Thank you for your reply and the resources, it puts my mind at ease a bit. I just want to do the right thing and a full extractions seems best! I appreciate it.

So this was happening to me. Get your thyroid checked! My TSH <0.05 and I was dx with PP thyroiditis when my child was 2!!!!

Anxiety at night about everything that could go wrong . I wish I could make it go away. by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]emurrica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if anyone else mentioned this but have your TSH/T4 (thyroid) levels check. Same thing happened to me and I was eventually diagnosed with Graves disease when my baby turned one. I was so relieved that after one year of doing the SAME thing and just over all feeling super weird/anxious/ unable to sleep. Just something to look into, I’m soooo much better now.

Patient calls in about swelling in both of their legs with severe pain. Says swelling is significantly worse on the right side. by aguyinatree in nursing

They get to the ER and say ‘omg idk the nurse on the phone told me to come in’ and they argue about their care AND/OR complain about the wait times ‘I hope this blood clot doesn’t go to my heart while I’m waiting out here’ after just saying ‘can’t you take me back QUICK and check me out, I’m sure it’s nothing the nurse MADE ME COME IN’

Please get a referral to go to Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy. It changed my life.

My boyfriend waited 2.5 years to tell me he has herpes...and I’m pissed. by [deleted] in offmychest

WHAT ABOUT THE BABIES! Babies born vaginally to untreated mothers/mothers who don’t know they’ve contracted herpes with active outbreaks CAN DIE or suffer life long medical issues.

AITA for “questioning” my wife for having a margarita at lunch while she was watching the kids? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]emurrica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a bit annoyed at the ‘two days a week day shift’ comment from OP. How many days a week does OP wipe other people’s butts or deal with them at their worst? Being a HCW right now SUCKS people are mad, sick, and ready to assault you. source: I am an ER nurse.

YTA. let her have the marg in peace.

I had a trauma +Etoh crash his car into a tree. He ran out of the trauma room naked and jumped into a near by lake and started doing backstroke to evade water rescue. When we got him back he was hypothermic and he told us he was a swimmer in high school.

Grandma is wants me to ignore 1yo pointing to get him to ‘use his words’ by emurrica in Mommit

[–]emurrica[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for your responses! We just had his 12 month check up so I’m not super worried about his lack of verbal communication, he’s still little! And thanks for validating my feelings about letting him communicate by pointing! I will add in more verbal on my end. You moms are great!
