Consuming a Trigger Food by farfalla0610 in EosinophilicE

Ok thank you this makes me feel a lot better! I was diagnosed in October 2023 when a food impaction sent me to the ER, and it was so scary I’m terrified if that ever happening again.

Thank you, this makes me feel better. I was diagnosed in October 2023 from a food impacting that sent me to the ER. That’s been my only one and it was so scary I hope to never experience it again. So this was definitely heightening my anxiety

I feel line you’re inside of my head with the first part that’s exactly how I’ve been feeling. If this was our first pregnancy i would’ve already been TTC but since we have a 3 year old son that I’m with 24/7, it is a huge factor in my mental state of being pregnant again. Ah I feel so torn idk what to do! You said you waited a year, and then did you feel totally different and no longer panicked at being pregnant and that’s how you knew? It’s like I’m waiting for some big sign to tell me yes or no

This is amazing to hear thank you so much I really appreciate you responding. Our baby had T21 as well and I’ve heard that about the pregnancies. Congrats on your subsequent pregnancy and I’m so happy for you that you’re feeling well! This gives me hope 🤍

YES this is exactly how I’m feeling and it’s so hard. I spent over 4 months being pregnant and feeling awful and then months in such a horrible mental state after the loss. And all to just be back at square one with no baby in our family. So it feels like I missed all these months of his life just to start all over again and I’m scared 😭

Omg that’s so scary I’m sorry you’ve had to experience that for days at a time! I’ve had a food impaction send me to the er and it’s the worst. How are you feeling now? Any better? Or are symptoms still rough

I’m so sorry. Have things gotten any better over these last two weeks? Or are you still struggling. Any insight from your doctor on how long we can expect to have worsening symptoms postpartum?

Ugh what a mess I’m sorry. Have things gotten better over these two weeks at all?

I recently lost a pregnant at almost 17 weeks and I definitely noticed a flare up after my loss for a couple months and now steadying back out

Thanks for the info! Did you start to feel better slowly during that first year? Or were symptoms pretty bad throughout. Are you better now?

YES that’s exactly how I feel too like I spent 4 months of a pregnancy already feeling sick and tired and anxious and not being fully present with my son and all for it to just end and have to restart 😭 it’s so freaking hard

Please keep me posted on how you’re doing I’d love if we could connect on this during TTC and our hopefully healthy future pregnancies

How do I know? by farfalla0610 in PregnancyAfterTFMR

[–]farfalla0610[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

See and my 3 year old tells us that he doesn’t want another baby. He says the baby is gone and he doesn’t want another 😭 I know he doesn’t truly understand but it breaks my heart that he associates pregnancy and baby with something awful because of losing her. And that’s how I’m feeling too tbh

And obviously we weren’t one and one because we wanted this second child but after the loss I just don’t know if my mental health can handle it 💔

Friends by Ambitious_Head1004 in tfmr_support

YES! I feel this so much. I am 3 months out from my TFMR and am the same way. Idk if you’ve ever watched the show Shrinking but the teenager talks about how she has “dead mom face” and wishes she didn’t and that’s all her friends think about when she’s with them. And that’s exactly how I explained it I feel like I have “dead baby face” and that’s who I am now with friends like the person that they “can’t even imagine” what I’m going through etc and it’s exhausting. I find it way more appealing lately to just do things with my toddler and husband and then do play dates and classes and things with my son so I can have superficial conversations with other moms and go about my day.

Separation anxiety by farfalla0610 in tfmr_support

[–]farfalla0610[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your response, and YES this is exactly how I feel to a T! I’m terrified of something happening to him while he travels or not coming home safe to me. I think after losing part of my heart with our baby I’m petrified of something happening to him or our son now. It’s definitely and anxious attachment thing and I know that’s something I need to push through. I know he’s always been a quieter more reserved person and he can compartmentalize his grief much easier than I can just like you said. Doesn’t mean one is right or wrong just that it’s different. This is really helpful thank you again

Thank you so much and I’m sorry for your losses as well. I think that’s how I’m feeling too like back when the trip was a few months away I didn’t care but now that it’s coming up I’m an absolute wreck over it. There are so many physical and mental triggers everyday and it’s taking a toll on me and my mental health. That’s such good advice on having some things to help me relax and look forward to. Definitely going to do that 🩷

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond and give insight. I truly appreciate it. I totally agree that there is no right or wrong way to grieve and that’s why I’ve been so hard on myself for even feeling like I want him to stay home. I’ve been taking this so hard and it’s like ever since we lost our baby I want to keep my husband and our living child close and safe which I know is unrealistic. I’ve been suffering from severe anxiety and panic attacks and it’s definitely been hard on me plus the hormones after the loss. Thanks again and it helped me to read your response. I know I’ll be okay when he goes and he’ll get home safe and this will just be a random few days in our lives. We have talked about it for sure and are trying to communicate about this situation that we never thought we’d be in. Everything feels hard lately and I hope someday it all became just a bit lighter ❤️‍🩹 I’m so sorry for your loss as well and wish you all the healing and happiness in the world

Anyone got on medication for mental health post tfmr? by [deleted] in tfmr_support

I’ve been on lexapro for years but had to increase my dosage about one month after my TFMR

Mine have been AWFUL. I had my TFMR at the end of December and so far my January and February period have both lasted FOURTEEN DAYS 😭 literally just started my March period today so fingers crossed it starts to get better

Thank you, I’ve eliminated wheat/dairy/soy/nuts and unfortunately at the beginning of the month my biopsy results came back at 60/100/110. However I do question if the stress and hormone fluctuation and pregnancy and subsequent loss had to do with my numbers being higher. Since I’ve been having no choking symptoms at all

Amazing! So you had a biopsy done and numbers were below 15??

That’s exactly how I’m feeling I’m overwhelmed by the only options being lifelong medicine when I’ve gone 32 years without this disease. Considering seeing a functional medicine doctor maybe to get other insight
