A little bit back I posted a thread about not being able to sleep - well I took alot of the advice given to me by all the BYC DR's ( drank tea, relaxing baths,got a book..etc) things were going well for a few nights but i was back to not sleeping again - so I went to the DR.
All my blood work comes back fine - no major problems, my hypoglacema ( i know spelled that wrong LOL ) is alittle bit messed up- seems my body is still making more insalin than it can handle which is giving me some problems - DR called it factor X - all that means is unlike diabetic's who have to be careful how much sugar they eat, I on the other hand need sugar through out my day to help counteract some of the insulin - I did not know that sugar eats insulin ( that's why diabetic's have to be careful not to eat to much sugar).
Also he told me I suffer from a mild case of depression - I did not know that since I dont feel all that bad - but since I stay home all day have very little to no human contact all day - it takes a toll on a person mentally- I told him that I work from home ( DH does not want me to get a job outside of the home ) he is not trying to be mean but he knows that I do alot for us here - I help with the paper route, I do ALL the paper work that goes along with the paper route, handle customer accounts, keep track of who is out of town etc.., plus take care of all the animals.
The DR mentioned Meds to control the depression - I told him I would rather not take any since it is only a mild case. So he said there is one thing I could do at home to help control it- GET A PET LOL I started laughing I could not help it. Dr said a pet would give me something to focus on keep me company and give me someone to talk to.
I told him that I have plenty of animal DR's at home, between 4 dogs, 3 ducks,1 rooster,16 hens,1 man hating parrot,1 lovebird- i dont think finding company around here will be a problem LOL
so come spring when I get more chicks I can tell DH that they are DR's orders LOL I wonder can I write them off as a medical expense???????
