OMG That bread is wonderful!! It's well worth the price as long as YOU"RE the only one who eats it. I usually get it on the day old rack for � price but that's not too often. So I wait for a sale....
Yes, it was a print of the 60 minutes interview come to think of it! So she DID ask about the negatives?? Good for her. Tell me...regarding the doc, was he a crazed, shifty eyed little man with an...
Yesterday I was reading an artical at MSN about WLS (weight loss surgery) as the closest thing to a cure for Type 2 Diabetes and many forms of Cancer... It was scarey, it was like a cruel sales pitch...
"When in doubt, don't" That's a good motto for most anything. Your point about this age of the "knife and pill" is so true. It's frightening, but we're suppose to put those valid fears aside in view...
That's not good. The trouble is for every good story you hear you hear a bad one. Then the bearers of the bad stories say it was the worst things they'd ever done! The one's with the good stories...
I'm still waiting for those responses! HELLO...anyone out there with an open mind??? I'm really disappointed...I wanted to get some discussions going here but I guess I'll go elsewhere. Lanie, I...
It's a scarey and wonderful thought to actually have either one of these procedures done! There are so many smart folks here. I'd LOVE to see them get busy and check this out with an open unbias mind...
I'm beginning to lean more towards the LapBand. But I don't know anyone who has had it. I wish some people here would respond. I would think that this and the Gastric Bypass would be a hot topic. Go...
Hey...I'd like to know some opinions too. I know Lapband is less evasive, involves less time in the hospital etc... But it's not AS effective as the Gastric Bypass. Go to Thinnertimes.com and look at...
Thank you for your replies. It seems to me that there are many horror stories as well as success stories. That makes it hard...What was the medical conditions of these people prior to the surgeries?...
My sister and I are considering all. Yes, doing it the old fashioned way is better. But I've been trying it for 30 years, up and down. I'm running out of years. I've talked to several who have had it...
Hello all...I haven't been here in a while. I've been struggling but I'm still in one piece. How do you all feel about Gastric Bypass. I'm considering it and have heard that it helps Diabetics A...
Thank you for the good advice. A lot to take in! My head just kind of spins as I read. I'll go back and "chew on it" until it sinks in. This is just so frustrating, this goofy disease. It would be so...
Hi...Thank you for the info. It's always cool to look at these. BUT I'm going to open the old "Sugar Levels" can of worms. I'm sorry...but no one's ever explained why the National Institute For...
Wow..you are so lucky doctor wise. But I am sorry to hear about your mother. It must be hard seeing it was preventable. Gosh, that would be haunting... There's gotta be some middle ground where...
I don't want you to get the impression that I DON"T or WON"T go to the doctor. I just go kicking and screaming. Am I the ONLY Diabetic like this??????? It's a big stumbling block to get over. My last...
So take my "G" in the morning (I usually take all my pills in the morning with breakfast) and then take the "M" before bed?? I can do that! About the "just talk to your doctor" bit. Are you able to...
Hi...I'm on 850mgs of Metformin and 5mg of Glyburide a day. I also take the Diabetes packet from NatureMade, Cinnamon, Fish oil, Calcium and Evening Primrose. For breakfast I eat 2 pieces of whole...
Hello! I've been fishing thru the old posts on this subject. It just ain't fair!! I'm just getting back on the wagon, eating like a carnivorous rabbit, drinking "water" in various forms and DOING...
Oops, I got distracted by kids and forgot to finish the title...I'm glad some of you clicked on anyway. Okay, I'm going to compromise and only add 1/4 of the powder in the picher. Just so it adds a...
Hi boys and girls! I'm climbing back on the wagon and I just wanted to make sure that I'm doing it right. Regarding water intake, does sugar free drink mix count as water? Does Green and white teas...
Bless me Jeannie, for I am about to be carcastic...124 sigh. Welcome to the world the rest of us live in. Why are you beating yourself up? You're doing wonderful otherwise! It'll be back down right...
Hi!! I take both Cinnamon (caps) and vineger tablets! I have no trouble controling my B.S...unless I cheat of course, LOL!! I love cooking with V, it makes meats SO tastey, plus it's a natural...
Oh, I hope someone who knows will respond to the the above! How do you "nip it in the bud!!" I betcha parents and spouces of werewolves have the same problems!!JK...But you know what they say "An...
