I totally agree, Mur. I make every effort to keep all appointments 10 or later so I don't have to get moving til at least 830AM ;)

I like 8:30 myself, but you two are preaching to the choir with me.
I have been forced to start the day earlier since September (small children have a funny way of eating breakfast or leaving for school by 8 - sick and wrong) and now there has been banging and clanging of workmen by 8.
I came down the other morning and it was dark. What's up with that?
No matter what time my day had to start when I was younger, I had to have time by myself first so would set the alarm to give myself at least a half hour with coffee and the paper.
I will say though that I seem to have more energy the earlier I get up. Maye it is a good thing?

I also like 8:30 but it's been more like 9:30, 10:00 recently.
Problem is going to bed at 1 a.m.........schedule is all off again. To make matters worse I took a nap today and woke up around 5. Not good.

No can't be that :floorrollin: :floorrollin:

Dr put me on thyroid meds said I would FEEL the increase in energy. I do but not THAT big of a surge...sure enough he says thats because your level still not up enough so doubled it. If I start talking about getting up early you will know I have o.d'd on it ;)

A napper I am not. If I take a nap, I'm getting sick. So I take Echinacea :)

I hate to bring this up, since we're just young things trying to get along, but let's consider the effects of <gasp> age. We're not getting any younger.
Wouldn't blood work show if your thyroid was lax? Can you get thyroid meds just 'cause you want them? For some reason, I don't think so.
I just read that too much Vitamin A can be toxic.

I should be getting my bloodwork done soon and make an appt. with the dr.
Sugar levels were high. NO they won't give you medication for thyroid unless there is a problem.
Getting old? yes, but I've always had difficulty sleeping through the night. I started walking at a park now too far from here. I know that will help with weight loss and should help me sleep better at night.

Yep...blood test showed low thyroid. I was way overdue for physical no clue on thyroid and I think Dr (friend for years) and I both assumed what Pat said...age (and weight). Plus he always says "lets face it you and Ed have had more than your fair share of anxiety" as parents :floorrollin: :floorrollin: He never hesitates to give me prescription for what ails me. BP up a bit but again, not enough for meds.

The BIG surprise is thats all that showed up...I will know exact reading on chloresterol in 6 weeks when I see him but no concern...must be the Merlot ;)

Chrissy, have you had a blood test lately? It had been years for me.

Kate

PS: I have shared previously that I am on sleep meds, have been for some time now. Dr says no problem, no side affects.

Stop reading Pat :fryingpan: poor ol Vitamin A.

Anxiety??? Let's go there.
I cannot believe how much better I feel now than I did in early September. I was a basket case...you all know that. Stress is big. Too bad about Tom Cruise :floorrollin: :floorrollin:
You can only take what you can take and then something has to start showing the effects.
I am on meds for BP and see the Dr. twice a year - blood work at one appt. I think your numbers show a fair amount - especially if they feel they need to look at something.

So to all you of questionable mental health, that keep insisting 6 in the morning is the best time of day.... It is NOT, Okay!?! IT'S POSITIVELY OBSCENE! Anything before 7 am is obscene!


Gee, Mur, that isn't what my husband used to say... :wub: :blush:

Kate I had blood work 6 months ago. I'm on a water pill for blood pressure. Dr. wanted me to lose weight and exercise. Does that mean I have to give up the Clamdiggers and appetizers? :fryingpan: :fryingpan: :fryingpan:
Now that the weather is cooler I don't mind getting out and walking around. I don't take anything for sleeping.......a sip of Scotch sometimes at night. :whistle:

I enjoy it but alcohol inhibits my sleeping, never helps me (doesnt stop me but doesnt help me). I am not a napper either.

Heather, you are a hoot :toot:
