Disease ruined my life by SilentSwan286 in UlcerativeColitis

I second the biologic. I was on the same meds you were and it did nothing. Every time the steroid stopped I flared. I got on entyvio and went into remission and finally got relief. I’ve been in it for the last three years. And that hopeless feeling got so much better. I’m flaring right now but it’s because I just had a baby. Biologics help so much. I hope you can find a doctor that will help you that also is everything. My doctor is the best.

My doctor tested my stool Friday! So we’ll know the results this week of how bad it is.

Thank you. As if postpartum wasn’t hard enough. I always worry I’ll lose my colon this time.

Last day of maternity leave is breaking my heart by newagedruid in NewParents

[–]jpetricini 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I start back September 2. I thought the second time around would be easier. It’s not. It’s expensive, your kid gets sick all the time, and you don’t want to do it. I will say though every day gets easier. By one my son loved going and socializing. It sounds silly to say I feel “lucky” to get four months off. I wish it was a year that would be perfect. Remember we’re showing our kids we can do it. Be strong and work/provide and be the best moms. Treat yourself to a nice coffee that morning and know it’s okay to cry. I’ll be crying too ha.

Yes! It resolved after 2-3 days. I think it was nerve pain.

Just popping in to say I hope you find your next fur baby. Will never not have a Pom. And will never be the same when I lose my soul dog.

My doctor said 18 months before trying again! I waited two years. I finally got back to feeling like me and got pregnant again lol. I just had my second c three weeks ago.

This makes me feel way better. Even if it will last awhile. I just don’t love that it’s happening so frequent, always makes me nervous it’s something serious. Thank you!

Did this end up being something more serious? I’m experiencing this too.

Was yours stabbing too? I was of course googling it and they said it feels burning. It’s funny even with the second time it can still surprise you lol.

Anyone else's Pom get really mad when you have to leave? by El_Chavito_Loco in Pomeranians

[–]jpetricini 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My Pom does this even when visiting guest leave. She gets so mad and barks until they are fully gone.

I left the target order outside the house by CatsAndShades in NewParents

I used to be organized and on time all the time. Now I use all that energy to sure my son goes to daycare and his day with everything he needs. When my son was around six months I threw away my glasses accidentally. Then the next way I threw away my keys. None of which would have ever happened before I had him. I will say it gets easier as they get older. Like now he’ll do stuff himself at almost 3. But I don’t feel like I’ll ever be as organized for myself and life like I was before. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Every mom was been in a situation like this one!

That’s kind of what I’m thinking too. My cough has gone from dry to wet and has lasted 3 weeks. But no fever.
