So Shae206's journal has me pumped and I need to vent too. LOL. I'll try not to drop the F-Bomb but I can't promise lol.
Shae mentioned Doctors insisting people who have weight and health issues need to be on meds and such to help their situation. Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, etc. I agree with her...its complete BS!
I had a situation a few months ago where my Dr. wanted to put me on a Thyroid medication as a Preventative...though my blood tests showed NO signs of a thyroid issue. In fact, my Dr told me that just going by my tests alone, I should be completely Healthy and FIT person. I do, however lack in Vitamin D which is something that runs in my family.
Anyway, I looked up the suggested Thyroid Med and online its called the "Satan Drug" because it is prescribed by drs for a preventative but causes a Thyroid Problem! So yeah I'm not taking that lol.
Now, what happened last night was upsetting. My parents, who have High Blood Sugar, take tons of meds everyday! You would think they would try to eat healthier and exercise, but no. They are 100% relying on the meds to keep them alive. This is what I struggle with while living at home. It sucks (18mos til I get hitched & move) lol. So while I'm trying to eat healthy and work out, they're eating ICE CREAM, Skipping Meals, Making High Sodium Dishes, etc.
I wish they would just try as hard as I am to get healthy, and maybe, just maybe they could get off all their meds and take it a bit more seriously.
Ugh, Sorry, I needed to vent <3 I'm striving to not have to take meds for the rest of my life..I refuse to do it...besides Vitamins of course :)
