Ailment Thread

Goddamn. Last night's cranberry juice and jack was the worst fucking idea ever. Apparently when they said no alcohol, there was a reason... Trying to drink your way out of feeling the discomfort of a uti is physically impossible. It just escalates. But at least it finally got me to the doctor this morning.

Just checked my blood sugar because I'm still paranoid about getting diabetes. It was 94. That normal? Had some coffee this morning (+ milk, sugar), a Vitamin Water, and some Pringles.

What would it read if I did have diabetes?

Poor Everybody!

That's very good. Wanna know mine? 62. You've nothing to worry about.

Also now I want Pringles.

I threw up my fruit toast and V8 tropical vege juice I had for breakfast. I got sick in my hair! Luckily I was on my way to have a shower anyway.
I also have this wisdome tooth that pops up and aches for a bit then pops backs down, but it's making me super paranoid. I've left a message for an appointment at the dentists.

Aww poor Sarah hope your morning sickness goes away soon and that they take care of your tooth.

I spent 3 hours in the ER today. My back has been bothering me on the lower left for the last couple of days. I thought I had just slept on it wrong. Tossed and turned all night last night because of the pain. No matter the position.....PAIN,PAIN and more PAIN! Only relief I could get this morning was by standing. My mom came over and took me to the hospital. They said it is either my muscle is inflamed, or it's sciatica. They gave me a steroid shot that last a week and a script for some non narcotic pain meds....Tramadol. Sadly they dont work. So I guess I will be in pain till I can get to the doc on Monday. This really sucks.

awww man that sucks. did they mention if you could add hot or cold compresses to help alleviate the pain at all?

I have one of those big gel ice pack thingys and they did say I could use it. It does numb it for a little bit.
If I didnt feel like I was giving birth out of the left side of my upper ass cheek,this really wouldnt be that bad.

Soooo either I gave birth in my sleep and hid the baby somewhere, or that steroid shot kicked in. I am healed! My back feels so much better today....Yay!

Hidden babies need the most love.

Yeah if only you could find the little fuckers!

So I followed up with my Doc today about the back pain and er visit. Still having the pain and now my left thigh is numb. She thinks its Sciatica. Sent me for xrays today. Put me back on pain med and muscle relaxer. I have a Physical Therapy evaluation on Thursday. Do. Not. Like. This. Pain in my ass, kinda literally.

Aww man that sucks.

The only ailment I have at the moment are blisters on my feet. Especially the one on my left heel/ankle area hurts because it popped open.

Blisters are a bitch! Especially when they pop, then you are super uncomfortable no matter what shoes you wear.

I got a heat blister last night (that I popped almost immediately) when I was burning a plastic bag and it melted and fell on my finger causing instant pain. I ripped the blister open really because I scraped the melted plastic stuck to my finger. It was weeping earlier as was getting irritated from writing and typing at work so I bandaged it.

Damn Jaz.

I want to snort a row of ibuprofen.

My xrays came back today and I have some degeneration and arthritis in my back. No sciatica. I start my Physical Therapy tomorrow. So if I dont have sciatica, why is my left thigh numb? Will that go away with the Physical Therapy? "I'm going to ask them there people at that place about this." (I was saying that in my head in a kinda country mans voice) It was funny, truly it was.

Dang that doesn't sound good.

Yeah that sounds even more terrible than just sciatica. I hope that you will feel better soon.

I want to eat and not worry about stuff going into the hole where my tooth is.
Also, morning sickness. Ugh.

Just make sure you gargle Sarah with salt water.

Why would I gargle Sarah with salt water?

I blacked out today in the street, possibly after smoking 4 or 5 cigarettes in a place where I got really hot. This or it was a hypoglycemic crisis, which would make sense because I haven't really stuck to the diet lately. I'm getting blood work done next week anyway so I should be ok.

Oh my gosh, poor you Irina! Hope you have had something to eat now??

PS Give up smoking.

Yeah, this is probably a good idea.

Thank You Sarah. Went to the Physical Therapy evaluation today. Nate is my PT guy and he gave me an extensive exam. He says I do have a pinched nerve, but not the sciatic he's pretty sure. The one that is pinched lines up with my thigh being numb. So I am going to go twice a week for two weeks and he thinks I should be good to go then.

PS He said no exercising until this is healed, which kinda upset me because I had myself all motivated to start. Oh well this will give me more time to prepare and take that tour at the gym.

Oh a pinched nerve, that sounds better than arthritis or sciatica! But it also sounds pretty owie.

Jaz, do you mean gargle salt water for my tooth or for the morning sickness? I have been doing the salt water rinse every 4-6 hours for my tooth.

I'm feeling soooooooooooooooo nauseus. It's been a really bad day for it. I threw up at work this morning. I feel like throwing up now and it's 6pm. Waaaaaah!

Yeah I meant for the tooth. I'll ask my mom about the nausea. I'm not sure if it's safe to drink baking soda in water while you're pregnant but it's supposed to help with nausea. I want to say my mom drank it while she was pregnant but I can't remember.

Sarah have you tried some hot tea with Ginger in it. Ginger helps with nausea, also you could try some peppermint candy. I had terrible morning sickness with both of my boys and these seemed to help. I feel bad for you. I know the nauseousness can really suck.

Hey Winnie, I'm not a huge ginger fan usually, but I have found that a cold ginger beer does help, and sometimes I'll add ginger concentrate to my water or soda water. I have some peppermints hamdy to suck on, I usually need to grab one before I'm about to drive. I'm not feeling too bad today, but the smell of the cat food made me gag.

I think I've felt the little person moving!

Awwww that is so exciting Sarah! Not the smell of the cat food gagging you, but the little peanut moving!

That should go in the miracle of life thread! So exciting Sarah, I'm sure the yucky nausea will be well worth it.

I have a knot in my upper back and it's bothering me. Too bad it's the masseuse's day off(Shit, I wish I had a masseuse).

I've always said if I won the big lottery I would have a personal chef and a masseuse to massage me to sleep every night. That would be so awesome.

I'm definitely getting a maid and a gardener.

Yes. A maid for sure. I get so tired of cleaning everyday. I forgot about one of those....DUH!

My throat hurts and my voice is all funny. I've given myself laryngitis from throwing up so much. And all those germy little babies.

Oh noes, feel better Sarah!

Those germy little babies! *shakes fist*

I don't know if I'd dealing with allergies or possibly getting a cold. Eitherway I don't like it.

Grrrr at snot.

Had alot of errands to run yesterday. Felt tired all day and not like myself. Something was off. Got up this morning with you guessed it...Head Cold. Fuck Me!

that sucks. I'm surprised I haven't got a cold yet. Been having allergies though

Yeah, I wish I knew who gave this to me. I would so spit on my hands and touch all over their face and mouth. Give it back to them....yep that's what I'd do.

Can one's ribs hurt? No accidents, no exercise. If not, I might have a lump. Or more, cause last month it hurt me in the left side of my chest, and now in the right one.

That doesn't sound too good. Are you on any anti infammatory drugs? Lung issues?

I've been experience lots of pregnancy wierdness.
Tingling below my breasts, and sometimes in my breasts. I think this has something to do with the baby moving up and everything in my body having to make way for it.
Terrible morning cramps in my calf muscles.
Waking up with pins and needles in my arms.

And much more to come!
