DOC AT LSU IN NEW ORLEANS TAKES MEDICAID

 i know that feeling....being alone.    i am alone.   i am a single mother.   even when i let my ex in just a little bit..i wind up being hurt....and i wish there were someone here who just can say,  "maybe if you just left it alone...everything would be alright.......even in the chaos of everything...maybe if you left it all alone.      it would be ok."   but i can't.....i just want to be healthy for me and for my baby.  my baby is what drives me.....i cannot die on him in my sleep or anything else like my mom died on me.

Being in Pineville, you might have come in contact with country life a little. I grew up in the city, but with a country-soul. I guess that's why I loved my years in Pineville. Your statement reminded me of how farmers and wranglers keep horses so calm in the midst of chaos. They put blinders on them. Even when the horse can see straight ahead, those little masks protect them from the scary stuff all around them.

The Lord wants the same for us special woman given the honorable task of protecting our little ones. We focus on the babies or on the next step and try our best not to look on either side or look back. Just look ahead or close your eyes and be led my the power that called you to protect that child in the first place.

My baby has always been my inspiration, my motivation...my calling. It's scary and people will try to make you give up on yourself so you won't be disappointed again. I'm here to tell you that no one ever died of disappointment, but mothers died of heart disease, lung ailments, diabetes everyday.

Let's just put our blinders on and focus on the goals that will help us take care of ourselves and our little ones.

My best,
Frances

BLINDERS are on for me:) I must admit im having hunger issues that im trying to get in check. So working on that right now. Also, me and my son have been sick so not feeling good and being hungry isnt working well together. haha

Hope everyone has a great Monday!!!

Savanna: HAve you heard anything from medicaid??? Also, I got my lessons yesterdaywhat about you? Hope all is well!

 

Hows everything going ladies? Im doing really good keeping track of what im eating. It really OPENS your eyes when you right everything down. It always seems like alot of food to me!

Good going on the food journaling. It makes a very big difference in how we plan and execute a day's meals.

Please excuse my response here ... I have appointed myself the TRIO CHEERLEADER.

Rah, rah, rah .....Go, team, fight ...LOSE!

Onward (your friend and fellow soldier),

Frances

 frances....now that i have seen your old pictures...i remember seeing you around.  it is so good to see you in such a good form.  are you a teacher?  i ask because of the "lungs"  apron.    wow...now that i remember you.  it gives me chills to see how well you are doing.  ( i mean it gives me chills to see how well ANYONE is doing...but it seems so much more REAL when you actually remember the old person and to see the new....)   wow!  i hope you get the message i am trying to convey.  i get a little flabbergasted and discombobbulated with my words sometimes.  


and btw.  i can really see how this topamax med can help you lose weight.  i mean..i wouldn't recommend it to people who ONLY want to lose weight...but to those who might have migraines or possible absence seizures.  i don't want to eat anything...it's like food is bleh.  i have to force myself to eat SOMETHING.  maybe i won't need surgery afterall...heh!  and anything salty....ugh...out of the picture.  and let's not forget alcohol!  just the thought of a drop of the stuff.  this is like anorexia in a pill.  i'm a little concerned.  maybe i should start on a multi vitamin and start chugging some nu-whey.  i mean really.  i can see how people lose a ton of weight on this stuff AND their hair!  it's like malnutrition in a pill!  

nasty rainy night here...gonna force down this chicken salad sam' ich.  (it's got apples and grapes and romaine lettuce and whole grain bread and ordinarily i would be punching someone to eat it.  but i am going to have to FORCE it down!  good grief!  and i haven't even up ramped to the next dose yet!  )

yea i got mine too... and no i have not heard from medicaid. it sucks... but anyways ttyl

I still have not found a Dr. in my area that accepts medicaid.  I am at a loss for what to do after two years of trying.  I live next to the south Texas border and the closest Dr for medicaid is in Mererro.  He will not take my case because I live to far away.  Am i hopelessly doomed to be overweight forever? IDK

Louisianacountrygirl, what is the name of the doctor in marerro that takes medicaid?

 i have been seing a neurologist.  he thinks i am having absent seizures.  he put me on a pill called topamax.  from what i have read on the net.  topamax is an anticonvulsant...but it also helps wiht migraines (i have silent migraines...the aura....but no headache)  and it helps decrease bmi and systolic and diastolic measures....it also decreases alcoholic cravings.  i have been to rehab for alcohol.  this seems like a miracle pill to me.  i know i will not lose a ton of weight from it....but it will help me in the cases in which i suffer....htn...silent migraine...alcoholic cravings.   anyone wanna give me feedback>?
