Be sure not to miss Sunday, we are all looking forward to seeing you. And we are all in the same food boat. You do have more going on than most. Having RA I can't imagine numbers like that. I pray that will not be my future and also that your husband will respond well to the new meds.<br /><br />Take care, thinking of you. <br /><br />ShelleyShelleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546147648413993511.post-44261577957298765962011-01-06T21:56:30.135-05:002011-01-06T21:56:30.135-05:00Tracy, most of the time it is outside the box idea...Tracy, most of the time it is outside the box ideas that make things happen! :) Thank you for your prayers, they are like gold.<br /><br />Lynae, thank you so much for the suggestion. I will absolutely look into Olive Leaf Extract and we will mention it to his rheumatologist.<br /><br />Jane, your words are always so meaningful to me. You are absolutely right. I feel FANTASTIC when I'm maintaining my healthy diet, exercising, getting the sleep I need, etc. Taking care of myself makes me more capable of taking care of those around me. I HAVE to remember this, sometimes it's easy to lose sight of that fact.<br /><br />Anonymous, you are absolutely right! <br /><br />I'm happy to report that my kitchen is now stocked with all my healthy choices. I had to run out to the store as my husband wanted oatmeal. Not much sounds good to him right now since having his infusion today. While there I went ahead and purchased my grocery order. Tomorrow is a new day and my lunch back will be bursting with fresh fruits, lean meats, veggies and healthy snacks. Sunday will be my weigh in. I'm grabbing this bull by the horns and taking control again.Fat Girl Fights Backhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13280547102944153837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546147648413993511.post-9470731663318066862011-01-06T20:21:42.852-05:002011-01-06T20:21:42.852-05:00Please stay strong.

It was only when I put my abstinence from food addiction before everything else that I was able to be present and helpful to everyone and everything. Before then, I was going through the motions and drugging myself with the food so I never noticed.<br /><br />You are a better spouse, a better mom and a better worker and student because you have invested in yourself with last year. Do not let that go now. Keep trudging and remember you are not alone.Jane Cartellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00655507125048588634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546147648413993511.post-6255243697327517452011-01-06T14:47:33.848-05:002011-01-06T14:47:33.848-05:00Reading your last post was moving and overwhelming...Reading your last post was moving and overwhelming. And also a little familar. I have a high SED as well, not as high as your husband's, but enough to be in pain each day. There is something I take that helps. It's called Olive Leaf Extract, it is a natural anti-inflammatory, and does a lot of other things for the immune system. I am the healthiest I have been in 14 years because of this supplement. I buy it at walmart, it's $6 a bottle, nature made brand. I don't expect you to take my word for it, and I know you are a smart woman. Here are two links I found helpful, with some mention of RA in them.<br />http://curezone.com/foods/oliveleaf.asp<br />http://www.regenerativenutrition.com/content.asp?id=62 I was first intruduced to Olive Leaf Extract when I was young. My father had a toxic yeast infection, it took several doctors, many tests, and all but one doctor giving up on him. He found a very unconventional doctor that gave him Olive Leaf extract, it literally saved his life. I hope this can be of some help to you.Lynaehttp://my70poundmonster.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546147648413993511.post-46143719683753878582011-01-06T10:15:09.762-05:002011-01-06T10:15:09.762-05:00I do not even know what to say. You are right to ...I do not even know what to say. You are right to be honest and share your true feelings. Any one of the stresses on your plate right now would be enough to make anyone want to crawl in a shell. But put them all on the plate together and it is no wonder that is your response. However, you know that this will not help. I am really hoping this new medicine will bring much relief to Nick and that the side effects will be minimal. The good news is that the kids will not always be under 4. When you start nursing school they will be older too. I wonder if there is any way you could trade your talents for child care. That is way out of the box thinking....but who knows. I will keep thinking and I will be praying. With God nothing is impossible!Tracy Mathesonnoreply@blogger.com
