Just to say HI

Hello everyone,
    Hope your day is going well. I'm doing great. After 4 days of spring cleaning I'm a bit tired and giving myself a day off. Now that I'm feeling like my old self I'm forgetting to eat. It's noon here and I just realized I have not had breakfast yet.
    I have physical therapy later today. I'm not sure it is helping my balance problems. They seem to be a little worse. Maybe it's one of those things where it gets worse before it gets better.
    I so enjoyed being at the chat session last night. I have really missed being able to "talk" in real time. If you don't do the Monday night chats you should try it.

Hi Mag, good to hear your doing "great" , Im sore.. did a 14 hr drive over easter weekend, and my body did not like it. so every movement is pain right now.

I too have to remember to eat at times, then others I am starving all day no matter what.. crazy isnt it!

I enjoyed chat last night too, 1st time being in one on here, although I came in late .. was fun, and nice to see everyone interacting. I need reminded loudly of the time on Mondays or I am side tracked with everything else.... will try again next monday and see how it goes for me lol..

Hi
   Sorry you were so sore from your Easter trip. Hoping it is gone now. Yeah, forgetting to eat is strange. I'm trying to stick to a schedule now. It's so confusing. i'm told not to eat unless I'm hungry and then they say eat more calories.  Silly doctor.   Mag  

Hi Mag,  Do remember to eat at regular intervals.  Your body needs the nutrition.  Hope your balance issue resolves asap.

I too miss the chat nights when I am unable to attend.  Keep up the great work Mag.  Hugs

Thanks Kathy.  I'm trying to be more organized about eating. I have to find a way that works for me. Doctor's plan hasn't worked for me. As long as I'm eating healthy I don't think it's important if it's 3 meals or higher number of smaller meals.  Mag  

Hey Mag. Do they know whats causing the balance issues? Colleen had problems with this too, but cannot remember what hers was from. I hope it passes quickly! EAT breakfast within 30 minutes of waking up to get your metabolism optimized for the day, even if its a no sugar added carnation instant breakfast.

Hi Patrece,
   Glad to see you on the boards!  Miss you. The balance problems have been with me since I was 15 and had an infection in my brain. It was not a big deal. I was just clumsy. A year ago it started to get worse. I started falling. Many times I was able to hang on to furniture etc and had no injuries. Last September I started to get much worse. I had sinus surgery to open a drainage system that was blocked. I thought that would be the cure. not so much. As usual, the PT person. said I am a complicated case. (I never follow the usual path.) I have a left inner ear problem and my neck muscles aren't strong enough to hold my head steady. Wearing a soft neck collar which helps a lot. Mag

Thank you! I have missed being around.

I am so sorry! It must be very frustrating do deal with those balance issues all of the time, especially with them beginning to progress into worse ones. I do hope and wish they can find a way to improve, if not correct this.
