how to get tested for gad?

i think i have gad (generalized anxiety disorder). i was wondering, how do you know if you have gad? do doctors take a blood test of some sort, or is it just the symptoms that recognize that you have the disorder?

Need advice on how to talk to my mom about this?

A few days ago I realized I showed all the symptoms for GAD(Generalized Anxiety Disorder) and SAD (Social Anxiety Disorder).I took tests on it,read articles about it,watched videos on it. I could say I’m 100% sure about it but that would be false.I’m not sure until I know from a doctor. I want to tell my mom but I’m sure she will laugh at me. Plus,we don’t really have the money. But I need help. I’m glad that there may be a reason for my problems.I’m glad that I may be able to get help.I’m just worried that people in my family will treat me differently.I’m worried that my mom won’t help me.

Btw,if this helps:
My mom is in school to be a nurse.She is graduating in May 2011

Hypochondriac question really?

I fainted when I was pregnant [almost 2 yrs ago] & have been dizzy ever since. Now, I’m having difficulty breathing- & heart issues [which every heart test has come back normal- so they've ruled it as anxiety]

originally they passed the original passing out [which I did- twice in a row- my husband doesnt know if i stopped breathing or not- first he said yes then no then he couldnt remember- he tapped my face to get me back- & i had just come out of a hot shower with no food early in the morning] they ruled it as low iron- but my iron was fine the same day at the doctor then they ruled it as hormones.

well now im still dizzy- & theyve passed all the heart tests & called me with Panic Disorder & Generalized Anxiety Disorder.

they said id know if i had a head injury by now

are you inadequate if you feel easily intimidated at times?

im 32 and faced a few traumas, misfortunes throughout my life – i have had long standing ‘ severe ‘ anxiety problems for many years , even though ive been diagnosed with personality disorders – im trying to get an independent psychiatric test to see if i have co existing anxiety disorders, the disorders i suspect are ; ptsd – ocd and generalised anxiety disorder.

my symptoms are ; paranoia that society is socially persecuting me, alienating me and ostracising me – racing thoughts and obsessive worries everyday , rapid mood swings to deep depressions and severe anxious thoughts and worries , severe anger , difficulty controlling it . agoraphobia , panic and bad anxiety relating to going outside , hyper alert and paranoia when outside , Dissociation – feeling detached when outside .

those are my main symptoms even though ive made a lot of progress in the years.

for a long while ive felt an unfriendly atmosphere at times from people outside, in supermarkets or other public settings , funny , cold unfriendly looks , stand-offish behaviour – something i cant put my finger on why its happening …

i could understand it many years ago when i used to struggle with angry outbursts and an angry demeanor – but that was many, many years ago , and i lived in other areas then.

and i feel this attitude / behaviour by people in society is still going on – supermarket workers , members of the public etc.

i cant understand why it could be happening , im quiet , reserved , mind my own business, try to be civil and courteous to the people i come into contact with – i dont look out of the ordinary or stand out – im white , dress how i want , i wear old clothes , hooded tops, jeans – cant afford new clothes right now because i live on disability payment , 6ft tall . – im the sort of person who doesn’t follow society trends , if i dont have good clothes , ill go out wearing what i want , even if its scruffy.

my point is i dont behave out of the ordinary, dont look out of the ordinary except for my clothing – im quite self conscious because of my paranoia but i try to ignore it , i might appear uneasy in public or aloof myself . –

but i do try with people, to be civil etc – respect society’s rules , be friendly –

but i get these attitudes from people at times still and it does make me feel quite intimidated , which causes me to feel inadequate because i try to ignore anything negative outside.

anyone know how best to deal with it ?

Are antideppressants bad for you?

im 32 now , i was diagnosed with different personality disorders by different doctors years ago, im also pursuing a separate, independent psychiatric test because i know i have co existing anxiety disorders : OCD , PTSD and generalised anxiety disorders.

i have most of the symptoms for each, but more the ptsd and generalised anxiety disorder, if i have these disorders i feel its important for them to be diagnosed and recognised, so im pursuing a separate psychiatric test.

i was put on an anti depressant months ago by my psychiatrist and i have to say, its helped me quite a lot with the depressed , empty moods i get , but not fully.

i saw and heard reports recently that psychiatric medication can cause a lot of damage to the brain and body….causing diseases in the brain, can rot the brain.

this news worried me a lot, is this the case ? am i safe to continue taking my anti depressant medications ?

