Hi,
> >
> -- That's right. I know that action = motivation = more action, but when your mind is constantly telling you NO ACTION, it is hard to get over that hump. So, anything that gives us that kick-start and a boost would be most welcome. I am definitely going to check it out.The only thing that has me a bit worried is one of Larry's posts about its classification. OTOH, this doctor Braverman uses it with his patients and there have been numerous studies done on it. I haven't read of any problematic side effects in any of the studies.
> -- I don't know what happened. I have felt lousy since late yesterday (I was hoping that yesterday was just a blip), and I have been crying on and off all day. It just doesn't make sense. I am beginning to think it is hormonal. I sent a long e-mail to my pdoc today to tell him how I have been doing. I have to go back work in 2 weeks, and if I have any more days like today and yesterday, I just don't know if I can do it. I want so much to get back into the swing of things and not let anyone down.Hormones can wreak a lot of havoc on our systems. That could very well be the cause if there's no other external reason for your mood change. It's worth looking into. Try not to worry so much about letting others down. You have medical problems. You can't help it. You need to do whatever is going to get you well - not whatever is going to make other people happy. I struggle with that same issue. It's not an easy situation.
> -- I am sure there are legal precedence for situations like that where there was a perhaps a contract in principle (implied contract perhaps). I guess the question would be whether a person would want to invest money, time and energy into pursuing legal action. I would imagine most don't because, like your friend, they manage to find something else. Oh well. At least not all brokers lack integrity.
My friend is a very positive thinker. She says it just wasn't meant to be and that there may be some good reason why she didn't get the house. At least my friend's broker is a really nice guy - definitely a lot of integrity. I try hard to note the good people in the world otherwise I get too depressed over all of the sleazoids out there.
> -- That is great news! New digs on the horizon. My fingers are crossed that all goes smoothly, with as little stress as possible.
So far so good but we've been down this path twice before and it didn't work out either of those times. I have a feeling that the third time is the charm though.
> -- I am the same way with my dog. I can't imagine how much I would worry about a child. There have been days that just knowing I have to take care of my dog have kept me going (in spite of the love of family and friends). I worry about who would take care of her if I wasn't here.Yeah, same here. I worry that if I weren't able to take care of them, then they'd be up for adoption - stuck in cages for days on end. They could end up with people who don't take good care of them or even abuse them. I can't stand to think about it. I just have to manage to take care of them.
> -- Thanks. I agree, it is the worst. I can't imagine how some women put up with months of morning sickness. Must be awful. I can usually handle a bit of nausea, but I have had so much extreme nausea for the past year that my resistence is wearing down. I think I may pick up some ginger just to keep on hand. I have found it excellent for nausea. Even my mom (who always poo poos alternative treatments has tried it and had really good results from it).
When I first was diagnosed with CFS I had flu like systoms that came and went. It was like a stomach flu and it would run its course like a regular virus. I'd feel better for a while and then it would start again. The nausea was worse than the fatigue or other symptoms. I thought I was going to have to live my whole life with that nausea. Fortunately as the years passed, the attacks came less frequently. Then it got to the point where I only get them if I'm really run down. This last episode of extreme anxiety where I wasn't sleeping or eating, I thought for sure I'd get a CFS attack but it didn't happen. I guess if there's a silver lining here...
Are you feeling any better today? Less nausea, less sad? I read your post below about stopping smoking. Are you sure you want to do that now? It's going to add a lot more stress at an already stressful time. Is there any way you could get the nicotine patches to help you with this?
