  • I have had numbness before. just relax if you can. i have found the more i stress about it the worse it gets then the more i stress about it, and so on and so forth. I would just recommend seeing your dr on the 8th. if it gets worse or changes by all means go to the ER (if insurance allows) and force an earlier visit with…

  • no such thing as a stupid question. I might be wrong but i thought a new relapse was defined by "having systems that last more then 2 days, and don't change". if i were you, i would just call the neuro, and find out for sure. good luck.

  • Jumping rope was so much fun in elementary school. Then I went and had 4 babies and turned forty. I can't jump rope with an actual rope. I always (tmi alert) pee a little. BUT I can pretend jump rope but don't get me giggling. :wink: :ohwell:
  • I am 41 y/o mother of 4. first delivery was a C section, i mention that because i have no tummy muscles. I started my weight loss journey at 222. I currently weigh 147 (as of this morning) I find that I am able to "easily" maintain 150. If i want to work at it I can get to 145. I was actually thinking the other day if my…

  • I just today came across this great popcorn debate. I don't know why the NI has to be so difficult to understand. I did notice on the popcorn I eat there is teeny tiny print with a teeny tiny * next to it that reads *amount in unpopped popcorn. As popped 1 cup provides 0.5g fat, 0g satureated fat, 0g trans fat, 48mg…

  • Well, I too have done weight watchers, I started with the at work program and the old points plan (momentum). Was very successful lost almost 75 lbs.
