I would think that if a serious diagnosis was in question no one would let a patient interpret the test and not be without council. I am not a medical person so I may be totally off. I am thinking of you and will you will be in my thoughts and prayers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stress-much-syc-and-healthy-habits-related/page/2#post-399184 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 08:36:24 +0000 rute 399184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the ladies.. yes, you broke your healthy habits and shopping ban.. that happens to all of us! The important is.. do not feel guilty and return to your healthy habits right after!<br /> A big hub from Portugal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stress-much-syc-and-healthy-habits-related/page/2#post-399106 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 03:47:44 +0000 Freckles 399106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great for getting your MRI so quickly. Yes, it probably would be a great idea to get an appt with another neurologist to read the report in the meantime.</p> <p>Your own doc can always go over it again after he comes back from leave but you don't want to stress about the results til September. I expect he will be especially busy when he gets back too.</p> <p>Best of luck and sending many good vibes your way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stress-much-syc-and-healthy-habits-related/page/2#post-399058 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 02:26:00 +0000 chewyspaghetti 399058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jean- they told me there will be a written report to read, no interpreting, and no talking to a doctor. I can also get a DVD of the actual MRI to take to the doctor. I was surprised they would let me just pick up my own results, but it sounds like they will be pretty cut and dry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stress-much-syc-and-healthy-habits-related/page/2#post-398961 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 00:48:35 +0000 Jonesy 398961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a terrible thing to be going through, Khris! Of course you shouldn't judge yourself for thrifting a dress and eating some brownies! I hope you get some answers soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stress-much-syc-and-healthy-habits-related/page/2#post-398955 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 00:41:18 +0000 Sveta 398955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Khris, hugs! I will keep my fingers crossed for the results. Don't beat yourself up for a little slip up, it will not help anyway. This was a very small price to pay for such a stressful day!<br /> Keep us posted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stress-much-syc-and-healthy-habits-related/page/2#post-398953 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 00:36:27 +0000 greenglove 398953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Khris,<br /> I can totally relate to all of your health concerns and the stress of diagnosis. You are doing really well and take care of yourself beautifully. I think that we all beat ourselves up when we strive for perfection. You got right back on track and the brownies incident is over and done with. Enjoy the dress. That happens to me and i have learned that I just need to move on. You are under stress and you handle it very well. </p> <p>prayers and thoughts with you.</p> <p>BTW_ you should not read the results yourself- that does not sound right, how will you know how to interpret them? Maybe call a neurologist and insist on seeing one when the results are in. I would also take someone with me to take notes because you may be nervous and not remember what the doctor said. That is the advice I have been given. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stress-much-syc-and-healthy-habits-related/page/2#post-398924 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 23:48:14 +0000 chewyspaghetti 398924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have my MRI scheduled for Wednesday morning, and I should have results by Monday. But my doctor is out on a medical leave until September, so I am just picking up and reading the results myself. I think I need to find a neurologist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stress-much-syc-and-healthy-habits-related/page/2#post-398209 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 03:42:44 +0000 bj1111 398209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i'm glad you're doing better after a day...everyone needs a little freakout once in a while. how will we recognize good days if we don't have bad ones?</p> <p>good luck with the mri...keep up posted. we're here for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stress-much-syc-and-healthy-habits-related/page/2#post-398200 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 03:23:22 +0000 Kari 398200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Khris, I think this type of situation, particularly when you have been as diligent long-term at your SYC and Healthy Habits as you have, is totally called for. You may have indulged in a tiny bit of food and retail therapy, but you didn't blow your budget on a shopping spree or eat an entire birthday cake. I say give yourself a little leeway as you're dealing with so many stressors.</p> <p>I'm so sorry to hear about your ongoing health concerns and struggle with the bureaucracy of insurance providers. Ugh. Wishing you all the best and hoping that you are soon in better health, or at least with more answers/solutions. I'll keep you in my thoughts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stress-much-syc-and-healthy-habits-related/page/2#post-398161 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 02:42:23 +0000 bella 398161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big hugs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stress-much-syc-and-healthy-habits-related#post-398103 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 01:41:29 +0000 Lisa 398103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you are doing better. *hugs* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stress-much-syc-and-healthy-habits-related#post-398101 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 01:39:57 +0000 Angie 398101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you're doing better, Khris. Take care and rest up that hand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stress-much-syc-and-healthy-habits-related#post-398056 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 00:48:19 +0000 chewyspaghetti 398056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies. I am feeling a little better today. I got up and hit the pool for Aqua class before heading to the park, which made me feel really good. It was a very small group today, so there were more intimate conversations going on, which was also nice and helpful. I cut my hand on a can of pumpkin yesterday (dd's cooking skills do not include properly opening a can with a can opened apparently), so I am trying not to type much, but I am doing ok. