Well now see that was my whole problem right there! If the neuro surgeon would have been digging in my belly for that dumb pituitary I wouldn't have had to have the adrenal surgeon miss his mark when he should have been digging in my brain!

No wonder it didn't work!

I finally saw it for the first time the other night...it's really stupid and I knew immediately what it was after seeing the talk about it.

Unfortunately it's still being played.

Even if it wasn't insulting , it has to be one of the dumbest commercials I've seen anyway

Wow Thanks Again! I need to hit the health food store....Getting off the welchol and the rest of the 10 drugs would be nice! Well I guess I'm stuck with 2 of them, but that's ok I can deal with them...especially since they are the only 2 cheap ones. Everything else is highest copay!....stinks! If I'm gonna spend hundreds a month I would rather it be natural. I have a RX for phenergan which works wonders on me but I just don't want to take it everyday, and as long as I don't eat anything besides oranges or a can of green beans or smoothies I feel pretty good. I love my smoothies so that protien powder sounds good. My mom uses Shaklee and I used to use their protien powder...hadn't thought of it now though. My smoothies are juice and frozen fruit because milk products make me sick again now.I cut my cortef down again to 10/5 but it's not that because I felt like this since April I think it has something to do with this stupid liver. I see the doc in a week for it so maybe it will get fixed. WITHOUT MORE DRUGS!!!

At least cutting the Cortef has I think helped me start loosing weight. Just how low can you go? The aches and pains are starting to get pretty bad so I think I'll stay here for awhile but I can deal with everything else. Just not used to freezing all the time now. I even bought socks!!! I got a fleece jacket for christmas and I wear it!!! <_>

Thanks Jeanne!!! I didn't realize that but will definately try them. I haven't eaten much lately and definately not much more than a couple of bite of "regular food" because it never fails to make me so sick to my stomach. Think I'll try a little oatmeal a few bites at a time, since the sound of fish makes my stomach turn right now. Ask me again in a few weeks and it will probably be a favorite. <_>

Thanks Mary

I just had my cholesterol checked for the first time that I know of and they didn't give me any number except the LDL was 107 and she said it should be under 100 but for me, with the Diabetes, she said it was supposed to be under 70. Of course with the high blood pressure I figured that wasn't good, but I didn't understand any of it before. I still don't know what I can do beside keep loosing weight because my diet certainly isn't high fat. Last time I checked oranges, green beans and asparagus aren't high in fat! <_>

I just remembered she did tell me to keep taking the Welchol that another doc put me on for Diahrrea of all things. Maybe that will lower it since I take 4 of them a day!
