Starting new job tomorrow, not one I wanted but husband's been looking for one since February so this family can't handle 2 bums anymore:) house swap actually sounds great! We could start that on this forum actually! Where friends go to each others' homes on vacations getting to know places all over the world... I think I might be onto something here..,


and tort sitting is taken care of :). we are actually only a 5min drive (if that!) from GLA. not sure how jade would feel though:/

Uhmmmm.., home health- visiting RN, meaning driving luke crazy woman with a company tablet and documentin up a storm to prove that everyone in the company complies with all the rules, talking to patient/family for 10-15 min and putting it all in the system for another 1.5-2 hrs... Not really looking forward to it but... It's a job! Some money coming in! It's scary not having any

Good morning.
I just read the medicine label. It's called Diltiazem ER. I read up on it and it's supposed to work on symptoms like mine. Too bad it doesn't.
The link also said that a lot of folks have this as a lifelong thing. I have.
So, I guess it's just going to take the right drug....
I'm leaving work tomorrow at about 9 AM if it's still no better. I'll drive myself back to the E/R. At least I'll only get whacked for Fridays pay, then have the weekend to sit in the friggin' hospital.
Tomorrow will make four days. A new record. Current BPM: 175.
I like your reasoning, wishing you luck that they find the right drug for you soon

I feel like pure crap.
I think I'll stay off the forum until my old cheerful self returns.
I have no energy and a short temper.
Please save some energy to vent your frustration out on this forum, it sounds like you have good supportive friends here and it will be nice to hear from you even if your angry:(

Hi everyone sorry I've not been around much lately work has been manic but I'm trying to catch up with you all. Glad to see most of you are well but sorry Ed isn't feeling any better.:( I missed a flying visit from Adam too I see :(
I've not been too well either this week - think I have had an allergic reation to something in the garden and both my hands are swollen and very painful, I think we must only have about one good limb between us John!! Hope your foot is better now.
I can only type for a short while and then my hands go numb and tingly. In fact most of my joints ache and I feel as if I've aged 40 years! I have been taking strong painkillers and antihistamines but I think a visit to the GP for some blood tests may be needed. That's when my BP will shoot up too with the old white coat syndrome - I hate going to the docs!!
Anyway I'll get back to reading your chat there's a few pages to get through!!:)

Good morning.
I spent a good portion of yesterday looking at and purchasing two new mattresses for our bedrooms.( I switched over to the gel "memory foam" types.)
hopefully, it will help me/us get some sleep. And stop my back from hurting.
The price of the things alone would likely keep me awake for a few nights.
When did they get so expensive? Maybe I'm just cheap.
(I guess it's been a while since I bought any bedding.)
Don't think about the cost too much.
A good night's sleep is just a case of mind over mattress!:)
