No excuse, I have not been in control of diet lately and this is when I really need to be careful. Oddly enough I thought I was really eating quite sensibly, so I will have to take another look at what I am doing.

BLood pressure is still bad. I ended up in the emergency room all because I called my doctor's office at around 11pm last night and got a nurse that answered the phone after hours. I should not have listened to her when she told me to go to the ER. I spent 4 hrs there, yes my BP was extremely high but they sent me home with orders to get a heart "stress test" . They re-took an EKG which I had just had done at my doctors office about 2 months ago. I felt silly being there although my BP was dangerously high. It has been high for some time now and my doctor is working on it. The only reason I called was because my BP goes up higher at night when I am laying down, so I wanted to know if I could take another BP pill and get started taking them at night.. or could I take half a pill that evening and start taking the pills at night...all that led to a long stay in the ER. This morning my doc said, skip the pill tomorrow morning and take it around 6pm.. then keep taking it one hour later each night till I reach the 10pm that I want. I am under dr's orders not to walk, not to exercise but just eat healthy and wait for bp to come down where I can start walking again.

Not the greatest week so far, but I am still in a good mood about it all. I really am not worried.
Again, this week I will see how the not eating at night helps. Im keeping track of eating times and amount of calories eaten. trying to keep under 100 calories for one evening snack.

hope you are all doing better than me. Oh .. I forgot, they now think that my headaches (which are continuing) are not from the Blood Pressure, so we need to find out what is causing the continuing, daily headaches.

I am just entering the same weight as last time (rounded off) because I have not weighed and it is too late to weight now today. I have done horrible with diet and no exercise at all, so probably have gained weight.

HEADACHE:.. GOOD and bad news. Good news is that I do not have symptoms of brain tumor so it is unlikely that is the cause. Brain tumor has symptoms like, forgetting names of people you know well, forgetting and losing words and places, dizzy spells and things of that sort. I still have the headache constantly and it has progressed to a point that I am in tears some of the time. My doctor appt is on July 8th and he will hopefully have some answers for me. My regualr doctor set up an appointment with my ENT doctor. She thinks that he may be the one to diagnose what is going on in my head. If I need any kind of sinus surgery I am going for it asap and it will be a 6 week recovery time. I just want this headache to go away.

My night time eating is out of control again! I am sure I have gained weight because my clothes/even my pj's feel a little bit smaller. When i don't feel good I compensate with food,.specially ice cream and crackers (you know the GOOD kind of crackers).

I am going to try to get back into stopping the night time eating. We already know that is what the major problem is for some of us. I probably put as many calories into my body at night than I do all day long. Despite this headace I need to focus on not eating at night.

I hope you are all doing better and thank you for the kind words and helpful suggestions.
DENSIBLE.. I in fact do use saline solutions and a netty pot because of my allergies and things. Did you know it can actually help reduce allergy symptoms? thanks for the advice everyone

a small loss. I know I haven't been here but it is because I have not been feeling well. I have a terrible headache all the time. I thought it was a sinus headache and called my doctor for advice on what to take, she told me of an over the counter medication that would help get rid of a sinus headache. I then called a week later because it didn't have any effect. At my appointment she gave me an antibiotic to take for ten days (I am on day 5 now) and some 800 mg Ibprufin (sp?) to take. It has had no effect. The thing that has me very depressed and a little fearful is that she said the headache is not in the typical areas for sinus. I have pain around my entire head and it is worse at the very back of my head, near the spine area. Now what worries me is that she said I had a head scan a year ago for this sinus headache I had last year AND deviated septum (broken nose in my language) which I am to have surgery for this winter to help me breath better. Now doc want a new scan of my brain if the antibiotics don't work... WHY??! I am so afraid of them looking into my brain over these headaches. My mind goes immediately to a tumor or cancer. Cancer is huge in my family, we already know we have the gene that makes us more likely to get it, it hasn't escaped hardly anyone in our family and I am already a cancer survivor. I have survived a long time but now I am worried. I do not want a brain scan! It's just too scarey to think about. If I'm not better in the next 5 days I have to take this antibiotic I have to go get it done. So far at day 5 the pills have had no effect at all. My husband has been helping with fixing meals so my diet hasn't been as good as it would have been if these headaches weren't so bad that they put me down and out. I have to see what the next 5 days will bring. I quit exercising also, because it hurts my head.

I hope all of you have done better, I will go look at your journals now. Keep up the good work, I know that night time snacking is our worst enemy. I have to eat with my pills so I eating cottage cheese but its at night. hang in there.
