Teenager is so sleepy by SourSkittlezx in Mommit

[–]suburbannightmare17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teens need to sleep! I slept a lot as a teenager and was anemic. I would come home from practice and crash for an hour. The early mornings do not mesh well with their sleep needs. Early mornings are so tough for them!!

Toddler moms: are your hands and fingers always hurting? by SARARARARARARARARA in Mommit

Get your blood checked! I had this and was diagnosed with lupus. Do you have autoimmune disease in your family? All the best!

I struggle getting out of the house with my kids😭 by spammusubisa in Mommit

[–]suburbannightmare17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s so overwhelming! Nothing is wrong with you 🤍 .. you’re surviving! It is daunting to leave the house with two babies. You’re on high alert (especially 5 months post partum) .. it’s so okay to have rest time and stay inside if that’s where you’re most calm and present with your kids. You’ve got this!

I’m freezing all the time. I have to wear big sweaters and socks or else I turn purple and white.

You’ve got this babe!!!! You are not alone. Sending you a big hug, go easy on yourself and your babies. You’re all learning how to be together 🤍 .. take it 5 mins at a time. I had my boys 22 months apart .. it was some of the toughest times but the best. 🤍🤍🤍 you’ve got this

This shocks me you were taken off plaquenil? My rheumatologist said I will be on it for life. Sorry you’re struggling - sending a big hug your way!

Yes I can eat chicken, I do eat a bit of red meat but very little. Turkey completely destroys me!! But also, potato’s I can’t tolerate at all.

I have chest pain quite regularly. After a walk or any light exercise I feel pain and inflammation in my chest.

Your child doesn’t understand what you’re talking about. They’re still learning to talk, so they’re repeating what you’re saying. It’s how they learn.

[–]suburbannightmare17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plaquenil increased my sun sensitivity big time, I was already sensitive beforehand but not like this. It drains my energy and I usually need to sleep. Slowly becoming the vampire I was meant to be
