Anyone on very low dose beta blockers?
Melissa in Australia replied to Laura Corin's topic in The Chat Board
I am on low dose beta blocker and another heart medication that is not a beta blocker. It is to try keep my pulse in the 80s. My heart rate is all over the place, either dropping to the low 50s or rising rapidly over 110+ with the slightest exertion . Multiple times a day. I naturally have very low blood pressure. When my pulse drops to anything below 64 I feel absolutely awful , very fatigued, chest pain , headache, cold. Symptoms disappear as soon as pulse is up over 70.if my pulse goes over 110 I feel breathless, have chest pain, tightness across chest. If it goes over 120 my vision blures, am panting , and I feel so yuck that I lay down on the floor wherever I am. I am not doing any exercise that would rase heart rate, still using a walker am completely house bound. -

Has anyone here gone Teetotal for non-religious reasons
Melissa in Australia replied to Ginevra's topic in The Chat Board
I don't drink alcohol, soft drink, anything carbonated or tea and coffee. Not keen on juice either. Nothing to do with religion. I only drink water. I want it at room temperature, preferably rain water.. -

We did rotating chore at meal times as well. One thing I also did with my bio children was extra bonus chores linked to computer time. They had to earn computer time. I made a list of jobs with time they were worth. It is supprisingly how willing they all were to do extra jobs without being asked when it was to get something they wanted.

I have accidently put stuff into other people's shopping Trolley . Like picked something off the shelf, turned around and put it into a trolley that isn't mine. This happens when one of my kids is pushing the trolley and they have moved off without me noticing.

Thanks for the great ideas I make quilt as you go quilts once I get enough leftover bits of wadding (batting). I actually use to call It batting, but the product is labled wadding on the roll so I thought I had it wrong and started calling it wadding. I refuse to use fleece as it is not natural fibres. I am trying for environmental reasons to only use natural fibres if at all possable for everything. It is even bad for the environment to wash petro-chemical fabrics, all those micro plastics or whatever they are called shed off.
