Geriatric MM Warriors!

Look up adrenal exhaustion Kathy. I found a lot of good information there too.

Hi Nell! I will check it out. I have heard of it, but that is about it. Time to open another window to search LOL

Nell, the reason it seems backward is that the caffeine gives you your "boost." Each time we drink it, it makes our "normal" energy even lower, so we need more caffeine to bring us up to "normal." Before we know it it takes 2 pots of coffee/caffeine to get us to even normal.
Hope you can understand it the way I tried to explain it.

Oh yeah! Exactly. It explains me to a Tee. I kept having the doctor check to make sure my thyroid medicine was right, and it was. I thought I was going crazy and there's big improvement now. It's easy to understand because what you and Natalie are explaining are right on point. The way the Met B was right on point too! God is really working in my life right now. I've got a lot falling into place. I feel very fortunate.

YAY! I feel God working in my life but not always and in the ways I want Him too--I actually yelled at him this morning (yes, I did apologize after!!) because I've been sooo tired lately and was asking him to throw me a bone! yes, I know, He thinks I'm crazy too--but He love me (all of us!!)

It could be, Kathy. You know how the light came on when you read the introduction to MM? That's the same way I was when I first read From Fatigued to Fantastic by Dr. Teitelbaum. I have ordered it for people from Amazon. I'm scanning those pages on D-Ribose for Nell and Natalie. I can email you if you want, also. But remember, it's only a piece of the puzzle so it might not be the best to take it out of context. The story he tells of the animal vet that couldn't work any more really hit home.

Lisa, sent you a pm. Just don't like posting my personal stuff on a public forum. No problem with anyone here though.
Thanks again! I am looking at a checklist online for it, and like you said, it's just like the MM. I am like "yep, yep, oh ya I got that."
Thanks Lisa!!

Sure, Kathy, I will send it soon. I ran out of ink, of course half way through the scan.

OK, you will all like this one. One really bad day years ago, I was sooo upset. I won't get into specifics, but I ended up going to bed around 2am and got up at 4 to be at work at 5. I was so tired, so upset, crying, and I told my boss I had to go home. When I got home, I went to bed, cried and cried. I prayed and prayed. Then just wanting someone to hold me and tell me it would be ok, I asked God for a hug. It was an immediate peace that swept over me. Words can't even describe it. I wish I had that all the time.
Moral of the story, yeah, even God gives hugs. And boy are they great. Just ask him for one sometime.

 

[Wisteria1956]

Wow, Kathy, that is a powerful story. One night my husband and I had a breakdown. We were literally on the floor crying telling God we couldn't take it anymore not having a baby. Our son was conceived the next day - at the doctor's office, but still! Sometimes you have to show how much you want something, I guess.

I have had that feeling before, exactly like that. Only during times when I've been at the end of my rope though. I think that's probably my receptiveness rather than god's willingness. I believe if you ask an angel for help they will help too.

 

[gdarnold]

I just know I have to "surrender to win"!! That is where I am now with my Dad.

I am so sorry Lisa and Robin and anyone else that got nasty letters. You would think adults would have more to do like LIFE!!

The other threads from what I scanned through are rather boring.

May Peace be with all of us and HIS Grace wrap us in his arms.

I don't find it a coincidence that Mike's name is Mike. He was named after the archangel Michael. And his middle name is Anthony after the saint. Ya, he's catholic.

One other time on Christmas morning, I was coming back to my house from Mike's house. It was really snowy and icy out. My car slid off the road and into a small embankment. This was before I had my cell phone. After walking around the car and realizing I couldn't get out, someone pulled up behind me and out steps Santa Claus. He had a cell phone. Just as I was about to dial Mike's number, a truck pulled up behind that had a wench on it. They pulled me out. I never got a chance to call Mike. I had no money to give them for a thanks, but I thanked them over and over. When I pulled out (they were just ahead of me) and around the corner, both the car and truck were gone. Never did find out who they were. The Santa Claus was a guy on his way to his little kids' house to surprise them. Never found out who the other people were.
So, yes, I guess I forgot how much God does care about us. I guess I just needed you all to help me remember again. Thanks. I have quite a few other times these types of things happened. As we journey, I'm sure I'll share more.

