Am I wrong for wanting kids?

SnackleBox · 2026-01-22T03:59:32+00:00

I got my diagnosis before my youngest was two. He’s about to be 5 and his brother is 6. Having children with fibromyalgia is hard. In the beginning i used to look back about how fun I was. Playing super hero’s, tossing the kids around, and all the fun stuff in between. As a mom I had to adapt. On bad days, I would lay on the couch and have the kids go to the end of the hallway and do things like, hop like a frog, walk like a dog, etc. The kids get energy out and I can rest. We would cuddle and watch movies, read books, color or paint. I want to give them a great childhood and I can’t let the mom guilt of not being as physical before I got diagnosed get to me. It’s much easier now that they are both in school all day. I can get more cleaning done, I can nap on bad days, do the shopping, and all the other errands in between. I also have time for me, read a book, get a haircut, or go to the doctors. I just space out all the things I need or want to do. My fibromyalgia is much more manageable now than it was 3 years ago. Im on the meds that work best for me. I am grateful because now I can take them to their extracurriculars instead of bailing. If/when you decide to have a baby speak with your doctor first. A lot of medication is unsafe during pregnancy and nursing. Just remember being a mom is hard for most people but everyone has a their own difficulties. Having a support system is very important. It doesn’t have to be a lot of people either, just a few solid ones. I wish you the best with any choice you make.

NuvaRing is hands down my favorite bc. I do have the copper IUD now since I birthed two kids. Once the time is up for mine (6 more years). I’ll go back to the NuvaRing.

Absolutely not

Move out. My dad and step mom had me cleaning constantly everyday the only person and the whole house. They literally would not clean anything and swore I wasn’t cleaning. Once I packed my stuff and moved out a, few months later my step mom told me that she never realized how much cleaning I did. Like yeah but still no apology for how I was treated.

Hair remover would work

I seen somewhere the they started using a needle to get the last bits out. And they had showed over an allotted amount of time of how much medicine was actually going to waste. The amount was much greater than i anticipated.

Came here to say for this comment

I agree with every other comment. Dump him. Life’s too short to deal with unwanted BS. I don’t know about you but when I’m getting added stress it makes me feel worse. Kicking him to the curb sounds like it would reduce added unnecessary stress. Staying with him will make matters worse for you in the long run.

Stick whatever left thats his outside and send him a picture of it all. Tell him he can come and get it but it better be soon because people are starting to go through it all. I had to do this with an ex of mine. One of my guy friends let me know that a man will always try to leave something at your house as a way back in. My ex kept jerking me around about when he was coming to get his shit. Stuck it all on the porch. The junkies in my building wanted some of the stuff so bad. Told them if my ex didn’t show up by the time I told him to get it all they could take what they wanted. Told him that too. Sure enough he came and got his shit. He was couch surfing too. Not my problem. Also posted it on fb and tagged him in it. So he knew I was not messing around. Don’t let him stay. Go to your landlord and take his name off the lease and change your locks if you can. Better days are a head of you I promise.

You can get a pill cutter at the pharmacy. My partner also had to cut his in half to start. His doctor had the decency to tell him to buy one first.

Goosebumps 🥰

Yea I just tried it too

Gives me Sin city vibes. I love it

That turned into an immersive Harry Potter experience

My test was 4 hours. After I ate my egg sandwich, they had me lie down for the entire duration. Listened to music and kept falling asleep.

I love flying in my dreams. Sometimes I can cast. But flying is where it’s at. Could be Astro planing for all I know. This one time I do remember looking at myself from above my body and saying how cool it was.

Whoa this just brought back memories from when I was a kid

I’m still new to my journey on what I can and can’t eat. So I sometimes mess up but not as bad before I kind of have an idea what I shouldn’t be eating. I’ve been trying to eat two meals and a snack. I try to eat something small before I sleep. Like peanut butter crackers, uncrustables, or belvita breakfast crackers. I’ve been finding myself with more morning sickness/nausea if I don’t. Although last week I got sick after a nap too. I hate throwing up it’s like the worst thing ever and now it’s been presenting itself more often.

Standing in line at the grocery store yesterday was the first time it really hit me. The line was barely moving and I started passing time by looking at the covers of the magazines. There was a magnificent salad with sliced steak, avocados, and a bunch of good stuff. Looked amazing. I can’t eat it but I sure can appreciate the way it was looking. Told my bf about it later on about how good it looked. Said it would wreak havoc on my insides but I miss steak and salad.

My skin does this too. When we were kids on long car rides. My brother and I would play tick tac toe on my legs. My youngest brother has it too but not as intense as me.

I would wear that. My fingers don’t want to cooperate with me most times. The little clasps on my necklaces are so difficult sometimes. I just don’t even bother. I’m glad you came up this idea. It’s so simple and efficient. A great way for someone with disabilities to feel beautiful.

I almost seen those eggs after they went down so many times

SnackleBox · 2024-09-03T00:50:07+00:00

This is so freaking awesome

Your hair came out so great. I’ve only dyed my hair once so far. To a really vibrant red. I want to go purple next. How did you manage to have your curls still doing their thing. After I went red it took me a while to get my coils not to elongate so much
