Is anyone else experiencing slow page-load times?
Comments (6)Well, I'm not surprised that it's a bit slow on my home computer (older, hand me down computers, as it were). But today it was noticeably slow on my office computer which is fast & state of the art. I actually gave up trying to click into C&S something at the end of the business day, it never finished & I gave up. I don't recalll having had that happen before ... hum ... gremlins? I guess they're still working on the system, or maybe their servers. I DO see the caution/disclaimer about they're working on stuff IS back up again. Hrmphhhhhhhh (today's version of Grrrrrrrrrr)...See Morehow long do you have hot flashes and night sweats
Comments (68)I also am very happy to find websites like this. Never had a problem until 64 and doctor thought I needed some estrogen for "dryness" issues. I was on Estriol compounded as it is not sold in U.S. but is in other countries. 2 1/2 months had to stop using as it made me ill. I realized later it was ordered too strong . My Gyn was also an Ob and specialized in adolescent pregnancy. What was I thinking !! Started very disturbing symptoms about 2 months after the end of Estriol. Profuse sweating, followed by chills, rapid increase in heart rate (over 130), dizziness and nausea in the middle of the night, night after night. I was so exhausted I ended up passing out and in the hospital. First Cardiologist, then Endocrinologist and finally going next week to GYN specialist. Of course went through the "you must be having anxiety" talk. Did I mention I am a retired Major in the Army Nurse Corps and psychiatric trained Reg. Nurse. I only mention this as I was almost starting to believe them. Thank GOD, and I mean this, I started to do my own research. Hot Flashes and Night Sweats with severe vasomotor reaction, very common. Well I say with all my heart thank you ladies for sharing on sites like these. It has been 81/2 months and they are definitely less. I am using magnesium, Vit. E, watching sugar intake, doing deep breathing , trying to control stress and thinking about Remifemin. Good luck to everyone ....See MoreHave you experienced a dog being attuned to another's illness?
Comments (18)Aww, sorry for the loss of your pet. Years ago DH and I were invited to a dinner party of a new friend. The host's dog kept sniffing me, but ignoring the other guests. The second I sat down on a sofa, she began nuzzling me non stop, which everyone noticed. The owner saw what was going on and came over, to extricate the dog from me. I volunteered that I'm a dog lover and wasn't bothered at all. She smiled and whispered "But you might want her to leave. She's very sensitive to pregnant women and thinks she's protecting them, so she'll block anyone from sitting beside a mom-to-be, all night. She's done this twice before." Well I was 3 months pregnant, not showing at all, but didn't care if my pregnancy was known. So I told the host so, and said "Let's see what she does." Sure enough, the dog would let neither DH, nor anyone else near me, so she was escorted to another room, for the evening. When several guests commented on her strange partiality to me, the host explained, and it was an unexpected and fun way to share our news! P.S. my own (also female) dog was totally oblivious and seemed shocked when we brought our new baby home, lol....See MoreHave any of you experienced a low pulse rate?
Comments (39)Thanks all for your tips and advice and questions to ask the Doctor. I probably won't be seeing the Internist for a few weeks as she still has yet to set up her practice here. Sleeper, I was sedentary because of my back pain. I thought it would heal like it did before after taking care of someone and lifting then, etc. I didn't know this time the pain was caused by a fracture and then after talking to the Drs in the ER I remember feeling a severe pain when helping to get off the floor. She had tripped on her oxygen cord. After a CT scan and many ultrasounds they determined I did not have an blood clots. When I first went into the hospital my blood pressure was normal as was my heart rate but then the next day my blood pressure elevated and that was when they gave me just a tiny shard of a blood pressure pill and my heart rate plummeted. They knew it was the wrong drug and said it would take awhile for it to get out of my system. After so many tests they still didn't know what was causing the inflammation in my body nor the edema. I put the edema to lack of movement on my part. Over the next 24 hours they collected my urine and had to keep it chilled for specific tests. They wanted to test for Cushing's but then when I asked if that was what I had they didn't give me an answer. The test showed my body produced too much steroids and cortisol and something else and they were concerned with that. Hopefully the Internist will figure it out. Gmatx, I have always watched my sodium intake. I cook most of what I eat, I like to add spices, peppers and herbs to my food over salt. I do use a little salt if I boil potatoes and if I eat a sliced tomato so it is not a salt shaker problem for me. I maybe eat cheese once a week and maybe a bag Cheetos Crunchy every month or so, Until my brother moved in I had the same box of salt for 10 years. For over a year or more I haven't bought frozen premade foods. We have been treating ourselves to pizza or fast food at the end of the month but not every month. I do eat packaged cookies but they aren't very high in sodium, I drink no sodium or sweetened fizzy Buble instead of pop. I never checked how much sodium was in bread though and I would eat a non deli meat sandwich everyday. I do use salted butter but not in great amounts. I will just have to chart the amount of sodium in the foods I eat now. They never did tell me how much sodium I can have on a low sodium diet and I looked online and the amounts still seemed pretty high for me. The Drs also said my kidneys were okay as well as my thyroid. I had been concerned about my kidneys because I was retaining too much fluid. I was surprised I didn't have Diabetes but then I didn't have any of the symptoms. Even my cholesterol was good. I walked down to the nearest corner last night with my rollator, just a few houses down further than my brother wanted to and then I went out for a ride today. My clothes are fitting less tight because I have lost fluid retention, my legs are getting better, and I can breath so much better, like a weight has been lifted off my chest. My back was sore this morning and I know that was from the walking last night. It is going to start raining for the next few days so I will walk up and down my hallway. I have been doing leg exercises the physio therapist wanted me to do and the marching in place. Instead of eating one meal a day and a snack I have been eating 3 meals a day now. I adjusted my sleep pattern so I wake at 8:30 and go to bed before 1 am. Before I only went to sleep when I was tired and sometimes would stay up for more than 24 hours. I have to see an Gynecologist in April because they couldn't see my uterus fully during the ultrasound. Again thanks for the advice and well wishes. I am going to keep on top of my health now. I already have a new family doctor that will take me once I see the Internist and all my records were sent to the family doctor I still have and I can go see him if something arises in the meantime. I lost both my sisters to cancer, my Mom to pancreatic cancer. I have waiting a long time to be able to collect my Canada Old Age Pension and the Supplement and I am not giving up on getting that money now haha that I am so close to getting it....See Moredeegw
