@colieann31 I am so sorry you don't have any answers. Could it be migraines, maybe? What is your Wednesday appointment going to cover?

I'm only getting a headache every now and then. It's not constant like the nausea is. My appointment is a follow up if I'm still not feeling well to do more testing. I'm keeping a food log and symptoms log for her to see if anything is causing any of this.

Diagnosis is that it is allergic in nature. Doing a dose of liquid steroid in hopes it knocks out whatever it is. We're going to keep trying to figure out what caused it in the meantime. Thanks for all the love and support!

Just catching up, but that rash looked a lot like what B had with his penicillin allergy but he also had joint swelling and pain (which is apparently somewhat uncommon). I hope he just has to have the one dose, because steroids and toddlers are not a happy combination.

Contractions started this afternoon. Nothing too serious yet, but I suspect I'll have a fresh baby by the end of the week. Holiday shopping is all finished, and I have a December calendar finished for 1/3 classes.

Where is @WasNotWas‌ vacation still??

I'm sure y'all remember my moms kind words about how we celebrated thanksgiving this year. Guess what she said now!? Yeppers, I'm ruining Christmas for my kiddos by not putting up the big tree and lights on the house. She saw our little tree today (still needs lights and ornaments) and asked me if that's the only thing I'm putting up this year. When I replied yes she once again decided to tell me how I'm ruining it for my kids.


Thanks mom, I'm so glad you think that me doing this whole parenting/pregnancy thing completely alone isn't a valid reason for climbing ladders and pulling huge boxes out of the attic and down the stairs.

I'm so over my mom/sister. I even told them both today that if my sister goes into labor over night (she is due Sunday) and it's already past 9 PM don't bother me with calls/texts. I don't care enough to be woken up. Also told them I don't want a play by play of her labor.

FFMC: I'm secretly hoping my sister ends up going past her due date and has to be induced and that my lil guy comes first. Flame me all you want but I'm so pissed at her that I can't think happy thoughts for her when it's her time to deliver. I've been nothing but supportive of her this whole pregnancy and she has yet to return the support to me.

Phew- I think I'm done being a Debbie downer.

Please return to normal bumping schedule.

@riansmommie‌ - I am fuming for you!! I cannot believe your mother would say such a thing! That is absolute bullshit!! And it is not even true. You aren't ruining anything. You are doing hell of a lot more than I would be able to muster with all things considered. So many hugs!!

riansmommie

Yeah I'm completely baffled as to why she keeps saying things like this to me as well. Guess she thinks she was the best mom ever, I beg to differ .

Also last week at my sisters appt she was told she was 1cm and 40% effaced, today (a week later) she is 1.5 cm and 50% effaced. Her dr told her she was making good progress. I texted my sister back and said her dr is lying to her. Also made up some BS stats about how if your not at least 3cm and 70% effaced by week 36 you will go past your due date by 4-10 days . She believed me and I got a good chuckle out of it.

riansmommie

You're right @huckleberry08‌ I need to let go of the hope that my mom will be of any support right now. I have a feeling things will get better after my sister has her baby and my mom comes out here in Jan. I plan on sitting her down face to face when she is here to explain to her how much she and my sister hurt me in my time of need. They have both put such so much extra stress on me because they are being so selfish.

megaroo64

Could someone PM me and catch me up on which new screen names refer to which old screen names? I'm confused...

bumpuser7846882

@riansmommie‌ I don't really have much to add that hasn't already been said. You are rocking pregnant military wife/mom life with minimal support.

hellooldfriend

@34blondie‌ grandma's lotion?? Did you go anywhere new? Different shampoo on you or your animals?

riansmommie

Thanks for keeping us updated on M @34blondie‌ so sorry you're having to deal with this! Hope lil man starts feeling better soon and that y'all figure out what's causing that bad rash.

megaroo64

@moosemug - back at ya! Thanks!

cynthia2007

@riansmommie, your mom sounds like a real peach. I'm sorry her and your sister are not supporting you. Your kids will love anything you do because they are with you and later will know that you made those moments special without the help of your family. Sending you lots of virtual hugs and hope all the labor pains are had by your sister and not you!

ColieAnn31

@riansmommie‌ I'm sorry your mom is being such a jerk. I'd be there in a heartbeat to help you out if I could. You are probably the strongest woman I know and I think you are kicking ass right now.

ColieAnn31

At what point does this get to be an urgent matter? I am now extremely nauseous and weak and my entire body just aches...

riansmommie

@Pitchslap‌ YGPM

ColieAnn31

@heelibrarian‌ zofran isn't doing anything for the nausea anymore. I took excedrin for my headache and that helped but my body is in pain. And Don't want to go to urgent care for them to tell me it's nothing...

ColieAnn31

34blondie said:

@ColieAnn31‌ I'd call it urgent. From someone who has been through it all-push for answers. Start documenting everything right now so you can have a record with you every time you see a doc and tell them when you think they aren't doing enough. Good luck and big hugs.

Thanks. I've been documenting everything now. I'm at my breaking point now but don't know what to do.

ilovemarfa

@ColieAnn31‌ is it possible you have influenza. I've never had it (knock on wood) but I have heard that you feel miserable with a headache, Intense myalgia, sometimes nausea. I don't know what kind of blood work you had but I'm sure they tested for white blood cells which would show some kind of infection. If you are unable to move I would go to urgent care and maybe have them do a flu test on you.

moosemug said:

@colieAnn31, I can't remember all of your symptoms, but have they ruled out the norovirus?

No. The only thing they've done is blood work and rule out pregnancy.

