better chicks for it!

Happy Sunday to all!!!
Pooky(Angela), I am glad you are feeling a little brighter! And to all of the rest of you wonderful chicks, you are terrific and there is a special place in heaven for those that truly care about others and are not afraid to show it! All of you fall in that category!!!
Well it is off to Fl today! Yea! :) OF course I am driving by myself 11 hours with a 4 1/2 and 2 1/2 yr old. Have I lost my mind?;)
We are actually only going 6 hours today to SC and then the rest of the way tommorrow. I am going to church and DS is going to Sunday school and then we are on the road. DH will ?hopefullly? get lots of work done on the house while we are gone, when he is not working. :lol:
I will check in from my fathers computer so I can keep up while I am gone. Have a great day!!!!:D

Ruthie, you're outing me, are you? :lol: OK, so now everyone knows my name...LOL
Scooby, have a fantastic time in Florida, oh what I'd give to swim in warm water and lie on hot sand! I've got a cold snowbank, does that count?:lol:
Good, if you need a crane, I think I need a floating barge!
I've had another night to sleep on it and get some perspective on the whole thing. I know that this is now a life issue and there is no way I can change it. I think in time I will get to acceptance because I have really been denying the seriousness of my problem till now. I'm not going to give up on my life, I have done that for 2 years worrying and waiting until I can get better. But there is a certain relief in knowing that this is permanent and if I'm waiting for something to happen, I'll be waiting too long. I guess you could say that I have to get on with things already and try to carry on as if I didn't have the problem. Of course I know there will be limitations to what I feel up to doing, but you're right Peach, I guess I have to read the travel guides to that new country I'm going to. Thanks for being there with me in spirit and on my computer! :)

Drive safely. Rachel, and enjoy your "special" time with the kiddies and the grandparents. It will be nice to have you check in.
We (Hershey and I) are off to Church shortly. And then I must do some accounting and personal tax stuff. Dinner is going to be a sort of Shepherds Pie - straight out of the freezer! All I need to do is make some cole slaw. I love having dinner ready at 8 a.m.
Had an awful hour yesterday when I thought I had lost Hershey! I got home from my meeting about 10:30 yesterday and, as I gathered my stuff, told Hersh to get out. She was sitting in the front seat for a change. Got to the house and realized no dog! She never runs away so I hollered and did the dog whistle thing. Finally, nearly in tears, I telephoned John and Rob to ask if they would help me search. They went by car and foot through the village and asked folks if they had seen her. After half an hour in the woods and meadow, I came back from my searching to get my warmer mitts from the car. Ahem! Guess who was sitting in the back seat waiting patiently for me to open the back door. Hershey always goes out the back door of the car. We drove to find the rest of the rescue team who killed themselves laughing over the silly situation. I guess I owe them bigtime. John claims he is going to put an announcement about it in the weekly newspaper.
Hey, Pooky, hope you are feeling perkier this morning. You know, I think I'd say screw the kitchen and go see my Mum and Grandma next weekend. It would probably be better for your soul than a perfect kitchen.
Cold again out there this a.m. I went back out to do Brownie Patrol (cleaning up the dog poop) and it seemed to be colder than it was at 6! By they way, I am meticulous about doggie clean-up even in winter. It sure makes for a more pleasant spring when the snow disappears!
Have a Super Sunday!

Still kinda sitting here in shock (shock, I tell ya!) that Ruth used the 'S' word! LOL - j/k!
Angela - So nice to know your RL (real life) name. I was just thinking yesterday how much of yourself you have shared but most of us didn't know your name. Glad to hear that you are feeling better about things. You have such a good outlook about things and I am sure you will put this in perspective also.
Scooby2 (Rachel) - Have a fun time in the sun and sand! I love to beach walk! Great way to exercise that doesn't even seem like exercise. I don't envy you that drive but that is a good plan to break it up into 2 days like that. Have a good break - you deserve it!
Oh Ruthie - That is so scary about Hershey! (but kinda funny too - in the end!) I remember a time when our youngest Cody (who is 11 now) was a little guy and we thought he was kidnapped or lost. The family was helping bring in bags from the car after food shopping and we had the back door open with the garage door up. After everything was in the house, I noticed that Cody was missing (he was probably 18 months - 2 yrs). We franticly looked everywhere: closets, backyard, street. We even had the neighbors looking for him. It was very scary. Then after about 20 minutes, Brad found him hiding in the neighbor's bushes. Cody wasn't potty trained yet and he liked his privacy when he was doing 'his bi'ness' in his diapers. He had never run off to do that before! I don't know why he picked THAT day to do it! I was just sure some bad guy saw all the comotion of us going back and forth with bags and snatched the little guy!
Everyone have a good Sunday - sunny but cold (for us in Cali!) here today. Laundry (the neverending, thankless task) is the word of the day here. The kids will be home from school tomorrow but I have to go to a client's to work. Maybe I will ask them to vacuum, dust, clean toilets when I'm gone? Yeah right! lol

The kids will be home from school tomorrow but I have to go to a client's to work. Maybe I will ask them to vacuum, dust, clean toilets when I'm gone? Yeah right! lol

Hello from South Carolina Rachel, look me up when you get here, and we'll do lunch (low-carb, of course!):lol:
Ruth, how will you ever live that down?:D Doggies and kids can be so devilish sometimes. She was probably wondering what all the fuss was about!
Kel, my daughter used to hide to do her bidness too, once I found her behind the couch. At least she hadn't figured out how to take off her diapers yet!:p
Pooky, I think you're the best! I'm glad you're able to find some perspective on this whole mess. God bless you :angel:
Hope you all have a wonderful last day of the weekend!
