Are the needles for the lovenox that big compared to the insulin? Because if they are, definitely warrants me to more whining!! jk haha Yeah when I tried to give myself the shot this morning, I didn't go fast enough so the needle got stuck on the outside cuz it couldn't penetrate through...ouch! So I had to retry while also playing a mind game with myself!! haha Man you must have been in so much pain with all that stuff going on with the C-section, needles, and all! Definitely not a wimp in my book! Oh and I just remember how the nurse that taught me how to inject the lovenox gave me some practice needles to practice on unsuspecting fruit! Every time I think of that, I can imagine just creeping up behind a fruit on the counter with needle in hand. haha Hope you're having a fabulous day!! *high five*

Hi Kristy, I am looking forward to out whining you. PEs should stand for Paranoid Eejit - well that's me - what about Paranoid Elephant - that's me too - have you got any kinder ones - Paranoid Ecentric. Seriously every pain is a clot to me - I am now just telling all pains to F*** off, because I am sick of them. Just think of these shots as a bonus - who knows - everyone might eventyually be recommended to have them when preggers in the future, but I bet by that time it will come in pill form!!!!! Love Dawn x x

Thanks for the encouraging words on the lovenox post! Whenever I mention it to my friends or family they're response is either shock or they say that I get to feel how a diabetic lives. Somewhat discouraging to hear that when I have never gave myself a shot because it's not like I know what it is like and yet they react as if it's not a big deal. I guess they just don't understand it until they have to face it themselves. *sigh* But thank you for your kind words, you really help lift my spirits. How is your recovery is going? I hope it's going well!! I hope you are having a great day. =)

Close Pulmonary Embolism
Had a PE at 30 years old 24 hours after giving birth to my daughter by C-section.
Treatments
Close Obesity
As a result of emotional stress, which triggered depression and compulsive overeating, I put on about 130 lbs over about 3 years. I'm now emotionally more stable and ready to SERIOUSLY work on my eating.
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Somewhat Helpful
- IF I could stay away from certain foods on a regular basis, I wouldn't be in this boat.
- Breast Feeding Working / Worked
- OMG- If I could have done this forever, I would have! Pounds MELTED off. But alas, couldn't produce enough to breastfeed for long.
- Elliptical Trainer Somewhat Helpful
- I mean...if I made it to the gym OFTEN enough to USE the thing, I'd be good...
- LA Weight Loss Not Working
- Yeah...I cancelled that contract within the 72 hours allotted by my state to cancel a contract.....too expensive!
- Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful
- I think we can all agree that excercise works IF YOU DO IT!
- Swimming Working / Worked
- Again, if you actually get up and go swimming, you could reap the rewards! It's teh getting up and doing it I have a problem with!
- Weight Watchers Working / Worked
- This works. But I didn't stick to it.
- Psychotherapy Not Working
- This did not help me one bit! And I was seen by a very wellknown Eating Disorder clinic where I live.

My daughter is one years old in October 08. Not a good sleeper!
