Exhaustion | Arthritis Information

 I think it is the kind of exhaustion that one earns. Spent the day yesterday at Chucky Cheese with the niece and nephews. If it continues tomorrow I will see the doctor.

 
At my grandfathers funeral as they were having everyone leave one isle at a time there was a call for help. My cousins husband had collapsed. Low blood sugar. There was a dish of pastel mints on the table and someone thought to put one under his tongue. This brought him to enough to get some sugar water down him before the ambulance arrived.
 
Well I get a different kind of low blood sugar. It amazed me at the small amount of sugar that was given to him. That would never have gotten them any where if it had been me. My daily sugar consumtion is astronomical in comparison. Maybe that is bad for me but oh well. It is what it is. I do not eat so much sugar as I drink alot of it. Ice tea. Well I do go threw the tic tacs pretty fast also. Sjorgrens and all. It just really gets me thinking as to how bad my low blood sugar is. Because when they sent me to the hospital I was on pred and deffinately sugar. You would have thought my blood sugar would have been threw the roof not dangerously low. I did chalk it up to the fishoil. But it was strange. I was eating ham like crazy and I read that AI low blood sugar does not respond to sugar. The antibodies do attack pork. So I sort of wondered in the back of my mind if it was AI related. I was eating so much ham over the holidays that everyone was wrapping it up and sending me home with more. You crave what you need sort of thing. So I am strange but when I get extreem exhaustion I get a cbc and buy a big kentucky ham. I was told by my docs to always let them know when I am feelling this way. Because now I never have a problem when I ask for a cbc.
oh did u have fun at chucky cheese?  me and my friend were still going there, alot, last autumn we went every few weeks, lol. seems sorta babyish, but i liked chucky cheese since i was a little kid.

Yes StarPerson121 I had a blast. I am kind of too old for Chucky Cheese but I love it.
 
SnowOwl Any excuse for ham is a good excuse for me. Thanks for the hugs.

I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather, Milly. Lots of gentle hugs to you.

Ham sounds good. Have you ever tried DrPepper ham? It's awesome!!

Hope you have a superfantastic and extra-comfortable evening. :)

I have never been to chuck E cheese. I wanted to go for MY 28th b-day, but hubby would not take me. Sadly... my daughter has been, my hubby has been and me I have not been. I have always wanted to go.
 
I was having horrible exhaustion last week and the week before. I just felt so tired and not even sleeping done much to help relieve it.... so I did not sleep much.
 
I have been craving honey bar-b-que boneless chicken chunks or baffalo boneless chicken chunks. I still want some. YUMMY!
 
Hope you feel better soon, Milly.
Oh Joonie that is so sad. Your little boy would love to go there. They have a big tunnle for the kids to climb in. We had two birthdays to celebrate and we had a coupon. My niece and nephew are one day a part on there birthdays. Maybe you can find a coupon and ask hubby again. We did not do the cake and birthday party thing we went the cheep route and had our cake at home. They give you a free balloon if it is your birthday. My niece lost hers in the parking lot. Oh the tears. I went in to get her a new one. They were really nice about it and did not charge me for it. Milly, I hope you are feeling better.  No wonder you are exhausted!  Gosh, the funeral must have taken every bit of mental and physical strength you had!  How sweet you all still celebrated with the kids!  I prefer cake from home if I am going to eat cake and it is always good to save where you can. 

You rest up and take care not to over do.

My Grandfather died last Wednesday. The funeral was Saturday. I stayed with my sister all week waiting for her Doctors appointment. Finally some good news for a change yesterday. We were so relieved to hear that her thyroid hormones had returned to normal and that she was on the road to recovery. It was like having a ton of bricks taken off of our chest and being given permission to breath again. So we were actually able to enjoy our Birthday celebration knowing that there mothers health was good. It was great cause for celebration. We would never cancle birthdays for young children. Sometimes in life we may have to pospone them a day or two. Thankfully we were more relaxed around them yesterday than what we had been worring.

Do not over do. I already did that all this week. So I got home last night and crashed. I slept till 2:00 pm. I promise you I did not over do today. Most of my efforts were crawling in and out of bed. Good to be back home again.
 
My Grandfather had Rhuematic Fever and had his first heart attack in his early thirties. He had Graves Disease many heart attacks, many heart surgeries. He had a cyst on his pancreas removed several years ago. This caused him to be diabetic. His life and his accomplishments far out wieghed his health problems. He did not tell us that he had kidney disease. I guess because we all loved him so much that he knew we worried. I was conditioned scince a young child to appreciate every day that I spent with him. As his heart was fragile. It did not make it any easier to let him go. You prepare yourself when people get up in there years. It did not make it any easier. I think he lived so long because he knew we could not handle loosing him. So strange because it was the day we feared for so long. He had arthritis so bad and was in a great deal of pain. He could not often get out of his chair to bed from the pain in these later years. As far as I know it was osteo of the spine. His sister did have RA. I think his mother also. She died of kidney disease in her early seventies. So he did a fine job of hanging around for us for a long time. I cherished ever day of that. He will always be in my heart and mind.
