Spike ,'Showtime'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I'm not really stress eating the refined sugars all that much. More the potato, bread, and cheese food groups. Mac and cheese, cheese pizza, various cheese-based spreads on crackers. Yummy, if not nutritionally complete. And great with wine. Oh, hey, that's fruit, isn't it?
Hee.
It actually stops ALL my compulsive eating, not just sweets. I think the lack of blood sugar bounce has a lot to do with how I respond to stress.
I used the Nuva ring before I was pregnant, and preferred it infinitely to the pill. Easier to remember to use & much lower side effects.
[edited to clarify that I did not get pregnant while ON Nuva ring. It was just the last BC I was on before going off it entirely to get pregnant.]

Yeah, this is why my doc recommended it. I had a terrible time on the pill (worst side effect? lowered sex drive) last time I was on it which was ...many years ago.

Abstainance only birth control!

That will definitely increase your sex drive.
I should add that Ativan has been helpful for me; I know other Buffistas have taken it, and I think it's been helpful for them, too.
Ativan probably saved my life when I was going through the divorce. It was a godsend for me. (Valium was also nice, but the Ativan was much more useful, since I needed to be fully-functional more often than not.)
Huh. I should look into the Nuva ring.
um ... I was on Zoloft for six months or so after I had my stroke; I was badly depressed and, seemingly, it's good for your brain. It helped.
Ativan and Zoloft. I'll look them up--thanks!
I liked the Nuva ring. I had mildly stronger cramps and sore boobs than with the pill, but it was nice to put in and then pretty much forget about it.

Count me in the love camp. Which reminds me, I need to find a GYN here and get a new perscription. My cycle is SO much easier when I'm on the ring. Living in NGA land means the other benefit of the ring isn't such a big deal.
