As light headed as I have been, you would think I haven’t been eating anything but diet pills for the last few days. This morning I woke up with echoes of pain on both sides of my lower ribs, nausea, and the echo of a migraine. Holy crap! What’s wrong with me? I looked up a few things online, hoping I could find something close to what it is that is going on with me. My legs are weak, my knees keep giving out *which is a problem I deal with anyway, but not like this*. My legs keep going to sleep when I am sitting at the computer *and not even for that long*. I took some ibuprofen, drank a cup of green tea with honey, and prayed. I am feeling a lot better now but I am still weak. I still feel like I may pass out. I want to go to the doctor, but right now it’s kind of out of the question. I mean, you have X amount of dollars till next Thursday for EVERYTHING that you need in your home…you can’t just up and snatch 50 out of it to go to the doctor and get meds. If it is something they can’t diagnose there, they send you to the hospital, then that’s more money that I don’t have. Rock and a hard place, much? Universal health care is sounding mighty good right about now…

For the last few days I have been getting this pain like someone tried to break me over a chair in my back. Tonight, it’s’ so unbearable. I cannot get comfortable. Ibuprofen isn’t helping. Heat isn’t helping. I’m like freaking out from the pain, but I can’t escape it. It hurts so much! I laid on the floor, in the chair, walked, sat up straight, stretched, did yoga, sat slouched, put on heat, took pills… and I am still here feeling like I am being broken in half. I wish I had something stronger to deal with this pain. My eyes are blurry from the hurt. It’s all on my right side under my ribs. No amount of massage is helping it. I wish I could shed my body till it stops.

I just did my measurements the other day because I was curious as to how my body has been progressing. I know I lost weight and inches because I am back into my 8s.
Here is the low-down:
35.75/35/36 on feb 13 2008
35/31/39 on 8.8.08
How, I ask, do I possibly lose 4 inches on my waist and regain it minus one on my butt? How annoying! It’s like it moved down and decided to stay. I am at a loss. My weight itself is ridiculously off. Either I am 140 or 155. This has got me looking at things like Orovo to get this all under control. What do you think? Or am I just being overcritical. I look pretty good, I think. There is a noticeable change in my appearance. I am probably just being too critical…

I keep getting papers in the mail about my husband’s benefits from his job. Sometimes I wonder why they bother to send anything at all. The only papers I really look for are the ones that say we have to recheck our policy before the next enrollment. I am pretty sure that our enrollment isn’t coming up for another few months, but they send these papers about life insurance rates, changes in the fine print, papers that look like bills but say “this is not a bill” all the time. I think we will probably keep everything the same this year as we did last year, since it worked out okay for us so far.

At least I try not to do that… I am a big fan of generics. Right now I am on some generic allergy pills that work great, as long as I only take one. If I take 2, I end up in a near coma from overdose. That is the only problem I have with generics…some of them give you generic instructions like *take one OR two every 4 to 6 hours*. Eh, what can I say? They were about a dollar or more cheaper than the name brand with the actual instructions on the back. I wish they had a generic drug that was just like the real one for everything from generic Phentermine to blood pressure pills. My husband takes bp pills that cost 40 dollars each under our insurance. There is NO generic readily available for them, so we pay the full cost of the copay. Thankfully, they are covered or we would be paying about $120 per prescribed bottle. Freaky, right? So I say THANK YOU GOD for generics. They rock.

Going back to natural and trying to go green has me thinking on a lot of things that could be swapped for more nature friendly products. I am working on plastic bag recycling, which I will share with you all soon. There has been an resurgence of all natural products like natural acne treatments, natural hair cair products, and organic foods. I am trying to do my part to keep my little square of the world as environmentally friendly as I can. I try to use vinegar and baking soda to clean moreso than other products on the market with harsh chemicals. Nature gives us so many great gifts to use in our homes. What have you gone green with in recent months?

Welcome to Hell. Here is your
passport to go anywhere in the realm of Hades while you suffer interminable pain.
Not really. I am still treading lightly today after my migraine. I can feel it in the recesses of my brain, lurking in the shadows. I was in and out of consciousness for about 4 hours last night. Thank God my husband was home to take care of the Kid while I rested.
I think I will stay out of the light as much as possible today. I am also going to try and keep the noise to a minimum, which is kind of hard since my son is talking SO LOUD that my eyeballs are trying to meet in the middle at times. I love that kid, but boy does he have some lungs.

I don’t know why I was surprised when I saw the term legal steroids. I mean, it had to happen sooner or later. Too many people were going down for doing steroids in sports. Something had to be done. I knew that athletes wouldn’t stand for not being able to use something many see as vital to their success. If they could convince the leagues that smoking marijuana helped them focus, it would be legalized in a heartbeat.