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stress-much-syc-and-healthy-habits-related#post-398014 Thu, 04 Aug 2011 23:54:32 +0000 tarzy 398014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on moving forward through a very scary time! If it takes brownies, so be it. Stay strong. You can face this. It may involve more brownies. That's perfectly okay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stress-much-syc-and-healthy-habits-related#post-397950 Thu, 04 Aug 2011 21:53:06 +0000 Aida 397950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>**hugs** I hope today was better for you, and that you had a good Yoga .. session? (what's that called?) Do we get to see the pretty dress you thrifted? I say pretty because, well, I know that you have excellent taste </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stress-much-syc-and-healthy-habits-related#post-397773 Thu, 04 Aug 2011 18:21:50 +0000 Marley 397773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Kris - that is just too much for one person to handle in one day. I am so sorry that you are going through all of this - the MRI itself is stressful, not to mention the possible diagnosis - and then add on the totally screwed health insurance system which makes us even more stressed! and of COURSE you are going to turn to old coping behaiviors. Do not worry about the dress or the brownies - its NO BIG DEAL in the overall scheme of things. You know that they are the symptoms of the extreme amount of stress that you are under - and perhaps next time (or perhaps not!) you will catch yourself before you actually act out those behaivors and instead will drive straight to Yoga class instead. Just be very compassionate to yourself - treat yourself with kindness and love and hang in there. Sending you hugs and love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stress-much-syc-and-healthy-habits-related#post-397706 Thu, 04 Aug 2011 16:56:54 +0000 Anonymous 397706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep hanging there! Don't beat yourself up! You're only human. And some poor brownies are just a well deserved break.<br /> @Sarah : "When I started focusing on health, I quickly realized that I shifted my eating binging to shopping binging!" -I did THE SAME! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stress-much-syc-and-healthy-habits-related#post-397705 Thu, 04 Aug 2011 16:55:12 +0000 crwilson 397705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely binge shop and eat when I'm feeling stressed, knowing the whole time that it won't really make me feel better in the end. Try to be as gentle with yourself as you would be with a dear friend who just did the same thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stress-much-syc-and-healthy-habits-related#post-397697 Thu, 04 Aug 2011 16:52:14 +0000 Barbara 397697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Khris, once in a while retail/goodies therapy IS necessary. And yes, there is a connection with stress. It does sound like you do have a good grip on reality though. </p> <p>Wishing you well with all you're going through. </p> <p>*HUG* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stress-much-syc-and-healthy-habits-related#post-397691 Thu, 04 Aug 2011 16:30:19 +0000 marianna 397691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, Khris. Sending you lots of positive vibes.</p> <p>Ps: How many brownies did you eat? As Queen Binge and Queen of Emotional Eating, I would have polished off the whole container, so you're probably still in okay shape comparatively. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stress-much-syc-and-healthy-habits-related#post-397656 Thu, 04 Aug 2011 15:45:14 +0000 Aunty 397656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Khris, you do what makes you feel good and do not feel bad. You are doing great.<br /> Sending big HUGS x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stress-much-syc-and-healthy-habits-related#post-397649 Thu, 04 Aug 2011 15:38:24 +0000 Freckles 397649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A little bump in the road. Big cyberhugs.</p> <p>I do the same with both eating and shopping.</p> <p>Good luck with the MRI. Hopefully the results will give you a diagnosis. Trudging along without a diagnosis is so frustrating after a few years. I can comiserate with you there. One good thing about the Canadian health care system is that the doc books MRI's. I'm going for one next week but it is only for my back to see about degenerating discs and stuff, not stressful.</p> <p>How about going to a farmer's market this week and getting some really gorgeous fruits and vegetables if that is not your regular routine. For some strange reason that always cheers me up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stress-much-syc-and-healthy-habits-related#post-397255 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 21:57:42 +0000 Katja 397255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope it's not MS (although if it is, it can be a huge relief just to KNOW).

I hope with all my heart that it isn't MS! (My mom had it).<br /> I head for dark chocolate when stressed, even to the point of spoonfuls of Hershey's syrup if that's all there is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stress-much-syc-and-healthy-habits-related#post-397228 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 20:56:28 +0000 Di 397228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely binge shop when I'm stressed.

You're human. Heck I've been eating extra salted caramels lately. Just think it was only one dress and brownies.
