Yikes!! That sounds terrible! I have a lot of dental problems, genetic in origin, but I've had a couple abscesses and OMG. Horrible. I hope you get relief very soon.

It's great you are getting some good help. Pregnancy was very difficult for me, but so worth it after all. I ate a LOT of plain rice for a while. Hopefully you can stop throwing up soon.

I've had a headache for the last 1&1/2 months. It seems to be part or this pregnancy. The morning sickness has been fairly bad and I have lost about 10lbs. I'm seeing my Hemitologist in Saskatoon on Monday. I am hoping that the roads are good, it is currently snowing and blowing. I'll be getting a referral to an OBGYN because this is a high risk pregnancy.

Instead of; breaking my back, I broke my pride by breaking a valuable possession. Didn't want DW to do everything so I tried and failed
Bottom line is that I don't really care and can't even cry.

Correction Did hurt back

He did say he would help me with my LTD too...so now that is Two drs that will help...omg if I could have income it would reduce a lot of stress!!!

I'm finding more and more that doctors really can't fix problems; they try to find a way to make life more comfortable, which is great. There are so many issues that are medical mysteries. Quality of life and management of symptoms ends up being the focus. I never used to understand why people turned to "alternative" treatments, but I do now. Regular medicine often doesn't have much in the way of useful answers or treatments. I used to wonder how people got taken by quack doctors or would try potentially dangerous treatments. Well, when nothing has worked, it's better than giving up.

Can't talk long, my internet is out & I'm at my neighbour's.

Turns out the blip on my test was a blip - a false positive. So I got to experience an angiogram for naught. On the plus side, it's one less test for me to experience (& I'm really really making the most out of OHIP ). When the doctor told me my "arteries were clear, absolutely perfect", I teased him that I would grab a cheeseburger with a side of bacon as soon as I left the hospital. He told me I was probably the only one in the room who could do so without a problem. Recovery was the worst part - 4 hours of lying perfectly still is annoying, to say the least. Then 3 days of bedrest was even more annoying, since I felt perfectly fine. I'm still taking it easy, can't get back up to my speed til Monday at the earliest.

I'll post more details once the techs come & fix my internet connection (hopefully tomorrow).


Hope everyone is as pain-free as possible.
