Sorry about the new page. You have to either create a Google account (or I think there are other choices) or you can just bookmark the page and then chose anonymous if you want to comment...and type in your sig. Let me know if you're still having problems with it...I'm a computer ditz, so this has been a whole new adventure for me!

1/13/10 The Economy Crashed My Party

BG, my 23 yr. old daughter, (also, double major degrees) has a job that will be coming to a end in 1 yr. I keep telling her to apply now for future employment, don't wait until you don't have a job to try and find one........she thinks she will walk into the perfect situation. Its frustrating. I do wish your daughter good luck, it certainly a tough time to find a job, but not impossible. I am keeping positive thoughts your way... -
Congratulations!!! BG, don't be normal, I like you just the way you are. I always say that I am grateful for going to Catholic school as a kid, because it gave me my sick sense of humor. Sometimes being a little abnormal is fun.

I also knew I was fat, but like you, I didn't think I was as fat as I was. Maybe its a a coping mechanism you do so you don't loath yourself anymore than you already do? At least for me, I think so. -

12/10/09 What a Difference a Year+ Makes

wow, you have come a long way. BG, what I find interesting is that I am too still on my BP meds, I am on a beta blocker and an ace inhibitor. Even tough my BP has come down with the weight loss, I still am on it. You have lost twice the amount of weight then me. I am just at the 30 lb. mark. (160lb. 20 more to go) -
BG, The first time I started Effexor I lost a lot of weight, (25 lbs) without trying. I just wasn't interested in food. That was years ago when it first came out.Then for whatever reasons I went off it. Then I went back on it and have had good results. I didn't loose a lot of weight because they change the med. to time release. It delivers the medicine slower and longer. I also had a full hysterectomy in 2006. I take perarin 0.45 mg. Its second to the lowest dose according to my dr. The lowest dose I was still having the unbearable hot flashes. I went on this dose and zero hot flashes. I am grateful not to have them. I would love to on on the Bio-iden. but for the same reason, I hear they can be quit costly. I haven't ruled them out, I just am so content with the dose of Premarin I don't want to mess with anything..... One last comment BG, one word of warning I know from Effexor is when the time comes when you want to go off of them, they have a not so fun withdrawal, "serotonin syndrome zap" thats what I call it.....its describes as brain zaps, feels like vertigo. But it does pass. You just taper off slowly. Anyway, its been a good medicine for me. Take care.
