I will try the grapes for brain food next semester. I was also told by a psychology professor in the past, not to eat candy or anything high in sugar right before a test because it would actually impair my thinking. That is, the sugar rush would affect my critical thinking skills. I don't eat a snickers right before a test anymore, which is actually good for my hips and test scores now!

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 Hi Donna: Yes, it was stressful and I am glad it is over! My hard work did pay off though! I made A's and a B > , WOW now that is a lot of stress with all your studying and pressures from others as well. I'm glad you stood your ground regarding your volunteerism... some people just love to take advantage of others and it seems like that person was trying to do that to you. I would have eaten the cookies too considering all you have been going through with your studying. I hope you make out ok on your finals.. sounds to me like you should ace them with all your studying. Kudos for getting to the gym too .. two times a day would be too much for you so at least you got there - things will fall back into a routine once you get past this stressful time. Good luck & keep us posted. Donna > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 Hi all, I am back home this morning until Sunday then off again for another wk. Just taking a moment to say Hi to all the new Members. I see there are a few new names in the last wk or so. Congrats to all the great losers here. I will be going for my WI later this morning. Hoping for a good one. Have a great day now. ~~Kallie~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 I've been so neglectful of checking my e-mails lately that I was in for a big surprise when I did. It is amazing at the new members that we have. I remember my first e-mail. I was nervous about seeming intrusive. I suppose it is a southern thing. I want to welcome all the new members and assure them that this will be the most comforting and informative place for discussion of IGA. Although I have been around (Although recently absent) I still have questions. So here goes. Last year was not the most pleasant year as far as health was concerned. Kidney infections, bladder infections and a hysterectomy etc. etc. etc. Anyway, I had been feeling so much better until recently. When that familiar nausua returned. Followed by loss of appetite (which can be beneficial) OK here is the really odd part. I get a chemical taste in my mouth after I do eat. After last year I have developed a real aversion to Docs. How long is it safe to go with a decreased urine output? I hear audible gasp. Maybe safe is not the word I am looking for more like before it gets critical.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Hi , Are you on an ACE inhibitor or similar drug at present? These can sometimes cause what is usually described as a metallic taste. It's hard to say what that is exactly, but I did experience it myself when I was on an ACE inhibitor. There are some other medications that I swear I can taste after I've taken them. Decreased urine output is kind of subjective and can be misleading. It depends on how decreased, and what your kidney function is. If you are really not putting out as much urine as you need to, you would be retaining water, and you will generally see it on your ankles during the day, plus you might feel some shortness of breath at night when lying down as the fluid pools around your lungs and in your abdomen. A person can have some mild " volume overload " which doesn't have obvious symptoms, but there's really no way to see that for yourself. A doctor can generally tell just by examining the arteries in your neck. Mild fluid retention is not a big emergency or anything, but I think it would be wise to see a doctor about it if you think you may have it. It eventually can put a strain on your heart. Decreased urine output may also simply be because you're doing well following your low sodium diet, and you're therefore not getting as thirsty. Less thirst = less fluid intake = less urine output.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Babette, One tip: rub in to your husband every day that you are a better painter than he is (us guys love that). Kidding. But it's good exercise, and it brings back Karate Kid memories (Paint o fence). Enjoy painting your new house, and say hi when you can! Jon jc Prayer is not overcoming God's reluctance, but laying hold of His willingness. — Luther Please note: message attached Hi Everyone! I just thought I'd drop a little note and let everyone know that I haven't disappeared for good! LOL Jeff and I have been working on the house every night ... and probably will be for a while. It's really interesting to work all day and then put in 4 or 5 hours doing hard labor in the evenings! lol It's going a little slower that I'd like because the woodwork is SO dark it's taking two coats of primer all over. I've discovered that I'm a much better painter then Jeff is ~ he doesn't seem to have the patience! lol But, he's doing more than his fair share of the work. Jeff has taken down all the molding in the house and the bedroom ceiling tiles. It's a construction zone over there! lol But, it's great to be doing all this work knowing that it's OUR house! So, please know that I'm trying to keep up with the posts, but I just don't have the time to individually answer them. As always, I'm keeping you guys in my heart and in my prayers! I'm hoping to have some free time soon ... maybe! Hugs, Babette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Hi Tonya, I am sorry you are not feeling well! But, I guess the pace you have been keeping catches up with you. You must be so run down with managing everything on your plate between school and work and your family. Hang in there a few more weeks though; the finish line is in sight :-) Feel better!
