Hi! Its me GIGGLES


well it looks like i will def. NOT be going back OTR....EVER. i went to ER Tues. been feeling like i was havin a heart attack...for about 2 wks. Finally the pain was so bad, went to ER. They determined that my chest wall is inflammed due to stress. this mimicks a heart attack. its very painful, and hard to breath. they put me on anti inflammatory med. to help reduce the swelling. i am better, but still have chest pain and difficulty breathing if i walk across the room. it feels like a heart attack every so often. it was pretty scary to say the least. the pain was horrible .they also during my chest x ray found a possible pulmonary nodule (cyst/tumor)...i am telling all of this on here because y'all NEED to take care of yourselves....truckin is such and unhealthy lifestyle....i mean yeah, there are things that can make it better....but as a team who ran hard, we didnt take care of ourselves. i hope y'all do, so you dont find yourselves in this situation, or worse. the least little thing, (shower, walk across the room, get upset , laying down or bending makes the pain worse too) my heart feels like it is being squeezed out of my chest...if i talk to long...LOL (me,talk to much???) it hurts....y'all TAKE BETTER CARE please!!! i could go on, but hopefully i have made my point!!!
 
Hang in there, Giggles. I know that condition can be very painful, but with medication and rest, you'll be surprised how good you feel after a while.

Good Luck
 
Yes, you made your point. It can be tough to stay motivated about staying away from the greasy cheeseburgers and enormous doughnuts, but I look around at other drivers who can barely walk, and I know I never want to be that way. The ones who aren't taking care of themselves are my motivation to take care of myself. Sure, I like junk food, but I also like being able to move.

And I hope you take the warning and do a better job of taking care of yourself from now on. With the right choices, a lot of damage can be reversed. Our bodies have a remarkable ability to heal themselves. We only need to give them the right tools.
 
i dont know where to put this....so i will put it here...i dont believe in carrying info from here to the other forum or vice versa....but they have a gal on there asking if she should ride topless or not....and of course all the dogs in heat have come out of the woodwork...makes me sick

If you don`t believe in it then why do it here now, you weren`t happy until they moved it, then they put it back to where it was, and then it was locked. Besides, you seemed to be the only one happy that they locked it. You didn`t have to voice your opinion on it but you did.:headscratch:
