A massage chair sounds great, but I’d much rather just float around like a buoy. Honestly, I think we could all use some kind of zero-gravity chamber 😂😂😂😂: lol: I still dream about being able to sleep on my stomach again hahaha
I honestly dread getting blood drawn. It’s mostly because I can’t just lie down whenever I want. At one private clinic I visited, they explained that it has something to do with my blood pressure fluctuations. Basically, I’m totally fine if I’m lying down during the draw, but if I have to sit up, it’s a struggle. I have some tests coming up this week, but I’m staying calm about it. If you just mention this little quirk to the staff at your local health center before they start, they’ll usually just let you lie down without making a big deal out of it or giving you those weird looks. It actually makes me feel a lot better knowing I’m not the only one. I always used to wonder if I was just being a coward or something, since it happens every single time.😕
You should definitely try to get some Naprosyn... I think they’ve phased them out here in the States, though you might find Nalgesin Forte instead. My pains aren't nearly as bad now—I had my baby eight years ago—but back then, things were rough. Constant dizzy spells and endless trips to the ER. For me, Naprosyn and Nalgesin worked wonders, and unlike those Voltaren products, they didn't mess with my stomach at all. Honestly, Naprosyn was such a lifesaver that I used to mail them to my girls in London; they were basically the only thing keeping them on their feet.
It was my mom, unfortunately. She went through a C-section with me about 34 years ago, and the doctors actually didn't believe her at first. It wasn't until she recounted the conversations they had in the OR—stuff like how one doctor was talking to a nurse—that they finally took her seriously. She felt the pain, though, whenever she was conscious enough to process it; given how intense those pains are, the doctors told her she was a bit of a medical anomaly. Looking at the tech you're hooked up to now, it seems a little strange to me that her heart rate would have stayed within the normal range.
I really hope this Weight Watchers program is more effective than the treatment I went through at the Mayo Clinic four years ago. Back then, it basically just boiled down to a strict 1,200-calorie diabetic diet and constantly popping Xenical and Reductil... I only had three check-ups the entire year, and that was it. If they actually provide full follow-up, monitoring, and real support, then I truly believe you’ll see better results than I did! Best of luck!
