digging deeper through denial

Friday, February 27th 2009

As the group of ladies went around the room and answered the questioned, " how do you handle pain and disappointment," I realized how similar we were in our response to pain and yet how different. Yes, we all did different things, but the pattern was the same. We all first went to our addictions to handle pain if we were from addictive personalities, eating, smoking, drinking,drugs, bad behavior, anger, etc. Then we expressed some kind of emotion to that behavior and third would eithe...

Once in a while I fight depression and my food habits begin to take on a tail spin. I noticed I was eating mindlessly and caught myself just staring into the pantry.

One shot didn't disturb my system too bad, but two shots have. I also have experienced that, I can't get enough food in me to feel full sensation this week ans feeling hungry two hours after I ate. These are all related to the cortisone and insulin resistance that comes when my blood sugar gets off. At first I thought I was just hungr...

short note

Tuesday, February 17th 2009

Today I took it easy. I had steroid shots instead of nerve burns in my hip and thorasic areas yesterday and will have to go back Monday to finish the treatment. I can already tell that my hip is responding to the treatment which indicates that it is involved in the whole right side hip, Si joint, knee, heel nerve problem. It is my shorter leg and the side where the disc are the worse. It is like a domino effect. One thing goes and the rest have followed. Even my right shoulder is my worse. The ...
