[QUOTE="SHBailey, post: 1865751, member: 89387"] Glad to hear that you survived your "evaluation" (politically correct term for unnecessary hassle :roll: ). Too bad they have to make your condition worse just to satisfy themselves that you have it. Sorry to hear that you had so much trouble with the salivary gland thing -- that sounds really painful. Probably something like having the mumps? Anyway, I hope it's better by now. And BTW, although I understand that you have lots of issues that require you to be on a special diet (gluten free, etc.) I hate to see them prescribe weight loss for you, because I've come to believe that doctors who try to get their patients to go on a "diet" to lose weight are violating their oath to "do no harm," although the majority of them don't realize it because that's what they teach them in medical school. Dieting to lose weight is a good way to develop an eating disorder, and that's the last thing you need. It can also cause weight gain in the long run -- even though you may lose weight for a while, most people end up gaining it all back and then some. Voice of experience here -- if I hadn't started dieting when I was about half the age that you are now, I might not have ended up as fat as I am, or at least I wouldn't have suffered as much as I did. As for diabetes, I'm not so sure that being fat or losing weight can really make much of a difference -- it's probably more genetic than anything else. I guess that one got me started, so I suppose I need to get off my soapbox now. If you want to know more, I suggest you google "HAES" (Health At Every Size) -- the main idea is that it's okay to be fat, and that the focus for improving your health should not be on weight loss for its own sake. So you really do have a pet wasp after all, huh? Someone to help out with the bugs that your carnivorous plants have a hard time with. :) Sounds like Broly really likes his carrots -- enough to blackbeard at you if he thinks he's not getting his fair share. That is funny. :lol: Puff is back to not liking greens anymore now that he's gained back the weight he lost. Apparently they only taste good to him when he's mortally hungry. :roll: Hi Beardymama -- sorry to hear that Draconis took a fall. I hope he wasn't seriously injured -- as long as nothing was broken and if it's just sprains and/or bruises, he can probably recover with your care at home. And yeah -- emergency room visits for pets are getting almost as bad as for humans -- major $$$. :shock: You can probably modify the way things are arranged in his enclosure so that he's less likely to take another bad fall, if you haven't done so already. When we first got Puff, he fell off his basking platform a couple of times (he's really quite the little klutz), so we ended up stuffing towels between the platform and the sides of the tank so that now he has no place to fall where he won't more or less land on something soft. I also get a kick out of the so-called experts who will tell you to mix up your beardie's salad or hide the foods they like under the ones they don't like so they get a variety. Most beardies are more than capable of picking out their favorites. :wink: Interesting take on ADHD. I've often wondered if I might have a little touch of that, or even of autism, or if it's just "cyclothymia" or "bipolar type 2." They've never been able to get a good diagnosis, but I know that I don't have the "hyperactivity" component, because I'm a world class couch potato. (If couch potatoing were a sport, I'd win trophies :mrgreen: ) I gave up on trying to find a "cure" a long time ago -- medications and psychotherapy either make me crazier than I already am or they don't work at all. No need for anyone to apologize to me for TLDRs -- I've seen worse, even posted some of them myself. Like this one, as a matter of fact... :oops: [/QUOTE]
