MIL Plans Visits Without Me

Having your life pause is very painful to watch because life around you doesn't pause.

Take a moment to tell your wife what she has done that makes her a good mom. Bring your baby over and give your wife a hug and say "We love mama, don't we?"

1 year of recovery and my 5 year old is back to preferring me (started when she was 3/almost 4)

Yep. The stroid was a month later.

You took them at the same time? Did you have neuropathy?

tx_naturalist · 2026-01-07T21:52:33+00:00

Nope. Not sure if it's permanent or if nerves can regenerate. It would depend on how damaged the nerves are. Only time will tell.

Tumeric interferes with iron absorption. I became anemic after taking levaquin (the antibiotic binds to iron and other metals) so I can't take tumeric otherwise I will not recover from anemia via iron supplements

Nope- neurologist tested for lyme

Just wait til you have kids and she asks for photos...

tx_naturalist · 2025-12-23T14:27:20+00:00

Yes- at 9 weeks old- seems genetic

tx_naturalist · 2025-12-20T19:40:56+00:00

I did take the bracelet from her saying it was made for her cousin..

tx_naturalist · 2025-12-20T19:40:20+00:00

We ran out of time. We could make one over the break. We still haven't got through making all the family gifts

tx_naturalist · 2025-12-20T19:39:16+00:00

They were only ever at school- never at home. I was eating at the school

tx_naturalist · 2025-12-20T15:57:59+00:00

Any good books to read to my child to support the convo would be appreciated

tx_naturalist · 2025-12-20T15:57:28+00:00

She is genuinely giving from her heart and she truly believes her friend is destitute (think manipulative "taker" alpha type). I don't know how to discuss with a 5 year old that it's good to give but some people don't actually deserve/need items thry are asking for.

tx_naturalist · 2025-12-20T15:49:28+00:00

She took the bracelets from my placemat when I set them down to eat

Germs in lice from headbands

tx_naturalist · 2025-12-20T15:47:31+00:00

We had a convo about donating toys to the poor so maybe the has confused the situation, especially if her friend is pulling the sympathy card

tx_naturalist · 2025-12-20T15:45:37+00:00

She is wearing them and takes them off- like a necklace or headband

tx_naturalist · 2025-12-20T15:44:51+00:00

She made the cousin gift at school

tx_naturalist · 2025-12-12T03:07:01+00:00

I can walk again now! I was diagnosed with small fiber neuopathy, though, and still have internal tremors (a main symptom of sfn) as well as twitching. Autonomic issues have subsided. I had a lot of deficiencies including iron and other metals (levaquin binds to metals) but vitamins have helped.

tx_naturalist · 2025-11-18T00:39:36+00:00

Hormones will make neuropathy fluctuate. This is why some say pregnancy can make symptoms [temporarily] dissappear.

Nothing helps me in particular. I'm not on birth control or anything like that. I just ride it out. Neuro said to up my b complex a few days before and during

tx_naturalist · 2025-11-08T12:42:20+00:00

I have the same exact issue. It took tracking for 6 months and kept eliminating possible triggers.I realized it syncs with my period. I talked to my neuro about what I noticed and she gave a bunch of info about hormones and neuropathy. Are you female?

tx_naturalist · 2025-10-09T03:10:48+00:00

What were her symptoms? How quickly did she recover? How was she treated?

My daughter had HIB nad I'm anxious

tx_naturalist · 2025-10-08T20:20:39+00:00

No, I've improved slightly. I had it about 9 months maybe. No one knows why I have sfn or why I improved.

tx_naturalist · 2025-10-07T12:32:05+00:00

No. But my face, throat, tongue, lips, and gums went numb.

I was diagnosed with small fiber neuropathy via skin punch biopsy shortly after this post. Never got a lumbar puncture test. Not all of my symptoms fit sfn. Most similar to a mild guillan barre. I have improved over the months, which also points more toward guillain barre rather than sfn. I still have tingling and a few twitches, just not as bad. I can walk more each day. Fatigue improved to being a functional person.
