Hi lol,

Your's worked beautiful cj!!! lol good job! A for the day for both of ya!
I even see your smiley faces at the bottom of ur msg.

You wouldn't believe the pills I take, arrrggghhhh What are you wanting to take omega fish oil and cq10 for? if i may ask For a vitamin I take prenatal vitamins lol the pharmacist told me that was the best one to take for what I wanted. It has the D 400 u in it as I read in an article you shold take it...helps with BC; for my cholesterol I use "Red Yeast Rice" which is awweome and it has the CQ10 in it but you have to make sure u get the right bottle, one doesn't have the CQ10 in it. Crestor for prophalaxix for my kidneys cuz of my diabetes, lexapro for my depression-coping; arimidex ;
3 senekot for you know what (hahahaha) Then for my diabetes I take 2 pills and one shot twice a day. And guess what my shot is made from? you will never guess lolol ---------------------------------------> gila monster ---------->spit! lololol. Honest! (is that TMI? lol)

I don't care for tea actually. My gf in calif sent me some tea that is suppose to be good for CA but it tastes like do-do Do you shop at a Hi Health type store for your extas? Thats where I go.

Ok I won't write a long one this time, I've gotten carried away here. I'll do better .

Linda,

I always shop at health food stores and always have. (Hippie generation although not a hippie) I try to always buy organic or locally grown food although the town I'm in there is not a good selection. We have a few stores that are starting to include a larger assortment of Organic foods. I take a vitamin that has CQ10 and omega fish oil in it. I like fish too. I avoid some meats but if I am out and that particular food is offered, I eat it.

I really eat healthy and don't have any bad habits other than inactivity. I have got to get into PT so I can start moving again. The inactivity has just been the last six months; prior to that I was in a job that was too stressful physically. I would drag my butt to work but come home and just die!! I have not had the right kind of exercise in along time. This is going to change.

I feel like I need an antidepressant as well. I asked my new dr and after she reviews my records -she will respond. I feel some better since the seasons have change. I am on Toprol XL, Dyazide, and Arimidex. I use naprosyn sometimes, I'm in pain most all the time, but I don't like to take anti-inflam because I feel they counter act my dyazide.

I am glad to know Gil Monster's are good for something other than looking big and tuff!!! I've never heard of that; pork beef ect but never gila monster.

Got to go. Take care!!!
Teresa

Hey ladies..Linda, no dont drink poo-poo tea..lol, but honestly look into green tea, I have read its a great antioxidant. Tell me more about the red yeast rice, just had my cholesterol taken and its too high for my liking..I want to add omega fish oil..just because its said that it is very healthy especially if you dont eat enough fish..I do eat fish alot but I still think it would help. COQ10 is good for the heart..and I just found out that I have leaky valves..never had it before but wonder if it could be a side effect from chemo.
Yea for the Gila monster spit!! Its amazing the things they can do today!
T-I eat organic too! I do not eat red meat at all, and chicken only occasionally. We eat fruit, vegies, nuts, beans and grains..my son says that is why he will never ever invite a friend over for dinner!!!lol my sister inlaw buys into a farm share during the summer and get beautiful fruits and vegies..I dont do it because it is way too much food for us and would have to throw too much of it out. Can you tell me the name of the vitamin that has both in it..I would be very interested in that.
My bad habit is coffee..I drink decaf only, with no sweetener, but I really dont think 3 cups a day is really too good for you..but I cant help it!! and I dont do or eat anything else bad so I give myself that one.
Even with my pain..I exercise everyday..I have to for my body and mind! I take elavil for fibro but its also an anti-depressant, and it so makes me feel better. I really think that PT will help you..because you sound like youre experiencing some of the same pains I am..and it is helping. I really hope you can get to one! We just have to keep in touch so you can tell me when you go..and then one day youll say you feel better..that would be so good!!
I have also been on the anti-inflammatories..my mom gave me a paper a while back on the possible side effects..and it scared the heck out of me..thats when I decided I needed to do something to take care of the problem without meds..and Pt. sounded like something I wanted to try..I am behind you 100% when you say that you are gonna change and get active again Yahoo!! If you need a little encouragement, I am here for ya!
hugs,
cj.

Ok I was mistaken about the Omega threes...it is a vit by dr. edward a taub.

My appt is May 4 and the new dr will have all the info from my other dr. I will have my chlorest. checked and glucose. I am hoping for good news , but really excited to get results what ever they may be. I am sure from there they will have to refer me to another dr. who will refer me to PT. So it may be a while before that gets started. But the ball is rolling already in the right direction. TN has insurance coverage for women with BCA. I had insurance when I was working and I have worked all my life. I feel very lucky to live in a state that lends such a helping hand.

Yes I drink a lot of green tea. I put it on ice with a little Rose's Lime; it almost seems like a cocktail. It is very refreshing, but I do admit, it doesn't suit everyones taste.

Bye for now.
Teresa
