Be careful what you wish for

You know that saying “be careful what you wish for cuz you might get it”? well, yeah.  So. I’ve been crazy busy these last weeks getting #1 son off to college and prepping for new job teaching preschool.  I’ll admit it was crazy but I figured it would all calm down shortly.  And boy did it. . . . → Read More: Be careful what you wish for

Feed your Brain

I found this article in More magazine called “How to Feed Your Brain” which had some interesting tips that I thought I’d share.  It seems like everyone is an expert on brain health and everyone has ideas on how to increase your memory. In my opinion, most of them don’t work. At least, for me. And . . . → Read More: Feed your Brain

Thryoid and Mona Lisa

So, I’ll cut to the chase. I started my first dose of T4 Wednesday.  And boy it’s been a long time coming, as you know.  Finally connected with the gynecologist who was the only doctor to believe in me enough to willingly try a dose of Synthroid on me.  In case I forgot to tell you, . . . → Read More: Thryoid and Mona Lisa

More. sort of

So I’m reading an article from thyroid patient advocate Mary Shomon. In this article she discusses why and when you need an endocrinologist.  As you may know, I saw an endocrinologist and he shot me down. Took some tests and patted me on the head and sent me on my way (figuratively not literally) empty handed.  . . . → Read More: More. sort of

Summer Vacations!

Vacation: a period of travel and relaxation when you take twice the clothes and half the money you need.  ~Author Unknown

I’m really hoping my vacation will help me relax.  Experts say that vacations are good for us mentally.  According to Webmd.com, vacations help us ”recharge our batteries”:  http://www.webmd.com/depression/features/vacation-depression.  I am certainly hoping to recharge and relax and . . . → Read More: Summer Vacations!

Famous people and depression

There’s been a lot of press lately about celebrities (mostly men) and their sex addictions.  Psych Central discussed it in an article here: http://blogs.psychcentral.com/celebrity/2010/06/new-research-sheds-light-on-sex-addiction/.  These kinds of articles always make me think about my own struggles and how I would hate to have them blasted all over the TV and other media.

i’m like a broken record. or a hypochondriac.

Looking up endocrinologists today.

I know I know I’ve been down this road before. But I’m taking another go. For two reasons: #1 mostly because I’ve been feeling like crap: lethargic and moody for several weeks (ok two) and #2 the rest (leastly?) because I talked to a sympathetic ear this morning.

Mindfulness or lack of it (with some quotes thrown in)

Several years ago I approached my GP about my insomnia problems. She’s a DO (osteopathic doctor), but at the time I didn’t know it. Dr. H recommended a bunch of different techniques for me to try to overcome the insomnia. She suggested exercise (which I tried) and mindfulness techniques. . . . → Read More: Mindfulness or lack of it (with some quotes thrown in)

Wednesday, Wednesday, can’t trust that day…

If you have CRS (can’t remember sh*t), how do you remember to do important things?  I ask this question because my friend’s husband asked her the same question about me: if Pam is forgetful, how does she remember to write her blog? Good question. One I struggled with early on, cuz my early posts were not . . . → Read More: Wednesday, Wednesday, can’t trust that day…

insomnia, children, and abuse

got your attention, didnt i? <chuckle> 

In its early stages, insomnia is almost an oasis in which those who have to think or suffer darkly take refuge.  ~Colette (i dont know who she is but she sure is right.)  anyway.

I came across an article at psychcentral (http://psychcentral.com/news/2010/04/08/sleep-problems-in-youth-linked-to-abuse-in-adults/12689.html?utm_source=PsychCentral&utm_medium=twitter) in which the headline really caught my attention. It . . . → Read More: insomnia, children, and abuse
