Thanks. the Anxiety attacks were worse this morning and I almost didn't make it out of the house. As it is, I can still feel like my chest wants to palpitate, but can't. Breath was really hard to come by this morning and it took me 2 minutes just to get to the kitchen because I has to stop so much. I am scared, humiliated, feeling incredibly stupid and very frustrated.
I had some biopsies done on Tuesday. I now have stitches for the first time in my life and I am still having the breathing issues. I went to my doctor today ( I babysat last minute yesterday) and have been given a scrip for Xanax. The problems I'm having are my version of a panic attack. I CAN and do breathe, taking deep breaths while the attack happens, but part of my brain is screaming that I'm not getting air, while part of me is saying "Yes you are, see/!" as I take a breath. I hope to know more soon. Stitches come out next Friday.
Today I go to the Cleveland Clinic. This morning, I am having some sever breathing problems. Breathing problems are NOT normal for me, so I am getting scared. I KNOW I am getting full breaths, but somehow part of me seems to be panicking, thus making this worse. Hives can cause this, so this is just the next progression I fear. I really fear having to stay in the hospital. I hope it is not that bad.
There is always a reason to the person who is greedy to be greedy. Just like the big oil companies who in recent years have seen record profits but poor mouth themselves about the price at the pump...or how hospitals justify charging insurance companies ridiculous prices to settle for less than half (i.e. $200 for a Tylenol), or how you HAVE to have car insurance but as soon as you make a claim, WHAM! your rate goes sky high or you get dropped because now you're a risk, yeah, to their bottom line.
I am not a Legend,and am fairly neutral on his music, but this song and video are going to make me a fan.https://music.yahoo.com/blogs/music-n...
I feel that if this is really about "Asian Markets" over seas, then make it about them. This really is sizeist.
Too many people are caught up in their own insecurities to see past the end of their noses, and project those onto others without thinking. As for her friends' comments, that is a direct product of our society and "bikini season" promotions from weight loss companies.
No,not conspiracy, fact. Research is more profitable now than a cure. Look at history. Polio. Wiped out. Small pox? Gone. If those happened now? Too much money to be had in research.
Not only does she look good in this, but what a plus to have someone like her out there!https://shine.yahoo.com/healthy-livin...
Amen. I am 348lbs. and in better health than most people I know. I just cannot believe that the FDA would approve this drug, but drags it's feet on much more needed ones....oh, wait, I can. It's called money.
O.K., I may be repeating myself here as I may have talked about this in another thread but I can't find it if I have. So, there is a new and wonderful drug approved by the FDA for weight loss. Yippee. In the commercial, the not so fine print states that it is not known if this drug is safe or effective, will prevent stroke, or later on, states that they are not sure how exactly it keeps you from over eating. So, it's o.k. if this kills me because there will be one less fat person in the world?
I feel the same way. Every time you turn around, you have to sign a piece of paper that claims to protect your "privacy" but really makes it easier for others to access it and harder for you to get your own information!I am tired of "direct" marketing to me, and I can tell usually where it comes from based on how my name is uses, i.e my full legal name,with middle initial,or if it the same misspelling I keep getting from other places. I will not listen to any sales pitches made door to door nor will I buy anything that way unless I know the person, such as the kids next door.
I do not take well to cold sales calls either. If I am interested in a service, I will call you. I am so tired of this micro-managing of my life and the "you will do this or you will punished" like I'm 5 years old. (I put up with that crap growing up. NOT anymore!) We need to be more proactive about what we share and don't want to. Say "no" the next time you are asked for your e-mail or phone # by a store clerk. Do not fill out any questions on a warranty card that do not fit the info they need. Get off of direct mailing lists, and ask why a piece of info is needed. Did you know that there is no legal reason for any doctor to use or see your social security number? Yep, you don't have to share that. Only the I.R.S., your employer, and your banking people need that to make sure all your taxes are going to where they need to go, and for your car license as well.
That's about it.
We need to stand up,as a whole, as consumers who have had enough! WE need to take back ourselves and stop Big Brothering ourselves. It may be too late for some, but not all.
I am trying to pay attention to that part. It was weird I guess because of all the school things she came to and now I was at hers....
And the thing is, we let them get away with it....
I love the reason is "it's the right thing to do". I wish more companies saw things like that.
Thanks. I will keep you all posted.
I have to say that is not discrimination per say, but it is in SUCH bad taste that it borders on discrimination, especially the end of the article where the companies "terms of use prohibitions' are listed.https://shine.yahoo.com/healthy-livin...
Well, I am in a weird place. I'm not sure if it is good,bad,or just there. It is a paradigm shift that's for sure, and not, again, a bad one, just there. Thursday, the residents of my grandma's nursing home performed a glee club program. She is in it and this is the first time they have ever had one. They did some songs, like "She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain" and other songs that most of them would have grown up with. They were accompanied by a fellow resident on the piano, who also played a few solos. Grandma and few others did humorous recitations/parody songs. It was really cute and they want to do more, so they are keeping the club.I had a hard time with 2 things, one seeing her with all of these other people in their wheelchairs (while she can walk, it is too far for her to walk to the room they had this in) and seeing her in a show not to unlike the ones I did in school. That was weird. "One of those 'Circle of Life' kinda things." (Points to know where that's from and who said it.) It is hard to see her not in her home, or see her on her own locomotion. It is nearing a year since this all started, and it is still hard.
Sorry...need to stop now. Getting teary.
