(no subject)

So I think that P might have fibromyalgia. My sister has it and because of all of her health issues, I'm begining to think she has is. She has the following issues and some more lately:

Really bad joint pain
excessive sleeping (think 12 hours a day)
sleep apnea
restless legs
IBS
jaw pain
migraines
brain fog
depression
weight gain
anxiety
ADHD

I'd normally ask my sister what the next step on dealing with this but she is in Uganda for the next few weeks. Anyone know how you would handle this? I understand it can take up to 10 years and 10 different doctors to finally get a diagnosis, What would you do? Do you know any good doctors in Minnesota? She has been going to a chiropractor (applied kinesiology) and is scheduled to check out an accupuncturist this week. I think we should also look at it from a traditional medical point of view. 

She's concerned that I'm going to get tired of her medical issues and leave her. She claims (I know it's her fears talking and is really not reality) that all her other gf's left her because of this).

Any one know any good doctors or what type we should see?

THANKS in advance!

Speaking of health

I've decided that I need to get back on the bandwagon and work on my weight. I don't want to do some drastic huge change of health thing but I found sparkpeople.com and that seemed pretty good so I thought I'd try it. If you're interested, check it out.

vacation update

Teh boy is not going. He's decided that he doesn't want to feel like a third wheel. This is a little frusturating to us because we went out of way to accomodate him. I think he really wanted someone his age to have along and we told him he could take a friend but he never pursued that either. (he told me he was afraid that he wouldn't get along with whoever he invited after two weeks). 

He's going to stay with his Dad for a week and then he's going to have to figure out where he's going to go for the next week.

On one hand, it's very frusturating for me to try and figure out all that stuff and I told him that once he makes this decision, there's no changing his mind. I'm surprised that he doesn't want to go.

On the other hand.....

P and I are going on a two week trip alone. We won't have to accomodate the boy and now we can do all adult things and not have to consider the boy. We can drive long stretches at a time (the boy didn't like long driving). We don't have to worry so much about scheduled meals (the boy did) and etc.

P's now talking that we should check out the Boston area too! Where would you go towards the eastern side of the states if you could? What would you see?

My biggest frusturation would be on the last minute the boy would have to come and all our plans would be shot.

Today I'm a posting fool!

Your Score: Liberal

You scored 42 Equality, 71 Liberty, and 35 Stability!

You think liberty is important both for yourself and for all of humanity. You respect others and think it is important that everyone be given the opportunity to make decisions for themselves rather than have authority figures tell them what is best. The autonomy of every person is important to you but you think there are times in which personal action needs to be limited. As such you recognise that there is a role for government as long as it depends on the consent of the governed – this makes parliamentary democracy important to you. You prefer the role of government in economics and society to be small. In practice you will tolerate public sector activity as long as it is efficient and allows you to get on with your life. You are likely to advocate for both a predominantly free-market economy and a cosmopolitan and permissive culture. For information on liberal political parties worldwide see here (but note that this international also includes Progressive and Moderate and Establishmentarian parties). If this is too bland for you then try the Libertarian on for size.
