Legs up helps but I don't like the feeling much, overnight and they look fine the next day.

I'm glad you've found a supportive doctor, so that even when you're getting hit with these crappy things beyond your control, at least you don't feel as though you're fighting alone. Here's hoping you can soon find a livable balance.<br /><br />And I really liked the "Equally True" posting! That's the kind of balance we all need. :-) Diane Hendershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07563115165301223420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-68323612732157001342021-05-25T09:34:42.164+10:002021-05-25T09:34:42.164+10:00Lowcarb team member: Thank you.

I am glad you have found someone to help diagnose your difficulties. I hope your new doctor can find an even better answer to your fatigue, pain, and nausea.<br /><br />Unlike you, I am not a beauty addict, but I am an honesty addict. I've been told I have brutal honesty, which is going to get me in trouble. I think that's the only way to live and be honest and true to myself. I believe you are the same, so keep us updated and we certainly won't think any less of you when you do. Trust me. I know what I'm talking about in a brutally honest way!Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-23818361239901450892021-05-23T00:24:49.210+10:002021-05-23T00:24:49.210+10:00Please read my postPlease read my postRajani Rehanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17439571117569471650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-58129287524797286122021-05-23T00:24:31.850+10:002021-05-23T00:24:31.850+10:00Beautiful blogBeautiful blogRajani Rehanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17439571117569471650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-56315677612215461012021-05-22T14:09:05.516+10:002021-05-22T14:09:05.516+10:00Magic Love Crow: Of course I understand.

I have went through a lot of negativity, power trips, manipulation, etc. in my life. I have always been the peace keeper, but I have kept a lot of what I have felt inside of me, which has caused me to do things, like over eat. I have been doing so much healing over the years. Like you EC, I am a beauty addict. Always sending love, too. <br />Please keep taking care of you!! We love you! Big Hugs!