Sometimes when I have panic attacks, I start to wheeze uncontrollably. I do have asthma, and I was wondering can fear set of asthma? I was diagnosed with asthma 2 weeks ago and I don’t really know too much about it. Sorry.

How do you cure yourself of reoccuring Panic Attacks?

I have had 4 major panic attacks this year since my brother passed way. I have anxiety usually everyday. Doc gave me paxil and buspar but its not fixing the problem. What are panic attacks caused by and how do I get rid of them? I’ve always been outgoing and very strong and now Im not at all! Help!

What causes panic attacks?

i have been waking up with panic attacks. It was the most horrible thing i have ever experienced. I felt very dizzy and faint and thought i was going to die. What should i do if this happens again. It really frightens me. please help.

How can i stop having panic attacks caused by homework??

Ok…i have a LOT of homework. Problem is I really wanna finish it but i cant.

I get so overwhelmed (especially from AP physics) that i cant focus…i literally eat my nails off, and start panicking. Pretty soon…i start pacing, trying to think of a problem. However…i CANT, all can think about is how much homework i have!! I get so stressed…these have to be panic attacks.

is there anything i can do to calm down and get through my homework?

Can panic attacks cause excess levels of catecholamines in urine tests?

Can panic attacks cause excess levels of catecholamines in urine tests?

I realise that excess levels may indicate a hormone or adrenaline disorder, but in simple, plain panic attacks/panic disorder – is this likely to raise catecholamine levels?

what medications are used to treat social anxiety disorder?

i think i have social anxiety disorder, i have an eating disorder, and i think i have depression.
i told my mom about the depression and she didn’t believe me.
only thing she worries about is my weight, since i don’t eat much and am still trying to lose weight (i’m 95lbs)
are there any medications for social anxiety disorder i can buy from a drugstore?
and i don’t feel comfortable talking to my doctor about this

when my doctor got worried about my weight loss, my mom made an excuse that i was walking more with her, even though when we left and i asked her why, she said she didn’t want them to think i was crazy
i asked my mom to take me to therapy or something, cause i used to cut, and if i get really upset now, i just don’t eat or snap a rubber band on my wrist (i usually welt a lot but it’s better than cutting)
but it’s been 2 years now (i asked when i was 12, and i’m 14 now)

is there any ways to help ease an anxiety disorder without medication?

I took an online quiz, which I know isn’t as nearly accurate as a doctor but alot of the symptoms of which they asked have applied to me. Such as feelings dizzy or and an abnormaly high heart beat. I’m such a worrier but I thought that was just the way I am, but I really think its something more serious then that. I’m going to get this checked out by a doctor but in the meantime do you know of any home remedies or over the counter medicines that can help me with this? Thanks it would be greatly appreciated

I have Bipolar and Social Anxiety Disorder. What is the best medications to treat both?

what was you taking ?

Why am I Experiencing Joint Pain,Muscle Weakness and Shaking?

I have been to A and E and been told my heart is fine, blood tests fine, urine fine,EKG fine,chest x ray fine, blood pressure fine.

My main symptom is muscle weakness and feeling myself shaking and quivering.

Its usually when i am up doing stuff like housework. I don’t faint or pass out, but i feel like i could if i didn’t stop and rest/take breaks.

Sometimes I Feel a Little Dizzy and Disorientated.

I do have a history of mental health/Generalized Anxiety Disorder/Bipolar

Its not diabetes or hypoglycemia. I’ve been keeping a close eye on my blood sugar.

The best way I can describe the shaky/weak feeling is.. if you don’t eat all day or are very very scared.

Also my muscles are hurting and throbbing and occasionally I have twitching.

I’m scared that I will literally just keel over and die. I know something is very wrong.
I’m Definitely Not Withdrawing from Anything. It’s more Like the Actual Strain of Doing Normal Everyday Stuff is too Much for My Body to Handle.

I have Schizophrenia and now my friend wants to “Copy” me. :-/?

Hi there,

I have a long history of being a Mental Health System User with the Mental Health Services since ChildHood. I had a lot of Psychological problems after being abused at age 4 by a Family Friend. At age 13, I was diagnosed with Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (BorderLine P/D) or B/P/D. This was changed last year to Paranoid Schizophrenia as with my history of hearing ‘The Voices’ and seeing Demon’s and Satan and my new Psychiatrist felt that my original diagnosis was COMPLETELY wrong and it was changed. My other diagnosis’s are: O.C.D, Uni-Polar Depression, Generalised Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Self Mutilation Disorder and Insomnia/Hypersomnia along with Chronic Asthma and Moderate Mobility Problems.

