Re: Grrrrrrr! Might be taking two days off.

[Guest guest]

, take a deep breath and reread you subject heading. The

reality -- which is frustrating - is that you will probably miss two

days of working out. I know how much you love to work out. Taking

two days off is a bummer. You will survive it, though. Maybe you

will even be reenergized from the break? Deal with the medical

problems tomorrow when you see your doctor. It's natural to relive

past nightmarish experiences. Tomorrow, if that comes about, you

will get through it. But in the meantime, try to take your mind off

it. Take one of your famous baths!

Thanks Elena, I took a walk and then a bath. I'm not so concerned about missing

the working out as I am of going through all of that AGAIN. I woke up feeling

like I was choking the other night and started coughing and sneezing like a mad

women, so thats probably where the bloody nose came from. I'm just over

analyzing and over worrying about all the little things right now because some

of those symptoms that got me in the hospitol have started to return. Whenever

anything upsets me these days I deal with it by working out, when I can't work

out I have no idea how to deal with it. I just needed to vent since is not

here to vent to and if I call my parents they will over-worry more than I will.

:-) Sorry to overreact :-O I'm sure its nothing more than my fear getting the

best of me.

Who will follow her own advice, so some deep stretches and take another long hot

bath this evening.

Ann Marie,

I actually try not to run the heat since we are on a limited budget while I am

not working. I have a prescription for a steriod nose spray which I have been

using. I think it was my coughin, sneezing fit the other night that did it. Just

coupled with my headache and dizziness it has not been fun. Its getting better

now.

Since we are on the topic of noses...I thought I'd quickly share my broken nose

story.

When I was in third grade I has the hugest crush on my teacher. I use to bat my

eyes at him and try to be the teachers pet. When we had a rollerskating party

for our class I tried to show off by skating pretty fast. Well I ended up

falling right in front of him. Thats not how I broke my nose though. While I

was still on the ground, my teacher skated up and couldn't swerve to avoid me.

He ended up running over my nose. He spent the rest of the day holding my nose

and he always paid attention to me after that. Boy did my face look awful!

Have you tried a saline nasal mist? Usually when the weather outside

is cold and we have to crank the heat, it tends to dry out your nasal

passages which can cause a bloody nose. Hope you're feeling better

soon.

I certainly hope everything goes well when you see your doctor. Please don't

stress too much about it. We tend to expect the worse, usually without just

cause. It's a really great time of the year for feeling yucky. I hope you

feel better soon. Don't beat yourself up about having a light workout week.

Afterall, a little goes a long way... and being healthy is more of a mind

thing. Your mind is definitely in the right place. Hang in there, and

continue to let us know how you're doing.

started coughing and sneezing like a mad women, so thats probably

where the bloody nose came from.

Probably no time to workout without disturbing the neighbors.

Try not to panic. I know how much you like to workout, but it sounds

like your body needs the rest! Let us know how it goes at the doctor

tomorrow!

I know what you mean about the medical history part. After 5 car accidents

and 2 work incidents, I finally put them all on the computer with a list of

the treatments and each doctors' diagnosis. So now when I go in for an appt.

I don't confuse them with too much info at once. Plus I get nervous and

ramble from one incident to the other.

I also use working out as a stress reliever. And I'm lucky that I have my

fur-kids. They are always the best listeners and always seem to agree with

me <VBG>. Now that I've found this list though, I've found it to be a great

source of support also.

Another thing I do to relax is turn out all the lights and just use candles.

For some reason, it helps put me into a more relaxed mood.

Good luck to you!!

If you're on a prescription nasal spray, they also can cause

nosebleeds. I have used Flonase, Aestelin, etc. and if I use them

every day, I end up with nosebleeds as well. I found that if I used

them every other day, I didn't get a nosebleed from it.

Ouch!!! That must've been awful to have your nose run over!!

, I agree with Ann Marie. In fact, I actually got a perforated septum

from years (10 years) of steroid sprays. They are heavy duty medicine.

, I sure hope your doctor visit goes well and you can get back

on track. Until then take care of yourself!!!

> Its been getting warmer little bit by litte bit and I thought I

would try out my new running shoes today. But (and not gross you out)

I have had a bloody nose, headaches and dizziness for the last two

days and my chest is hurting again (I possibly pulled that same

muscle, not sure) I worked out yesterday but lightly, today as it

stands, it is out of the question. Tommorow (Stellar timing) I have a

doctor's appointment. But since my husband is out in the field it

will be an all day affair of me figuring out the bus system to get

down there and back. Probably no time to workout without disturbing

the neighbors.
