I guess dotters are OK sometimes...
My darling dotter can be a real pain in the you-know-what at times, but she does always try to take care of her mom.
I've been sitting in bed all morning (I guess that's the bright side of having just lost my job, I can sit in bed ;)), trying to decide if I want to pass out or throw up or both. I knew I should eat something, but I was too dizzy to go downstairs and cook it.
My daughter just brought me up a whole plate full of all different kinds of good food. I sure hope it makes me feel better.
Lately, every weekend I feel like this. I do my shots on Sundays, and I usually feel OK until about Thursday, and then I start heading downhill. Does anyone else get relief from the riba sx after they take their shot, or am I just weird?

How cool is this? We can see who is making some comments now. Lady E thanks for the encouragement,I also think you're the one who uses A&D on the hands? It really has helped.
Cindy: Thanks, I have a hard time not smoking when I'm stressed. I can do this and I will. I think...

Also, thanks for signing my guestbook a while back. I enjoyed your thoughts. Have a great day!!!

How are you both today. I am so proud of you doing this right now. You can do this, though I know it is not easy.
Just thinking about you and hope your managing fine.
Hang in there!

YOU GO GIRL! I hope you are still cigarette free!!! You can do it!
I quit January 2, and haven't had one since. Hubby is still smoking, but trying not to do it in front of me.
He has a bad cough & needs to quit even more than I did.
I still have little urges, but take a swig of my water bottle instead or just get up and go do something else.
So far so good. I was kinda cranky yesterday, But now that I think about it, Sundays are usually my most emotional day since I started tx anyway.
I've decided to organize a group of gals together & take a belly dancing class once a week. If I get 6 ladies together, I get my classes free. Call me frugal. I've lost 35 lbs now...might as well try to do something "good" with it. I'm hoping it will swing my confidence level back up..it's been kinda low and I've been down on myself quite a bit lately. I think the dancing will also be good for the low libido thing. :)
I just hope I can keep up with myself LOL
Best of luck in your quitting the cancer sticks!

I had my own business, a retail store, and much as I enjoyed it, the bills just weren't getting paid. So, I closed it on 12/31 after only a year, and I've been looking for a job. I have a second interview with a company that I'm really excited about on Wednesday morning, wish me luck.
I have my same insurance, I was still under COBRA from my old job. If I get this new job, I'll be switching from Aetna to Blue Cross. How does that work, switching in the middle of treatment?

I can't predict when I will feel the best or worst. It may have something to do with the rise and fall of the hgb. I have no idea. I use to feel worst for a few days after my shot, now sometimes it hits later in the week. I guess I missed that you lost your job, what happened and are you still insured?

Thanks, I'm hoping by publicly declaring I'm quitting, I'll be too embarrassed to start again! I'm worried it'll only get bad when I go back to work tomorrow. Work=stress=keep encouraging me to quit!
That's why I didn't tell anyone until afterwards!
24 hours...that's great! You're already to the third milestone on this list.
20 minutes after quitting, your blood pressure drops. The temperature in your hands and feet rises.
8 hours after quitting, the carbon monoxide (a gas that can be toxic) in your blood drops to normal.
24 hours after quitting, your chance of having a heart attack goes down.
2 days after quitting, you can taste and smell things better.
2 weeks to 3 months after quitting, you have better circulation. Your lungs are working better.
1 to 9 months after quitting, coughing, sinus congestion, fatigue, and shortness of breath decrease. Your lungs start to function better, lowering your risk of lung infections.
1 year after quitting, your risk for heart disease is half that of a smoker's.
5 years after quitting, your risk of having a stroke is the same as someone who doesn't smoke.
10 years after quitting, your risk of dying from lung cancer is half that of a smoker's. Your risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, kidney, and pancreas also decreases.
15 years after quitting, your risk of heart disease is now the same as someone who doesn't smoke.

I'll have to print that and post it on my mirror. Better yet, in the car, I never smoke in the house. I mean I never smoke at all anymore! I really don't want my sense of smell to get any better. I'm having a hard time handling smells as it is. This feels like a really hard pregnancy: morning sickness (that lasts all day like most morning sickness), fatique, hyper sense of smell. What better time to give up the smokes!
I'm about to find out myself. My ins was blue cross of Texas until Dec. 31 and now we have Blue Cross of California and I haven't got the ins cards yet. Just another deductible to meet for me.
BTW, I'm really quitting this time. No cigarette in more than 24 hours and absolutely no desire!

Good for you, you CAN do this. The first few days are the toughest but then your all set!
So sorry you are feeling like this and going through everything you are. Hope the food your daughter brought to you helps. Take care, Mequila.
