My Crohn’s is finally getting a little better

June 2, 2010 by Tricia

I’m feeling awful today. My back is acting up again and so is my stomach or rather my Crohns. It seems when one thing goes wrong for me just about everything else does too.

I do have to admit that my Crohn’s has been a little better lately. I still have some very bad days, but compared to the last few years of mostly all bad days this is better. Maybe it’s finally slowing down.

I’ve been trying a few things like taking a spoonful of drinkable Aloe Vera Gel each day. It tastes awful … kind of like what I think drinking Purell might taste like. Ugh. I’ve also been taking two acidophilus probiotic tablets a day to increase the good bacteria in my intestines. I’ve had several other people with Crohn’s tell me that these two things have helped them quite a bit. So it’s worth a try. I’m also giving irvingia a go as well.

I’ve been sick and stuck at home on medical leave from my work as a nurse in one of Canada’s busiest emergency rooms for 5 years now. It’s about time I started to feel better. I’d like to get back to work if I can, but more importantly I’d just like to feel a lot better.

Getting in shape for summer

May 15, 2010 by Tricia

Darn … I think I might have gained a few pounds in the last week or so.

I was doing so good too! I’m trying to lose weight before summer … I don’t have too much to lose, but being a few pounds lighter would be nice. Being more toned would be good too.

A couple of months ago I went through a period of quick weight loss maybe because my Crohn’s was acting up – I’m not sure, but either way I dropped several pounds really fast. I guess that’s stopped.

Hmm maybe I’m plateauing? Na you don’t gain weight when you’re plateauing.

Oh well, I guess I’ll have to work harder at getting in shape this week.

Zap your Zits?

May 15, 2010 by Tricia

When I was out shopping earlier today I spent some time browsing in the cosmetic section. I was trying to find Bag Balm .. a specific brand, because my heels are so dry and I know the Bag Balm will fix them up in no time. Gotta get ready for summer.

While I was in the cosmetics and beauty supple department of the store I came across this odd new treatment for acne … it’s a blue acne light thing. I guess you just kind of zap your zits with this blue light and they heal up fast.

I don’t really suffer from acne so I wasn’t interested in buying, but I found it interesting. Have you ever tried one of these things? Do they work?

It’s harder to find a nice style of eye glass frames than I thought

May 15, 2010 by Tricia

Wow, I never realized how hard it was to find a decent pair of glasses! I’ve always worn a combination of eye glasses and contacts … but two years ago I suddenly couldn’t wear my contacts anymore because as soon as I put a contact on my eye my eye would start to burn, tear and swell. I think it was some kind of allergic reaction.

So I’ve only been wearing glasses for the last two years … but I think my eye sight has changed again so I decided that it’s time to get my eyes tested and then get one or two new pairs of glasses.

I have an appointment with an optometrist next week but in the mean time I thought it might be good to go out and see if I can find some eye glass frames that I like.

That was harder than I thought!

I thought maybe Walmart or Costco might be cheaper so my husband and I went to both of those stores earlier today to look at the selection and I couldn’t find any frames that suited my face.

What’s with all the really narrow rectangular or oblong lenses? I don’t like big glasses or lenses, but almost all the styles I saw today were way too small .. and I have a small faces. Who wants lenses sticking out from the side of your face.

I think my hunt for a new pair of glasses at a reasonable price is going to take a while. Anyone know of any good places in the Toronto area that has a wide selection of frames and sells eye glasses at a reasonable price?

Anyway … while I was looking for a style of glass frame that suited my face my husband wandered around the stores that we were in … in the last store I had to go searching for him .. he was looking at an epson receipt printer of all things … never even knew those existed! LOL Oh well, it kept him busy for a while.

Now that’s relaxed!

April 27, 2010 by Tricia

Dogs can sleep in the strangest positions!

I feel like this dog right now … I’m so tired I could fall asleep standing up or in just about any weird position. LOL

He does look relaxed though, doesn’t he? isn’t it funny how animals and babies can sleep at the drop of a hat and as I said above, in the strangest of positions?

It’s funny .. a few weeks ago I was searching for a treatment for wrinkles or rather wrinkle prevention … but this dog looks like he could use a wrinkle treatment too! Gravity is not a wrinkled dogs friend!
