What's On your Mind! ~ Random Conversations about Anything...

At one time the doctors had me on Plavix and a full dose of aspirin. Your blood never clots. It's as thin as water. I cut the tip of my finger on a belt sander at work. I bandaged it up pretty tight at work and when I took it off to clean it when I got home, it started bleeding again as if it just happened. It took 4 days to get it to stop. The slightest scratch would bleed for hours. I finally took myself off the aspirin.

You obviously did not need BOTH!! Yikes...

 

[DicipleofJesus]

Exactly my definition. But due to a certain set of circumstances. Won't go in detail here.

It's like a really bad hangover...

And what is a really bad hangover? I,m epileptic since birth so I never touched the hard stuff.

It's like having a really bad headache while someone repeatedly beats you over the head with a really firm pillow.

Count yourself lucky for never having experienced that feeling.

I agree. First time I have been given ssuch a pai nful pi tire of a hangover. And that people will DRI k knowing they'll have another and another sounds like they are running away from something painful.

I believe most people drink out of boredom.

I'll bite! what is brain fog?

well, it is the symptom that most closely matched ByGrace's complaint, and it is a common enough one that google auto-completes for it when you type in "coconut oil for." It's amyloid plaques, pre-Alzheimer's, dietary deficiencies, symptoms of toxicity, all of those. It's reaping what you sow, too, i guess.

 

[bbyrd009]

No, I used to at first...but once I started heart problems aspirin was not enough.
I get my blood checked every two weeks ...and it is plenty thin...

and your bp still isn't right, right? i have a client right now weaning off of coumadin, what a mess. Bp was still 150/, until about a week ago.

ya, so you get turned into a virtual hemophiliac who still has a "bad" bp and still does not metabolize cholesterol correctly

Hi there
Actually now whatever was happening last week is over...my BP has returned back to 125/60 with heart rate of 57
Which it has been for the last three years since the specialist put me on spironolactone. It works. That was one reason I was amazed and worried last week when for no seeming reason it shot up suddenly to 184/80.
But, I am praying that this week is going to be a good week....who knows, maybe last weeks episode was a 48 hour virus or something.
My son-in-law who is a doctor, keeps nagging me to get a flu shot...I must admit I hate the idea of all the mercery and junk in my body on top of the things that I actually 'have' to take. Let alone the risk of side effects...

My husband 'flapped his mouth off' and told my son in law that we took the homeopathic beads and not the shots....now he is cross with us for not having the shot.

 

[bbyrd009]

now he is cross with us for not having the shot.

ha, ya...you can't really mix the two disciplines, you have to go with one or the other

I'm always up at 3:34 am.

I'm never tired either...

[Helen]

what a shame that 3.34am is not the same 3.34am in every time zone...then we could all Skype or FaceTime and have an online party!

Well, "what is on my mind"...I am wondering whether to stay on the Site or not.
I've found myself arguing with the member Questions..because of some of the things he is saying. I do not like the 'me' that keeps on arguing.
Maybe I should step out of here for a while and read something positive about our Faith and joy in the Lord. There's not much joy here right now...just negativity.
So...there you are...'that' is what I am musing upon right now.

You've gone through this or similar occurrences previously. Most places you go you are likely to be hit with the same or worse. The good side is that there are others here you can communicate with in spite of differences. God is still working on all of us who continue to allow it.

If you need a break to clear your head from it a bit then do it, but we need you here to serve as a 'smoother outer' of some of our rough edges. If you must leave, then do it, but please, please, return for God uses all of us to do His work. None of us here has more than an "as through a glass darkly" view, but together it is more complete, I believe, than it would be alone. We may not yet be the Body of Christ, but there will be one and we are all hopefully candidates.

May God always richly bless you as you walk with Him!

ya, forums are better perceived as crucibles, rather than congregations imo. But this leads me to some unusual positions, i guess; personally, i would have no problem entertaining what might be perceived as my worst enemy here, Stranger or BreadofLife or whoever, but i guess this is not reciprocated.

There is a lesson here, i guess, if all of those who think of you with joy here are not really counted as making this worthwhile; which i'm sure are several. Not sure what the lesson even is, even though i see it plainly. Something about being contented, maybe?

Also, i note that we still seek to learn new things, imagining that this learning will be like some painless discovery session, when truth can be pretty harsh, and learning important truths just comes with some pain, usually.
