A-fib. I don't have that to my knowledge but I do have proxysmal atrial tachicardia that I take meds for along with an arrythmia. From the attacks I had early on before I got on meds I felt a sense of anxiousness and a fluttering sensation in my chest. With the tach I felt anxious and then tired like I had ran a long race.

It's a pretty creepy feeling.

Nope it was a one time shot along with a steroid. Was in a lot of pain. Didn't realize how much until I stopped hurting.

I understand. Pain if not MAJOR can become your new normal.

Well put @Latestarter.

Alaskan, we can both grump together. Probably will take off from BYC till Monday, too gumpy. Need to sleep it off or something. I'm not liking me at all.

This pain makes me cranky, took none today until i got home from shopping.

In all seriousness. I'm well stocked up on food. I need to get out in the morning and buy some chicken food. Dogs and cats have food. We haven't had a measurable snow storm in years here so yeah, okay, enough snow to go cross country skiing would be nice. Enough to take the sleds out nicer.

I have leftovers. Trying to get my head wrapped around this diet for gout to see if it does make a difference in the way I feel. Can't depend on Toradol forever. But do Y'all realize how much high fructose corn syrup is in everything! I mean. Everything I love to eat has it in it. And to make matters worse it says that turkey is very high in purines which is what a person is supposed to avoid if they have gout. Good gawd y'all, I have one and a half turkey's in the freezer and I'm the only one that eats turkey.

The diet calls for chicken or salmon preferably chicken dark meat no more than 4 times a week. No high fructose corn syrup no fruits with a high sugar content. It calls for eggs also.

I'm saving my serving of turkey for tonight and ate pumpkin pie for lunch. Okay, it didn't say I couldn't eat it, just couldn't eat the whipped cream!

And I'm not supposed to loose any more weight eating this way.....yeah, right. Now THAT was sarcasm

Yeah, if something doesn't have a lot of sugar, it has high fructose corn syrup. If it doesn't have those things, it is loaded with fat. If not either of those, then its a rice cake!

I have two bags of those nasty things. Caramel and cheese flavored. I smear low fat cream cheese or peanut butter on them and can almost tolerate them.

I just ate a bowl of low fat ice cream with chocolate syrup. Both had the forbidden High Fructose Corn Syrup in them. It was delicious. I am keeping my pain medicine near....just in case.

My primary med came in the mail today. For some reason they will not send out more than a 30 day supply each fill. Have been taking this med for years and still they won't do it though I've asked multiple times. Took my BP several hours after taking a pill. No discernible change Last Dr. appt I had they mentioned perhaps going lower on one other med and upping this one I just got to double the dose. Gonna track BP for a while and may have to go that route if it doesn't come back down to "normal" for me.

Sitting here with a T-day leftover plate full of goodness. Had some light rain earlier today then it pretty well cleared off by late afternoon. Have the heat turned off right now and it's 69 inside. Temp tomorrow is supposed to be mid 70s. Gonna crack the window above my head tonight when I sleep.

 

[microchick]

Hope you get to feeling better @Latestarter.
