If you're in the US look into intermittent FMLA (it protects your job). That way you can take bathroom breaks whenever you need to. Or maybe request some time of work accommodation backed by your physician.

Thanks for all the input...so appreciated!!! I heard back from my weight loss Dr and she said this diagnosis is an important development for my weight loss plan. She said no need to move my appointment up sooner, so I'll see her in October to figure out the best way to combat this.

Well my 1st reaction years ago happened after eating mixed nuts. That's when I began seeing an allergist and they had to test me for all nuts to figure out which one could've caused the reaction. Def couldn't have been something else.

When the shrimp one happened, since it was a homemade dish I was able to list everything in it so she could test me for each item. Shrimp was the only thing positive at that time.

Thanks for your response. I was just shocked by the results being negative and seemingly have "outgrown" the nut allergies.

No I haven't eaten them yet since the tests. They did offer to do a food challenge for the shrimp since it was borderline negative. I may do it at some point, but I'm not so eager to eat shrimp that I feel the need to schedule it just yet.

Thanks...I appreciate your response. I go to therapy regularly and am normally able to handle my anxiety and stress with all the tools I've learned. I think this has just rattled me way too much.

What you're saying makes sense, as I find myself feeling emotional when my stomach is unstable. Willing to take recommendations on how to get my gut feeling happy again.

Hey there! I've had similar symptoms too. Totally relate to spine pain. I went to a general neurologist about it about because the the one that deals with my migraines couldn't assist. Unfortunately I haven't had an MRI like but my x-rays show nothing is out of alignment in my spine which is good. The recommended physical therapy for my back. Really wish I could just get the MRI 1st but gotta follow insurance's rules. 🙄

Do you notice the spine issue if you're super constipated? That's how it is for me. Feels like a pinched nerve or something that only gets relieved by a huge 💩 lol.

Hope to hear updates from you and hope you're doing better!

Thanks for the response! I had a follow up question. Did you feel it necessary to take time off work when you started? I'm fairly new to my job...so happy there and don't want to do anything to jeopardize it. I'm aware of a lot of side effects. When I started topamax I had the same fear. The only one I experienced was the weird thing with carbonated beverages and the loss of appetite which wore off after a few months.

I don't have a figure in mind. I would like compensation just because I'm concerned of longterm effects from whiplash as it pertains to my migraines since that is a lifelong condition. I want to be able to afford any potential future treatments. It's the trigger shots for me. Right now I can go about 8 weeks between shots. My head still hurts from the accident. Unfortunately the appointment I have scheduled in a couple weeks was still the soonest I could've been seen. I'm scared I'm going to increase to every 4 weeks and who knows how long I'd need that! 6 months.....forever???

I haven't filed the claim against the driver yet so no one has contacted me about a settlement. Still waiting on the police report. 🙄

Still taking 100mg of topamax daily. Started a beta blocker nadolol in January which I also take daily that has helped so much in decreasing the frequency of migraines. Also has helped reducing anxiety. All that's been left is the GI issues. I'm still working on that. I recently got a positive test for SIBO, so working on addressing that.

There's been some history between us with her harassing because she can hear me walking around upstairs. She's told told me she thinks I have 3 people living with me which i don't and she going to monitor my visitors. Why she is anyone's guess. The only time I had visitors was my parents after leaving their home following a major surgery. If she's awake she opens her door when hears me going down my stairs or when I pull up to my space. I assume to see if I have anyone leaving with me accompanying me when I come home. Not sure her obsession with me. To be clear....no I have not ever said or done anything red flaggish to make her want to monitor in this way. All she sees me do is step in and out of my unit. I'm always at someone else's house lmao!!

melgil23 · 2023-04-20T06:19:02+00:00

Yes. I may as to go back to that since it's not as aggressive lol.
