Dorene,

That's great, my oldest sister is 55 or 56 now I think

and it's started pretty recently for her. My other

sis is in her mid-late 40's also and as far as I know

she's not having any signs yet.

Sometimes I feel so young....so young and so much in

love with my husband, it's such a new feeling for me.

I don't think in any of my other relationships I was

ever totally comfortable with my body. With I

never have to worry about sucking in my gut, or

wondering if he likes my boobs, lol. It's such a

relaxing and peaceful feeling to be able to totally be

myself.

Do you have any sugar problems? The reason I ask is those zombie sleeping

habits are a symptom. What's wrong with your stomach, eat before bedtime?

Everytime i do that I have nightmares or dream some crazy thing that wakes me up

but makes no sense.

I was in one of the deep sleeps I get into every one in a while.

The kind where no matter what anyone tries they can't wake me up. It

is scary to thing that if something happens like a fire or something

that I'd be so out of it I couldn't be woken up.

My body seems to really need it though. Usually after one of thosd

sleep I seem to be rejunivinated and my body goes back to acting

normal again.

My head still feels doepy so I probaly will have to go lay down

again soon.

Are you from Michigan? Iam...for now anyway!..LOL We are trying to re-

locate to NC.

I was noticing that you are a writter? My husnand is a

writter/author. He wrote a book about 10-11 years ago that is being

taught in public school cirriculums now! We have just revised it and

are re-releasing it. We are looking to get it on QVC and HSN too!

Also, he is writting a screen play for a movie producer out in

California right now! We havent seen much of him as he has been

burried in the bedroom trying to get it completed for her!

Well, anyway...just thought Id drop ya a line!

That is exactly how I found out I had hypoglocemia the first time it started

acting up 6 years ago. I was in between jobs for a few weeks and I would get up

with the kids until they went to school, eat a little debbie sit on the couch to

watch a little tv and past out, I was in one of those coma like sleeps, where

you try to wake up but you can't seem too. So have your sugar checked and if

you eat something sweet before going to bed follow it up with a stabilizing

food.

I am lactose intollerat but have not had trouble with it for a long

hadn't been able to eat ice cream for years. Then last year I was

sick to my stomach anyway so I decided to try it. I was able to eat

ice cream sandwiches every day with no ill affect. Last night it

just hit me wrong for some reason.

I have been feeling off for some reason for the past few weeks. I

think it is the weather. Whatever is it it is plaaying havoc with my

entire system. No AF. My surga levels seem to be going wacky. I

haven't tested them but I do notice the shakes every once in a while

if I go too long without eating.

My weirdest thing is that my hands have red and white cirdles on

the palms. I have asked my doctor about them but he blew me off.

They only show up when I am feelin a little off. They are not on the

surface but under the skin and my palms feel hot and are tingly. I

have no idea what it is but it sure bugs me.

Dorene,

We had some tough times when we first got together.

His ex-wife did his best to control him and keep him

away from me. It almost worked...I even broke it off

with him one night...went home and was crying and

getting drunk and he showed up. Begged me not to

because he had never felt like he felt when he was

with me. We got it straight that he doesn't fix the

ex's dryer, that is up to her since she cheated and

they got divorced and he's paying her a hell of a lot

more than he should be in child support and even

alimony back then. She was a pro at laying guilt

trips on him, even after their divorce.

It took a long time for him to realize that just

because someone yells " Rabbit! " that he doesn't have

to jump (except for me of course, lol!). Poor guy had

never stood up for himself until he met me. He's

learned pretty fast though and I give him alot of

credit. Until he met me his opinions had never

mattered. How very sad. But things have been alot

better since we got married. I think his ex pretty

much knew the game was over and she hasn't bothered us

more than a couple times since then.

There's not a day that goes by that I don't wake up

and thank God for bring him to me to be my husband and

father to my girls. I will never understand his ex.

She had everything and now she has nothing. Maybe

that's why she's so angry?

They say everything happens for a reason, maybe that

is why our kids grow up and move out and sometimes

away, so we'll make more!

Watch yourself and your husband closely, people who

are hypoglycemic are more likely to bounce the other

way and become diabetic.

If you both haven't had a blood test recently I'd get

in right away and get it checked. Hemoglobin A1C is

the name of the test I believe.

Keep us posted,

Watch yourself and your husband closely, people who

are hypoglycemic are more likely to bounce the other

way and become diabetic.

If you both haven't had a blood test recently I'd get

in right away and get it checked. Hemoglobin A1C is

the name of the test I believe.

Keep us posted,

Ouch! You are making me hurt!

I had the episiotomy with my first and the stitches

hurt for 2 weeks, could hardly sit. The tear with my

2nd one hurt when they stitched it up, but no pain

afterwards, go figure. Last one was smaller by an

entire pound so no trouble with that one.

teases about needing a radio so we can

communicate back and forth at the ballparks. Let each

other know when one of the kids is about to come up to

bat, etc....so we can run run run across the park to

the other field. lol

Wow what a jerk doctor. Now with my 3rd I had to be induced also because he

was 2 weeks late, but it was a breeze! They put me on the drip around 10am and

put the belt monitor on me I had one contraction show up which I barely felt,

and they gave me an epidural, about an hour later the doctor came in said push I

pushed once and out came my sweet baby boy. If they were all that easy birthing

would be great!

Juna was my third and she gave me a lot less trouble thatn my

first. The biggest problem I had with her was she was induced. The

DR. put me on the PIT and then went out for supper. I was in extreme

pain but he forgot to order any pain medication for me so the nurses

couldn't give me anything. When he got back asked him if I

could have pain medication. His jaw dropped open. He quickly

ordered it.

Dorene,

Have you tried taking a nice brisk walk before bed?

That helps me relax and the fresh air always helps me

sleep...that's why I love to camp.

Sorry to hear you had a bad night hon, did you get a

nap today?

lol, and I've only made it to the Y once this week, I

try to go 3 or more times but I couldn't get those

flabby cheeks out of my bed.

I think I get stressed and worn out when my co-worker

is gone and I have to do everything myself.

But she'll be back Monday thank goodness.
