Favorite Songs for Running?
I'm building a playlist for my 5K on 5/28. I usually stream music stations on Amazon but I want something specific and inspiring for the race. What are your favorite songs to run to?

Running at Night?
I have a gym membership, so I can run on a treadmill, but I really prefer running outdoors. What do the nighttime runners use to ensure that they can see and are visible? I live in a development with sidewalks, so I am not too worried about safety, but I'm a klutz and would like to at least be able to see where I'm…

Gallbladder?
Has anyone else had their gallbladder out? Overall I'm recovering well but I'm having bathroom issues in the morning (I have to go right away after breakfast, no matter how much fat is in the meal). I've seen some info on bile acid malabsorption that is a problem you can have even with a gallbladder, but seems to be a…

The return of shark week after a health crisis?
So in May I had gallbladder removal. About a month later I had TOM, lighter than my usual flow but there. Before that, it had been about six months, again with a much lighter flow. Before that, every 2-3 months. A couple of weeks ago, I started having really bad B pain with all of the PMS symptoms, and boom, here we are…

Modified Routine During Surgery Recovery
Hi Everyone, I had gallbladder surgery about a month ago and during follow up the surgeon told me to avoid lifting exercises until any pulling/pain was gone, which could be up to six months. She said when I do start, to do low weights and high repetitions. I'm cleared for walking and hiking. Before getting sick I hiked…

Withdrawal Blues
I'm tapering off of a migraine preventive that is messing with me now. The withdrawal has been pretty brutal and I'm not sure if I've gained a lot of weight or if my water retention is way off (the drug is nortriptyline, which can mess with ADH). The good news is that it's because the nerve ablation I had in November seems…

Predicting the Weather?
One of the things that has gotten worse as I've been passing through this stage is pain management. About five years ago, I developed chronic migraines. I lost my job and was on disability for a little while. The migraines became more manageable but changed in pattern about two years ago, and it took about a year and a…

Anyone on HRT?
I'm 47 and found out a few weeks ago that I'm post-menopausal. I guess I have to be early to everything. I generally lose weight pretty steadily as long as I am careful with what I eat and I lost a few pounds right away after getting back on MFP. Then I started on HRT, and I gained a pound and have sat there for a week and…

Vegetables - Integrating into a Busy Life?
I have never been much of a vegetable person, mostly because I find them kind of difficult to prepare on their own. I can put them in a crockpot or a soup, but I have no idea how to make just vegetables ahead for quick prep or to take to work. The "steamer" bags at the store are too big for me to eat at lunch and the few…
