You might want to look into to switching her to soy milk if this is a continued problem. You could also try little tummies laxative drops, they've worked for my friend's child. You should be able to...
Also just wanted to add a suggestion. Many hospitals have dietitians that can help you with your diabetic diet needs. A lot of insurances cover it, and if not it's worth looking into a support group...
Haha, thanks you two. I felt so silly. I did call 911 one time over a deer me and a friend hit. I wish I hadn't though. The cop came and took a report and then, without warning us, he shot the thing...
Today I called the fire department to come get a "cat" out from under my porch. I tried to get it out myself, by digging a trench type thing so it could crawl out, but freaked out when I saw how big...
My prayers are with you tyno, and I wish you the best during such a difficult time....
Thanks everyone, I'm really excited!! Since I have PCOS I was told long ago that I wouldn't be able to have kids...but guess I fooled them, haha! The doctors only know so much, they don't know what...
Just wanted everyone to know that I found I am pregnant today!! I am so excited. I have two boys already, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a girl this time around. Either way though...so...
Maybe you should look into seeing a new doctor. If your concerns aren't being addressed in a way that satisfies you, you should seek out someone who you feel listens to you. Maybe at least try...
Lisa, Thank you too for your reply. I have indeed talked to my son about all of this, but I'm not sure how well I did at it. I will certainly keep trying though. I have to admit that talking to him...
Thank you for your reply dagger. This is a fairly new development for my son. Last year his teacher said that he spoke out of turn some, and acted up some at the parent teacher conferences, but she...
I have fibro and diabetes. I'm not sure how common it is to have both. The biggest thing that causes me problems from the combo of the two is the fatigue. I get it from the fibro side and the...
Thank you all so much for your replies! I cannot tell you how scared and guilty this all makes me feel. Someone said something about him possibly thinking I was going to die....well his grandmother,...
I don't love shopping, but it's not the worst thing in the world for me. We only have one car and live well out of "town", so sometimes the grocery store is the only time I get to go to an actual...
I would love to have a new mattress! I also have a pillow top, and some how that crazy thing has gotten bunched up under the pillow top. It now has waves and dips in it, and I have no clue how to fix...
I wanted to ask a couple of questions today. First of all I am a mother to two boys, ages five and six. My first question has to do with fibro affecting your family. My 6 year old has been having...
Ohh, someone is going to go see New Moon, lol. I'll be at the theater Thursday night/Friday morning at midnight watching it too! Make sure you try the vitaminD if you haven't yet, it really helped me...
Thank you Marlee. I am just trying to determine where this fibro came from, or pinpoint a time frame. A lot of people say they got it after accidents and stuff, but I haven't been in one. It's just...
I have had two c-sections. The last one was five years ago. When I had the first one, I had a mild allergic reaction to the epidural, but was told it was nothing serious. On the second one I had a...
rusty, Just wanted to let you know that there are several youtube videos out there. Maybe your family will watch a couple of them with you, since they don't want to read stuff. Just a thought. I hope...
I don't know if it's just me or if anyone else has this problem. Whenever I am in a flare, and I am in between doses of my medicine and I start hurting (not pain meds, neurontin, by the way), i...
I'm sorry you are hurting :( Have you tried a hot bath or a heating pad? I find that heat will help my pain short term. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon....
I am frustrated that school has been in for less than 2 weeks and my 6 year old has been to the office 3 times! I am frustrated because I don't know how handle the situation, because he isn't like...
Thank you all so much for the tips and vitamin suggestions! I will absolutely look into them. As for the orange juice and my diabetes, well, since I have lost so much weight recently, it doesn't even...
Ivy6, I'm not sure I know what you're talking about. I pace all the time though, because it helps the pain on occasion. I do have to rest frequently though, so that may not be what you mean. As for...
I have been so exhausted lately. It's all I can do to get up my stairs, and when I do I am out of breath. How do you guys and gals combat this? I can't do the caffeine, it gives my muscles cramps. I...
DonniesGirl, I live in Ohio too, no wonder we're feeling the same. This crazy weather! I am Not looking forward to the winter! Last winter almost killed me (or so I thought)....
You all please pray for me, the rest of this week is due to be highly humid and stormy. My legs are already in fits! I don't know if anyone else reacts to weather this way but it just sends my body...
Just wanted to make a quick note here sassy. The pain you have will only be increased when the loritabs wear off. If you are taking more than prescribed, that means that when they wear off, your pain...
Hello everyone, It's been forever since I posted on here! So much has happened/been going on that I just didn't have a chance. First of all I was tested for Lupus, and they said the blood work was...
Just wondering if this could be related to Parkinson's Disease. I've known a couple of people with it and it sounds like the kinds of movements they do. Please ask your Doc about it. Most likely it's...
Oh thank God! I mean, really. I thought this was going to be a post about some other bizarre fibro related symptom that caused freakish mole growth. I read 'whack a mole" and thought...well that's...
Hi there my fibro-homies. I am newly diagnosed with this, as previously stated in earlier posts by me, and now I have a question. MrsCavBar says that caffeine and HFC are no-nos for people with...
vestablua, I just looked and It doesn't have a removable warning label. All the warnings are printed on the actual heating pad. It says it's not to be used by infants or invalids, or unconscious...
That's awful! Can you possibly find another doctor? That would be my first choice for you in getting better care and meds. If you can't find a different doctor then I would just be as clear with...
I usually take a nap at some point during the day too, whenever my kids take theirs. Without fail when I am getting ready for these naps, I am thinking, "Man this is going to be great....just what I...
Just wanted to say thanks for the rice sack tip. It works beautifully, and I love it. I just used the instant rice I had in my cupboard, and it seems to work fine. Thanks again!...
My legs hurt non stop. Unless I am on a very strong pain killer, I can't really function. The doctor says eventually it will subside, but the wait is driving me insane. My neck and wrists hurt too,...
cbear-- I really understand how you feel! I posted a very similar post a few days ago, when I first found this site. Just that first step of letting it out and knowing that people are here to listen,...
Yes Shash13, I really like the sound of this rice thing. I have a couple of questions though, that I didn't think to ask before. First of all, does it have to be long grain rice, can I use white rice...
Bless your heart. Don't give up sweetie, something will change. I know it's frustrating. I have PCOS, which causes facial hair as well, and I know it's awful. You just have to continue to hold your...
Oh I didn't think about bengay working, and I've never heard of the rice in a sock thing. That sounds like a really good idea, especially for my neck, like you said. Thank you for the suggestions. I...
I am in mourning as of 11 pm(ish) last night. My dear and faithful heating pad kicked the bucket. It was an aqua heating pad that had cold and hot settings (though I never once used the cold). It was...
Sandy, Reading your post was almost like reading a mirror, if that makes sense. I have all the same symptoms, and it is indeed very frustrating. I don't think my memory is too bad yet, but the eating...
Once again I thank you all. Chutz, about the state supported health insurance, is that the same thing as medicaid? If it is, I don't qualify for it, we make $200 too much to get it. If it's not the...
Thank you all, so , so much. Just logging back on here and seeing that people had replied to me lifted my spirits. I am still new to the fibro life, and maybe for a while need all the support I can...
Hi to everyone. I'm new here and just wanted to introduce myself and meet some people. I want to be upfront about my health right away. I have diabetes, first of all. Secondly, I have not been...
