I'm not that great at understanding insurances - but I'm sure that if you were in a dire need -- they would allow it.
((hugs)) I hope you feel better today.
I'm glad that you are doing the DBT and I hope that it does help you.View Thread

I would prob get myself psyched up to just do it (kind of like that first jump in the pool) and as soon as I see the T- as in literally the first moment i see them- hand it over.View Thread

My rate is always regular however just tachycardic. It's just that only now am I having other symptoms (dizziness/headaches/etc)
They wanted to put me on a beta-blocker or a calcium channel blocker - however my B/P is already on the low site (i.e. 100/60) - I will be going on Hawthorne to help control the rate (just waiting to get it from my aunt). If I had a more serious abnormality - then I would take such medication.
SVTs need to be stopped with medications/cardio-version and controlled afterwards since it can be deadly. Luckily - no SVTs/AFIB/AFlutter/VFIB/etc. Just a shortened PR (which is better than a prolonged). ((didn't want to get into it hard core in the post as some people here don't get medical jargon all the time))
They can't see me until the 22nd. I'm hoping that increasing my iodine, taking the hawthorne, and allowing myself to rest up a bit will help.
Ok - ladies -- off to bed I go - I feel like I could sleep forever.View Thread

The 1st EKG was normal (except that it was fast). They were able to catch something the 2nd time: I got dizzy, had chest tightness, and my heart rate jumped up to 130 beats per minute. It showed an abnormality. My labs are all good.
They want me to follow up with a cardiologist. I called out Saturday night. I have no choice - I HAVE to go in Monday.
I'm sure some people were thinking I was making stuff up for attention or something. I was rather mortified. It came on SO fast. I got nauseated and really hot. Then I literally couldn't see where I was walking and broke out in a sweat. My whole body was shaking. According to one of my co workers I became so pale I was almost green.
But since Thursday night my heart has been bounding. I have felt really worn out since Tuesday. I have a history of heart palpitations - but my echo was normal.
Right now I get periods where I feel pretty good and then it hits me like a wave. Thank goodness no passing out feeling since yesterday (saturday). Ugh - I need this like I need a hole in the head.View Thread

I say we all take in some helium and sing karaoke!
And who would like some Fudgie The Whale Cake with sparklers instead of candles!?View Thread

You have a wonderful gift! Your imagery is powerful.View Thread

It is not in our sorrow
But in the times
We saw the signs
That life truly does gets better
And although we sometimes get bitter
We can wash away the taste
Afterwards putting a smile on our face
All because today we find a tomorrow
We know it in the depths of our own marrow
Another day will find the horizon
And in that we our interwoven

my post got eaten thanks to my unreliable comcast wifi. (shakes angry fist)Any way - I'll do my best to sum up my post. (don't mind the #ing)
1) Way to go! I'm proud of you. That's a big accomplishment (not buying the razors)
2) I know what you mean about shutting down and waiting. It's all about control. We want to control every little thing. It soothes our anxieties.
3) I had to learn that I cannot control everything. While I want to be the one who wanted to hurt myself the worst....I had to rewire my thinking. I had to be the one who treated me the best.
4) Be proud of all the steps and accomplishments you make. You must remember that only you can control you. You have the power to make a difference in your life (for better or worse) It's hard to see that when you feel low, but I promise..you can get better. Be honest with your medical/mental health team - that's what they are there for.
5) Again, I am SO proud of you! If the calm techs don't work, if anger needs to be let out...try ripping paper and keep doing it until you cannot get the pieces any smaller. I did this once...and I was exhausted by the end because I just couldn't get every little piece.View Thread

The flowers are from where C proposed to me.
The planning..well..It's going.
I bought my dress - I will bring it home tomorrow then this time next year will bring it to be refitted (which is going to be a lot of work...they have to take the beading off and bring in the panels and put the beading back on...a job I do not envy)View Thread

HAPPY BELATED BDAY!! ((HUGS))
I hope that you are feeling better -- I just been checking up on the board and saw that you have been having it rough.View Thread
