My Cholesterol
I figured I should get it tested since when I was 279 pounds I was 335 or
350 And my moms chol is very high, well its now 148-180 YAY!!!! I told the receptionist at my General Docs, "COOL! and I drank heavy cream last night!" and she was like, "WHAT???" I told her Im on a Low Carb Diet! Oh Okay she said, in a dumbfounded voice. BTW Jean? I picked up that stupid "Low Carb Recipe Book" by Prevention that you were talking about...? OMG where do they get off? SUGAR, FLOUR, REAL COOKIES, SUGARED CHOCOLATE! Uhhh, DURRRRRRRRRR! I feel great today, Im not able to get freaked out about stuff, cause of the Buspar but I can still be my sarcastic Philly girl self!

Time will tell. I told the receptionist at my General Docs, "COOL! and I drank heavy cream last night!" and she was like, "WHAT???" I told her Im on a Low Carb Diet! Oh Okay she said, in a dumbfounded voice. Hehe. That would be rather fun. I think we should make a point of eating something that is traditionally verboten before we go in for our checkups! BTW Jean? I picked up that stupid "Low Carb Recipe Book" by Prevention that you were talking about...? OMG where do they get off? SUGAR, FLOUR, REAL COOKIES, SUGARED CHOCOLATE! Uhhh, DURRRRRRRRRR! Isn't that the oddest thing? If you bought it, do they have any explanation for this in the front matter? I feel great today, Im not able to get freaked out about stuff, cause of the Buspar but I can still be my sarcastic Philly girl self! YAY! That's great too. Things are looking up for you! I could use some meds myself. Too bad my dr. moved to some inaccessible location.... -- Jean B. |

BTW i got email from customer service at SouthBeach wanting to talk to me about the boards! That's great too. Things are looking up for you! I could use some meds myself. Too bad my dr. moved to some inaccessible location.... My moms all freaked out by me being on Psych meds... She hates ppl who always have headaches or say "I need something for my nerves!" Or " My nerves are shot!" AS IF WE ALL LIE or its all in our heads or something! *(*(*(*(*(Rolls Eyes)*)*)*)*)* preesi |

BTW i got email from customer service at SouthBeach wanting to talk to me about the boards! Oh?! Now that's progress. My moms all freaked out by me being on Psych meds... She hates ppl who always have headaches or say "I need something for my nerves!" Or " My nerves are shot!" AS IF WE ALL LIE or its all in our heads or something! *(*(*(*(*(Rolls Eyes)*)*)*)*)* A lot of people in the older generation(s?) have a very negative attitude toward these things. I think they still think a person can just "buck up" somehow--that it is a character flaw or something. Others of us see more an more research that indicates this is chemical/biological, so why not adjust the chemistry? Needless suffering is not character-building. -- Jean B. |
