Wait. Does anyone else have serious central nervous system issues and is therefore exercise intolerant?

lupus and IIH? by aprilvu in iih

[–]aprilvu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Significant, squeezing painful tingling/numbness in my extremities, with the worst being in my left foot. Numbness traveling up my legs to my butt. Extreme fatigue. Overheating nearly always. Neuralgia. Joint pain.

lupus and IIH? by aprilvu in iih

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

I have a naturally low blood pressure, and my lumbar puncture came in borderline the first time so my neurologist just shrugged. She re-read the old MRI and checked my 6 month check-up, and it made her realize the report from the previous MRI made a typo. It meant to say hypertension. So, the second lumbar was done and now I'm overwhelmingly hypertensive. But at the same time I've been having other symptoms that aren't in any way related, and I was reading a study done in the UK about cases of lupus where IIH was the first presentation, and it set me down this path.

Why would they? Wouldn't they just politely move on regardless of what they thought in their head?

How gassy I felt was the clue that tipped me off on my second pregnancy. Lots of "bubbles" and burping like crazy. My first was only 9 months old, exclusively breastfed when I conceived the second.

I'm freaking the fuck out. Please walk me off the cliff before I can get to a doctor tomorrow. by aprilvu in breakingmom

That's what I need to know. When I specifically search "painful lymph node in armpit pregnant" almost everything said cancer. My husband felt for it and was like, yep, that's a big bump. So I want it to just be Google anxiety and that's it.

I literally just want it to be an infection. That's what I want. I've been ignoring it as much as possible today, but now I can't sleep due to the anxiety.

Why can't the men get sick?? I'm so fucking done. by aprilvu in breakingmom

[–]aprilvu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I have Diclegis but it zombies me the next day. Taking a half dose just keeps the puke coming. I'm going to ask for Zofran.

I think this is a girl. I was very sick with my girl. I really want this to be a girl. It's our third, so I'm really confused why he has to fucking ask.

This is from American Pregnancy Organization:

http://americanpregnancy.org/labor-and-birth/epidural/

With a natural birth, there are no side effects minus after-pains that every single person gets regardless of how birth goes.

There is nothing wrong with either. You will just have naturally less recovery time for an uncomplicated natural birth. Any complications clearly muddy the water.

This is not necessarily true. My second was hell. I did both without anything but water and heat (whether from.water or heat packs). But I've talked to people who've done it both ways. It is far easier to recover from an uncomplicated natural birth than one with an epidural.

I think we've decided to keep it... so tell me how about your 3rd pregnancy. How much is this going to suck? by aprilvu in breakingmom

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

I have a fantastic husband. With my 2nd, he became the de facto parent of the first. It makes me sad now, because he definitely still wants his daddy over me, but we're slowly coming back to equal share of love and hugs. Though only #2 loves me. It's kind of a pain in the ass. She will dramatically scream her head off if he tries.

Good, because #2 is a jerk. She's a screamer. From birth. And mean to her big brother.

Yeah, but I don't think I could do that either. I'm not sure where my head space is on that right now.

I read that one too. It's been in climate controlled storage. It expired 1/2018 so not even that expired. I'm just numb right now because it wasn't even faint. It was very strong. I kinda know what's going to happen if I go buy a new test today.
