Elisa, I'm sorry you still aren't feeling better. I hope it doesn't last much longer.
No, it isn't the MSG that bothers me. I think it is the oil they use.

Elisa: 2 hours in the doctor's office could raise your blood pressure (or is that what they want?) I like Japanese food, but it doesn't like me.

I have had much success on the !7 Day Diet. I went from 142 lbs. to 117 lbs. That was a year ago, and I'm only up one pound, 118...I have been sort of off and on. It is time to get serious again..just so I'll feel better. The diet certainly does work.

Feeling better today. Have a Docs appt tomorrow. Hopefully he will help.
I am mostly gluten-free. Much easier on the tummy. But have to keep an eye on nutrients.

Thanks Elisa. I have a doctor's appointment next week to talk about my levels, but I think most of this is a bad case of nerves and eating the wrong foods.

Elisa - That much time on the phone must have been mind-boggling. Hope everything was arranged to your liking.
Ready to Go Go Go!

News, Elisa. Some times everything works out, and the power of prayer is awesome. 
God bless your Dad..
keep us posted on his full recovery. 
for your dad Elisa.
time to work in the gardens before the rain comes
Tension: Dad's going in for surgery tomorrow....
Time to get moving
just as well, there was dry dog food, and dust bunnies, in the wet milk. Nice and clean now..
My youngest has come home for the summer.
I like Japanese food, but it doesn't like me.
That was a year ago, and I'm only up one pound, 118...I have been sort of off and on. It is time to get serious again..just so I'll feel better. 
Hanging in there.
Doing the happy dance. While my week went to crap, my oldest son decided he would still come up for the weekend. I haven't seen him since October.
feeling like a cranky, miserable, chubby old woman!!!
because we found out last night that my son will not be graduating on Saturday.
because the school waited until the 11:30 hour to let us know.
Ready to Go Go Go!
