Update us on your real or fake illnesses. Your cats illnesses and substance abuse. Also we are all eager to know how the paper cut of @econmama is fairing. I know she was touch and go last night and needed to update her will.
I think the bleeding/spotting has stopped! Yay! Although since I'm writing this, I'm pretty sure my body is going to say haha eff you, here comes some more.

P doesn't have an eye infection \:D/ Pedi thinks it could be a seasonal allergy, but doesn't want to medicate him if it doesn't seem to bother him. I'm fine with that!
I bit the inside of my cheek yesterday, so then of course I did it 3 more times.
The worst.
It's like, ooooh, that part is already nice and swollen and tender, let's maul it a few more times (this phrasing intentionally left open to interpretation )
I have a nerve on the side of my hip that likes to complain when I lie on my stomach for too long. It's like someone poking me with an unbent paper clip who then escalates to a pointy object.
*poke* me reading on my belly *poke**poke**poke**poke**poke* me continuing reading on my belly *poke**poke**poke* -oh, so that's how it is, eh?-*poke**poke**poke* pain goes away for a minute *I WILL NOT BE IGNORED* and that's when I turn hastily on my back.
This was not an issue before I got pregnant. I know as far as post-pregnancy complaints go, it's pretty tame, but soooo annoying.
@COmama1314 Have you mentioned it to pedi?!? Goodness gracious, poor thing! I hope it goes away soon! I think coughing is the hardest part to get rid of!
@dontgiveupnomatterwhat It comes and goes on its own every month around ovulation time. I don't think it's a UTI. I think it's just bladder spasms/ideopathic cystitis.
Well, DD decided to puke up lunch yesterday, so she got sent home from daycare. Nevermind the fact that the only reason she puked was because she was in the midst of a coughing spell during lunch. Poor kiddo!
So, early out for me yesterday. Then I clarify with daycare upon pickup that she can come in today. "Yep, no problem". Well ... I guess there's a 24 hour rule about pukes too (in addition to the 100* fever rule). Forgot about that one, but at least she took her back in today.
Fingers crossed that DD keeps lunch down (the only time she really coughs bad is usually upon waking up from a nap and sometimes when eating, but her coughing spells at home during mealtimes are like NBD - read: minimal at worst and nonexistent at best).
@audrey1787 - I'd send her as well. Especially if she woke this morning acting like her normal self.
@silv3rlining - Good luck to your husband. Hope he gets some answers (favorable ones!) soon. Not having a diagnosis makes things so much harder... that and you start playing the whole "what if" in your head - least I do. Hope it's nothing serious.
@casey78 - Ditto on the nighttime coughing sucks. Thankfully DD only has a bad coughing spell upon waking up. It's HORRIBLE but thankfully she can still manage to get a good night's sleep (or a good nap) before the coughing starts.
Does anyone really think the homemade cough syrups work (ie honey, lemon and maybe some coconut oil)? I made one up yesterday (per doctor's recommendation) and while DD will take it, it seems like it would be most effective to take during (or right after) a coughing spell. Does anyone use it preventatively? like ever 2-3 hours? or just when they are coughing?
My right big toe joint hurts. It's been hurting for over a year now. The podiatrist referred me to a rheumatologist, who thinks I have spondylarthroparhy because of chronic low back pain for the last five years. I missed my follow up appointment with him this morning, but I think he was just going to tell me to keep taking my ibuprofen. That appointment is rescheduled, I called the podiatrist and scheduled another appointment with him, he thinks I have toenail fungus and have had two laser treatments already, but it still is so discolored.... So I am requesting a toenail biopsy and a joint centesis.
Other than my effing toe, I am very fortunate to feel good otherwise.
@Byjove03 My 85 year old grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 years ago, and has made a full recovery. They treated her conservatively with just a resection of the mass and radiation and she is doing great now.
DH's Nana was diagnosed with breast cancer yesterday. She is in her early 90s and lives on her own. She wasn't answering her phone yesterday so someone went to check on her and it was because she got a call from her doctor and was so upset =(( it was found pretty early, but they are being careful how they manage it because of her age. Uh. I hope it is easily treated. She is such a sweet woman.
( >:D<
Fuck cancer.

We are impatiently awaiting the day we can say goodbye to his girlfriend Ivy for good.
My son keeps breaking out into hives off and on for the past month. I thought I could handle it by switching everything to "sensitive skin formula", but I was wrong. He has them going up his arm right now. I can't figure out what the heck it could be from. I am scheduling an appointment with an allergist when they open at noon. I have this bad feeling it might be the dog he is allergic to. :o3
Leah still has the nighttime coughs. I am full-blown sick with almost no voice, a hacking cough, and weird congestion. Cosmo's surgical site has healed nicely. DH should get results of his stomach biopsies soon.
I do not have a papercut, but I do have a cut under a fingernail from a nail file. It hurts to squeeze lemons.
<:-P </p>
This is me this morning, plus an eye infection. I got a shot on Tuesday, but it's not kicked in yet.
@COmama1314 That's so frustrating!!!!! I have studied natural remedies like crazy...when my little guy had a bad chest cold as of last weekend, I did a pure squeezed orange juice, cold pressed pineapple and cold pressed black cherry juice concoction for him. All three have incredible amounts of Vitamin C and are known to be cold curers. He is definitely over his sickness now. I can't say it was my concoction or just quick healing, but maybe give it a try!
@Silv3rlining My heart broke reading your response. I started crying and had to stop reading. I just want to hug you. I'm so so sorry you guys are dealing with this! Please update as you can on him!
I haven't eaten more than probably a thousand or so calories all week (I assume). So, I do believe I'll indulge and allow myself a whole box of Annie's shells and white cheddar.
Oh gosh, I'm so sorry to hear that you and your poor H are dealing with all that @Silv3rlining >:D< I hope he gets some answers.
Silas is still snotty and I've been feeling really off the past 3 days. My stomach feels like it does after you've been throwing up a lot (except I haven't?) but at the same time I've been starving and want to eat all the things. Basically I've been feeling hungover except I haven't been drinking.

I was just wondering about you @haddocky . Probably better you didn't eat all that because illness and empty stomach + tons of cheese often = diarrhea.
@biggunsbo well, AF finally became normal PP this period (I am guessing thanks to the hormones) but the dryness came back so we're back to using lots and lots of lube, but I am giving it a couple more months, if the dryness is here to stay I'm switching back to the pill even if that means I will think I am pregnant every month as I usually forget it at least once LOL

Re: December 4th Medical Updates: does it sting when you pee?
My neck and shoulder are still stiff. :-/
Sigh
Once a month for 2-3 days. Pyridium is my new BFF. Sorry, @maryannespier.
My bladder is feeling better now but my left hand hurts so bad that I can barely use it to apply force. Wut?
I would send her too. I think it's ok by now.
@Silv3rlining
Praying for an all clear report on the cancer! Hoping that the holistic approach helps!
@valstulas
UTI?!?!

My cat is doing well, but the gherkin hit her with a ball accidentally this morning so I am being extra nice to her.

I'll be back to complain of a tummy ache.
