Total breakdown

tinyhumantoetinyhumantoe member
in September 2012 Moms

DH worked all day.  Came home for a bit and we noticed our thermostat was kinda creeping up. 

Long story short............. it's 80 degrees in my house.  The AC is broken.  DH is at a bar with his friends.  I'm at home dripping sweat.  I'm itchy.  I've been burping for 8.5 hours straight.  I'm tired, but can't lay down because the food I ate at 430pm just comes up.  It literally just comes up without warning, and I choke on it.  I've taken Tums, they don't do shiit.  I'm just sitting here crying, which is adding a headache to the equation.  It's so pathetic.

I don't even know why I'm posting this here.  I just don't think I've ever been so miserable before.  What the hell am I going to do tomorrow when it's nearly 90 degrees outside?

    I am so sorry! I can definitely relate with the uncomfortableness and not being able to lay down because of reflux. Not that you are asking for suggestions, but maybe try a cool shower? Sometimes I like to take a washcloth and run it under the coldest water and use it as a compress to cool down. And when Tums don't work I either suck on ice or popsicles -- it seems to help but I don't know why. Hang in there -- hope you are able to train some fans on you and cool down!!!

    Oh, suggestions are certainly welcome and appreciated!!!  I think I might try a cool shower, and I'll grab a cup of ice to suck on. I haven't tried that.  I don't eat after 430pm anymore and that seemed to help a little, but I get soooo hungry :/.

    The reflux is actually a bigger issue than the broken AC.  I have had trouble sleeping for the past 5 weeks because of it, but man, the last 2 weeks I barely get three hours of sleep.  Laying there for hours is awful.  Thank you so much for your reply!

    Call DH and have him bring you some Zantac. It will help! Pepcid and tums didn't work for me but the Zantac is awesome!

    I wish.  Based on the jumbled text the jackazz just sent me, he won't be driving anywhere :)

    Zantac isn't on my approved list for some reason, but I've noticed a lot of ladies take it.  Should it only be taken a couple times a week?  Or can I take it every night?

    I am so dumb. I was just wishing that DH was sober so I could get to the pharmacy. Derrrrrr.......I am putting on clothes and driving my butt to the pharmacy for some Zantac. My brain cells are dropping like flies!

    If my DH was out at the bar at night while this late into the pregnancy I'd be having a total break down too!

    Maybe check with your doctor to see why Zantac isn't on your approved list.

    Get your hair wet when you take that shower. I was ready to kill Dh yesterday by the time he got home because it was 83 in our house. The wet hair helped tons. A wet towel lying on me doesn't hurt either. I hope you feel better soon.

    I'm pretty sure Zantac will help you. It's a class B drug so it is safe to take right now. And sucking on ice (or a popsicle) really will cool you down. If done after a shower, you'll feel more yourself very quickly. Sorry for your rough evening. I hope it gets better for you. (And what is your DH doing getting drunk when you're so close to the end? What would he do if you went into labor?)

    OH no!!  I am so sorry to hear you are going through this!  There is nothing worse than broken a/c!!  I hope you can get someone out there to repair it soon!!  A couple of times when ours has been broken, it was cheaper for us to just go spend the night at a hotel than to do a weekend service call... hope you cool off soon!!

    First of all, drink milk during an episode, not water or ice. Water perpetuates heartburn or reflux.
    Second of all, Zantac 150 twice a day! These should both help immensely with the reflux.
    Sorry that your AC broke... cold shower or compress definitely!

    I know this is late, but I hope the Zantac helped. I use TUMS when the reflux is greater than the Zantac/Tagament whichever I have at home, but I can't use them exclusively. 

    If you can't get cool can you go out during the day? Get a hotel for the night? I am sorry your air is broken this late in the game.  Feel better!

    I eat ice pops every night after dinner and they really seem to help me digest and settle my tummy! I hope you're feeling better today!
