But it energizes you? Staying away from sugar and additives gives more energy if you stick to it regular.

It does me. Esp at night when I need to be sleeping.

Google sezs stage 4 can cause death. I didn't think they were that serious.

I would imagine the infection can go systemic, and that can certainly kill you. Organ failure.

That’s good. It is called intermittent fasting. Very effective. How is the ozempic working?

I've never had much of an appetite but now I can hardly eat at all. You know how you're not supposed to eat more protein than the palm of your hand? I eat a quarter of that and I'm full. Two bites of mashed potatoes and a spoonful of salad and I'm ready to puke.

That’s good. That I weaned myself of the hydrocodon. I have a pill splitter. I only take 1/4 tab when I really need something.

How did you wean? 1/4 at a time? For how long?

I'm 71. I see my psych every 3 months. So far he sees no reason to change my meds. I never say I was suicidal, it's weird. It's like suicide was an overpowering exterior urge I had to use every ounce of my will and strength to RESIST, and it was overwhelming, terrifying and exhausting. Like ... a compulsion I battled, not something I ever wanted to do, at all. It was ... like a spiritual/ emotional battle. It's hard to explain. I'm glad I'm free of it!


Yes, Granny. I sought medical help while working as a live-in care-giver and ranch hand in three or four different states. My memory of those years is very spotty. I was pretty fried.

Glad you are so stable now.

Wow that’s great. But you need that protein. They are finding it is the downfall of the drug. People are not eating enough protein.

Oh don't be sad for me! That was 24 years ago and I have a BEAUTIFUL life now! I have a wonderful husband who adores me, my GC is my BFF, I love my chickens, it's peaceful and beautiful here, my GS is thinking about being a preacher ... my life is wonderful now!

I know I can't eat much so I make sure to get plenty of protein. Thanks!

Yes. I feel pretty good on it after a while.
