    Good news... I've been on antibiotics for 5 days and sinus pain and pressure is gone. I still have mouth sores but much much better :)

    Bad news...I hurt my arm a few weeks ago and then on Sunday I was pulling my grandson in a sled and now it hurts again. It actually hurts to just write this post. Then this morning while getting clothes out of the dryer I hurt my back. It wasn't a total pull out like I've had before so that's a plus. Now I'm sitting in my recliner with a heating pad and eating my yogurt.

    My husband says I need to be in one of these :D

    Thanks girls <3 My back is much better this morning, just a little bit of pain but my dang arm is still hurting. We lost power here at 8:44 this morning and the power company said it should be back on by 1:00 I hope this is true because right now it's 62 degrees in my home. Gotta love winter "NOT" :D

    Just a quick update...

    My daughter and grandchildren struck a deer with her car this morning. The kids are fine but my daughter is a little sore from the seat belt and airbag. The car will probably be totalled but thank God everyone is ok <3

    My mouth sores are all gone and my back is better but my arm is still in pain. It's not too bad in the morning but as soon as the day ends it hurts just to lift it. It's been 2 weeks already and I'm doing exercises but if it's not better in a couple weeks then I will have to go to the doctor's to get it checked out.

    I've been on antibiotics for 3 weeks and even though I'm doing strict OMAD I'm not losing any weight. I guess antibiotics can do that?!?!?! I actually gained 2 pounds and I'm now stuck at 156 pounds. Yesterday was my last day taking amoxicillin so hopefully now the weight will come off!!!

    It's my youngest sons 28th birthday today and I'm making him whoopie pies and venison steak, that is if my arm will let me :D

    Antibiotics can make you retain water because it throws off your probiotic/hormone balance - I think it'll fall off love :) Push that water!!!

    I agree, the water will help so much. However, it also makes you want to pee a lot :)

    I couldn't take the pain anymore so I went to the doctor's today and he diagnosed me with bursitis in my shoulder. My shoulder doesn't hurt but he said that with some people the pain will be in the upper arm and that is where mine is. He put me on 800 mg Ibuprofen three times a day for pain and inflammation. I was only taking 800 mg once a day so hopefully this will do the job. o:)

    Since I need to eat when I take ibuprofen I will not be doing OMAD. Instead I will be eating 2 snacks and I meal.
