Hiya me lady friends!!

The sun is out, the air is crisp, the birds are singing, the air smells sweet and my brain is NORMAL!! Life is sweet!

Ok so, this is NOT a game for me any more! now it is taking care of me so I won't EVER fall victim to a stroke! Now I am like a mama giving birth, there is no choice but to push, there's no turning back! Reality is here! This saying has more meaning that it ever has had for me....

IF IT IS TO BE .... ITS UP TO ME!!!

Ok, so she talked about me going on some meds, Beta Blockers, are supposed to work really good for migraines, but the thing is I don't get really bad headaches its mostly the vision 'aura' and then a slight headache and nausea and then I feel really tired after, so the meds could prevent them from happening more often BUT the downside is, I would have to monitor my blood pressure and my pulse as it makes them go low, Hmmmmmmm I have a good heart I'm not liking messing with something that is working really good ... then there is a med she wants me to take after the aura that is for migraine, which one of the side effects is stroke ... now to be honest I haven't looked up these meds yet, I've been waaaay too busy since I got home from my appointment, so I do need to see more detail about them, personally I don't like the way it sounds, I'm thinking about making an appointment with that one doctor I was seeing for my hair loss before and get her opinion, she is a specialist in hormones she is an endocrinologist and I really trust her opinion, but I ask this .... What would you do?

Carol Ann, I am so confused about what they would have to threaten you about ??? I'm glad you slept well and I hope you got the police in on it as the threat sounds pretty disturbing. NEVER underestimate anyone that has made a threat!! I hope everything works out! sorry you have to have that extra stress in your life with everything else that is going on!

Steffi, that is great that you and Torben are good savers Pat and I NEVER were, we NEVER really budget right, we are just fed up on making it week to week and we are both ready to be better and more educated with our finances, I really like Dave Ramsey's ways, to be honest, his ways seem much better to me than Suze Orman's, I bought her book and never really get it when I listen to her, but with Dave Ramsey I'm really getting it! Pat and I are taking a LONG nice walk tonight then we are doing weights together, I'm excited!!

Kimmie, I'm with you on sucking on the challenge, mine just came from my mind being so pre-occupied! But it stops today, we have a bright future ahead of us and no matter what, you and I both have to learn to fit ourselves in, its not just about us any more, you wanting that baby and me wanting to live stroke free for my family! We really have to get this concept and JUST fit ourselves in!!! Ya know I LOVE ya girl and I just want the BEST for you!!

I just want to THANK all of YOU for letting me vent here so freely and putting up with me carrying on about my fear for the last 3 months, without all of you I'd be so stressed out, it has been a blessing to me that I have all of you on my side! Thank you all for being who you are, you really mean so much to me!!!

Have a WONDERFUL day!!!
