Hey everyone

Just want to let everyone know what's been going on. For those that don't know I have had very hard to deal with symptoms. Brain blanking out, very weak, trouble with conversations (not able to find or use the right words) and just too many more to go into right now.

On Sun. I was having the same symptoms but also had heart palpitations and pressure so I went to the ER and I just got home yesterday. Apparently my glands that regulate electrolytes and water is not working. Last mo. my Calcium was high and now my sodium was extremely low, causing all my symptoms. That is due to my inhalers with steroids and now the fix is taking more, but different, steroids.

My complete inability to sleep more that 4-5 hours, I think, was do to anxiety. I am going to fess up and state when I got home I drank about 3 beers and smoked 2 cigarettes. I have no excuse. I certainly told myself over and over that  a cig would not make anything better and it didn't. So I am resetting my quit day untill today. Taking all prayers that anyone has too offer

love to all

Connie
