Talk to your Doc

There’s nothing like home made chicken soup or a great appointment with a compassionate doc.

Had such an appointment yesterday — got the valuable intellectual input PLUS a big hug. I really needed it.

This is a reminder that we are not islands – magazines, The Fatigue Be Gone! Guide, girlfriends, family support, interviews, Internet research, health journals – these are all excellent ways to maintain our health BUT don’t forget to check in with your doc.

Have you scheduled your annual physical? If not, make that call and then … give yourself a hug, a couple pats on the back and enjoy the rest of your day!

It’s working … Magnesium

Well I finally got a hold of some Magnesium for Michael and I to try and … it is working!

Started last week taking 500 mg at night before going to bed. We’ve been sleeping the night away ever since. Other great news is that Michael is off of the Melatonin he’s been taking for the past couple weeks. I am relieved – just didn’t feel right to be getting stuck on one solution.

More good news – Also noticing that he has had fewer migraines over the past week. Another symptom of MG deficiency – besides fatigue – is headaches.

An inspirational & omnious little ditty …

Doing a little spring cleaning today – including some old “memo books” and I came across this little ditty …

Those who think they have no time for healthy eating will sooner or later
have to find time for illness.

– modified from: Edward Stanley (1826-1893), The Conduct of Life.

Well – I for one am up for more healthy eating & a gentle cleansing. Last fall Michael & I did a togetherness cleanse and we felt GREAT! in time for the holidays.

It was easy – at least to remember. Nothing white (rice/bread/sugar) * lots & lots of vegies * any kind of meat * light on the fruits and those 8 glasses of water a day.