Anyway, I get quite a substantial amount of money through Benefits that currently go into my Mother’s Bank Account as she is out of work and only gets £400.00 herself. I get £1,100.00 from Incapacity Benefit (With ‘Age Addition’), Income Support Premiums: Disability, Severe Disability and Enhanced Disability and Disability Living Allowance: High Rate (CARE) and Low Rate (MOBILITY).

Anyway, to get to the point. My friend says he doesn’t see why he should have to work £40 hours (P/Week) to get paid £950.00 when I get what I do for nothing. His exact words were “You’re on to a good crack and I want some”. This left me lost for words because what he doesn’t seem to realise is I’d gladly swap places with him ANY DAY if it meant I could function normally. I was quite upset really as he thinks it’s all about the money. Well that money helps me with my day to day expenses of having a Disability such as paying someone to clean for me, paying for meals on wheels, paying for a Carer to take me out, etc..

He said he’s gonna jack in his job and go on E.S.A and make out he see’s Ghosts and Zombies and God know’s what. He said he wants me to “teach him what to do”… Like WTF! Why would ANYBODY want to pretend to be a Schizophrenic. The ridicule and the funny looks because people think you’re a fruit-loop and don’t want to associate with you!

He has started out by going to his Doctor telling him he is having suicidal thoughts and feel’s severely Depressed. (He isn’t. There is nothing wrong with him). He is in the process of going on E.S.A at the moment and I think he was awarded it for a year, last week.

I feel so ANGRY because this is totally mocking the entire Benefit’s system! What do I do? I don’t particularly feel like having him as a Friend any more and am CERTAINLY *NOT* going to be giving him any pointers as to how he can defraud his Psychiatrist and other Doctors, etc..
So what can I do? Do I report him? Can I keep MSN logs and E-Mail’s and print them off and send them to D.W.P? What would you guys do in my situation?

Thanks everyone.

Could someone help me with some psychological issues?

I know this question might be intense/surprising to my contacts, but please bear with me. I also know it’s a long question, but it’s covering some important points.

In the past decade, I’ve been diagnosed with major depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder. One of my psychiatrists suspects I might actually have bipolar disorder. Psychiatric illness runs in my family (my uncle committed suicide, my sister has panic disorder, my mother has depression), but I also have childhood trauma that I’m working through that makes it worse. Out of the people in my nuclear family, I have the worst psychiatric issues and it causes my family a lot of pain, especially since I live so far away so they feel like they can’t help as much as they would like.

I’ve been taking medication (Fluvoxamine, 300mg – the highest dosage) for three years now and it’s really changed my life. I don’t experience overwhelming obsessions and compulsions because at such a high dose, it relieves my OCD symptoms. It also has really stabilized my mood so I’m a functional person. I’m doing well in college, I’m pretty popular at my school and have good friends, I write for the school newspaper, and I have an awesome job to help bring in money.

However, I ran out of medication last week and went into severe withdrawal. My psychiatrist’s receptionist wasn’t answering my calls for the three previous months, even as they grew more desperate (because I was running out of prescriptions). I began having “the shakes,” hallucinations, and a severe depression. I haven’t self-harmed since I was 15, but because of my withdrawal, I cut myself 50-60 times on my thighs and abdomen. I attempted suicide by trying to slice my ephemeral artery.

My roommate came to the rescue and took me to the urgent care unit, where I received two layers of stitches (sub-cutaneous and cutaneous) that totaled 17. Needless to say, I was completely batshit crazy last week. I finally got on some medication and am back to normal now, but I’m terrified something like that will happen again and that I will succeed in killing myself.

I know that that tortured person I was last week is still inside me somewhere – I can feel it. However, I also know that the happy-go-lucky and driven social butterfly that people see me as is ALSO who I am. How do I reconcile these two drastically different personalities? Is the person people see me as who I really am, or is it just the medication? Am I actually the lunatic I was last week? If so, that really frightens me.

I’m so embarrassed about my psychological history. I don’t tell ANYONE about my self-harm history, or that I’ve had to go to the hospital before for cutting myself. I’m afraid people would think I was just another privileged “emo” white girl looking for attention. Furthermore, I’m afraid of people thinking I’m “crazy.” Is there any hope of me living a normal life, like everyone else?

