Is it first thing in the morning with the heart racing rod? It's something I mentioned to my GP weeks ago, middle of the night racing heart when waking suddenly and not dropping off again, just had bloods done to check hormones and thyroid- both "no further action" on results, but it's still happening! Seems it will be marked down as anxiety now, but I don't feel anxious!

Hi Kim

No it's not racing, I'm just conscious of it pumping. I'm pretty sure it's the coffee - I do normally drink decaf after midday, I need to get some decent decaf to put in the cafetiere as I need something to put my cream in ...
 
I never do a bedtime reading.

Hola vit90

Both! There's loads of different variations out there following on from it's 'inventor'. I thought that 2 tablespoons of both was a tad too much originally so just had 2 teaspoons. My goto is now 2 table spoos of grass fed butter and 2 tablespoons of pure coconut oil filtered coffee (caf or decaf) and then blended. You can play around with the ingredients- sweeteners, cream, eggs! But it's got to be blended. "........and enjoy.

Cheers.

It sounds revolting :) But I will try at some point but am calorie restricted at the moment.
 
It does doesn't it vit90. But give it a go when you're ready. Maybe start with 1 teaspoon of butter and coconut oil then work your way up to whatever you feel comfortable with.

Painful, hope it can be cleared wth antibot.

I could never afford them (implants) so it's partial denture and gaps for me. Few thousand apiece aren't they?

Several thousand yes. I'm hoping that I can get away with one implant and two teeth attached in a mini bridge but dentist said I may need two implants as I've two teeth missing now and I grind my teeth badly which puts too much force on just one implant. Dentures are an option and I may get away with a bridge if my top dodgy tooth needs to go too. I developed a choking anxiety with my panic disorder so didn't go for years so now reaping that effect of chronic anxiety. I think they offer finance deals so I'll just think of it like a new car payment scheme.

You make your own yoghurt? How? I know there are 'starters' but no idea how or what? I prefer goat's products, could I use goat's milk? I like it 'sour' too... Thanks JTL...

Hi No problem making it with goats' milk. It tastes much better . Just add one spoon of milk powder to the mix if you like it thick and "greek" style.
Cheers

Thanks loulou everything went really well on the day. Just been really busy getting the old place ready to handover and unpacking and sorting out the new place. Good exercise :eek:
 
Good morning. And it is with all the sunshine and an eclipse. 6.4 this morning and 5.7 before a meal. Yoo hoo.
 
JACKTHELAD said:
Well the eclipse came and went.
About as exciting as waiting for a bus.
The temperature dropped like a stone in a well and the odd thing were the crows .... never seen so many!
Went very quiet.
Now gone very cloudy.
That's it.
If it's a clear night tonight we have a super moon that might interest our photographers.

We had a lot of crows appear from nowhere as well but these were going mental! We have a small wooded area next to our bungalow and it was full of the **** things.reminded me of Alfred Hitchcock film The Birds. They all disappeared after the eclipse

Maybe I was being over sensitive . I should perhaps have said that MOST of us are here because of our lifestyles and maybe that also includes u I don't know. But like I say my health problems are of my own making and I have never inflicted them on anyone either in my work or my children .And on a final note if u think I'm a poor role model u should perhaps look at many health care workers , most one the ones I work with are either overweight as I myself am ) smoke and take very little exercise .Now I sound like i'm on a mad rant :(. Anyway I'm off now to pig out cos i'm upset ;)

Hmmm yes I think perhaps you are being a little over sensitive. Most of us on here are well aware that with a few exceptions it is our lifestyle that has got us where we are today. One of the ways we deal with it is with a bit of black humour. As a health care worker you should should know all about black humour. A lot of us on here are also in the medical profession, I have been for 25 years, and to some extent it's the long hours, no meal breaks or eating on the run, stress, and all the other factors that contribute to a poor diet that has helped us along the road to diabetes. Lets face it who hasn't had a choccy bar to stave off the hunger when you don't get a break until late afternoon? I don't think any of us would have found pasha' s remark in the least bit offensive. He was not saying you inflict your lifestyle on anyone else, he was just having some lighthearted banter with you. Nobody on here would condemn anyone else for their way of life, all they try to do is help, encourage and jolly someone along.
