I have a very minimal prescription which I don't take all of the time (just when I am bloated) and within two or three days, I'm back to my usual non-bloated (but still fat, hehe) self. <BR/><BR/>It might be something to consider short-term if it is really bothering you. Mine was beginning to cause pain in my feet which is the only reason I ended up going to meds. However... I'm back home for good next week (thank God!) and I'll be able to be active again and hopefully won't need the meds.... <BR/><BR/>But - i do like all of your suggestions and the massuesse.... do you REALLY need the excuse of water retention to go?? :D You should do that anyways if you can :)<BR/><BR/>I'll be listening to the MP3 on the way home this weekend and back on Monday morning... I've been too crazy busy but - will let you know what I think shortly! Only one more week of school :) <BR/><BR/>Ciao bella!anjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03338423904024230539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11845375.post-38518085153589581002007-08-01T18:19:00.000-07:002007-08-01T18:19:00.000-07:00I'm sure you'll get through, although I can imagin...I'm sure you'll get through, although I can imagine it won't be easy. You've obviously done your best to be as educated as possible about what's going on and I hope it goes well for you.jbmmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00927258693590828523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11845375.post-60029995126777585862007-08-01T08:18:00.000-07:002007-08-01T08:18:00.000-07:00I agree with your friend up there, I love your rea...I agree with your friend up there, I love your reasoning and your determination and positivity.

It's the not feeling in charge that bothers most of us!!!! <BR/><BR/>When one doesn't feel in charge, it sort of throws one in the victim mentality that is so harmful!<BR/><BR/>Yet, by doing what you did -taking steps to control of a situation (without over correcting) we can reduce the symptoms of ANY bad situation... sure is better than giving up!<BR/><BR/>This is a tough subject! and I love your reasoning :) Grazie :)Roam2Romehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02401312681510618547noreply@blogger.com
