BRAXTON-HICKS MOTHERFUCKER

― teeny (teeny), Saturday, 5 November 2005 03:41 (eighteen years ago) link

my husband, for no good reason, calls braxton-hicks contractions 'elliot spitzer contractions.'

Weird that this thread would come up right now. For the past week I've kind of had a tight, dull pain on the left side of my chest, and I'm starting to get scared. I'm pretty young, which I suppose limits the possibilities, but... I need to see a doctor.

I banged my elbow really hard while rough-housing with son no. 1 about 6 weeks ago. Still hurts. Went to the doctor. He acted clueless. My guess is I'm aggravating it all the time cuz I type a lot so it never gets to heal. The non-electric mower I bought at a yard sale was great for the oil crisis but I think it made the elbow worse. Now my knee hurts which makes me wonder about recurring Lymes (always a concern here at Lyme Central). I'm sure once I wean son no. 2 so I can sleep through the night, I'll feel much better all around.

Thanks for listening. Let's see if I can kill this thread. I dare you not to post.

Maria, you're just not drinking enough.
Chest pain person—Many many things cause chest pains. Panic attacks, muscle strain, acid reflux, etc. But why waste time worrying? Go get it checked to put your mind at ease.

― Beth Parker (Beth Parker), Saturday, 5 November 2005 04:54 (eighteen years ago) link

BETH! See you tomorrow? I don't drink as much as usual, but I'm acutally up tonight doing my best to drink a six=pack. Thus the posting.

two weeks pass...

I've felt on the edge of a cold for a few weeks now. I feel like telling it to put up or shut up.

Have I got a long underlying cold I am intermittently fighting off? Or am I catching lots of weak colds?

You're actually turning into a polar bear.

one month passes...

earache! then toothache! and faceache! i NEVER get earache since i got autitis in the sea on holiday when i was 13 as i have carried out a fastidious (for me) daily ear-cleansing routine ever since, so i thought it was just because i'd had a small cold and my sinuses were still full of snot, and the fact that the earache was shifting from one ear to the other seemed to support this. then yesterday it turned into faceache, then toothache oh noes! the english suggests i get one of those ear candle things and see if that works, but it didn't work so well here -

http://www.freakytrigger.co.uk/proven/2005_09_01_proven_archive.html

- so maybe i should get my head cleaned out! has anyone had this, where they swoosh all your sinuses out? like a car-wash for your brane, it sounds BRILLIANT.

― emsk ( emsk), Thursday, 12 January 2006 12:06 (eighteen years ago) link

I had my sinuses drained once. I was in so much pain, I didn't care what they did. It was a great relief, but involved surgical instruments up the nose.

― Jaq (Jaq), Thursday, 12 January 2006 13:22 (eighteen years ago) link

i don't really mind surgical instruments... i heard it's the most bizarre feeling, and i'm quite up for that idea.

― emsk ( emsk), Thursday, 12 January 2006 13:39 (eighteen years ago) link

symptoms: the usual, only more so

― jbr, Thursday, 12 January 2006 14:53 (eighteen years ago) link

(xpost) Well, they did kind of vacuum stuff out, which felt and especially sounded odd.

My eyes have been tearing up dramatically for 2 days. I was blaming the wind, or these new glasses. But I think it's actually excessive Katamari.

― Jaq (Jaq), Thursday, 12 January 2006 15:50 (eighteen years ago) link

My left eyelid is swollen and something in my eye is hurting for the second day in a row. I just had a look in the mirror and there's something strange actually ON my eyeball!

I'm seeing a doctor in a couple hours.

― sgs (sgs), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 10:28 (eighteen years ago) link

Ow. I'm teething.

― Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 10:47 (eighteen years ago) link

My eyes hurt a lot. Too much screen work.

sinuses AGAIN. right temple, upper nose and some teeth. yesterday my ear's were blocked. can anyone give a more detailed breakdown of sinus syringing procedures?

― barbarian cities (jaybob3005), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 12:56 (eighteen years ago) link

Bleeding nipples, lack of iron, lots of blue spots, sleep deprivation, emotional, rapid weight loss,...

