Hi lol,

Your's worked beautiful cj!!! lol good job! A for the day for both of ya!
I even see your smiley faces at the bottom of ur msg.

You wouldn't believe the pills I take, arrrggghhhh What are you wanting to take omega fish oil and cq10 for? if i may ask :blob_fire For a vitamin I take prenatal vitamins lol the pharmacist told me that was the best one to take for what I wanted. It has the D 400 u in it as I read in an article you shold take it...helps with BC; for my cholesterol I use "Red Yeast Rice" which is awweome and it has the CQ10 in it but you have to make sure u get the right bottle, one doesn't have the CQ10 in it. Crestor for prophalaxix for my kidneys cuz of my diabetes, lexapro for my depression-coping; arimidex :) ;
3 senekot for you know what (hahahaha) Then for my diabetes I take 2 pills and one shot twice a day. And guess what my shot is made from? you will never guess lolol ---------------------------------------> gila monster ---------->spit! lololol. Honest! (is that TMI? lol)

I don't care for tea actually. My gf in calif sent me some tea that is suppose to be good for CA but it tastes like do-do :mad: Do you shop at a Hi Health type store for your extas? Thats where I go.

Ok I won't write a long one this time, I've gotten carried away here. I'll do better :blob_fire.

Hey Teresa & Cj,

Teresa, which one are you talking about that has estrogen properties??? I don't think I need any estrogen properties. I think you should read up on red yeast rice before you buy any, okay? Let me know what you think about it before you buy it.

My doc wanted me to quit the red yeast rice (he's the one that recommended it to me in the first place) because he felt it would be too much med for my cholesterol cuz he wanted me to start Omega-3.

When I read about red yeast rice here are some of the side effects it mentioned...

Side effects of red yeast rice are rare but can include:

Headache
Stomach ache and/or bloating
Gas
Dizziness
Heartburn

The Hi Health store I go to said there are no side-effects cuz its an herb.
Right now I take Crestor 5 mg. and 2 capsules of red yeast rice a day. Do you guys use omega-3? Then with Arimidex increasing our cholesterol were kind of stuck between a rock and a hard spot???? Ya take a pill for one thing and it creates a problem for something else. What a vicious circle. Now that i'm thinking about it my onc doc mentioned how "something' increases your cholesterol cuz mine was elevated during chemo. Thats it...chemo decreased the effects of my meds is what she was talking about. I remember now. I think I'll read up on Omega-3 and crestor and see which one sounds the best.

I just read a little and crestor has the same risk as the Lipitor I went off had.with muscle pains and aches. I wonder if the leg pain I've been having is related but you would think it would be in both legs? This pain has been bothering me since after I started the Arimidex tho on 12/18/06. It also says that risk factors include people on anti-hypertensive meds which I am on for prophalaxix for my kidneys because of my diabetes. I should dump all my meds except for my arimidex and diabetic and blood pressure meds. Hmmm will have to think about it. I have to have blood work in am so might wait and see what it says. I'm sure my docs don't know that arimidex elevates cholesterol. I'll see what they say about it first. My cholesterol was below 200 prior to being diagnosed with BC.

Well sorry just thinking out loud lol. Hey man I just watched this spooky movie called Slither......ewwwwwwwww you should see it lololol. Not alone though :blob_fire Hopefully I can sleep tonite lol.

Well take care. Enjoy your lunch tomorrow Cj :) sounds fun!

Nite nite you two and everyone else :)
Hugs,
Linda
