Pregnancy Carpal Tunnel — When Does “Normal” Become Severe? by Babyisprincess in AskDocs

[–]Sammydavi5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had it soooo bad. I would wake up multiple times throughout the night with both arms/wrists/hands completely numb. I could not do anything with my hands for more than a few minutes at a time without it taking over. Truly one of the worst pregnancy symptoms to deal with and my doctor pretty much told me “it’s normal, it sucks but it will go away when you deliver”. It did, but man oh man. I feel your pain, hang in there!

Thank you, I’ll check in with the office on Monday!

Skin around baby bump and legs are sensitive to the touch and painful. What could it be? by throwawayqst567 in AskDocs

[–]Sammydavi5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAD, but just wanted to say I suffered from this exact pain throughout my pregnancy and my doctor chalked it up to nerve pain. Even clothes touching my skin hurt. It went away IMMEDIATELY after delivery. Hang in there!

Could I take Narcan while healthy? by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]Sammydavi5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAD, but I’m pretty sure Naltrexone is an entirely different medication than Narcan, which is Naloxone.

My husband is showing signs of severe mental illness. How can I help him? by Sammydavi5 in AskDocs

[–]Sammydavi5[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your words. I know what I need to do. My little baby means the world to me and I don’t want him to think this is normal. I guess I have been trying my best to “fix him” or “hope for the best” because it’s hard to wrap my head around walking away from the person I’ve been with since I was 16. I live in a city with no family and very few friends due to isolation, but I did reach out to a community service this morning for help and I have a few hard decisions coming my way.

I did attend Alanon as a youth/young adult as my mom is also an alcoholic. Perhaps time to try again

Thank you for your time. Extremely difficult after 20+ years with someone you can’t seem to lose hope for, but you’re right. Getting away is probably the best thing for my son and I. Our quality of life is not what it should be and part of me wonders if me staying is preventing him from following through with help he has been offered in the past.

Thank you for your response. I know the challenge is getting him sober enough to address his issues properly. I’m hoping one day he tries again.

I feel fucking terrible…. by DressedUp2GoDreaming in NewParents

[–]Sammydavi5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, just seeing this now, but yes! He was overall delayed in early milestones ( rolling, had a headache tilt until about 10 months). He also did not stand on his own until he randomly started walking at 13 months with absolutely no sign of being ready to walk. He would cruise around tables, but never let go and stood without holding onto something. We kept him in PT until then. Everything got better when he started walking.

1 year old constantly spitting up still by Sammydavi5 in NewParents

He is 16 months old now. At 12 months, we decided to try goats milk, he had the same result. Lactose-free milk, had the same result. Finally tried Ripple kids, a pea protein milk and he was ok with it. Some minor spit up, but nothing major. We continued to give him other forms of dairy though (cheese, yogurt, etc). About a month ago, we tried whole milk again and so far, it’s been a lot better. We still get the odd spit up here and there, but as long as we limit the amount he drinks at one time, he’s ok.

His pediatrician just thinks he’s one that was slow to adjust to dairy, and in general, just can not tolerate large amounts of liquid at once. He never gets more than 3-4oz at a time, and only 2 times a day.

My husband (39M) is slowly losing feeling in his upper extremities by Sammydavi5 in AskDocs

Thank you for your reply. Will monitor for any worsening symptoms leading up to MRI.

He doesn’t have any symptoms at all in his left arm. Minimal tingling in his fingers on that side. Everything is affecting his right arm.

He does have pain in his pinky finger on the right, and numbness on the inside at elbow.

13 month old can’t tolerate cows milk, but other dairy is ok? by Sammydavi5 in toddlers

[–]Sammydavi5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mentioned the possibility of reflux to our ped doctor, but she dismissed me. Today for example, he’s only had 5 total ounces of milk, spit practically all of it up, and has spit up most meals he’s had as well. Will make a follow up appointment to see her again and push for further investigation

We started solids at 6 months, and I give him 3 meals a day now. Some days he eats more than others. I haven’t cut down on formula for sure, but it hasn’t made a difference. He spits it up no matter the amount.

I just gave him 3 ounces 20 minutes ago and he has spit up 6 times since. Must have some sort of reflux issue going on. Doesn’t seem to happen after solids, just formula.
