The Loft: Butches and Femmes in their 40s, 50s and over.

Soft*Silver · 03-13-2010, 11:59 PM

hello Lofters...am feeling a bit under the weather. I ran out of my ulcer and hiatal hernia meds and oh...not feeling so well tummy wise..but along I go through the day into the next when I can go get my meds again! Dont you hate it how reliant we are on meds as we age? I remember thinking I was made out of cast iron. Probably was but I put enough alcohol in me early onto turn myself into a rusty tin! (smiling softly)good thing I got into recovery or you would have had to put me in the scrap pile!

On the other side of my emotions, is excitement. Tomorrow I am picking up the waterfall vanity and bed my sister bought me for my new house. I cant wait to have all my make up and jewelry in the same area, an area dedicated just for them. A dream come true!

I hope your weekend is good...and that the rains I am hearing about didnt do any damage where you are!

I have a hiatal hernia and gerd problems and the meds i was on for yrs made it worse, until i tried apple cider vinegar, bicarb & spring water (not tap), 3 times a day, it works and its very good for anyone with athritis/skin problems as it regulates your acidity ph levels............anyone interested google Earthclinic.com..........

I wonder if this is why I crave apples when I dont have those meds....thanks for the tip..I will try it...

I have 2 tablespoons of acv, with l/4 teaspoon bicarb soda mixed with a glass of spring water on empty stomach, dont eat for an hr after taking acv nor take it for 3 hrs after eating, so you can fit it in with your meals............i also find cutting back on red meat, booze, bread or anything with lactose, milk etc helps, eating lots of fresh veg & fruit - but try not to eat fruit with anything else because it only takes half an hr to digest and if you have a meal which can take anything from 3 - 12 hrs to digest, depending on what you have eaten, the fruit sits on top of that fermenting, which is why you make lots of acid and people often say "oh, i cant eat fruit" - they can but on its own...........i am no expert but since l994 i have studies diet and tried things out, so i can only speak from my own experiences

A very good morning to all Lofters

I hope everyone has a wonderful day doing what they want with the folks they want to do it with.

Commiserations to those feeling poorly I hope you're feeling better soon.

It's a sunny Sunday here and Mrs.I is engrossed in an assignment that has to be handed in tomorrow and preparing for a presentation tomorrow too poor lass. That leaves me to catch up with my reading and get out for a walk in the sunshine. I also forsee a movie night coming up, I have some fantastic dvds of films I've not seen for a very long time and am looking forward to seeing with new eyes, eg Barry Lyndon and the Last Emperor
