I hope so Brian - I mean I hope you find some answers....it sucks to feel like crap and not know exactly why...

I really hope this leads to some answers for you

Good luck

Good luck, Brian. Hopefully, you'll be feeling better soon.

Yes, good luck Brian, I hope that you find some answers too and get on the road to healthy.

I hope that you make out OK with all of your tests Brian.

Today I wore another pair of skinny jeans, I think I may get to go and buy some new stuff a size smaller, wahoo. Also, some good news for all, I read in O that this study showed participants lost about 15 lbs by just changing up their routine all the time. I don't mean exercise, or diet, I just mean their life's routine, just do different things and you'll lose weight. It sounds weird but maybe if you're more engaged you're less likely to over eat?

I don't know, but I thought it was interesting!

Congrats, Suze, that is awesome!!! I am, of course, appropriately jealous.

Keep up the good work.

finally have everything in place to have a visit with a neurologist, And to have a MRI performed to find out what the deal that is going on in my head (Imagine having severe migraines everyday...That has been me for the past 2 weeks, And they are getting worse

).

The Dr. I saw today just told me to "stay positive...That will help you until we can figure out what is causing the headaches and determine what the calcification actually is..."

Brian "Did I mention I STILL have a headache? It sucks ass, man" j.

Sorry, Brian. I can't imagine anything worse than having a migraine every day. Well, I suppose there is worse, but i would really hate that. So, um, couldn't the doctor give you anything for the pain of your migraines???
Good luck, dear, I feel relieved that someone might actually find out what's wrong...

I am taking the following meds for my headaches:

10mg Butalbital
100mg Propoxyphene (Dorvecet)
5mg Rizatriptan

The Dorvecet literally wiped me out Saturday, I slept off and on for 18 hours!!! I wasnt able to travel to lay flowers at my parents graves due to how ill I am feeling...My older brother Geary & older sister Lesa told me not to worry about it (Geary said "Mom & Dad arent goin' anywhere..." to which I replied dryly "I hope not, Or I may need to see a psych for my head next" ) and my relatives on my Father's side of the family told me to take care of myself and not to worry (Though I do worry).

What sucks is that the headaches have started to f**k with my vision, So I have an appt to see the Optometrist on June 9th...Man, I hope everything can be solved before July 17th, I so need to go on my yearly visit to Dallas to see a Fleetwood Mac related concert and hang with my fellow Ledgies.

When is your MRI? When I had one for my back and they found a big bulging disc it was oddly comforting to finally have proof of where the pain was coming from and that it wasn't all in my head! I hope they find the cause and a quick cure.

Yesterday I went shopping and had a slightly traumatic but funny experience. I pulled a size 10 pair of capris off of the rack and when I went to pull them on I could not get them past my knees. I thought the size had to be wrong or something. I just got down to this size so I was also scared maybe I wasn't as thin as I thought. Then I tried another color I had in the fitting room and it fit. Phew. The black ones were marked wrong! How could they do that to me!

OMG - I HATE that

But good for you still fitting into the 10s ...that was me a year ago

No longer sadly - I still sort of fit into some 10s but not comfortably

It's totally my fault though - and I'm not stressing about it any longer lol - I haven't been to the gym all week - and I'm fine with that - I'll be going this weekend....but the amazing thing is that right now? I'm happy and content with where I am

Yes, that's good Suze!

Close call!

I, apparently, am getting fatter. Well, by apparently, I mean, that's what the scale says.

It's weird, cause I've been riding my bike a lot.

But, I have no full length mirror now, so...I'm only midly stressed about it.

Awesome. The irony too is you can't lose weight until you can accept yourself as you are. Self acceptance rules, still working on it.

Really? I've always lost weight best when I've said "I simply cannot accept this, I deserve to look way more fabulous than this!"

I see your point, though. That way may be better....
