I had planned a lovely day in the garden.... but my wakeup headache got worse, progressed to a migraine. I get a lot of migraines. I am intolerant of: Grains (all) Nuts (all), and nut oils Sunflower seeds and oils - possibly pumpkin seeds and oil Chocolate Dairy, milk and all yogurts (OK with hard cheese and heavy whipping cream) I am curious to get opinions from people. Using fitday, I have figured out that my diet is pretty deficient in...

Just got a quick email from my doc - she said the sleep study showed "periodic body movements, 6 times an hour" - which to me means basically about every 10 minutes!! also said, "no sleep apnea" and "otherwise normal"...yeah - but moving every 10 minutes isn't "normal!" lol. that's not surprising at all. I would LOVE to be able to sleep withOUT moving around all...

Wow. 6 weeks. A long time And, any time you wake up, that's not good Well, I kind of wake up, but not fully awake. I am sure I'm not as rested as I could be because of it. Just hope that meds help you. Sometimes they have to be adjusted, etc. and not all meds for for everyone, you just have to find the right dose and kind I guess.

Out of this is coming some really awesome things. hubby and I are really learning to communicate. took us only ten...

The tests for thyroid will be a Free T4, Free T3 and TSH (although don't let that doctor or any other tell you that TSH is the 'Golden TEST' cuz it's not..it's a test of how the pituitary is affecting the thyroid while the FT's are the actual levels of hormones). FT4 should be about midway of it's range, FT3 should be slightly higher and TSH should definitely not be over 1. TPO AB will be something good to...

I generally get irritated over the commercials. All of them, But this year the kid in the commercial for QVC or home shopping or whatever dances on my last nerve, with "opening presents is fun, Gingerbread is fun, Presents are fun, The tree is fun, Presents are fun" Buy more gifts...Buy buy buy... Sigh. If not for the baby I wouldn't even decorate. That and my Nativity sets ( I think I have 21 now) and I really love...

Thank you. I am going to pay closer attention. I ordered the primal book and look forward to reading it. I do take niacin and fish oil . It was also suggested to me to only eat about 4 ounces a day of fruit since I do have small LDL. So I do try to keep it under control in that regard. We do cook with olive oil but I am trying to use it on my greens as of late. Is this what you mean with olive oil? So is there a ratio chart I should look at as...

I'm with you on taking new drugs/increasing doses while at home Allie. It's hard being at work and feeling...

Low triglycerides are GOOD and not a sign of anything except that you're eating properly (low sugar). With a high HDL and low triglycerides, it's probable that your LDL is the "big, fluffy" kind that's actually good for you. My endo recently tested my LDL, and that's what I have. He told me that in his experience, patients with high HDL and low trig. always have the 'good' LDL, so the number...
