Jumped on the scale last week and I was down to 174 lbs. Might have been partly the fact that I was sick, but I'll take it!! lol

Well Done
Keep up the good work, I have been trying to do the same thing, I only lost 16 lbs in about 2 1-2 months, I use to be able to do that in 2 weeks, it gets harder the older you get, I still have about 20 - 30 lbs to go. I found that the most important thing was excersise. Keep going, Joanne

Close Stroke
I am the wife of a stroke victim, and I am tyring to deal with it as well as help my husband deal with it. He had a brain-stem stroke and is very lucky to be alive. We just got married in Feb this year, so it's been challenging. I hope to learn from others how to help him as well as the family and friends we have.

Treatments
- Patience Working / Worked
Open Arteriosclerosis
My husband is currently 46, fighting his Arterioclerosis in his Carotid arteries in the back of his head. They don't know why it started but I am finding out why fast! Trying to prolong his life, because he's already had one stroke, and they don't expect to be able to do anything but a bypass or maybe move some arteries to feed his brain. He's got short term memory loss, balance issues, right side weakness and much more. For now I am just looking to find all the information I can find to help!
Treatments
- Aggrenox Not Working
- Gave severe headaches, had to switch to Warfarin
- Angioplasty Working / Worked
- Didn't work, total blockage they were too late.
- Plavix Working / Worked
- Didn't use long enough to know.
- Coumadin Working / Worked
- Good until he fell and injured his pancreas which created a hematoma really close to his spleen. Hes recovering right now from that as we speak. Hes been in a hospital since Dec 10th then on Dec 21 st he went into shock and they moved him to Duke University!
Open Polio
I contracted Polio when I was a baby. I have walked on crutches my whole life, and had surgeries when I was young. It effected my legs and waist, sometimes I notice my immune isn't the best either. For the Most part, I accepted it and am glad it happened to me. Otherwise I wouldn't be who I am today without the challenges it gave me.
Open Prostate Cancer
My father has Prostrate Cancer, they are doing surgery next month on the 5th of Feb. I am here to read and learn to see what is expected.
Treatments
- Radiotherapy Too Soon to Tell
Open Aphasia
My husband suffers from a stroke and at times can't speak or process his thoughts into words. I am joining to help others and ourselves.
Open Diabetes Type 2
My mother suffers from Type II, and looking in here to read or learn information. Mostly to educate myself and understand the disease.
Open Military Families
My cousin is in Iraq! I am sure it's not easy for him or his Mom. They just recently lost his Dad to health issues, so I am here to give support! I love those guys that go out and fight for us, and defend our country! As I am not able and never have been! So I thank All of you for your dedication to our country's FREEDOM!
Open High Blood Pressure
I have a family history of High Blood Pressure and trying to loose some weight to help!

- This helps me sooth myself and at times I need it more than I realize. It works great though if I listen to something that has a good beat! ;))
- Patience Working / Worked
- Works most of the time and to realize that allowing myself to feel what's bothering me and letting go. This too shall pass!
