That's great. I have found that different herbal teas help me when I feel like I have a headache or when I am feeling sluggish. What are your pick-me-ups?

[brokenangel84 35]

Hot Lemon tea is my go to when I feel blah.. I also love green tea with some ginger and lemon in it. No sugar.. It give me a little pick me up. Also something I haven't done since I got big but would always down when I was smaller and down was go out horse back riding. Gosh I miss it. I can't wait to get back out there..

[tiffikitty 2]

That sounds really fun! I have only been horse back riding a few times but I would love to go again

[brokenangel84 35]

I loved it when I was smaller so I'm hoping I can get back into it. We have a friend with some horses who live just down the road from us so maybe when I lose a little more I can go visit and ride.

Are you eating okay? I'm having to force my self to eat then after eating I want to puke. I've been afraid to talk to anyone about it. I'm on soft foods and anything I've tried to eat us soft. But I still have to force it down.

I would just keep pushing through it and try to get in as much Protein as possible. In some sense you have to push yourself a little bit because it is part of the healing process but just remember not to push yourself too much. I remember when I got on soft foods I would take two bites of yogurt and be full and content for the whole day. I would just continue to try your best but don't make yourself miserable.

I know its part of the process of eating less at each meal. I guess I just didn't get that two bites and I'd be full all day.. Do you ever get a pain in your chest if you eat or drink to fast. Its happened a few times I keep forgetting to ask if anyone else has had that? (Fibro makes me brain dead some days..) I bought a few baby foods yesterday along with yogurt.

[tiffikitty 2]

Yes I have felt the chest pain if you eat/drink too fast. I still experience that, I'm not sure if it ever goes away. The pain is less intense now though so it definitely gets better with time.

[brokenangel84 35]

I believe that is something I could do with out lol. Its awful but teaches you to slow down

[tiffikitty 2]

Yup. I used to be a Water chugger and I definitely can't do that anymore

[brokenangel84 35]

I hear ya. I'm still learning how slow to go.. I feel awful right now this cold weather sucks.. Bunddled up under blankets. I think 4 lol and now a head cold. What can we take? I've drank oj today bc I don't k ow what else we can do??

[tiffikitty 2]

What are you wanting to take? I'm pretty sure you can take an alkaseltzer night time. I did, however I would still recommend asking your doctor before taking anything.

[brokenangel84 35]

I haven't taken anything yet for it other then drinking orange juice to get extra vit c in.. I was afraid to take anything. And I've sleep off and on all day when I could get comfy and missed calling the Dr office. Maybe it will be gone tomorrow fingers crossed. All this weather change kills ya. Warm one day then cold

[tiffikitty 2]

I hear ya. I hope you get to feeling better soon
