    Checking in tonight.  I had a great day - went to church and then DH and I went out for a steak lunch.  I then went to the barn to say hello to Jazzy as I won't see her again until the end of next week.  My trainer and her husband laughed at me as this was the first time they had seen me with my hair all done up professionally and *gasp* I actually had make up on.   I always show up with my hair in a pony tail wearing rags as you always get dirty out there.

    Tomorrow I have to clean J's house, go see my therapist and then in the evening I have breast cancer support group at the new hospital.  I will try to check in later tomorrow night and then hopefully will be able to make it down to my computer to check in after my procedure on Tuesday.

    Ya'll have a great night and a good day tomorrow!

    Yes, Gretas are breeding like mice. Some are quite contrite, others are reasonable, while others, still, seem to triangulate when possible, making wild accusations when all else fails. There are a few spammers and stalkers. Must be some genetic mutations that are causing different DNA helices to form.

    I have had insomnia for days now. Woke up too early today and do not know if I will be able to work, because I might start feeling dead at around 7 am. I am taking all measures possible to regulate my sleep and still nothing.

    Night girls - I'll check in in the morning - have a lovely day and watch out for those Greta's - they are definitely multiplying.

    I always get blamed for everything!  To my stalkers.  I know you read here.  If I get upset enough, I will get the law on this case because I am being falsely accused.  My name is being bandied about.  According to you, I don't live in Canada nor do I have breast cancer,  I might even have them look into the hacking allegations.  Enough is enough!  I welcome CNN or any other news organization and I will tell my story.  How a woman with breast cancer and Parkinson's Disease who went through brain surgery is being stalked and targeted by a few bullies.  I have screen shots.  BTW I don't blame BCO.  I blame the sickos that can't take different points of view.  I can understand how innocent people end up in jail down there, and I bet it's the Repiblicans that put them there.  Now I have blown my gasket!

    Susie .. it does appear that the Greta's are multiplying.  Hopefully, they'll drown out the voice of the one offender.

    oooohhh....did BLue use dirty words Wink

    Well, now that the review site has made this thread so popular - they are WACKOS - how could any women with bc, be angry enough, have the time to create the energy, to try to destroy what is of value to so many other women?  I'm glad I just don't get it. And shudder to think what will happen to this website if they weren't permanently banned.  Selfish feeling I have, I've spent the last few years trying to help other women get thru what I experienced in treatment - if all of us leave here - they'll be left with ...what???

    Athena -

    Sorry about the insomnia.  It's such a horrible cycle to be in, and one that's difficult to break.  (((Athena)))

    What on earth just happened?

    ((((Blue)))) Whatever it was.

    E - I had to call in sick and just had some sleep. Seeing my wonderful doctor tomorrow. My regulatory systems are all off, and when I have my period it gets even worse. I have a crappy hypothalamus.

    Well crap, Athena!  And double crap on your crappy hypothalamus!  Glad you're going to see your doctor tomorrow. 

    No idea what happened with Blue's posts.  I came on and noticed the "deleted by Moderators" so I have no idea what she even said to begin with.  Maybe the Moderators' computers were hacked!!!!!!  Hahaha.

    ((( Athena ))) I hope you are able to get some sleep today!  Can you take a sleeping pill at night to help?

    I take Lunesta when I can't sleep.  And it seems to work just fine.

    Oh, Bren, I have a pharmacological treasure trove at home and many other things.

    E - I hadn't thought of that. I think we'd better call Fox News and alert them.  Innocent

    Great, just Great!  They take us off Active Topics and now the mods delete Blue - what DO THEY WANT????  (((((Blue)))))

    Athena - hate that you can't sleep - I went through that for 18 months and it was one of the reasons I went off the AIs - I don't sleep a lot anyway but three hours a night wasn't doing it for me - I was a mess.  Hope your doctor can help.

    (((((blue))))   I can't believe how you are being targeted.  Don't let the bi****s get you down!

    Athena, ask your doctor about trazodone.  I take one before bed, and it really helps.  I have suffered from insomnia for years...it is AWFUL!  I hope you get some good sleep soon.

    I hope so too, Sandy. ETA: Thanks Mary. Yes, we know them all (the meds)...and still I have insomina. And all the other measures.

    I have an appointment at John Hopkins in September to discuss this with a gyneacologist. The insomina is related to menstruation. There is a complex bevy of factors at work. There may be talk of putting me on the pill - me, a cancer patient. I am having to make some difficult decisions..... The doctor I see tomorrow is a different one, but he, too, can help.

    Athena .. this may be a way out there suggestion, but unless you are planning to have children, why not get a total hysterectomy?  I had a partial years ago when my uterus was removed because I couldn't stop bleeding.  I was constantly in PMS.  Then a few years ago, I had my ovaries removed as they got all tangled up floating around in there.  I was on HRT for a few years until I got cancer, then went into immediate menopause when they took away my pills.  It wasn't too bad.  The symptoms only lasted a couple of weeks and then I was fine.

    hugs,

    Bren

    Bren, I don't want to do that because there is more than just hormones associated with the ovaries, including bone and heart health as well as cognitive acuity. I could also cause my comorbidity (which is what this is all tied to) to get much worse in a short time. I reacted very, very badly to Lupron for the two months I was on it, so you could say that I had a test run of sudden menopause and got a view of what it's like for me. I could not get out of bed with even 400 mgs of Provigil, which is an enormous dose.

    I would rather live happy for one year than wish I was dead forever. I was only 11 percent hormone positive, so a small dose of the pill could be a doable risk - if it works, that is. On Lupron, it took me three hours to make coffee every morning because I kept having to take naps in between! Even with 14 hours of sleep. I could not work or function.

    Anyway, I will stop complaining... There are MANY worse things than insomina.

    Athena .. I understand completely.   You aren't complaining!  Insomnia is a hard thing to treat.  And we need our sleep to function.  I didn't realize you were only 11% ER+.  That's not a lot.  I was 100% ER+ so I'm glad to have my parts gone since I'm not taking any anti-hormonal medication.

    Hugs,

    Bren

    Yah, but insomnia leads to those much worse things.  (((Athena)))

    My cognitive function decreased after doctors removed my ovaries.  Not my IQ; just my mental speed and agility.  Very frustrating.

    Bren - I was 10 percent er and one percent pr. In many ways, I feel more triple neg. than anything, so I try to follow the recommendations for that, which includes exercise, for which I need to be rested. For you a hysterectomy was a good choice.

    E - exactly - you are just as intelligent, but memory and concetration can fail. I cannot afford that in my job or in my future career prospects.

    And yes, it's ultimately about the comorbidity.

    I should be thankful, though. Many people in my situation are unable to function and are on disability.

    PS: I have no idea what to make of that latest review - way before my time, but a bit shocking to read?

    I believe that last review is true, Athena, just based on what I heard from others.