Grayson keeps giving me a run for my money. He woke up at 8:30 today and was down for a nap by 12:30 and slept until 2. Figured he would be ready for bed around 8. Nope. Still going. He's too young to not have a nap, right? Lol

Oh yeah I have to tell you guys! I got a phone call today from a telemarketer. He asks for miss so and so. I let him know he had the wrong number. He then goes on about how he's calling about my windows computer. I said I don't have a windows computer, we own macs but have a nice day. He then tells me to go fuck myself. I said "excuse me?" I totally thought I misheard him because I was watching M and trying to make sure he wasn't going to fall off the couch. Anyway he repeats himself and I heard him correctly. He said it again. I said a few cuss words and hung up. Dh thinks it was a scammer. It creeped me out because who the hell says that?!?!

I've had the same thing happen to me except the guy asked if he could fuck me and get me pregnant. I hung up on him and he called back, I let my hubby answer that time and that man got an earful from my hubby.

Pretty sure its a scam! There have been stories of people getting calls from "debt collectors" and they are getting the same harrassment. I probably would have done the same thing you did lol

So earlier this evening we heard tons of emergency vehicles fly by our house. When I left to get Rian from gymnastics practice we saw that they were about a block and a half away from my house. Road was completely blocked off with flares, emergency vehicles and crime scene tape. I just looked up the story to see what happened. A man was hit by a vehicle and had to be rushed to the hospital.

Here is my early FFTC.... Though it sucks he got hit I'm not surprised at all that it happened. So many people walk down the road instead of on the fucking sidewalk!!!! My road is NOT well lit at all and for fucks sake people how about we don't wear brown/black/navy blue colored clothes when it's pitch black outside! How the hell do you expect anyone to see you until they are literally on top of you!? Also use the damn sidewalk! That's what it's there for, the road is for cars.

numbersgirl08

@babygsmommy‌ Similar story here. N is very attached and doesn't want me out of her sight when she knows I'm nearby. Dinner tonight was one long whiny crying session. It's exhausting and I don't SAHM with her - the evenings are often enough for me to get exasperated.

I've had the "Windows" scammers call multiple times. One of them swore at me too actually, and the last one tried to "friend" me on facebook because my voice sounded nice. I got a similar call tonight but the call centre was so loud and the caller so foreign I could not understand what he was saying. I asked "did you say you're calling from Telus?" Telus is a telecommunications company in Canada and who our home phone is through, the guys responds "yeah, sure, Telus". Ok buddy. it was so obvious he just latched on to that one because it must have sounded legit to me. He then proceeded to tell me he had to fix a bug on my computer. You're not from Telus if you're going into my computer dumb ass!

hellooldfriend

I can't believe those marketing strategies lol! I got a call the other day and they said "Debbie??" (Not my name) I said no, this is "my name" and he said "oh! While I have you on the phone..." And started his pitch. Umm what??

Day two of work- forgot to set my alarm and Nora doesn't give a crap that I am going to be late and is slowly enjoying her nursing season. Good news- I'm the first one in the office, so no one will know I was late- employee of the year.

@babygsmommy - that call is super creepy! Who thinks up this stuff!! And B has gone through some clingy phases- it totally passes.

riansmommie

Oh no @34blondie please keep us update on M. I feel so bad for you guys. I'm sure it's scary trying to figure it all out. Hoping for answers as to what's going on with him.

bumpuser7846882

@34blondie‌ I'm sooo sorry! That's really stressful! I hope you get some answers today! 5 days of prednisolone was what it took for us, but that was mostly for the joint pain/swelling. Benadryl took care of the rash within a couple days. Official dx for us was serum sickness from augmentin.

Turned the radio station and "I'm in a hurry and don't know why" was playing. Soooooo appropriate right now. Thanks, universe.

What a Tuesday. H has to work and I had a conference. As H was putting Lily in the car so that I could take her to daycare, she puked. Guess I wasn't supposed to go to the conference.

@34blondie‌ I hope you guys find out what is causing them. Ds1 broke out in hives once after he ate cinnamon applesauce. Apparently the cinnamon did him in. Has he eaten anything lately out of the ordinary?

pkp2

@34blondie‌ I missed the pic that you deleted, but it sounds similar to what P had this summer. He would get small to medium red spots and they would spread, then within 30 min to an hour they were gone. Didn't bother him at all. His pedi also said an allergy, but we never found out to what. They just disappeared. Hope they can find something out for you!

megaroo64

@34blondie- thinking of you and M - hope they figure out what is going on soon!

Just had my job interview. Didn't get any great feelings, it was strange, they didn't even ask me that many questions. I wonder if they already found someone they like. Time to send out more resumes...

@ColieAnn31‌ I may have missed it, but did you go to your PCP earlier when they drew blood/completed tests? Do you have access to those records? If possible, I would get into your PCP for immediate follow up. I'm not a huge fan of urgent care facilities or their docs (at least my local ones) and I'd trust your established care provider more.

You need to push for a full panel of tests (unless that's exactly what they did before) and push for more answers. There's a flood of possibilities for what's going on, but you are your number one health advocate. Demand more answers. Ask for a specific follow up plan for if it doesn't get better over the next 48 hours. Be the pushy and (perceived) annoying patient. It will benefit you in the end.

Good luck dear. I hope you get answers.

Thanks for the advice!! I went Friday and they did the blood work. Called yesterday to give me results and said everything came back fine except that I was dehydrated which I already figured. My results may be online but I'm not sure. I go back tomorrow but I'm going to see if they can fit me in today.

When they put Grayson on flonase awhile back it caused really bad night terrors. I stopped that shit fast lol now he's just on 2 inhalers :P I'd rather deal with the inhalers than the night terrors.
