There's a lot going on this month. With things opening up, life's beginning again. Two of my nieces are graduating, so there will be parties, I have tickets to two baseball games, my aunt's memorial service is coming up, & my 60th birthday lands on the 25th. While it's nice to be back living again, those occasions also provide many opportunities to eat. I was kind of pissed that I gained 1.2 pounds at Weight Watchers this past week, but there's the potential to gain a lot more than that if I'm not careful this month.

I had an appointment with the neurologist yeaterday to try to find an explanation for the neuropathy I've been experiencing the past few years. While they will run more blood tests, his best guess is that it's been caused by taking so many psych meds for so many years...apparently lithium is a prime suspect, since I was on it for 10 years. Age is another factor...& there's not much I can do to slow that one down!

Anyways, I hope everyone has a great day.
Ahhh I hope your able to get more sleep

Happy early Birthday

I have my annual physical the 10th and I'm not looking forward to it Since being diagnosed Diabetic Type II I have to really watch what I eat but my weight loss has stalled. Why is it so easy to gain weight but losing it takes twice as long??? Thats just stupid !! Im sure you will drop it right off again..

Ahhhh the Lithium and Neuropathy connection.. Yep its a real thing. I hope you can find some relief and answers.

Hope your sleeping its midnight in my world LOL

Take care
