I have to go to the dentist tomorrow...does that count?

Nikita had a tummy ache last night and tonight her thumb hurt. That bedtime sickness and pain is getting her good.

Dh still has some lingering man cold issues.

Jadzia is suffering from a little night owlitis.

ashie624 · December 2014

Uhhh I made Zoe's 18 month well child checkup appointment. 18 months!!!!

valstulas · December 2014

I just had a coffee. I suspect I'll be having that overdue poop any time.

LauraB1016 · December 2014

@valstulas‌ I was just going to share that I pooped today.... Hope that you have a nice poop.

mrshudson618 · December 2014

@blairwitch Me too. I have to get two fillings replaced.

DS complained of his ear hurting last night so I'm taking him to emergency hours today although it miraculously feels better. I don't want it to turn into an ear infection!

Get-well-and-STTN-wishes for everyone!

DH seems to be feeling ok after his man cold of a couple of weeks. E's becoming congested and started pulling on her ear again. I guess I'll find out if it's another ear infection when I take her in for her ear check after this last one. And I'm coming down with a sore throat. Not what I need today - today is my big job interview, the one that I've been waiting for for two months. T&Ps please!!!

I had the worst toothache last Wednesday. It hurt so badly that I made an appt with the dentist. I hate going to the dentist. Dentist looked and said all my teeth are perfectly healthy, and I still don't have wisdom teeth. I got my period Friday. Now my toothache is completely gone. I get the most random intense pain before I get my period. Every month. It makes no sense.

KikiCohen · December 2014

My MS seems to be easing up. I'm still dealing with constipation.

DH went to an allergist last week. He didn't react to any of the skin pricks so we still don't know if he's allergic to chocolate. The dr sent him for more testing and will see him later this month.

P's right eye is still watery, but not red or blood shot so we're still keeping an eye on it.

I may have advice for how to administer those antibiotics. But only if you have a complaint about your husband.

I get 2-3 days of UTI-type symptoms around ovulation every month. WTF?

kaylakim · December 2014

We all have head cold stuff:runny noses, coughing, sneezing. Nothing bad enough to go in but annoying still.

16.5 weeks pregnant and still can't stop taking my nausea meds. With my other kids I was fine after 12-13 weeks. This kid better be STTN at like a month. I'm tired of feeling like shit.

Also %allergies.

I am scared that this will be me. I took two zofran yesterday and still almost lost my dinner. Sadly, that's better than it had been.

Puke free for three days [-O<

I really hope you feel better! I couldn't imagine trying to take care of two kiddos while feeling like this.

lancomechica · December 2014

My hip is getting better. Last week it hurt so bad I had nausea from the pain. My neck has been stiff for 2 weeks. My Graves' disease is fine right now. Just super tired by 8:00 can't get that second wind to stay up and work.
Husband's shoulder and neck are also stiff...he is seeing a chiro and getting massages to help. Poor guy.
We are falling apart.
Vinny seems not sick. So that is good.

Smooth move herbal tea has helped with constipation. Also I think I had food poisoning over the weekend and that helps clear constipation too.

Leah has been snotty and had the night fought for two weeks. Now, my head and throat hurt, and I'm congested deep in my head.

My poor niece (6) went to the barn to do her chores this weekend. Her horse was down and all bloody from trying to get back up. My sister had to shoot it yesterday. (

( ^#(^

stephyfaith · December 2014

I keep peeing on all the sticks every morning hoping for something but it's possibly too early and at the same time I'm also possibly not pregnant... I hate this waiting game!

And my butt hurts from doing squats yesterday.

I broke a nail yesterday Claire is getting over a sickness - but still very "Clingy Claire"!! DH and I are feeling ok - for now
Sunshine Mission!

She said she broke a nail, not that she had a hang nail! We have to be very selective who gets a Sunshine Mission.

rondokye · December 2014

@casey78‌ that's so sad! >:D<

My husband's penis is healing quite nicely, thank you for asking. He found a tick on it in the shower a few days ago (a wood tick fortunately) partially burrowed in. It left a nasty scab.

