I have a 2008 Mitsubishi Outlander. LOVE IT!!! The day I got it, my neighbor came running over & said OMG, did you buy a Lexus? It is roomy, rides like a dream and is really great looking. Decent gas mileage, about 23 mpg. Hav enot looked at 2013 models so I don't know if they have changed much but definitely worth…

When we do not eat a sensible diet (FOOD) we risk liver damage, screwing up our pancreas and other organs... "magic" :noway: "secret"... :huh: give me a break! :mad: Food is nutrition for our bodies, nuff said?

As you will see on this site, everybody finds a different way that their meds work for them. I keep my synthroid & a glass of water on my nightstand. I usually wake up around 4 a.m. for a "potty break" I take my synthroid then. That puts it into my "empty stomach and by the time my alarm goes off at 6 a.m. I have had it in…

Hey survvior1966!!! Haven't heard an update from you in awhile. How are you doing?

Just sent you a friend request. Keep us posted on your progress. Good luck, you are in my thoughts & prayers.

Wilmawm: I was told that as soon as you are diagnosed you are a survivor.What a positive image to have of yourself! Congrats on finishing chemo!!! I was not so lucky with side effects. 12 years ago they did not have all of the anti-nausea drugs available today. I had bad reactions to the anti nausea drugs as well as the…

I totally agree with your comment. It is not just a question of seatbelt extenders or purchasing two seats. We are talking about a long flight here, from one continent to another. I read the articles about this woman. She was not freely mobile. How was she to move through the aisles to get to the rest room? How was she to…

I can just visualize this tonight, all MFP ladies weighing their boobs! Oh yeah I guess man-boobs count too.:laugh:

I agree. One of the biggest mistakes I have made in all my years of dieting is to forbid myself to have a certain food(s) or heaven forbid cheat for a day. Depriving yourself of a food or food day sets you up for failure. I am not saying to eat, eat, eat or to eat a whole pie, just do some portion control but treat…

We really DO need each other!!! Hearing others have same complaints as me keeps me from believing I am a freak. There are days I feel so good but the days I feel so bad really outweigh them. My symptoms fluctuate all the time, sometimes fatigue, always cold, aches, brain fog...I know this is going to be a lifelong battle.…

1. What is your eye color? BROWN 2. What is youre favorite season? SPRING 3. What is your favorite Holiday? HALLOWEEN 4. Have you ever been arrested? NO 5. What are 2 things with in arms reach of you right now? WATER BOTTLE & NOTEBOOK 6. Would you rather know how you are going to die, Or know when you are going to die?…

Hello to all! My name is Rosemarie & I am from Pittsburgh PA. I will be 60 in 2 days, happy to be able to say that as I am a 12 year survivor of Breast Cancer & never thought I would see a birthday such as this. Yahoo! :smile: I am married 41 years (same guy, he is amazing) :heart: I have 2 grown kids, son 40 and daughter…

This is so me! I count constantly and I cannot explain why I do it. I don't count things I just count in my head when I have nothing to think about. I have to check (multiple times) the knobs on the stove to be sure they are off, my curling iron is unplugged, doors locked & garage door down. I have actually turned around…

I hear so many people say the eliptical is easier on knees, joints ankles...but the eliptical kills my ankles. I have no problems on the treadmill. I have the TV on next to the treadmill & pass the time watching.

I used to have a customer named Judy Collins. Her husband's name was Phil Collins. :laugh:

I wore my brown dress pants to work yesterday & half way through the day I walked by the full length mirror in the store. Damn, I thought. I must've put on my old size 14's instead of my 12's, these are baggy. Next trip to the bathroom I checked...they were the 12's & they are getting baggy!!! woo hoo. Scale is staying the…

ask your dr. about Red Yeast Rice (capsules available at drug store) and Cholestoff (also at drug store) Both of these are natural & worked for me for years. Unfortunately due to a thyroid condition, I started having difficulty swallowing & had to end up switching to Crestor (which is working great). Unfortunately, a lot…

Cold & tiredness/fatigue but over the last month I have been experiencing aching in my upper arms (both, left being the worst) Does that sound like hypo symptom? Until now I was unsure what to blame it on, but now I am wondering??? Anybody else have unexplained aches?

I was born in 1952 Graduated in 1970 at 17 Married at 18 (1971) Had my first at 19 (1972) Miscarriage at 20 (1973) had second child at 21 (1974) I think that generation had children younger I am now 60 & a young grandma of 5

Is this your M.D. or endocronologist? My M.D. kept saying that my numbers were fine. I went to see an endo...she said yes my numbers were not bad but what is normal for one person is not necessarily correct for everyone. Knowing my symptoms (freezing cold constantly and sleeping 12 hours a day & still tired) she prescribed…

Take baby steps. Set short term goals for yourself, YOU CAN DO IT. You are talking lifestyle changes here & that is not going to change overnight. Make one change at a time. YOU CAN DO IT & a lot of people are here to support you. :flowerforyou:

I,ve had dogs, cats, guinea pigs, turtles, fish but never bunnies. What is their life span? My guinea pigs have always only lived about 2-3 years. Too short, I get soooo attached.

I'm in! Hope you get this idea to the right people. Thanks!

Extremely Loud and Incredibelly Close The book was Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long and boring. Enough about the grandparents already!!! Glad they cut all of that from the movie or it'd been 500 hours long.

At age 40 it is recommended you have a baseline done. Don't wait for your dr. to bring it up. Ask him/her. In most cases you have to set it up, most dr. do not do this for you. I started having mammograms at age 35 due to how dense my breasts were. Differerent for everybody. Also, it is still important to do monthly self…

Had my first at 50. Was supposed to have another in 10 years since first one was good. Started having some severe lower abdominal pain last year. Dr. ordered another & found 3 polyps. Not sure what they would have been if I'd waited 2 years to have it done again. Now I have to repeat in 3 years. Glad to do it if it keeps…

It is a "right" to vote, it is a "civic duty" to vote and it is a "privelige" to vote.

Never heard of it since we used it in our swimming pool filter years ago. Are you sure there is a food quallity diatomaceous earth??? I've got to go google this...

Thank you for the update. Evertbody who experiences breast cancer has a different journey, no two of us are alike. Having been there, I can tell you its a long road. But the outcome...LIFE...is well worth all you have to go through. You will have good days, you will have bad days, you will have happy days, you will have…

Amen to that!
