Yippee!! And please tell me.

I have just come from the doctor.....cause for celebration ? you ask, she must get a life. It is indeed cause for celebration, lovely girl doctor called me " Helen, come on through" ( worrying when your doctor calls you as if you are her best friend, anyhoo) "Wow, you look GREAT! You have really lost weight haven't you."
Love this doctor, love her, would marry her if she wasn't a girl and I wasn't married to H. Would have to be a lesbian too so perhaps I wouldn't actually marry her but would definately be her very best friend.
I explained about my damn legs which actually have spread to be restless legs, ankles, neck and arms and how every night I weep and twitch and just growl with misery. It is now 4am before this pain stops, I can't do it. Grumpy tired me.
So, I did see a rotten doctor last week who always appears so bored , so weary of fat women moaning about this and that and take this medicine woman and get the hell out of my room. ( didn't actually say that but I read minds, I could hear him think it) i looked up the medicine, an anti convulsant no less, it said quite clearly DO NOT TAKE IF YOU HAVE A HISTORY OF DEPRESSION, OR IF YOU HAVE LOST A LOVED ONE RECENTLY. Duh. Knew he was bored and not paying attention.
I really liked the part that says this will make you drowsy, loved that idea, we like drowsy, woozy, sleepy, comatose. Love that. Hate the highly addictive part ( although maybe could sell them to pay for oil change on car that has a light glaring, telling me it needs new oil, more money. )
So, I didn't take them although last night I almost did as I was desperate. I talked it out with lovely girl doctor who said she could see I was thinner, so I believe her, she said she has been researching this and indeed this IS a good medicine, that if I take it it will stop the misery, it will also stop the nerve pain that feels like freezing cold water down my right butt cheek. It will help me sleep and make me feel better. If I start to slip into a depression they will help me get off it and try something else.
I liked her so much that I admitted my few weeks of pig loving, stuffing fit to bust and then we decided that I should step on the scales that have been monitoring my weight journey. Yippee, I have only gained TWO POUNDS! Hoorah.

I am being cleansed, ewwwww the good food is riding my body of the junk, it isn't very pleasant or comfortable but it is marvellously cleansing. I am nauseatingly cheerful, albeit in a farty kind of way. I am back on the wagon again. 3 stone, 45 lbs, 47 actually. It is entirely doable. Do it I shall.
Imagine if I do it and at the same time get some sleep without spasming legs and breaking ankles. Heavens above it will be like paradise on earth in this house.
