Pill Popping

I am a supplement store owner's dream. I recently started giving them far too much money each month to try to maintain my health (or improve it)...I started with multi-vitamins (raw veggie pills--four a day), Cod Liver Oil, Brevail (apparently for optimum breast health), and magnesium to help stave off migraines. After one month those pills ran out and I headed back in to reload. This visit I added on Migrelief (sp?) for migraines (gotten two in the past two months and hadn't had one since Oct). They debilitate me and scare the heck out of the whole family...

Last Sat. night Eric and 6 other wonderful husbands surprised their wives with a private dinner, delicious wines, roses, chocolates, and a magical night of romance--quaint restaurant, fireplace, candles...lovely. I was literally shaking like a leaf. Yes, I was moved by the surprise gesture but I truly had the shakes. My hands, lips, legs...my dear friends mouthed across the table to me a couple times, 'You OK?" I calmly nodded..

Eric mentioned on the ride home maybe it was my pills. "But they're holistic and natural and just what I need" (so they say). I argued.

I have been incredibly edgy and nervous and paranoid about my health again--anxiety ridden and not at all like I have been for a couple years now when I finally grew calmer and for the most part able to keep things in perspective.

Well, I am back to the calmer, gentler me. I hope. At least for NOW.

I spoke to one of the employees at the supplement store who mentioned it may be the Brevail (breast pill) causing the migraines and bitchiness although it allegedly staves OFF PMS--apparently not for me! and it could be the Migrelief (contains Feverfew) causing the anxiety. So here I sit--strictly on multi-vitamins, cod liver oil, magensium and Vitamin B (hopefully they'll work on the migraines without the Feverfew) and I don't have an anxious thought in my head. So nice...and again, for now.

Or it could be that the sun is out and Eric drove by me as I was leaving the neighborhood on a walk and he sent me this text, "U R a 1 woman neighborhood beautification project"...

Truth be told it really is a comment (or a knock) about our neighborhood much more than it is a compliment to me but, I'll take it!
