Welcome, @milstarr, to the herd of Meh scapegoats. May your reign be goaty, or something.
Thank you for the warm welcome and cute goat photo. I’m ready to accept all blame in this thread.
UNBLAME: About ten days ago, I figured out that the Rosuvastatin I’d been prescribed in late March was the cause of the shortness of breath, deep depression, tiredness, dizziness, confusion, and faulty short-term memory that had been plaguing me since I started that med. It had literally turned me into a nonfunctional wreck physically and emotionally. Once I snapped to the cause, I ditched that crap and found RELIEF!!! immediately.
I had objected to being prescribed a statin for a couple of years at that point, solely on the basis of my own observation that it messed with short-term memory in most of the people I knew who were taking it, but nobody had the suite of ill effects I was experiencing.
I will note that at least one public-interest group has petitioned for Rosuvastatin’s FDA approval to be withdrawn. I don’t know if that’s warranted, but I cannot refute any of their assertions based on my own personal experience.
@werehatrack Yay a blame for Rosuvastatin and not me!
But seriously, glad you figured out what was the cause of your symptoms. I’d rather have high cholesterol than depression and memory loss. Wait, I have those already. Or do I? I can’t remember.
So a little about your current goat. I have one 25 year old son. I have one husband. I have 2 dogs that split time between my house and my sons house. I no longer work outside of the home. Lately I’ve been selling off my doll collection (not the creepy horror movie type, the Barbie fashion model size and type). I’ve been doing that to get money to go visit my friends. My best friends live far away from me. (Thus the need for luggage. lol) I will be spending July in Brazil with a friend. I still can’t believe I’m going to be a guest in someones home for that long. She says she wants me to stay there. She’s quite excited. I plan to be on my best behavior. However if I get kicked out early, I’ll blame the July scapegoat.
Fun fact: I grew up on family land and we had a herd of goats. I love them! I wish I had two mini goats. I really think they would slip under the HOAs radar.
Fun Fact 2: I’ve always lived in Florida.
FF3: I used to work at EPCOT at Disney World. I worked at the land pavillion on the boat ride through experimental greenhouses. It was the most fun I’ve ever had at a job.
That’s probably more than you care to know so I’ll stop now.
@milstarr Very cool about visiting Brazil! I was there quite a while ago, staying with my husband’s brother & his Brazilian wife. It was pretty amazing.
This is the type of dolls I collected and am now getting rid of because I gave birth to a son that isn’t interested in playing with my dolls.
@milstarr that is stunning. My niece would lose her mind
@tinamarie1974 Some of the dolls the creative people make are exquisite. This doll is one of a kind (OOAK) made for competition. She won her category.