I worked at a boy scout summer camp for 12 years. The amount of ticks removed from... umm... sensitive places was astronomical. Thankfully, I was never the health officer so it wasn't my problem.

EagleWife · December 2014

This is convenient timing.

My DH lost almost 10 lbs over the weekend, due to food poisoning, but he's doing much better now.

My LO contracted HFM and has a terrible sore throat and has an awful rash.

I've been through the worst weekend I can ever remember and can't even.

I'm glad to hear that everyone else is having so much improvement also.

Lelo2006 · December 2014

Today I was feeling tired so I woke up and put some arbonne cream on my face. Instant facelift! My knees were hurting from all my beach body work outs so I rubbed some essential oils on them and immediately felt better. I called up body by vi and talked about the benefits of her program while applying my jamberry nails. Then I took my herbalife supplement and enjoyed my scentsy candles while wearing my fave Stella & dot necklace.

coco2787 · December 2014

My kid still has his snotty nose and coughed a few times overnight. My dad and grandpa are still feeling crappy from getting Silas's cold.

@valstulas - I hope it's a nice satisfying poop for you. I got you the perfect mug to help out.

jennipalmer · December 2014

My dog has gas, very very bad gas. So, bad it is audible and she scares herself.
I think bumping has given me carpal tunnel.
Also, Liam has had cough/cold/general ickies for like 3 weeks but nothing that requires anything but TLC, honey etc. I hope it is not like this until spring.

EagleWife · December 2014

@merc5411 - how's the cornea? That story makes me cringe so much!! Hope you are feeling better.

My cat is sick.

I am so sorry. Can he/she still make it to work to bartend tonight?

redrocksmama · December 2014

I can barely bring myself to type this because I feel like I'm going to jinx myself, but I think my MS is finally gone. It's been a week since I've wanted to puke and since the weekend, I have to eat all the things! It's nice to enjoy food again. Hugs to the ladies still struggling with MS! I hope it eases up ASAP!

[Deleted User] · December 2014

@lancomchica I'm not sure. I'll have to ask him when he wakes up from his 16 hour nap. I think he has a hangover so technically it's his own fault. I'll probably make him go to work tonight because self inflicted sickness doesn't count as a sick day in my book.

andrea0418 · December 2014

My nose is really sore from Ty headbutting me yesterday.

gutsymama · December 2014

Luke had a kick-ass thick poop this morning! Report from his 18m check-up: He is 24.5lb and 31in and back on the charts! And also he is a sworn enemy of bandaids.

I, on the other hand, am on CD2 and bleeding like crazy, and it seems thinner than usual, and I also had a really painful BM this morning that is consistent with some pain I've had in the first days of AF the last 3-4 times. And, for the last couple weeks when L presses hard on my lower abdomen (like, I'm laying down and he sits or stands on me, etc.) it hurts more than I think it should.

Would any of this concern you guys? I know odds are high that it's absolutely nothing, but I don't trust the odds anymore. I feel like I no longer have any sense of how to be reasonable about what's ok and what is cause for concern.

:-??

EagleWife · December 2014

@gutsymama - maybe call your OB about these symptoms and possibly schedule a checkup? The increased bleeding and pain would concern me. >:D<

[Deleted User] · December 2014

DD is recovered from the stomach bug. She is once again eating. DH and I are very happy with this. I had a touch of it. I did not feel like eating.

I am counting down the days until we see the Fert Dr for our followup to see if the past 8 weeks of diet/exercise/pill regimen has worked. They have all my bloodwork...they are just booked out a week and a half.

gutsymama · December 2014

In related news, I chickened out re: diva cup and restocked on tampons at Costco yesterday ::hangs head in shame::

I feel sorry for your vag.

If it helps, I have taken my vag camping several times.

[Deleted User] · December 2014

My medical update is that my period is finally over :-bd

The gherkin's update is that her blood cells are normal in shape and size and mostly good otherwise which is a relief. And no more need for a blood specialist for her. BUT she has only gained 1.5 lbs in the last YEAR and is still only barely 18 lbs. She is taller, though.

My cat is doing well. She has been enjoying watching snowflakes go by the window when it snows.
