Hello, Everyone:

I know some of you are going to have a tit fit because I started this thread. But I am sure that you will get over it after you post a few sarcastic comments.

Sorry for not posting sooner, but I was in the ER all of Friday evening. I was being tested for a minor stroke. I tried to rest all day Saturday and Sunday (of course, that is impossible with 3 small children and a husband). Now for the next 3 days, I will have to undergo a series of tests.

However, I am not going to use this as an excuse to not be compliant. My physician wanted me to start Medifast after my test. She said one thing at a time. Let see what is wrong with you first.

She even asked me again today if I was doing Medifast. I lied. Forgive me, God. She said that someone in the ER had said that I was doing Medifast.

Keep me in your prayers. This too shall pass. It is only a test.

Has anyone else been told by your physician not to go on Medifast?

Well, I am weighing in at 244.

Take care,

[MerryMary]

Hi Ruth!
First, I want to assure you of my prayers ... it must be very scary to not have answers and difficult to undergo tests. And resting with parental and household obligations can be nearly impossible. I hope you are on the road to good health and recovery soon.

Next, I would not conceal you being on MF from your doctor. While I doubt that being on MF for one week could have prompted a stroke strange things sometimes happen. I think you should be honest with the medical team so that they can make good assessments of your labs and blood work.

Sorry, but I really felt obligated to give you my two cents. Again, I pray for your speedy recovery!

Mary

Hi There,
I am soooo sorry to hear about your medical challenges. My goodness!!
I've never heard of MF causing anyone to have a stroke.. it generally lowers BP and cholesterol... but I'm not a Dr. so I don't know. I'll keep you in my prayers too!!

Ruth~ Honestly, I don't have a problem with you starting this thread ......I think......... you needed support from us on what you have been going through lately.

I hope your tests are going well. I agree with Mary.....you need to be very upfront with you doctor about being on MF. Right now, you need to take care of you.

You're in my prayers. Let us know how things are going.
