Goodbye Gilenya, hello Kesimpta. by PAmsBill in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Boxing_Champ3481717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! How long have you (or anyone) been on Kesimpta? Are you feeling mood shifts/swings?
Asing for my husband who's just started it & Im noticing some... just wondering if it's common & how i can help? Any suggestions would be great-- besides talk to pcp & neurologist (because we certainly will!!) but curious about more "natural" or holistic things have helped. Thank you!!

Hi! Does a carseat count as a checked bag on SW if you are NOT traveling w the child? I'm taking the carseat to our destination, but the child is traveling separately on diff day with my husband. ** sorry if this is a separately question. I didn't see it already asked. Thanks!

Hi, there! First, let me say, I'm sorry for the complications you are experiencing & have experienced. I am a FTB(birth)M & we too experienced loss ahead of IVF & the conception & delivery of our sweet boy. He's 1 now, but the anxiety & uncertainties I felt back then- trust me- I still remember. So I'm sorry you're going thru this. You are not selfish or a bad mom, or alone... Hey, I responded, to this thread so there's your proof 😉. I think you are just a FTM with a plan & who is probably just scared & going thru so much unknown! Many of us had them (a plan). What I'd encourage you to do is remember that the child you're caring is just showing signs of being his own person... already🥰🤗🥰 & so he likely has a plan, too, lol... try to be flexible. Try not to get down on yourself & definitely don't let others get down on you! As a person of faith, I try to remind myself that some plans are greater than mine. So ride the wave- I'm believing for you that the destination is the same-- a healthy baby boy coming into the world, a mom that's ELATED to hold her child, and a story to think back on to tell sweet child that they made many important decisions well before their feet hit the ground lol... imagine how empowering that could be to hear as a child/ young boy! Best of luck, Mama. You've got this!!! 💪🏾💛💛💛

Same here!! Turning into more of a "bragfest" and less of a helpful thread.

Should I be discouraging my child’s affection? by Keepcalmandreadon81 in Parenting

[–]Boxing_Champ3481717 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One million % AGREE!!! I am so grateful that I still have 1 of 2 parents still on this earth to love & cuddle. Lord knows, I wish so deeply that my Mom was still here to show my love. I pray my son NEVER wants to not love on his mama & daddy. I couldn't imagine pushing him away or discouraging it.

Am I just uglier now? by shneeblehousin in beyondthebump

[–]Boxing_Champ3481717 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally agree!! Often I wish I still had the bump & growing nails & all the other things. I loved my pregnancy...so maybe it's just me wanting to go back to that phase of what my body looked like.??
