I thought quiting smoking was suppose to make you healthier. Then why have I had problems getting a full breath all weekend? I can get a full breath, but have to seriously concentrate. That's not normal ( Read more... )

I totally feel that... I had to wake up early for a Senior Design meeting, but got some Phil time in later today... I would never eat anything else from Krystals actually, but some White Castle... now that's some good stuff... Where is Long John's? I don't need any more fried food, but captain D's has some killer cheese sticks... Hush Puppies are amazing at Long John's but they have to beat Gibson's in my book now. Chicken is always better at the burger places anyway... Spicy Chicken at Wendys, Spicy Chicken at BK, Spicy Chik at Krystals.... AMAZING!

yay for beating ex-companies!

mlk is celebrated in California... though the civil rights movement was most relevant in the south, it seems like people all across the land should like to have a monday off.

FYI, the big purse didn't work out. i'm back to the tiny one my things don't fit in.

im not a smoker and most times i have to sit there and make myself breathe in deeply. i suck at breathing. i did a breathing test and found out i had asthma. dr. graham-hooker was like, "well christine... YOU have asthma!!!" and i go, "that's good to know because i just always assumed i sucked at breathing for no real reason." she loves to diagnose me w/new stuff. crazy woman but a good doctor!

if you're reading a book by penn jillette may i recommend watching penn and teller's bullshit? you can get it on DVD... even rent it at movie gallery. i just got a movie in the mail called "michael moore hates america" and they interview p.j. he may be a satanist but he's a smart and very intelligent guy! seriously, rent the DVD's or have jay download them!

Well, I finally went to the doctor and it turns out I'm having anxiety. I've never in my life had anything of the sort. It's either the lack of nicotine, or the use of Welbutrin. Either way the doc told me to remain on the medicine and just deal with the anxiety. It sounded nuts to me but I guess everything will get better with time. I passed all the breathing tests with flying colors.
Anyway, I was gonna tell you I also visited Dr. Graham-Hooker. She was an awesome doctor. So nice and smart. I too got diagnosed with off-the wall stuff while I was there. She was so cool, that sometimes I'd get reoccurring illnesses and I could run up to her office and she'd just write me a prescription without the office fee. I wish there was one of her up here in HSV.
I'll have to check out that movie. Thanks for the suggestion.

when my insurance changed and i had to see a different doctor i was so sad. i hated my doctor because he didnt care. he didnt know anything about me. he was an old man that hated life and sucked at being a doctor!!! and i finally saw dr. graham at the new J&M and told her how the doctor i was seeing sucked and that she was the best doctor i have ever had. she's helped me get 2 medical leaves.

so my dad switched my insurance so i could see dr. graham. i havent been since summer because she had me going in every 2 weeks!!! RIDICULOUS! one of the nurses, brenda, and dr. graham treat me like im a bar regular.

dr. graham put me on wellbutrin. and i am notorious for anxiety problems. sometimes the medication will make you short of breath. my heart would randomly beat rapidly and i'd be sitting on the couch watching tv... i know wellbutrin helps ppl to quit smoking and also makes them more alert! sometimes if the dose is too high it will make your anxiety worse. i hope things get better for you!
