Gina, I was SO happy to hear you sound so good! Thats great about the talk with your hubby, I know thinking negative is one of my problems too, I will do what you do and think positive. Today has not been to good, I feel very weak and tired I slept so little last night worrying and worrying about my heart and everything else. I am praying for both of us. God bless, Debbie.

Hello all, Just a little comment about the Valerian. I used to take it and I found that it did work, smells horrible though! I have found that a lot of natural medicines are not meant to be taken if you are on prescription medicine so it is VERY important that you run it by your doctor first before taking anything if you are on meds. In the end I switched to taking meds, tried all the natural stuff and while some of it did work it turned out to be very expensive and the meds I take are quite cheap so in the end a lot of it came down to cost and the meds work just as well if not better than the natural stuff for me!

Hey Debbie - sorry, it's not Gina. I just wanted to mention some advice since you mentioned you are trying to quit smoking. Kudos to you by the way!! I quit smoking cold turkey six years ago and the only thing that got me through was telling myself every single day that if I picked up another cigarette I would have to go through what I went through the day before all over again. Every day is easier than the day before. It's still very hard but just remember that if you smoke, you'll have to go through it all over again. So, take it one day at a time and remember that the next day will be better than what you are going through that particular day. One day at a time! Good luck!! Let us know how it goes!!

Dear Gina, I am sorry you are having a bad day. I bet alot of it is because of the hurricane that missed us, the media hypes it so bad and just keeps going on and on about it till everyone is scared to death! Your anxiety is probably high because of it, it will go down. You mentioned you bought "Valerian" I know you are on Xanax, please check with your Doctor before you take that, I have read it acts like a benzo {Xanax} it could interact and make you too sedated, I heard valerian is good for anxiety and helps you sleep better, but check first because of the Xanax just in case I want you to be alright. I am trying to quit smoking its SO hard, I have been having chest pain and heart palps and I know its mostly because I have been smoking like a fiend!! I have only had 3 today down from a pack and a half. Let me know how you are doing, please check before you take valerian with Xanax I think its just one or the other I just worry about you! Write when you can. God bless, Debbie.
