ugh! But doing ok


You guys are really helping me. I am not in so much pain now. Maybe because I am so weak my body does not have enough energy to be anxious!

Went to doc. I take Darvocet for pain. Well as you may know it is no longer availabe. I am that one person out of ten who breaks down meds very different. doc almost killed me with a dieretic!

So anyway we figured out a hopeful solution. I cannot take nsaids. So I researched and came up with a drug that is strong but will cut it in half and I can use as needed. he agreed.

Anyway I have lost 22 more pounds! It is since I kicked effexor! Its so so great to eat healthy and very little and feel good. 30 more pound and I will be at my goal. Been at this for such a long time. Going into my second year.

All very slow, but sure.

No news about house. Am doing my best to believe it will be ok. And have done tons of research. Learned about all the fraud. People are putting their feet down and will not move out. Plus there are thousands of lawsuites over bank and mortgage co fraud!!!! Jerry suggested me to join a support group. OMgosh I am soooo shocked at what is going on.

So some knowledge again has helped me.

So now I need to learn what is making my parrot Reeba chase my dogs, bite them and laughs her fool head off!!! love,debilyn

I love your positivity!

Good job on the weight loss. I have heard that about effexor. Battling the weight gain is so hard. Sometimes we have to do our own research. It's awesome how you found a pain reliever on your own. We have to advocate a lot for ourselves when it comes to meds. Nobody can know how you feel even if you tell them. Ain't that the truth?

Anyhow, I wish you well on the house situation. Looming problems can seem so huge, especially when they are your own, but you are certainly hanging in there.

Glad you are feeling better. Keep up the good work!

My Lucky beagle goes psycho when I give her a bone to chew.  She runs in and out of the yard all night long checking that no one got her bone.  She has to go out at least once an hour to check the racoons did not get it.  

At one time that dog was the bain of my life, peeing on the floor as soon as she came in from the yard.  She could get out through holes in the fence that were absolutely invisible.  One night when I was laying in bed next to the ex A, she actually nipped me because I tried to move her leg.  She adored the ex A, worshipped him, ran helter skelter to meet him when he was one mile away.  She barely acknowledged me because I was the one person who she could be "real" with.  The ex A could only tolerate her undying love and attention, he didn't want any of the rest of it.

I spent many a night out with torch in hand  searching for her when she ran off, convinced she was dead run over by some car.  She would be gone for hours on end and I'd search and search and ask everyone I met if they had caught a glimpse of her.  I was an absolutely sleep deprived wreck.    The ex A always shrugged and ignored her running off he never had a moment of anxiety about it.  One night after the ex A and I had a huge row she ran off and came back covered in skunk.  Back then it seemed like one huge problem after another.  Naturally the ex A put it all on me.   I only felt the burden and I resented the hell out of that little dog.  She was one more problem on an endless list of them and I felt like it would never end.

All I can see now with this little psycho dog is how incredibly lucky it is that I got the chance to have her come into my life whatever the circumstances and whatever the hardship. 

What a beautiful program we have.

Maresie.
