Yeah,Maybe if I had taken more than a multi-Vit & B-12 I would not be having all
these problems 5 yrs out.
I see the list of others what they take in vitamins & wow not even close to what I take
even now.  Getting better, but, not anywhere like I should be.
I agree with Reenie Getting Older really sucks big time.

Marilyn,

I'm really, really sympathetic.  Sounds lik we're on the same rocky path.  Hope the ultrasound shows nothing serious.  I'll hang in there and you hang in there and I'm positive that everything will work itself out for the best.

Hugs,
C.

YOu know I was thinking about the gettign older thing myself.
most of my in life friends have not had surgery to lose weight. they have most of the same complaints as we do!
In fact i have a good friend who has to take specail supliments from her doctor because of her anemia and she is perfect in size. she's 57 and just has this problem.
another friend of mine has issues with cholesteral. I've never even when i was heavy had a problem with that.
now my mother who was heavy but as she has aged has lost weight has a problem with her legs and the viens in them. I'm prone to those issues myself. vericlose viens run in my family. when i was heavy my legs would ache. they did great after i lost the weight but rece3ntly without the doing the excersize i need to do they have started aching again.
but i think that if i still had that weight i'd be doing alot worse health wise.
my blood pressure (hold on knocking on my wooden desk.....) has been great,.
i'd never had a problem with that but over the few years before surgery it would creap up a point or 2 and the doc had said to me if i didn't lose weight i'd have to be on meds in a year so now that it is good thats on the back burner.
anemia was something i had when i was pregnant with the kids but i've not had it checked in a while. i think listening to you guys i'm going to be proactive instead of having to weight to be reactive and the next time i have blood work i'm going to re4quest they do that too,.
i guess thats what we've got to do be proactive.

so i listen to all of you and do what i think will help me even if i do not hav a problem with it right then and there.
lik ethe anemia i will get tested for it plus i will do some googling to find some good foods that could help boost it up.
on a lighter note...whats everyone doinjg this weekend? something fun or relaxing thats just for you?
friday hight i'm planning on going to the moviesall by myself or with my daughyer to see the new woodstock movie tht is coming out. i was 16 the year of woodstock and more afraid of my mother than i was of running away for the weeeknd so i stayed home and listened to all my friends when they came back about their wild and crazy times. i told them how bummed (hahaha) i was about missing it but inside let me tell you i was glad i didn't go! no food! pouring rain! the pottys were discusting! no toilet paper! forget it! when i go camping i require much more than that! but of course when i hear from those friends i always agree and say wow you have such awesoem memories!

Jim and I are going to try and see this as well. No harm in recapturing our youth a little bit, right? Let's compare notes next week! M.

I think I told you this. I had to go get IV iron last summer for several hours. . I felt so good the next day I almost killed my self cleaning house. The next day my whole body hurt from over doing it! I do hope you will feel better once your iron is back up.  Judy

God has given me this day to use as I will. I can waste it or use it for good. Today is very imporant, because I'm exchaning a day of my life for it.
