    Guess what! My grandchild was born today. The doctor told them several months ago it was a boy...but guess what....it's a GIRL :) Her name is Destiny and she is perfect. I posted more details in my journal. Love you!

    Thank you for your prayers :)! I have been on vacation. I think I need a vacation to get over it. Been really busy with family or doctors. My sister & brother were here from out of state for our 30th family reunion. WHAT A BLESSING! It has been hectic but worth every minute of tired & pain! I am blessed with a good, close family. How are you doing? I hope you doing well...I see you have ok on your page. I will keep you in my prayers. God bless you my Christian friend, :) xoxo Cathy

    I got a thyroid problem from taking lythium. It caused me to have an excessive thirst and hunger, and I gained 30 lbs. in a month. I stopped taking it, but then after taking in only 1000 calories a day for 2 weeks and not losing(in fact the scale was still going up!), I had my thyroid checked. The medicine messed it up. So now I still take synthroid, but a very small dose. I also noticed that Lyrica caused me to gain 7 lbs. suddenly. Unfortunately, Lyrica really worked like magic. So now I just take Lyrica when I'm in desperate pain. I've always had to watch my weight since I was 14 yrs. old. Obesity runs in my family. I was one of the lucky ones or at least I refused to be fat. My sister had that bariatric surgery done where they made her stomach the size of a pea, but she went through a lot afterwards. It's a terrible recovery.She had to do it, though, because she weighed over 250 lbs., and her health was sliding downhill. My middle sister always fights the same 15-20 lbs., too. I can't eat a lot at one time, but I eat small amounts often or I start to droop. I think I have hypoglycemia.
