I make handmade greeting cards and small gifts & favors as a hobby. My church is putting on a charity auction to raise money for the church. They needed donated items for the silent & Chinese auction. So I took a chance and called the Auction head, a woman named Fran. She wanted to see my items in p...

I was rushed this morning trying to make it to church and didn't take my reflux meds this morning. I was at IHOP having dinner with my family, when I had a reflux attack. I was scared, but I talked myself through it and then I was okay. I feared getting sick, but instead of running away from the ima...

I just wanted to let you that WW worked for both myself and my husband. I was 25 lbs overweight after my son was born. I started WW and I lost 25 lbs in about 9 months. It did take a while, but I did it gradually. I followed the plan carefully and did exercise! It really is all about the choices we ...

This all started with my 2 1/2 year old son came down with an ear & throat infection. 2 days into the antibiotic, his fever rose to around 101 degrees, then it came down a bit to rest at 100.6. My son has had a fever of about 100.6 for almost 10 days now. I've been to the pediatrician several times....

Just wanted to let everyone know how proud I am of myself. I had dinner out in a restaurant with my husband tonight. I have severe GERD & worry about eating foods in restaurants.

Thanks Mary Jane. I feel better today. In my son's class there are children even younger than him. One of his friends just turned 2. It's good for Alex to go to preschool. He's an only child and really was missing interaction with other children. I would see him want to be around other children wher...

My son is 2 1/ 2 years old and started preschool for the 1st time, 2 weeks ago. It didn't take long for him to wake up with another cold, which a week later turned into an ear infection & throat infection. He's had colds before, but nothing that required antibiotics. This is the 1st time, he's been ...

Has anyone experienced what I call the vicious cycle. Some of my anxiety is centered around how my stomach feels. I get terrible reflux, which starts my anxiety going. Then I think my anxiety further upsets my stomach, to the point where I can't tell if my upset stomach is reflux or anxiety. I have ...

The fall has always been a difficult time for my Mom. She carries around with her many scars of deaths of people who very close to her, (brother, father, mother, & husband. When she gets stressed out, she lashes out at me. She has begun picking on me for small things & I am worried that she will hav...

I am just finishing up week 1 of the program. I am encountering great resistance on my part in using the relaxation tape. I fear relaxing because when I relax I think too much. So I literally have to force myself to listen to the tape at least once a day. Any suggestions on how I can overcome this c...