I’m terrified of ever getting married or, even worse, having children. What if something like that happens to me again, especially if I have children? Should I just never have kids, despite the fact that I love children? Am I the sort of person who should remain alone, in order to limit the emotional pain that my condition inflicts on others? I have NEVER had a desire to physically harm others, but I know that people tend to bond with me, and if I committed suicide, it would be a huge betrayal.

I just feel so incredibly guilty for trying to kill myself again, even if it was withdrawal. I love my family and close friends; and I’m so angry that I was willing to put them through so much agony in order to satisfy my desire for self-destruction.

Continued in added details…
So, to summarize, these are my questions:
1. Is the self-destructive person I was last week who I REALLY am? Does my medication make me someone I’m not?
2. If who I am on medication is a real part of me, how do I reconcile that with the tortured person that I was last week?
3. How can I avoid reaching the state I was in last week, so that I can avoid causing my family and friends pain? What are some ways to ensure I never run out of medication?

Continued in more added details…
4. Since I know that I become dangerous to myself when I’m off my medication, how can I ever trust myself to be a good parent? What if that situation arises again, especially if I’m in charge of their welfare?
5. When I first started taking this medication, I was told I would have to take it for at least a decade. Will I have to take it my entire life? Will I ever be able to function independent of it?
6. Let’s say you met someone who you found to be functional, responsible, intelligent, caring, friendly, upbeat, and funny (all terms people describe me as). How would you react if you found out they have the problems I do? Would you have a negative opinion of them? Would you lost trust in them (i.e. think of them as “crazy”)?
7. Why do some depressed people self-harm? Why do they feel a drive to do it?

What could be wrong with my Grandma?

(Before anyone freaks out and says “take her to the ER right now!” she’s already at the ER waiting to be seen, I’m just really concerned and want to know what might be wrong with her)

My grandma is 73 years old. She’s in decent health for someone her age, apart from bad IBS, high cholesterol, being like 80% deaf, bad sinuses, generalized anxiety disorder, allergies, osteoporosis, having a MRSA infection in her bladder, and being a bit senile. A few days ago, she showed me something that she thought was a bug bite on her leg. I didn’t say anything to her, but it looked almost identical to the MRSA infection I had on my leg 6 months ago ( we don’t tell her when we suspect anything like that because of her generalized anxiety disorder which makes her dwell on everything until she’s physically ill). I told my mom though, who has power of attorney over my grandma. She said she’d make her an appt to get it checked out. Today, the “bug bite” on her leg doesn’t look like MRSA anymore, but rather a bruised lump. She also has numerous other bruises on her legs, and her legs hurt her so bad she can’t hardly walk or move them. Her blood pressure is sky high ( 188/110). She feels achy all over, almost like she has the flu (she’s been this way for a couple of days now). She also has a horrible headache, and according to her general practitioner whom she saw today, her brain is swollen (I have no idea how a general practitioner can tell that though). Also, I have no idea if this is relevant or not, but the night before last she said she woke up in the middle of the night and was just completely drenched in sweat, like someone had dunked her underwater, even though it was like 70 degrees in her room. She’s also very anemic.

Two things that I’m concerned about are she has a history of deep vein thrombosis (she almost died from it when she was in her 40′s) and many of her symptoms are very consistent with Leukemia. I’m just very, very scared, I already lost my other grandma to cancer just 3 MONTHS AGO, I can’t go through losing my other grandma (and last grandparent, both of my grandpa’s are also dead) this soon…

Congrats to the Pacman, voted WBC’s Fighter of the Decade?

A much deserved award for the Pacman!

Pacquiao named WBC’s Fighter of the DecadeBy NICK GIONGCOJanuary 4, 2011, 6:27pm
Although Pacquiao held numerous titles in other sanctioning bodies during the last 10 years, the 32-year old Filipino pound-for-pound king also won several championships under the WBC banner.MANILA, Philippines — Manny Pacquiao was voted by the World Boxing Council (WBC) as its Fighter of the Decade (2001-2010), WBC’s long time chief Jose Sulaiman announced from the governing body’s headquarters in Mexico City.

Pacquiao beat out Oscar De La Hoya and a few other marquee names for the coveted award.

Although Pacquiao held numerous titles in other sanctioning bodies during the last 10 years, the 32-year old Filipino pound-for-pound king also won several championships under the WBC banner.

