Tril, hows your diet? What are you eating everyday? Are you getting enough protein at every meal?

Probably not. I'm eating a lot of grains and those veggie burgers that you buy frozen and heat up-----but only b/c I've been too lazy to eat well and I don't trust frozen meat burgers you can microwave. I feel really good on Atkins but it's very expensive...all that meat...cheese; but I feel good and energized when I do it.

Iron supplements are pretty cheap and can be had OTC. Might be a good place to start. After I had the baby, I was anemic enough to be at "needs a blood transfusion" levels and I felt exhausted, but taking iron supplements helped perk me back up.

How long did it take before you felt better?

Not rude at all. I don't remember exactly, I got it at Costco. It was like $18 or $20 or so.

It's hard to say since I was also recovering from a C-section and dealing with a newborn, but... probably a month? My blood was literally the consistency of Kool-Aid and I didn't have the energy for much of anything. I'm still taking them four months later. There's iron in the multivitamin I take, but if I stop taking an additional supplement I can feel the exhaustion set in within a day or two.

My husband takes B12 vitamins and they help his energy level a lot. Maybe just start with a good multi?

My sis and I are fighting and we're not getting anywhere with reconciliation.

Lola Bunny · 12-16-2012, 10:13 AM

So sorry to hear, MTP.

morethanpretty · 12-18-2012, 05:13 PM

Went to the doc last night, I've got an pharyngitis with an upper respiratory infection. Oh and did I mention I had balloon sinuplasty and a tonsillectomy only 20 days ago? Yup, recovery is going so well.

Lola Bunny · 12-18-2012, 09:35 PM

Again, so sorry to hear, MTP.

I hope you'll on the road of recovery and stay on it.

Hale yeah! I keep remembering i'm off work all next week. It will be scramble time when we go back but it's worth it for the break. On a football Sunday, I remember reasons to like my job.

I just learned that the indigenous people of Vancouver Island are the Kwakwaka'wakw.

Go on, say it. Three times, if you still aren't smiling.

Their village is on banks of the NicNakPadiWak River.
It's there so everyone can see when the old man comes rolling home.

Is it really frightening or really hilarious how the gun-nut crazies are going absolutely berserk at the slightest hint that some sort of gun control (i.e. more than we have) has been given leverage in light of the most recent massacre?

We have examples of a couple of them here. If the cellar is a microcosm of the world, then you can maybe make projections on the ratio of gun-nuttiness to responsible, thinking, intelligent gun owners in this country.

Let the foots and the likes in the world have their guns. You hear no nutty crazy blatherings from those who aren't, well, nutty crazy. You know, the ones who give the impression of severe post-traumatic stress, 'shell-shockiness' or just plain inexplicable and complicated nuttiness.

The nuts have convinced me who the dangerous owners are: most likely to start shooting from their cabin on top of Paranoia Hill at anyone approaching in case they are there to talk about reasonable gun laws. Talk about it? Have those difficult conversations? No, not until their guns are pried from their cold...eh, you know the rest.

Yee-haw.

Lamplighter · 12-25-2012, 08:58 AM

The gun-nuts are losing the PR battle.
... and eventually guns will either be banned completely,
or there will be more and more Ruby Ridge events.
One way or the other they are the losers.

The only possible alternative I see is for the so-called "sane gun owners"
to begin dialog with the rest of the community, to get rational gun control.

For example, given a man who has a wife and children, and he wants to have his guns,
but she sees danger and wants to protect her children and herself.

Which is more important, life and freedom from fear ... or... owning a gun ?
Whose rights will prevail ?

If sane gun owners can not answer such a question, guns will eventually be banned completely.
