Hi Hibee! Nice to pop on here and see your name! Sorry to hear of your health struggles. I’m hopeful that 2023 will be a better year for us all! Hugs...
LMD, just checking in! ❤️...
I’m good! I’m the same really. 😂 They didn’t just hand it off to your doctor right then and there? That seems cruel to make you wait all day for those results! For me it wasn’t consistent and has...
Hey Girl!! How are you?! This has definitely happened to me before! It’s super reassuring that you’ve had recent exams come back normal. When are you going for your ultrasound?...
Thank you! I’m waiting for my test before I restart meds because they want to see how things look at my worst. I’ve been told I have reflux, but never a formal diagnosis of GERD. I assume they do...
I did but she felt we should just do the endoscopy for now. However I do plan to talk to her about my concerns tomorrow. Not ideal but if needed I can book the colonoscopy for another date. My...
Thank you! Covid test today was negative as I expected/hoped! Thursday is the scope. Saying some prayers because anxiety is running wild....
Weary! Hi!! Good to hear from you as well!! Yes….I can’t even believe it myself! My oldest is 8.5 and youngest is 5! How have we been here for this long. I can remember being here with all of you...
Thank you!!...
So she doesn’t want me taking anything until after the endoscopy, so that I don’t calm down the problem. Then we’ll go forward and talk about new meds. I don’t know about you, but this much acid...
GG- The doctor actually brought this up right away, so I know they are planning to do this. Thanks for the tip! I’m anxious but excited because I’m desperate for some answers. The stress plus the...
Thanks HT. Good to see you. Hope you are doing well. ❤️...
So far my doctor thinks that scar tissue has narrowed my esophagus and now new acid is making it irritated. I guess I’ll have answers next week. I’m hoping it’s not more serious. My poor boys have...
Tim Tam- I’ve read the same and couldn’t agree more. We will hear more from our school this week and I’m praying that masks will be required. My children will be wearing them either way, until they...
I should add that I’m having an endoscopy next week. Kind of wish we were doing my colonoscopy too but that’s still a year out…...
Hi everyone!! It’s been awhile now. Maybe not that long? 6 months? I honestly have lost track of time. I’m back with GI issues that I think are stress related. I tend to have IBS and reflux flares...
Weary, good to hear from you too. Thank you for the well wishes. It’s a LONG road for her but I’m hoping she’s ready for all of it. The kids are SO big now. 8 and 4! They’ve both been home doing...
Karen, thank you!! I am a very firm believer that you have to “mask yourself first” so that you’re able to mask everyone else. If I don’t get my head right first, I certainly can’t offer good care to...
Hibee! Thank you. You’re right. Setbacks are frustrating but I have to remember I’m but stuck here. My sister has a long road ahead but is taking all the steps so fingers are crossed for her. This...
Yea! I LOVE the Calm app. I use it daily!...
Thank you all. My sister is currently living with my parents very close by so we see her as much as possible given everything going on with Covid. I am just going through my emotions after everything...
Thank you, Tim Tam. I have spent the past month checking on my sister and making sure that she is getting started with recovery and treatment and doctors, etc. I am back here now because the stress...
Thanks, HT. Nice to see you again. :-)...
Thank you. I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing similar physical stuff. I thought it was just IBS for me due to stress but we now think I have had food poisoning and it’s just been getting...
I have yes. I do have meds for anxiety but I haven’t changed anything since my sister’s attempt....
I have a therapist who I adore and I plan to see my doctor ASAP. My brain just doesn’t know how to process all of this right now and I’m so worn down......
Hi All, I don’t recognize many names anymore. I’m back after quite awhile away. My anxiety is off the charts these days because my sister attempted suicide over the holidays. I’m filled with so much...
Hey, hey!! So I have not had the genetic testing for cancers, BUT, I did have a colonoscopy for random GI issues and turns out that while totally unrelated, I had the type of colon polyps that would...
Hi Girl! In a word, hormones!!! Hope you’re feeling ok! I have a mammogram in a week or so and I know the stress!...
Hi!!!! Mine are 3.5 and 7 now! How about you?! It’s crazy and anxiety causing so I hate it and love it and I’m sure you get it!! LOL!! Truly since I have to get colonoscopies every 3-5 years, I think...
Hi LMD!!! Lots of things can contribute to changes in bowel movement! Does Colon Cancer run in the family? The fact that you had a colonoscopy and it was clear 5 years ago really speaks volumes!! If...
This is only my first message to Larry, as I need to gather all of my thoughts and love. Larry, you have walked me through my toughest times and I am here to walk you through yours. My entire heart...
Hey LMD! Sorry to hear you’re not feeling great! Anything that lasts over a few weeks is totally acceptable to check in with your doc. Also, you may be surprised and find out you actually are...
Hi Friend. I recall this always being an issue for you with this crowd at work, but I don’t recall you ever mentioning sound sensitivity in any other aspect of life. Do you think it’s your overall...
I also take .5. I would ask your doctor about increasing your dose. Good luck!...
Well if a true semen analysis is not allowed, then you really just have to focus on your relationship and your love for this man. If you share such strong and similar beliefs then maybe this is just...
Eliza, Have he had a semen analysis to confirm this?...
I took Xanax as needed for my entire pregnancy as instructed by my Maternal Fetal Medicine Doctor. I found that knowing it was still an option helped me a lot and I took it much less and only when I...
No, I don’t think it makes me less sharp at all. I started at a dose of .25 and years later during a bad panic time I bumped up to .5 and that is where I’ve stayed. Honestly, I no longer work as I...
For me it just makes me feel more capable. I can go into a situation and not feel as awkward or like all I can focus on is uncomfortable physical sensations. I take a very appropriate dose of Xanax...
Ummm yay, hi Larry!!! Ok. So I’m on a beta blocker for blood pressure but have tried it for anxiety before and it really didn’t do much for me. However, I don’t just have social anxiety issues, but...
Thank you Weary! I thought after endometrial ablation you weren’t supposed to have periods anymore?...
I will update for sure! Ugh, this feels unfair....
Thanks, SC!!! Doc Google did mention perimenapause and I’m ok with that if that’s the case! I’m 37 and I was 90% done with having children, so as long as it’s nothing serious, then bring it on! Being...
Ok, long story short....I’m terrified I have some sort of female reproductive organ cancer! On Day 3 of my cycle, I woke up and had soaked through an overnight tampon. I went to take it out and began...
Hi LMD! I totally think your headache is related to the exam! Your muscles were probably so tense and tight. You may have pinched something. This has happened to me more times than I can count! Can...
Did you end up sticking with it, or did you stop? I still haven’t tried it!...
Hey!! Are you still on it now?? Feeling good??...
It does sound new. No one I ask seems to have any knowledge of it!...
Hibee, Apparently for treatment of anxiety.25 or .5 may actually help? I’m a little confused really....