Pacquiao briefly held the WBC super-featherweight and lightweight titles and just recently annexed the super-welterweight title to his growing collection after also winning titles at flyweight (WBC), super-bantam (International Boxing Federation), feather (The Ring magazine), super-lightweight (International Boxing Organization) and welter (World Boxing Organization).

The WBC Fighter of the Decade award will only add more luster to Pacquiao’s already proud name, having been given the same accolade by the Boxing Writers Association of America and The Ring magazine for the same feat.

Pacquiao is currently out of the country with his family and is slated to return to the ring on May 7 against Shane Mosley at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

A huge favorite against Mosley, Pacquiao plans to embark on an eight-week training camp for what he has described as “a very tough fight” considering Mosley’s durability and vast experience.

Trainer Freddie Roach said he is willing to camp out in Baguio City once again for four weeks and spend the next four at the Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood.

15. During the leadup to the Ali-Foreman fight, the bout was delayed due to an injury that Foreman incurred during training. What was the injury?

16. Ali would fight Joe Frazier a third time in 1975 as his fourth title defense since regaining the title.

What’s the book about an Old-Western magician who tries in vain to fleece the townspeople during a seance?

Hey, thanks for giving this a look! I ordered a paperback childrens book from the Scholastic book club in elementary school, twenty years ago, and the story was so good, I want to find it for my stepson. The story takes place in the Old West. A couple of bright youngsters in a small town have a problem — It seems a travelling magician and his lackey, a huge, grim man who never speaks, are planning to fleece the townspeople of their money during a public seance, featuring a coffin and all! A spirit will be conjured from the pine box, or something to that effect. Unbeknownst to anyone except the two youngsters, the plan is for the grim, tall brute to steal some money from a bank vault while the lights are all down. The kids manage to turn a light on the dastardly duo in the act of burglarizing the vault, and the town’s money is saved! I can’t think of the title, and I must find this awesome, illustrated paperback for my kids to enjoy. Any leads would be appreciated.

Any others? I love creative ideas…

Can anyone suggest some improvement for my speech on Muhammad Ali?

THIS SHOULD LAST 3 MINUTES:

My three minute talk is on Muhammad Ali, the boxer, heavyweight champion and Olympic Gold Medallist who is thought of as being one of the most talented and inspirational icons in the world of sport.

Muhammad Ali was born Cassius Clay in Kentucky, USA. He was an African-American and suffered abuse and racism in his home town, but this did not stop him perusing his dream. When Cassius was twelve years old, his bike was stolen from him, he went to the Sheriff of his town who at the time ran a boxing gym, he told him when he found the thief he was going to beat him up. The Sheriff, called Joe Martin convinced Clay to first learn how to fight and to join the boxing club.
Within a few short weeks Clay picked up on how the sport worked and his potential began to shine through. He then became an amateur boxer with a record of 100 wins and only 5 losses.
From their Cassius made his country proud in winning Gold for Light heavyweight boxing in the 1960 Olympics in Rome.
His amazing talent and ability became known across the country and in 1964 Cassius Clay was to challenge the current Heavyweight Champion – Sonny Liston for his title.
Cassius won – and officially became the undisputed champion. Soon after Clay decided to convert to the Islamic or Muslim faith, and changed his name to Muhammad Ali. Ali changed his religion as did many black Americans because their slave ancestors, captured by the Americans, were originally Muslims and were forced to become Christians by the slave masters.
Controversy continued followed Ali through his life, reaching a stage where he faced a five year prison sentence this was because during the Vietnam War, Americans were being drafted into the military and forced to fight for their country, when told to join the army Ali refused and would not respond to the Soldiers when they called him Cassius Clay.
After barely escaping prison Ali was banned from boxing, his title taken from him and his Muslim leaders banned him from their churches. But his persistence and effort finally paid off and after lots of hard work Muhammad Ali reclaimed his title and went on to beat other renowned boxers who many believed he could not in his much older age.
But in 1984 Muhammad Ali was diagnosed with Parkison’s Disease, making him very weak and unable to box again. But even in retirement Ali remains an active public figure, making visits to US Soldier’s in Iraq and in 2005 was awarded a Presidential Medal of Freedom Award for his contribution to the civil rights or racial equality movement. A film was also made about his life and career, titled Ali it was a box office hit and starred actor Will Smith.