Maybe we don't get receptive until we're at the point where we totally give up trying to do it ourselves? That's what I'm thinking. Your story corresponds with times I've had when I've ended up praying on the floor sobbing and my prayer comes true. I think for me it takes me getting to that level before my prayer is strong enough.

 

[gettinhealthy]

Ya know, I didn't think of this until reading Gena's post. On the other forum, I was always afraid to say anything at all about God. Here, it just seems, well, normal. I honestly am home now.
Hi Gena, hope all is well with you this evening.

I think a lot of it is in how we pray also. The bible tells us to pray as children. When a child wants something, to him, he's getting it. No questions asked. I think prayers are sort of like that. You need to feel it with all your soul.
And yes Nell, the angels are always here for us as well. We only need to call upon them, just as we can call upon Jesus. What I find amazing is how right now, the angels are above us. At the end of time, and when the new kingdom comes, we are higher than the angels. Really puts into perspective how much we are all loved. I look at how much I love my girls, and God and Jesus love us so much more than we can love. Wish I could comprehend how much it is.
I had a really bad experience one time, and Jesus came through for me. I honestly think I was dealing with a demon. My mom has had the same thing. I notice when I get really close to God, strange, scary things happen. I have only told 2 people about this. I may end up in a straight jacket if I told anyone else. But it happened just as I know I'm sitting here chatting with all of you.
Lisa, I'm so glad God answered your prayer for a child. He was just waiting to give you the most special child he could find.
Ok, here's a question. When you die, and you can ask God anything, what is the one question you've always wanted to ask him?
I think mine is why he could let a so many things go wrong? The violence, killings, stealing, just all this horrible stuff.
I know this is Satan's world and not ours though.

Checking in quick...really busy here today!

Kathy - I want to be your #3!! "believe in the Lord even when he is silent"

Nell - it really ticks me off that my organs get to go on vacation without me....next time I go, I think I am leaving them at home!!

Lisa - as far as the grass thing goes...I honestly think I would rather "light them on fire", then put them in my food! EEEWWWWWWWW

Ok Robin, I'll light it on fire with ya!! That isn't really a cigarette, right? I can have just one?

 

[gettinhealthy]

Well my dear friends, I think I may head off to bed. Really tired tonight. I do thank you for talking to me. I'd rather talk than eat! Although I am getting hooked on my homemade whipped cream!!
Have a great evening.
Robin, please tell Ken I said hi. Mike's niece's fiance' is working in China for Westinghouse. He has I think 2 or 3 more years over there. She goes to visit when she can. She doesn't really like it there though.
I hope everyone sleeps well also. God bless and sweet dreams.

 

[Daniele]

Lisa, that was my first labs I finally got to Diane. I've still got to take the new ones. It was another month starting Oct 1st, so I should get them taken around Nov. 1st. Then hopefully I'll get my clearance and be able to move on.

I'm having chicken salad and broccoli soup tonight. It's good!

Pony, I hope work slows down for you!

Natalie, I'm glad you feel safe here! Me too!

Good nite Kathy!

Amen Sista!! Hi Ladies. Finally got a minute to take a peek. I have a lot of stories like this one Kathy. I'm glad we can talk freely here.

 

[Wisteria1956]

Nell: I would love to have your soup recipe on our thread.

Kathy: Funny you should say that about God giving us our son. I was a tad bit worried with all the medical intervention that we might be going against nature too much or something, but when I got that call from the doctor, I just knew we had been saved to be the parents of THIS baby. It was a wonderful feeling and very much worth waiting for.

Pony: I am not touching that lighting of grass on fire comment in case your former fellow officers would have to come looking for you – and it appears you have corrupted Kathy!

Nell: I am anxiously awaiting your answer about the financial aid and nursing school. You would be a wonderful health care professional.
they didn't have a nurse hat.

That's ok Lisa. I like being a princess!
