What meds are you taking and Vitamins, minerals and any supplements?
How do you feel? Are there any times worse than other than other times?
I know being a 27 yo new mom that works outside the home is stressful -- is anything unusual to you, are you handling it OK???
Sort of nosey-- huh!!
God Bless--Harry

i don't think it is nosey, it is wonderful that you care.
i will try to answer as best i can, the baby was up most the night with a fever from his shots. i am so tired that i made coffee with yesterdays coffee still in the pot, needless to say my heater vent will agree with the best part of waking up is foldgers in your....vent? anyway......
i do still have pain under my rib. it is pretty constant and yet i can not pin point exactly where it is. if i lay on my back and try to palpate my abdomen area, i can not find a spot that is sore, nor could the doctor or the surgeon that operated on me. sometimes it feels like a pulled muscle, sometimes it feels like it is burning, sometimes it feels like a gas bubble. keep in mind that this "pain" is more of an annoying thing, like a 1-2 on a scale of 1-10. the right side is where the colon infection was, but it was in the lower right quad, not the upper.
there is a family history of gall bladder disease. however, i do not find that it gets worse or better by eating certain foods. i am having a bit of a problem with BM's. after all of these tests and having to clean out my system so often, i am having a hard time getting regular. it does seem like this pain gets more aggrivated when i have gas or feel a bit constipated. i took a ducolax the other night and i woke up to the most horrible cramping. i thought i was having another child, i had massive D and then nothing. that was 3 days ago, and i have not had another BM. sometimes i feel like i have trouble passing gas, but i think i get in those situations that i can't because i am teaching infront of several people and well.....you know.
the really interesting thing is that even though this is a very small pain on the scale, tylenol, advil, nor darvocet will touch it. the only thing that seems to help is xanax, but i think it makes it so i don't care about it anymore as opposed to actually taking it away.
i am currently taking (don't laugh) Flintstones chewable vitamin's. i know it sounds silly, but my OB recommended this because regular vitamins make me feel ukie. i am also slowing getting on candida relief, one pill a day, as it upsets my stomach a bit and the xanax, .25 a day, down from 1. a day. i am taking the candida relief as i had a lingering yeast infection and i have terribly sore knee joints along with frequent headaches and a foggy head. i think that has more to do with the rigors or riding a horse for the last 16 years and being a new mom, but just in case. i do take acidopholous (sp?) sometimes, primal defense and that seems to help too, but can make me feel bloated as well.
pepermint seems to be the only thing that will settle my nervous stomach. what i mean by that is it feels kinda nauseated, sour and tight, maybe a little bloated too. i should by stock in candy canes.
i am still anxious about my health, but getting better. i want to take yoga but the studio where i live hasn't called me back, i might have to go somewhere else.
here is the part where you will want to smack me...
i drink way too much coffee and pop, i am addicted to caffiene (sp?) i quit smoking long ago, don't drink, don't do anything else, but i can't seem to get away from the joe.
i hate water. i love to swim in it but hate to drink it. i kid you not when i say there has been a couple of YEARS in my life where the most water i drank out of a year was less than 6 cups. seriously. i am really trying to improve on that, i drink 2 16 oz cups a day and i have to force it.
i have gotten better about eating, but not where i should be. i am not much of a cook, but am learning as i go. i try to make at least 4-5 home cooked meals a week, the other times we go out or it's pizza. however, the rest of the day it's junk. i buy apples and oranges but they just sit there. somehow in my mind i would rather not eat than eat better. wierd.
and as far as being a new mom goes, i love it, but it is very very hard. my hubby works 8-5:30 and then mon, wed, and fri eve's i instruct as well as all day on sunday. i do 120+ lessons a month and am on my feet the whole time. it is a good way for me to get a work out, but very stressful as most of my clients are beginners and i have to be hyper vigilant the entire time. i do 3-4 people at once. i am home all day with my son, but fail to find the time to get the house work done. i have many many bills from a long ago past relationship where the man maxed out 25,000 of credit cards as a nice surpise for me, that i will be paying for another 7 years.
it is a cycle that i must break. i feel this thing in my side, it makes me nervous and depressed, so i loose my motivation and all i can do is take care of my son. when i work it is HIGH stress then back to taking care of the baby and being nervous about everything. i take the xanax and it makes me not care, and then it starts over.
wow, this is long, sorry about that, but thanks for your interest.
To nyxin about supplements!!!
