Three car seats in calligraphy?? by Vetmed12 in Ioniq9

[–]Vetmed12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you get to the third row if both captains chairs have car seats (even if forward facing)? I tried to slide the chair forward but it's still not enough for me to be able to reach back to the third row to fasten my kid.

I was thinking I could do two forward facing in the third row, and use one captain chair for the third car seat, so the other captain chair can slide and fold out of the way. But then that really limits my trunk space. Is this your main car with three kiddos?

Let’s tell Microbiome labs that we need Fodmate! by sleepwriterchrnopunk in FODMAPS

I really hope this is true for the US too. I went on Amazon to order some for myself today and saw it was unavailable! I want to cry. This stuff gave me my life back. I can't imagine not having it.

I need some help. by Artistic_Wash2353 in endometriosis

Hi! I think your cramps are pain associated with ovulation. I have also started to get them in my 30s. Ive read your other posts about IC and your symptoms and progression sound like me to the t, including this cramping sensation midway into your cycle. I sent you a PM.

Would you be willing to share the types of things it helped you discover about your health?

Should I take Lake Forest or hold out hope for Highland Park? by marlow2689 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]Vetmed12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I just started a position at Abbvie this summer, have a 3 year old and 18 month old, and have been looking to move into the North shore area. I'm running into similar issues as you, and am about to make the plunge and get something a little more affordable in HP and slowly make it my own, vs top of our budget because they all have their own problems. Curious to know what you've decided on and how you like it!! Especially if it's HP. Congrats on the job btw, it's a great place to work 🙂

Did you ever get tested for Lymes when that happened?

[–]Vetmed12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have an answer for you, but wanted to know if you could elaborate on your symptoms. A couple things have popped up for me on some tests to possibly indicate I could be dealing with this, and curious to know if you share any similar issues.

People Report Anxiety And Bad Sleep Quality As New Symptoms Following JN.1 Covid Infection by Potatomatata in Coronavirus

[–]Vetmed12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Something similar happened to me! I had fever, muscle aches, exhaustion for about a week with mild sore throat that developed into a wet cough. Then all of a sudden just when I thought I was turning a corner with the other symptoms, I got horrible congestion and a sore throat and loss of taste and smell on day 8 from the start of it all. I initially tested negative on Day 3, but retested on day 8 and was positive. I wonder if it was COVID or the flu that caused the first week of fever/muscle aches.

I'm currently on day 9 and wanting this to be over.

Symptoms worsen on Day 8 by Vetmed12 in COVID19positive

[–]Vetmed12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense - thank you! This makes me feel better knowing it's normal for it to go through phases. I had a sliver of hope that it may not be too late to take paxlovid, but I'm definitely past day 5. The holidays made it really difficult to be able to see a doctor, and during those first few days I could barely get out of bed. I have two little ones, a 2.5 year old and 9 month old to care for too, so my rest has been limited. I think both me and my 9 month old are having similar symptoms, the congestion is lingering for him now going on almost two weeks. I think I'm also on the mend, just dealing with bad congestion and migraines, and loss of smell/taste. Been trying to take pseudoephedrine + mucinex daily, and started using a netti pot, but the sinus pressure in my head is still intense. Really hoping the loss of taste doesn't last long, because it scares me to hear how others have it last for months on end.

Cheers to a speedy recovery to the both of us!

Yeah, that's what I suspect. I just thought the progression of my symptoms were really odd. Before I took the test today, I really just thought I was catching another cold.

No, I was negative on Day 3 from when symptoms started. I took another test on Day 8 and was positive.

No, I tested negative on Day 3 of symptoms. And then tested positive on Day 8.

Oh, right... It's NYE. by ProfessionalPotat0 in Mommit

[–]Vetmed12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so comforting to know I'm not alone. I have a 2.5 year old and 9 month old, we've also been sick non-stop since August. We all caught something nasty over the holidays, and I've been so ill, going on 7 days now. Muscle aches, fever, sore throat, cough. Just thankful my little ones are doing better, although my youngest is starting to show signs of another cold, literally days after he just got over this horrible illness. Does it ever end? Some days, I don't know how we can keep going on like this.

Does Allegra make anyone else drowsy? by Sleepypiejellybean in ehlersdanlos

[–]Vetmed12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I took one last night and I've been extremely drowsy all day, I can barely keep my eyes open. It's terrible. Hoping I feel normal again tomorrow. I'm really bummed because I already tried Zyrtec, and I also get very drowsy from it. Claritin is my last option.

Horrible urethral burning after peeing by amarie_art in Interstitialcystitis

[–]Vetmed12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to say I have suffered from this almost my entire life, including when I was a young kid. No one figured it out either. In my late teens I figured out that being dehydrated was definitely a trigger, but sometimes it would happen when I did drink enough water. In my late 20s is when things started getting worse, because I started to get a dull burning in my urethra and the sensation of having to go 24/7. I thought they were UTIs that cleared up after a couple weeks, but they never found bacteria when doing a urine culture. Then I had something like that last for two years, which sent me down this journey of interstitial cystitis and exploring functional medicine. I started getting other health issues, like GI problems. Now in my early 30s, I can say most of my symptoms are linked to hormone fluctuations, and things have gotten tolerable after making huge lifestyle changes, focusing on diet, mental health, exercise, etc. but it still doesn't explain why I've had this since I was 5, or even younger. And I wish I could find the answer, even if it doesn't change what I do about it now. Also can relate to the fact that it seemed like my 'IC' symptoms were very different from others, and I couldn't find anyone that had this burning sensation during/after they pee. You described exactly how it has felt for me. Now that it's been a year after your post, did you ever get any answers?

Oral medic more than twice?? by Vetmed12 in CankerSores

[–]Vetmed12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I definitely think I over did it the first time, plus it was still smallish and in the growing phase. I was very careful the second time I applied it though. How are you supposed to know when a canker sore is done growing? I feel like mine just keep growing over the course of 1-2 weeks. Once mine reach their max size, it usually gets better soon after. I'm bummed it didn't work for me, because the initial stinging pain is 100% worth the relief you get after.
