I take it for another reason, but only take 5 mg/night (cut a 10mg one in half). It really does help with sleep and I haven't needed to increase the dosage because it was no longer effective. I've been taking it about a year. I haven't seen any weight increase because of it.

I had the surgery about 4 years ago. It does work, but recovery for the first 10 days or so is very painful. Bowel movements were agonizing. I really had to take fiber, take Miralax, and Magnesium Calm to keep everything "loose". One tip, if you do this, is get a plastic ketchup bottle and fill with water. Squirt the water to help clean yourself after a BM because wiping is very painful. This was the best tip I got regarding recovery. Also, recently I am having some pain again, so not sure if it's a long term solution. I remember the surgeon telling me the surgery should last about 10 years. She didn't tell me this until after the surgery. Would I do it again? Probably, if it became really painful on a daily basis, but it will probably take a lot of pain to get me there. You may not want to hear this, but I thought recovery was worse than recovery from my C-section.

My sister bought one of these for my parents who are in their 90's and it works great. They really enjoy it.

I have this, and use it a lot. I like it, but you have to slam it down pretty hard to chop vegetables like carrots.

Pediatrician's office did it for $50, including the earrings. No problems.

No divorces in any generation of my family. My parents have been married 66 years and counting.

If you're still in the area where your wedding ring was purchased, you might check with them to see if they would resize it for free. I remember that the jewelry store where we got my rings included a lifetime free service to resize the rings.

Just thought I'd mention that we got our kids these tents a couple years ago. They put them up in October and leave them up through around March or April before it gets too hot. This is the third year they've used them, and they are holding up well. They love them!

I loved the new one for some car or van (not sure which one) based on the original Vacation movie, and Christie Brinkley pulling up in the red sports car. It's really cool if you remember the original Vacation movie with Chevy Chase.

We have a female guinea pig, about 2 years old, that had a lump on her back. It was just a cyst. The vet drained it, and it cost about $150. We also have another female guinea pig, about 2 years old, that had a mammary tumor. The vet did surgery on her, and it cost also cost about $150. It would have cost almost $100 more if we would have had it sent to a lab to see if it was cancerous. Our vet told us that there really wasn't much they could do if it was cancerous, and since the margins were clear, it was likely OK. So it didn't seem to make sense to have it tested. Hope your piggie is OK.

Yum. I grew up in a small town in south central Nebraska, and loved Runzas. We usually eat them when we go back and visit.

Ha! I can't tell you how many times I've had the exact same conversation with people. :confused1:

My ds was sick all day yesterday. He laid on the couch like a zombie while we were opening presents, barely able to open his. Just as we were finishing, he vomited. Thankfully, I am always prepared and there was a bucket ready and waiting. I'm thankful we weren't wiping vomit off of presents. Yuck! He's up running around today like he wasn't even sick yesterday, so things are improving.

I was pregnant at age 45 with twins. I agree that it's not just your age. I have no advice about what's going on. I was very tired and slept a lot more, but not at all close to the degree you are experiencing.
