Just venting

[Guest guest]

i have had the leg thing since i was a kid. i take micro-k (prescription

potassium,

much stronger than say, eating a banana). that seems to calm my legs down

enough to sleep. sometimes there is just not enough potassium in the world.

Maybe you have a secondary condition...restless legs syndrome? They have meds

for that now.

Something worth asking the doc about.

Hope that you get the help you need.

I inherited that from my father, and I have found that Gingko Biloba helps me

tremendously. Min occurs when I am exceptionally tired. It hits me usually

when I am going to retire for the night.

Thanks Kathy,

I appreciate the kind words from everyone in the

group. Kathy, don't let what other people say bother

you too much. No one knows what we all go through;

even after the surgery. My ex-wife told me after the

surgery that she was expecting more from me.

Hahahahahahahahaha! Hopefully they will never

experience anything that is so incapacitating as

severe back problems.

migraine will finally go away after this.i am glad that the holidays are over since they are extremely stressful for me. my mother-in-law was at our house for thanksgiving and christmas. she brings her 80-something year old lady friend with her who is always nice to have around. but the m-in-law is a problem. please don't get me wrong, i am not the type of wife who dictates what my husband can and cannot do but his mother is a problem when she visits. i would do anything i could for her except let her live with us, which my husband agrees on. my parents are part of the problem and i do not know what else to do about things. my father is difficult on the best of days but the holidays make him even worse since he gets depressed and we never know how bad it will get. my father's moods are nothing new to me and after 13 years of marriage, my husband has a very good understanding of things.but since

we bought my parents house last january, things have been more difficult with the m-in-law coming over. before, my parents could leave whenever they wanted to since they lived 6 miles from us. now that they are across the backporch, there really isn't anywhere to hide unless you go out in the woods, if the weather is decent.at thanksgiving, my m-in-law thanked my father for attending dinner which set him off since he feels that she is trying to take over now that we own the house. i understand what he is saying since it used to be his house and his table but he has to get over these things. we have a very liberal set up where we share everything so there isn't any friction here but she rubs him the wrong way.another thing that annoys my parents is that she over stays her welcome which makes things worse for me since they ask me when is she leaving. i am not going to come right out and ask her that since

that is rude. but i am in the middle no matter what.christmas was about the same except that my father kept saying that he was eating at his place instead of with the rest of us but finally decided to eat with us. i tried to place my m-in-law across from my mother so that way my father didn't have to sit across from her, which also annoys him. but of course she got her own way and sat across from him. i spent dinner between them, waiting for something to go flying over my plate. thankfully, no one threw anything at the other. my real problem right now is that i am tired of being in the middle. i am in the middle between my parents and my m-in-law, my parents and my husband, my parents and the world, etc. i find it very hard to always be in the middle. i have to hear about what the other did or did not do, who isn't feeling well, who needs this or that. i have my own health issues and am concerned that

i will land up institutionalized if this continues. i have a lot of stress at work and then have to come home to this petty garbage every night. there are nights when i have to remind myself to come home since the rabbit will be worried if i don't come home. the rabbit is the only reason that i do come home sometimes.no one listens to what i say or they argue with me (my mother will even argue over the weather forecast with me). no one does what i ask them to do or what they say they will do. i am responsible for everything and everybody. i have no where to go to get away from it. i don't remember what it is like to relax and enjoy something. i don't remember what it is like to have hobbies. i don't remember what it is like to want to come home or go to work. i don't remember what it is like to have a life of my own.buying their house was supposed to make life easier. sure, it is easier now that i don't

have to houses and 2 yards to take care, now that i don't have to driveways to shovel after every storm. i want to have a life before it is too late but how? thanks for letting me vent. it helps a lot.michelle

Hey Walt,

I bet your wife would much rather have you than Hawaii. Bring her an

orchid or a coconut shell with a margarita in it. Tell her how you

wish you could give her the real thing and I bet she will tell you

that YOU are the real thing! And HANG IN THERE!!

Sandi

[Guest guest]

Hi Walt,

Is there a way to send your lovely bride to Hawaii without you? I know

that meds can eat up one's retirement funds; but if you can afford it,

perhaps she has a friend or a daughter she would like to go with. It's

just a thought.

I'd have no trouble sending my wife on any trip she would like to take

and we could afford. She has been nothing but a darlin' to put up with

a lifetime of me - and without a complaint, ever!

I am so tired of catching every little bug that my kids bring home. I wipe the

place down with lysol, but I still catch things like strep! Yesterday I couldn't

go to work because my babysitter and her son had strep. Today, I caught it.

Before this, it was the stomach flu. Before that, a sinus infection that would

not go away. My co worker is like " You're always sick! "

I feel like I should give up what I love doing and just live in a bubble. I'm so

down about this. I take suppliments. I excercise. I eat healthy, mostly

vegitarian. (Right now I'm being bad and eating a burger because I'm

stress-eating!!) How in the world are we suppose to stay well on
