Praying for your health. Praying that the house is really sold. (Even praying that X get his head out of his... well I had to use better words but I am praying for him for your D's sake).
How's are the dizzy spells? lack of oxygen and good sleep kicks one's butt big time.
For much of my life I have had sleep apneia but it wasn't diagnosed until I was an adult. (basically I would never get deep sleep because I would stop breathing dozens upon dozens of times in my sleep and would sometimes wake up choking, even as a kid).
Something came to mind about breathing and getting good oxygen into our blood stream. Years ago I listened to a Tony Robbins CD set and came accross a bonus CD about health and the lymph system. The suppportive data he gave seemed very sound and so I tried doing the breathing exercise he recommended and it was very helpful in improving alertness and even waking me up when I was drowsy (like during a boring 3.5 hour MBA class or driving home late at night after a very long day).
I have a breathing aparatus I use at night to help me get the proper kind of sleep but sometimes I will fall asleep without using it or movement in the middle of the night may cause the hose to disconnect either of which results in interupted sleep, lack of oxygen etc. When this happens, I often resort to using the following breathing technique to help me the next day. (Others who swear by yoga and other meditative exercises get a similar benefit of deep breathing techiques).
For what it is worth, here are two sites that give some info (though not with all the supporting data that was on the Robbins CD)
This is so weird you posted this C2, on my way home from the store just now I was thinking how I have to get on my tread mill and wondering why the other day, i got tired so soon, My dr. said there should be no reason,,well apart from the obvius, and I remember my BF asked me do you breath right? I said what??
I realize I grit my teeth and take shallow breaths!! and wondering how I can learn to breath right! This is great!!!
Oh this is sooo not all about me, sorrh LOL just so excited! Breath, Breath

C2, thanks for the info. I'll definitely check it out. And....thanks for the prayers too. I believe I'm closing on my house Thurs. All my stuff is finally out and I went over today and cleaned (not that it needed much as I haven't lived there in a year).
After not having a dizzy spell in over a week, I've felt dizzy most of today. I HATE THIS!!! MG thinks it's all stress related so we'll see if it all goes away while on my cruise cuz I sure won't be suffering from stress then!!!
Karen, you're a dork, tho, my very favorite dork. Now, breathe!!!! Sounds like you're loving your tred!!!!
I'm sorry you had another dizzy spell, but I think MG may be right, think about it, the last time you had one when you were at the house moving stuff right? then you go over there today and....... just sayin
Don't forget its Bach night
Be Happy for this Moment, This Moment is your Life
Jill, You might want to try Yoga or Pilates, both are very focused on proper breathing. I am not an expert, but I know there is one style of Yoga that is almost exclusively breathing exercises.

Is your BP ok? I know we talked about this before but I was really dizzy the day my BP skyrocketed and I was hospitalized. Please get a BP monitor and check it 3 times a day to be sure. I had never had high BP before that I was aware of. In hindsite - I probably did.
I care that you are OK. Who would I have to hang with at my cottage party this summer if you're not?
Stay on top of this, sweetie.
Glad you are saying goodbye to your house. Isn't that a great feeling?
Thursday it is! Also, maybe Karen is on to something about having a episode as you finish up at your house?
As for your cruise, the only stress will come from choosing from all the differet foods to eat. Oh that and maybe what "sailing" game you are gonna play at night... "Pirates and maidens" "Love Boat" "Stranded on a desert Island" etc. You know Pirate MG is gonna want your booty.
Ah, to be young and to frolic on the high seas!
Hey Jewls, it is good to be seen
(Karen don't be so hard on yourself, think about it, when did anyone ever teach us "how to breathe?" huh? The Doctor gave us a slap on the rear and said, "breathe or you'll get another" and that was it!)

Awww, thanks, y'all for caring. I love you all to pieces!!!
I close on my house Thurs and it really does seem like a weight's been lifted off my shoulders. All my stuff is out, the house is clean, I'll never have to shovel snow or rake leaves again. Halleleulah!!!!
Tom, I love pilates!!! However, my gym only has 1 or 2 classes a week. Which, now that I'm done with this house business, I plan on getting back in there after my vacation. I'll be doing a lot of snorkeling, swimming, walking, climbing and frolicing (wink wink) while I'm gone.
K, my blood pressure has always been very low. My doc says I'll probably live forever, tho, it hasn't seemed that way lately.
Anyhow, I "really am" feeling good from my head to my shoes" Know where I'm going and I know what to do. I've sharpened up my point of view... I've got a new attitude!!!!
So put on your butt lights, thongs, tube socks and dance everyone!!!!
I am so up for dancing! I am putting on the "disco ball" butt light and pulling out the 70's and 80's classic playlist on my ipod!
Oooh, you have never seen A guy "Shake His Groove Thing" until you've seen me on my bike, disco ball spinnin', strobe "butt" light flashing, arms waving etc. I have way too much fun
"There's nothing more I'ld like to do than take the floor and dance with you keep dancin' just keep dancin' Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing..."