Many boxers of today such as Mike Tyson, Ricky Hatton, David Hay and Lennox Lewis list Muhammad Ali as their number one icon and the reason they chose the path they did.
I believe Muhammad Ali is an inspiration figure, who can teach everyone from different jobs and backgrounds about how effort can pay off and to never give up. Even in his darkest days, when he couldn’t do what he loved, when he was facing prison or divorce, he remained strong and proved to the world that hard work can make anything happen.

Please help identify a music video artist and title from 1997/1998 ?

Hi everyone,
i have been trying and trying for years to chase up the Artist and Title of a video clip from 1997/1998 roughly that i cant seem to track down …. I think it was a charted hit as i only remember hearing it on MTV and count downs but paid no attention then.

The Song is an R&B style tune that i was not really into back then but I clearly remember the clip being played regularly around this time.

the Video clip is set in a bar or night club with a boxer in a boxing ring in the back ground.

while the boxers go at it in the background a young black lady is sitting at a table singing the actual song …. she is closer to the camera than the boxers fighting but the camera regularly pans to one of the boxers sweating it out … kinda sad song.

if i think of anything else i will post it up …
thanks
Dj

Politics in Boxing?

In South Africa the politics in Boxing is Ridiculous. In fact Boxing in South Africa is Politics. It does not matter how good you are if you come up against a fighter from a certain Amateur Club you will lose because the officials are all mates with the coaches and family of the boxer’s. Than when it comes to Pro Boxing we have 1 gym that get’s recognised. Fighter’s from that gym get all the Big Title shots and all the money. There is so much politics involved that many Boxer’s lose faith and retire prematurely and it is killing the sport. I would just like to know if there is politics in Boxing all over or if it is just here in SA? If you have been Cheated, Please Let me Know your Story?

Who can tell me more about Boxing Hall of Famer Peter Jackson?

Here’s what I have learned…
1) He fought from 1882-1892 and is viewed by many (not all) boxing historians as the best Heavyweight of that era.
2) His record was 45-4-5 with 31 no contests.
3) He was the Austrailian Heavyweight champ, British Empire Heavyweight champ, and the “colored” Heavyweight champ*
4) *John L Sullivan refused to fight him because he refused to defend his title against a black man.
5) He had a 61 round draw against James Corbett (who won the Heavyweigth title the very next year. He fought that fight with an ankle injury. Corbett said Jackson could beat any heavyweight he ever saw” and ” I saw him box an exhibition with Bob Fitzsimmons (another great) at the old California Athletic Club , and it was like a professor giving a pupil a lesson.”

Can anyone tell me more about his fistic accomplishments, his fighting style and why he is never mentioned?
skeet and toughguy, thanks for your info…skeet, who else in that era was overlooked in your opinion?
nic, thank you for your contribution…never heard the part about Johnson visiting his grave…I did see a pic of his grave in my search.

Boxing fans: What’s going on at The La Colonial Boxing Club? More details in this question?

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and hope you’ll have a Happy New Year!

BQ:] This questions concept idea was brought up before by Norman Bates that
was regarding the Wild Card Boxing Gym now I’m asking what’s going on at the
La Colonial Boxing Club? First, “Vicious” Victor Ortiz self destruction during the
Floyd Mayweather Jr fight, Brandon “Bam Bam” Rios doesn’t make weight then,
as a result he loses his WBA Lightweight Championship and Rios almost lost to
John Murray and finally, Antonio Margarito lost the rematch he guaranteed to win
when he fought Miguel Cotto again. I want to specify I’m a Latino and I am merely
asking this to hear other boxing fans opinion are they or are they not getting them
mentally and physically prepared for their respective professional fights? Is it those
fighters themselves who are just getting the job done in the ring, with all respect to
Brandon Rios who pulled off a dramatic comeback to win his fight, he did lose that
WBA Lightweight title for not making weight. I just wanna hear some good opinions.

Name of cereal sold at Sam’s Club with sweet Strawberry/Banana clusters and “Crunch” in the title

My Sam’s Club used to carry a very delicious cereal. I am now trying to find it online, but I can’t remember the name. It came in a double-size box, likely had the word “Crunch” in the title, and contained sweet clusters with strawberry pieces, possibly banana as well. I have a faint feeling that this product was either organic (more likely) or from Canada (less likely), perhaps both.

Does anyone know what I’m talking about? Thanks!
