INVERSION TABLE UPDATE

Posted on November 29, 2016

(UPDATE FOR MY FAMILY WHO AREN'T IN MY CHALLENGES)

Hi Everybody!!!

Sorry I was MIA. Wasn't feeling that great after using the inversion table...

11/29/16 - Today is a good day, and I'm feeling okay, so here's my update: I tried the inversion table for 2 days but had to stop because my blood pressure went through the roof!!! I used the table Friday evening, and I noticed that my blood pressure was slightly elevated. I didn't think too much about it, but on Saturday AM, I wasn't feeling that great (had slight pain in my chest). so I took my pressure. It was 191/97, and it wouldn't break (kept fluctuating between that and 188/91). I contemplated going to the ER, but I just took it easy and stayed in bed all day hoping it would go down. It eventually went back to normal early Sunday AM. My pressure has been normal since I started taking BP meds a few years ago, but when I saw how quickly my pressure skyrocketed and wouldn't go down, that scared me enough to not want to get on that inversion table again....

Although I had only used the table twice, I did get some relief from my back pain (not too much, but I noticed some improvement). I'm able to walk around the house for a few minutes before having to sit down - Now that's an improvement!!! LOL!!!

Unfortunately, I have to return it. Gonna have to find another way to get some back pain relief. Heart health comes first!!! LOL!!!

Since my back isn't hurting too much, I'm gonna see if I can at least get in a minimum of 5,000 steps today. I need to get back into the swing of things. If my back starts hurting too much, I'll sit my HAPPY TAIL DOWN!!! LOL!!!

Have a Terrific Tuesday Everybody!!! :-)

Hi, Adrienne. Sorry that your inversion table didn't work out. Good luck with getting in 5,000 steps/Day. I've been going to physical therapy twice per week since 11/14/2016. I had an appointment with a Pain Specialist today; however, she opted not to give me an injection for pain since I was not experiencing any pain at the time and also because my physical therapy seems to be working. My current weight is 152.3 lbs. My goal is to weigh 145 lbs by 12/31/2016. My ULTIMATE weight-loss goal remains 137 lbs!!! I don't know WHEN I'll get there, BUT I know THAT I'll get there!!! I'll keep you posted of my progress, buddy. You keep doing your thing because I can't WAIT to see you "get your sexy back"!!! ;)

Hi Erica!!! I was sorry the table didn't work out too. It did help somewhat because I was able to get in over 5,000+ steps today!!! It has been a long time since I've been able to walk, & I am sooo grateful I was able to do so. I didn't let a little back pain stop me!!! LOL!!! Whenever my back would start hurting, I'd sit down for a little while, & then when I felt better, I'd get up & start walking again. I'm gonna try to do it again tomorrow. I'm glad physical therapy is helping you. It really hasn't helped me, but I still go because I get a therapeutic massage afterwards. That massage always feels REAL GOOD!!! LOL!!! I hope you continue feeling better with every treatment. :-) Erica, I can understand how you feel regarding your gain, but girl, you've lost the weight before, & you're gonna do it again. I see 137 in your near future!!! GOOO ERICA GOOO!!! YOU CAN & WILL DO IT!!! Keep on doing your thang mamacita!!! I'm gonna keep on doing mine!!! Girl, we're gonna get OUR SEXY BACK!!! YEAH!!! :-)

Hi Adrienne! I hope all is well. This is my first post ever. :) I am also sorry that your back 'bothers' you. I've been having back pain as well and considered the inversion table. Now I may consider something else -- thanks to your post.

Hi Adrianne, I'm sorry your back keeps giving you fits. You poor thing. Walking works. Just get done as much as you can. It's impressive that you're still participating and that you're determined. I'm pulling for you!
