Title: ok I'm not d..... Well not s good subject... Post by Tiannia on Jun 20th, 2006, 11:20am I dont have anything to say other then vent so I have not been posting. I dont want to be here only to seem to be negative. Shaun, my husband, is still out of work, 5 months and counting. I am working 60 hours a week to make ends meet. My head, well it is better I guess. I dont get hit daily. They put me on Evavil and bumped it to 25mg daily. I still get hit about 3-4 times a month, but when it hits I cant get rid of it. So I have to ride it out. That really wears me out. I guess the scariest thing is that I have lost 30 lbs since January, and felt really good about it. But my doctor just did blood work and I found out that my Cholesterol is 453. 3 times what it is supposed to be. As my arteries already show signs of me having had a mild stroke 3 years ago, it really worries me that I might end up not being here to watch my kids grow up. Doc has me on meds and we do blood work again in a month. My doc has me on Lexapro for depression as well. I am just trying to get from day to day. My 10 year anniversary is tomorrow. We are going to the PINK concert as a splurge. I am hoping that it all just works out. Love and Light, well wishes... Tia |

Title: Re: ok I'm not d..... Well not s good subjec Post by pattik on Jun 20th, 2006, 11:38am We all need to vent once and a while. And congrats on the weight loss. Losing weight will help your cholestoral levels, but it can take time to show up on the tests. So hang in there keep on doing what you are doing. It sounds like you are moving in a healthy direction. It's good to see you back here. Hugs, Patti |

Title: Re: ok I'm not d..... Well not s good subject... Post by tanner on Jun 20th, 2006, 11:56am Tiannia, I'm sorry to hear that you are hurting both pain and economically. Both suck and both can bring you down...way down! I know exactly where you are coming from. I hope that the Lexapro is helping! As hard as it gets in the end its up to you to bring yourself up by reminding yourself that YOU are important to a lot of people and a lot of people care. I hope that you have a great time at the concert and the beast leaves you alone! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY......Tim |

Title: Re: ok I'm not d..... Well not s good subjec Post by FramCire on Jun 20th, 2006, 12:08pm If you are losing weight and your cholesterol is not going down than it is probably a genetic thing and they do have medicine for it. While it MAY take time to show, there are some people whose cholesterol just is high and the meds will hopefully work well for you. Lexapro seems to work well with the people I know who are on it. I don't know where you live or what kind of work your husband does but the job market is suppossed to be better now and getting better. Keep on pushing forward and things will turn around soon. Finally, don't avoid posting here because you are ranting or negative. Everyone needs support and this place is excellent for giving it and receiving it. We all need the help and some of us like to be able to give the help too. I bet things will be looking up in the immediate future. Here's to PF MONTHS ahead for you! |

Title: Re: ok I'm not d..... Well not s good subjec Post by brewcrew on Jun 20th, 2006, 12:13pm Stay on that cholesterol medication, whatever it is. 453 indicates that you are missing a genetic receptor which prevents your liver from producing too much of it. Several docs have told me that you can vary your serum cholesterol via diet and exercise by only 15-20%. In your case it means 90 points max. Still unhealthy. That's why you will probably need to be on the meds for the rest of your life. In my case, my cholesterol was 396 unmedicated. I've been on Zocor for 10 years now. Last blood test it was 176. Hang in there - lots of good thoughts for you. |

Title: Re: ok I'm not d..... Well not s good subject... Post by Mattrf on Jun 20th, 2006, 6:45pm I agree with everyone else here, this is a great place to vent, god knows I have done more then my share. Venting and supporting those that are venting is what this place is about and we all know we need to vent sometimes more then others and it helps to get it out especially to those that can completely understand what you are venting about, so bring it on and keep posting, I don’t think you would find anyone here that minds it one bit, well maybe one or two but who cares what they think.

Title: Re: ok I'm not d..... Well not s good subject... Post by Ree on Jun 20th, 2006, 10:14pm HEY WE MISSED YOU... Congratulations on the weight loss... that is great.....I'm glad your on the right track...The cholesterol is a scarey thing and you are wayyyyy too young to have such high cholesterol..... we have high cholesterol in my family too...it's not an easy thing to deal with..... Eat cheerios for a snack... my brother dropped his cholesterol with oatmeal too and his was off the charts also... I wanted to warn you about Lexapro side effects..... It can make you quite groggy and also anxious..... If it works for you great. It wouldn't be my first choice if you want to keep the weight off though.... anyway..... be well... vent anytime... and love ya~~ don't stay away so long....rooting for you......(Wellbutrin and Zoloft are the antidepressants that help to reduce weight gain and boost your metabolism)ree |

Title: Re: ok I'm not d.....

I tried that lexapro and lost my appititite but didn't like how it made me feel......if sumthin makes me feel worse then it did when I started I step back and think about it. Brad took it for several years but he seem'd to tire quicker when we were out and didn't get to any projects. He quite takeing it this summer........but it seems to be one of the more popular meds now for depression ect so hope it works for you !!! I didn't know zoloft didn't cause weight gain........I won't take any of that stuff cuz of it. I get depressed overweight so what was the point takeing sumthin that was doin that ? Endless cycles Pam Have sum fun........you deserve it........Brad's job is real slow and has never been like this.......he's been there since high school !!!! We've been tryin to have a control'd FREAK OUT about it and hopein 'everyones' job situations pick up !!!!!! |

Title: Re: ok I'm not d..... Well not s good subject... Post by Tiannia on Jun 21st, 2006, 12:47pm Thanks everyone. Just got into that downward spiral and dont want to come here and lose it about everything but my head. :-[ That is what I love about this Family, no matter what is happening in our lives, you all are there. To help, hugg, or just listen. http://members.iinet.net.au/~vroncol/Smiley_gifs/rose.gif I guess I forgot that. http://members.iinet.net.au/~vroncol/Smiley_gifs/dunno.gif I have missed you all so much. And I can use the extra strength at the moment. I am not sure where it went but I cant find my Wonder Woman Gold Bra and well, without it I have to get what help I can find. It will work out. I have to believe that. I have to keep my faith and believe that this will happen the way it is supposed to. The Powers that Be have not let us down yet, no matter how confusing the path seems. So I have to trust that this is the same situation. Not sure about the Lexapro. I cant sleep restfully for days then I crash out. I slept for 15 hours Sunday. Not sure if that is the meds or just stress. But I'm not on the verge of breaking down in tears for no reason atm, so that is a good thing. I dont want the weight back. I have not been this light since I got married and got pregnant the next month. I want to lose another 20 pounds. So I dont want to take the Lexapro if that will cause me to gain it back. I'll talk tot he doc about that on the 10th when I see him again. |
