Wow, I'm right in the middle of a migraine aura, for the first time in years. Very psychadelic with the zig-zaggy multi-colored lines and missing bits of vision ~ I have to be at work in 45 mins; if I'm lucky, the aura will subside soon without the headache following. OOoh, so shimmery and the trails are fantastic!
Hmm, I haven't been sleeping well the past few days, I guess from the stress about my job...
the G@# D@#$% doctors! i go to alot of doctors; and my peeve is that they are always right and the patient is wrong and doesn't know what they are talking about; now this isn't all doctors; i have a couple that will work with me; honor what i am saying; but the one that i saw last week for the problem i am still dealing with; kept arguing with me about a problem that had already been verified by another doctor and that i had over 5 years experience with
i know they are busy; and again some of you may be doctors; and it is tough out there today; but it just makes me want to scream! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
THANKS FOR THIS POST
geeze this is major peeve day; people leaving you out in the cold at the last minute; making you have to scramble for an alternative; this really grinds me; i understand people have scheduling difficulties; but for me this situation was a big deal;
now i am scrambling
okay; a nights sleep brings on calm; and tryig to understand wheree others are coming from
Just had a big one for today: 2nd strike out in finding dog sitters so we can visit my family in SoCal for New Year's. Don't really have anyone else that I know of to ask, although we will keep thinking.
I know it's our choice to have dogs, but I am still sad that I won't get to see my dad, step-mom, step-sisters, neieces and nephews this year. And my dad will be angry because my brothers are traveling in southeast Asia and won't be there, either.
*sigh*

I'm really fed up with doctors, too. I'm tapering off of Lexapro which is making me hyper one day and sluggish the next thanks to bouts of drug-induced insomnia. Meanwhile, my doctor wants me to get full panel bloodwork SOON because I refuse to take Lipitor any more and she's obsessed with cholesterol. And then there's the shingles shot and physical therapy for my shoulders and I forget what-all. I'm sick of THIS. I'm not going to spend my retirement years running from one doctor or test or specialist to another when I'm perfectly healthy except for the muscle loss from Lipitor! The next doctor who wants me to take a drug is going to have to run d@mn fast to catch me!Quote:

Hey, you know what they call the guy who graduated dead last in his class in med school?
Doctor.
It's finally the end of a very busy week in retail-land; today I really feel my age. And instead of doing good things to pamper myself during the busy holiday retail season I've picked up some of my old bad habits all of the sudden and it is making it worse. I've let myself succumb to the lure of a few cigarettes a day, and, duh, no wonder I'm in a pissy mood and feel crappy. I should know better! I'm kind of really disappointed in myself. At least I have the next two days off to rejuvenate. However, I must make concrete plans for wellness and rest so I don't perpetuate this slip up...
Siouz i am sorry to hear of your struggle; i am having a hard time in the food area; binge eating; as i am depressed; the whole holiday thing etc.;; then i feel guilty; but in reading your post it makes me want to have compassion for you and myself; we are both stressed; anyway your post reminds me that a little compassion for what i am dealing with helps; maybe you are different
Peggy; not to put your joke down; i get angry with docs. but then i also feel for them
i have yet another appt. today with a doctor; everytime i try to cut the appts. out; they pick back up again; i have three to schedule in the new year; grrr.... and thats in addition to the ones that are already scheduled; i can't seem to stay out of medical world...thanks for this post to vent my frustrations
