(nodding) Doctors are apparently trained that fat causes almost every symptom acknowleged by the medical profession, just like being female causes every pain symptom reported by a woman.

Thrive to spite them
Can you change doctors? I know it's not always possible but it sounds like this one is failing you in multiple ways.
And in doctor news I could use a lot ~ma today. I see my meds manager today and therapy. With a side order of dealing we it insurance issues at meds managers place . If I have to deal with the actual insurance company I'm going to see if Dad can do that on my behalf because there is no way I can deal with that stress too.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Lots of ~ma for strength an luck, askye.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I'm giving in and having a real cuppa this morning because I've had a terrible headache for several days and I can't take advil. My doctor said I could have one cup a day, I just haven't been doing it very often. But I have too much to do today to have a splitting headache. Mom is away this month so we're taking a mini vacation to her place for the weekend, and I have to do all the laundry.
Was it here we were talking about needing to reorganize or was it Natter? I started reading The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo. So far, it's interesting. My intention is to finish reading it this weekend and then start on the actual organizing on Monday. Maybe I could even have a semi-organized house by the time ltc is born.

I am not making this up, and I can provide a screenshot to prove it: I just checked my holds list at the library, and my hold on this book just changed to "IN TRANSIT." I can't wait to read it.

Yay, Teppy! Let me know if you want to chat about it when you start reading it.

I now want three more cups of tea, which I can't have. Boo.

sj I think a little coffee or tea is fine during pregnancy as long as your stomach tolerates it.
