Health can be a tricky thing
So I heard recently that Venomous Kate had resumed blogging, which to me sounded like good news. Then I stumbled onto this post. Apparently Kate has been suffering some really horrible GI problems. Having been through similar issues, although nowhere…

Kelly,sorry to hear about all that!
I was near death myself last year.Only I lost more and more and more of the 125 (I am almost 5’9)that I only had on me.Years of struggeling with undiagnosed Graves disease got me there.Last year they finnaly found it and I had to have my thyrois removed,ALL OF IT.So I do feel better now,no more heart problems,no more anxiety,no more severe depression and all that kind of crap but also no more loss.Which is good but NOW I GAIN AND GAIN AND GAIN!!Weird enough only in one spot…..
I am a bit jalous of you living in Hawaai!
Hope all goed well!

The warning on the prep is right, as the is the “la-la” land description. It’s called twilight sleep- they knock you out enough that you’re not uncomfy, per se, and you’re able to follow direction. But you should have little memory of it, if any.

I’m sorry to hear you’ve been so ill. I’ve been through what you have, and exercise WAS my salvation. And every time I get off my routine, I feel like hell- lethargic, ill, etc. So you are DEFINITELY on the right track.

Hang in there!

Keep your chin up kiddo, I’m sending good thoughts and wishes your way.

I’ve got the exact same “toy” that I’ve been using, along with the “quit eating so damn much” diet, and I’ve lost 40 pounds since the first of the year.

It’s a life-long commitment, not a short-term thing, which really sucks because I’m a lazy dog.

Wow – glad that you’re “on the mend,” Kate. Keep going – be strong – and thanks for letting us know how you’re doing. Your extended hiatus was really getting a bit scary for some of us!

You’re in my thoughts. I’ve lived with IBS for most of my life and can certainly relate to the symptoms you’ve been dealing with.