It's called Motherhood. ;-)

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 12:59 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh dear everyone.

is sgs back from the doctor yet? What's the verdict?

― Archel (Archel), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 14:35 (eighteen years ago) link

Try the section of nasal irrigation here:

Bleeding nipples? Blue spots? What in the hell? Having a baby does THAT to you?

― Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 14:51 (eighteen years ago) link

It turns out I have plain old conjunctivitis! The doctor couldn't see the bumps on my eyeball that are still all too visible to me, so hopefully they'll go away benignly. And I won't have to invest in any eyepatches. This all serves me right for attempting to apply eyeliner last weekend.

― sgs (sgs), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 14:58 (eighteen years ago) link

hot and cold flashes... according to my work colleague it's really warm just now but i'm shivering. headache. temperature. coughs. i should go home really

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 15:02 (eighteen years ago) link

Too many late nights playing online poker, ken...
Have some nice sleep.

tummyache

― having fun with stockholm cindy on stage (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 15:23 (eighteen years ago) link

i was hoping that i was offsetting the bad effects of late nights with abs workout. but seemingly not. i got back home from milton keynes last night and was hoping to do some work, and my head just got heavier and heavier and suddenly i was shivering and needed to sleep. it was scary.

also: everything seems to taste more blend than usual.

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 15:27 (eighteen years ago) link

also i can't spell bland

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 15:28 (eighteen years ago) link

I've been having really bad ennui lately.

― pixel farmer (Rock Hardy), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 15:29 (eighteen years ago) link

Bleeding nipples? Blue spots? What in the hell? Having a baby does THAT to you?

Bleeding nipple: breastfeeding duh. :-)
Blue spots? I lost lots of blood during and after my delivery. I think it might have something to do with lack of hemoglobin or something.

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 15:32 (eighteen years ago) link

I sound like Bob Dylan.

sore throat, sore ears, fever. i wanna go hooooooooome.

off work today :( too ill

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 15:47 (eighteen years ago) link

one month passes...

I have Urticaria! That's hives to merkins, I understand. I have no idea why I got it - I'm not allergic to anything as far as I'm aware (well, I'm now aware I'm allergic to something, but it's a mystery something).

HOW DO I STOP THE ITCHING? I have a steroidal cream and antihistamines but they're not working.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 16 March 2006 17:24 (eighteen years ago) link

Calamine lotion might help soothe and cool your itchy bits.

― Penelope_111 (Penelope_111), Thursday, 16 March 2006 17:32 (eighteen years ago) link

Let's all talk about Madchen's bits.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 16 March 2006 17:43 (eighteen years ago) link

They aren't pretty.

Calamine, ugh! I've been avoiding it thus far, but if the itching doesn't go away before this evening I'm going to have to buy myself a bottle of the pink stink.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 16 March 2006 18:28 (eighteen years ago) link

they make it clear now, though i've been told it doesn't work as well.

i can empathize, i developed a mysterious rash on my torso and it has been driving me insane with the itching! went to the doctor, was prescribed cortisone pills which make me totally drowsy and headachey which is actually better than the itchy hell i've been in.

diagnosis: pityriosis rosea

it came from nowhere.

― ai lien (kold_krush), Thursday, 16 March 2006 19:35 (eighteen years ago) link

my case is very mild, but the calamine worked well for awhile. benadryl did nothing but make me sleepy.

― ai lien (kold_krush), Thursday, 16 March 2006 19:39 (eighteen years ago) link

one month passes...

Lower back pain for three or four days.

A little blood in my urine this morning.

― Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 05:41 (eighteen years ago) link

:-( oh man.

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 05:45 (eighteen years ago) link

yikes

― phil-two (phil-two), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 05:46 (eighteen years ago) link

It's maybe just a wee bit of dehydration. I'll have plenty of water today and see what happens.

― Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 05:48 (eighteen years ago) link

Also possibly cystitis - lots of fluids is the way to go.

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 07:54 (eighteen years ago) link

two weeks pass...

Snuffling and sniffling. First cold in over a year :-(

― Mädchen (Madchen), Monday, 15 May 2006 10:48 (eighteen years ago) link

Or rather :-*(
