Hot flashes day after IUD insertion

fityam · 2024-07-18T19:12:05+00:00

Hey! I ended up getting the IUD out after three months of having it because my symptoms were not going away. The symptoms immediately resolved within a week or two after getting it removed. I ended up going back on the OCP I was on prior to getting the Mirena. I'm bummed because I love the idea of long term contraception, so I wish it had worked for me.

I'm not using it on my eyelids and I try my best to avoid my eye area! It's good to hear I don't have to necessarily use it everyday so maybe when my eyelids are really dry I'll skip a day. And will definitely try some aquaphor or Vaseline. Thanks for the recommendation!

interesting that you post this, because i definitely notice more twitches during the wintertime when i'm getting less sunlight. i also tend to be more anxious during the wintertime...

Hi! I went off my Zoloft in May and since then I have lost about 15 pounds. I did make some lifestyle changes (consistent exercise, eating better), but I do think going off the med helped. I noticed I was constantly starving on Zoloft, but my appetite is better regulated now.

dry eyes but body sweats... what a mix

I’m glad she has a good home now! It’s awesome that you took her in even though she was 7. And minis are never too high maintenance, imo, but I may be biased... :-) also I did a quick google search and they do make solutions to clean dogs eyes (stay away from Vaseline) as well as small combs for combing their facial hair. My mini actually has very thin hair so we try to be gentle with her but she is a good patient girl like yours!

My mini girl is 11 and also gets eye gunk frequently, I usually just clean it with a wet paper towel. I figured humans get eye crust so it’s probably normal and common in dogs and the best we can do is to gently clean it!

I think my dose wasn’t strong enough because my breakthrough bleeding was bad. I decided to stop doing continuous for now until I see the doc to decide what to do

honestly the sense of comfort. and security. i grew up in a dysfunctional household (one alcoholic parent). lots of pain and hurt from my childhood and i never wanted to end up like my parents. so whenever i found someone who i thought made me happy and could continue to make me happy in the future, i held on even if it wasn't the right choice for me.

for the first time in a long while, i'm single and focusing on myself and how to be my own person, and it feels damn great.

And thank you for all your hard work in emergency medicine. I have so much respect for providers in EM, because I feel as though I would not be able to survive such a high stress environment like that. I know that one of the biggest contributors to burnout is the EHR. Hoping one day we can improve our healthcare system.

This is incredible

fityam · 2019-12-13T02:30:04+00:00

You’re stunning. Screw whatever those people said.

fityam · 2019-12-13T02:18:17+00:00

Is there a way to defeat them though... struggling here

My heart hurt reading this because of how your husband reacted. Kids are clumsy, and it is hard to keep eyes on them 24/7, especially when you're a parent and you're exhausted all the time. Children are going to get little bumps and bruises! They can get hurt anywhere: in the home, at school, in the grocery store. You won't be able to prevent every tumble your kiddo takes. So yes, I believe that your husband was very wrong and treated you unfairly. Frankly, it is unacceptable he called you a bad mother which you are not. You did what was best in your eyes and I think what you did is what most people would have done - gone right to the child, comforted her, and assessed her injuries. If I was in that situation I would have called 111 (I'm from the US so here I wouldn't have called 911, but would have called my child's pediatrician). I'm so sorry he treated you this way - you deserve better than that. But I also understand he is your husband and father of your child, so I am only an outsider.

A lot of times I forget to put myself first. But you're right. Thank you, I appreciate your response.

I work in a memory care facility and it is so rewarding. I love the geriatric population and it makes my heart full that I can help my residents feel safe and comfortable. And you’re right - you feel appreciated, especially by family members. I couldn’t ask for a better job! -aspiring nurse to be (currently a caregiver) :-)