Uggh...I don't even want to think about that. Too sad...But it's a good topic for discussion! Maybe we can appreciate the attention shown today by learning more. It's always good to be THANKFUL FOR...
Wow...$4 at good old WalMart. I'll have to check that out! I've got insurance but it's always good to know your options....
Honest??? Thank you...I just get too frustrated these days. We had a great score. I probably shouldn't be so comfortable when I write here. I'm used to writing all the time in the privacy of my own...
It wasn't a tongue lashing towards you at all! I'm SO sorry. I just felt bad that you felt bad about a score that I thought was REALLY good. I'm sorry, so sorry. I was just venting out of frustration...
Okay, I'm going to vent...just because I can, LOL. UGGGGHHH!!! I agree with Dawn! That's a wonderful number! I got a 6.2 this time around and I was a happy camper! Then I read your post 4Sons and I'm...
Never say never!! M.Mike S., I sure do hope you respond to this!!!...
I think what sirWilliam is getting at is not the refusal aka "resistance", he's just open to the idea that maybe there's another option. Long term effects scare me too as does the dependancy. And...
That's an interesting thought. The definition of normal becomes a whole different thing in this Bipolar whirlwind! I would think that "normal" would seem like a mild depression if we were compairing...
Keep smilin', sometimes that's the answer in a nutshell. I've found that as a "cheerleader" for a Bipolar staying POSITIVE and pointing out the positive is half the battle!! "HOPE" is SUCH an...
A thought just occured to me...are you approaching Peri-menopausal age?? I wonder what happens to Bipolar women when they start going thru the change???? I'm going thru it right now (I think) and I...
On behalf of us all of us here at the Healing well...What a JERK he is!! You have my permission to be angry as well as sad! I don't blame you one bit for considering to find a new doctor! GEZ...my...
Thank you! It's always nice when people reply. I talked to my son's doctor's receptionist hoping I could avoid an appointment (1 1/2 to 2 hour wait in a crowded waiting room full of mentally ill...
3 weeks+ now and no change. Homebound, no school, no church I can bearly get him to his Psychologist's office....
OMG!!! THAT is AMAZING! You MUST have had someone special on their knees on your behalf praying! We all need to hear things like this. THANK YOU FOR RENEWING OUR FAITH THAT MIRACLES DO ACTALLY...
I just thought I'd check in here...I'm waiting and waiting for Wellbutrin to kick in. My son (17) has been on it for 2 weeks for severe depression. He's on 150mg (XL). Is that a lot or the normal...
OMG YES it's wonderful to have people to talk to and not have the obligatons of face-to-face conversations (I'm shy in the real world) My oldest son 25, has Crohn's disease. He got it in Kuwait in...
And sometimes ..."hiding" is a very necessary thing. Sometimes you just gotta "get the job done" and go on with life in this very real world we all live in. I hate how life forces people to have to...
That's an interesting insight, LOL. (the altitude thing) As an older sister with a younger sister. I agree with you, ya can't teach us a thing, LOL!! We've got our position to uphold! But, after...
I'm wondering how this person is doing now...a few years later. Her kids are grown now, so...My mom used to say these exact same things which brings back "odd" memories. Is it possible to give out...
Ruth, I really like hearing from you!! It's really hard juggling more than one crisis at a time and deciding what needs to have top billing. It's Crazy!! If we were to sit down and tally up all our...
Mind boggling!! Let's just eat a twinkie and die happy. Just kidding...what a pain in the butt (and finger) this Diabetes thing is! Seriously, I'm okay just griping a little. I've got a severly...
GOOD QUESTION!! My doctor said anything 140 and below is fine. My ex's doctor told him anything under 200 is fine. The ADA levels on the inside of my meter manuel say pre-meal 80-120, post-meal <180...
Thank you for the encouragement. This disorder is so frustrating to deal with! But we're (I'm) trying to BE POSITIVE and not let it take over the future as it has definetly taken over the present to...
(I love your name) One thing you have to remember is that much of how we learn to parent is by watching our own parents. It's not an "excuse", but it's a possible "reason" for our parenting problems....
That's another question I have. Beyond the obvious genetic reasons, are there "things" that push a person over the edge and cause Bipolar to develop?? I guess that's opening a big can of worms. My...
Maybe add some of what was mentioned above??? Are those other less common things readily available? Any specifics for the depression? Specifics for the Manic?? How about "Jeremiah Peabody's little...
