Day Two Hundred Seven

Calories: 1076

Very low calorie day without much pain & sorrow. Makes up for the day before.

After the gym workout this morning, I stopped at PetSmart and got cat food and fish food. I used $8.50 worth of coupons, and total spent was $21.

I've not taken the statin for two days now, and I can feel the difference already. I still have pain if I squeeze my thighs, but there is none of the buzzy, throbbing pain that was there even when I was just lying down. I am very hopeful that I have found my solution. However, I know that I am one of those people with inherited cholesterol problems, so I am sure that labs will show high cholesterol and a need to find another statin. My doctor says there are others out there that won't do this to me.

Diet and exercise does not help my cholesterol problem. I've been down that road already.

I started taking the Pepcid prescription yesterday. I don't have acid reflux more than a couple times a week, but it's uncomfortable when it happens. I haven't been able to tie it with any dietary habits. I'm pretty sure I won't have any symptoms at all while taking Pepcid.

Now I need to start scheduling appointments -- labs, podiatrist, physical therapist. Sigh. Plus my doctor wants to see me again in 3-4 months.

The museum is still leaving me hanging, so I'm just going to proceed as if I haven't been asked to work. I can't just put my life on hold while they get their act together. (I think I've said this before!)

    I'm glad you're feeling better. I hope you're able to find a statin that works without causing issues.

    Glad you are feeling better. I also have inherited cholesterol problems and am on a statin that raised my blood sugar. Before taking it, my sugar count was normal and a little below. Now I'm in the prediabetic stage. But, since there is a history of strokes in my family, I guess watching my sugar and carb intake is better than having a stroke.
