Selma..glad to hear that you made it on!! But even happier to hear that you are taking the rest you need! BTW- makeup..what is that?? ha ha..my poor DH I'm sure he would like something other than sweats, hair up and glasses on...
As for the lighting, I have switched to the energy savers in my house but it has bothered me on how they affect me. Part of my solution is that I bought lamp shades and covered lights to soften the glow...Also, in the light fixtures that I normally would put two normal bulbs in, I only put one. You are right though, that type of lighting affects many of us and we should have a choice or at least an alternative, I'm sure they could come up with something that is energy saving w/o all the bright light. I am a huge recycler so it is this struggle in me...most of the time I just leave the lights off!

Wolf..your system must be a lot harder than in Canada. I didn't even realize I had the right to ask but when someone informed me, I just asked my GP and she photocopied everything. Also, I learned that when I go in to have bloodwork I can request at that time to get my results sent to me so I actually have them before the DR contacts me. What does make me mad is that no one really lets you know that.....you have to figure it out for yourself!!

Hi all I am back !!!...and talking about tired....dang....I hurt all over....and Carolyn to show how I really feel...I stopped wearing makeup.....it hid the truth...lol.....

But, to do things like normal people we have days that we suffer from it....I am still in my PJ's....and I came downstairs only bcuz I was hungry.....I really want to go back to bed...but, as we all know, even tho I am extremely tired...I will not be able to sleep tonight....ugh...so, I am sitting here trying to see what all I missed here....I know I missed all of u......

Oh, and my rant...something I learned over the weekend...did u all know that the gov is stopping production of regular light bulbs for the cost effecient florescent??!!!

Really....the gov will not allow the older style to be made ne longer and we will only have the florescent type that effects us....I am steaming mad over this....I understand that it helps with costs and all that, but comeon.....the gov should not make the choice for us...especially since many of us r affected by this lighting....ne thoughts???

Perahps it is because it's what I"m fighting right now but - I hate these Privacy laws, I love the protection they give us. But hate the retarded extent you have to go to just to get your 'own' medical records!
