The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 3

[Eeyorecln]

Good Morning DDA

Just thought I would check in before my day got into full swing. I haven't been feeling well this week but I keep trying to forget about it. I am supposed to have a "girls weekend" starting after work on Friday in Dillard, GA. My husband suggested that I may have to stay at home if I didn't start feeling better. HA!!!! Never!!! I can be sick in a cabin with 5 other girlfriends with a fireplace, jacuzzi and a glass of wine as good as I can here at home. Don't you agree??!!

Anyway......it is just my sinuses but I don't think I can take this pain and pressure much longer. I have started coughing alot the last couple of days so hopefully that means it is breaking up. I just hope it doesn't settle in my chest. These aches and pains are killing me.

Well now that I added sunshine to ya'lls morning I will go for now and check back in with you when I get to work.

Lynn

Hope you feel better in time for your getaway. Have a nice relaxing time.

He seems to be doing a lot better. At least he's eating again. After the birth of my 2nd child I had a hyperthyroid problem-the kind that you loose weight. But mine was just over active enough to make me really really hungry and I gained 30 to 40 pounds in the 8 months before I finally saw the right doctor. By then it had corrected on its own by I didn't loose the weight until after I stopped bfeeding my 3rd baby. SO...now my DH has hypothyroid-the kind where most people gain weight only he was too tired to eat and lost weight. Sometimes life isn't fair!

He does seem so much better at home but he honestly didn't seem that bad at home before it was when we went away that his anexity combinded with the thyroid was just too much for me to handle. He says he wants to try Disney again so I've got to give him a chance. His doctor said he needed his thyroid pills for life but he should be OK after just 6 months of happy pills-which would be right around our Disney trip. I'm hoping she told him that just so he would take them at all.

If he acts they way he did on our last trip, I will make him stay in the room or go off on his own. He will not ruin another trip for me.

Yep, my emotions can get all whacked out when my thyroid gets all screwy. You have to keep monitering it and adjusting the dose to keep it even. I have had my meds adjusted every couple months. They told me it could take years to find a dose that will settle things long term. I just want to feel normal and less tired. Hopefully his is easier to fix and your trip goes better this time.

Hi, all. The appointment went well with the Neurologist today. DH went too. Rees was very anxious/crying during the entire appt which was good so she could see what we were dealing with. Long story short, Rees definitely is having anxiety attacks and has been diagnosed with Anxiety Disorder. She said it was a good thing we came in as he could make himself very sick. He will start a med tomorrow to hopefully help. We follow up in 2 weeks to monitor his progress. The doctor also feels Rees now falls on the Autism spectrum and she tentatively diagnosed him with PDD-NOS. Not what I wanted to hear, but I'd rather face this head on and get him the help he needs. My parents will be here tomorrow by the time we get home from school. I'm really looking forward to seeing them.

Thanks again for the prayers. I am feeling a little better, but am still very emotional and completely wiped out. My mom told me to go have a beer, and who am I to argue with my mom!

& to everyone that needs it.
Good luck to Tink2020 for match day.
Hope Jo's tattoo went well. You are for getting your done. I have always wanted a tattoo but I am too chicken to get one done.
Take care everybody & think happy, Disney thoughts-that always make me when I am having a bad day.

So cheers

Denise-

Sounds funny to say "Glad Rees was having a rough day today"...but at least now you are dealing with some "concrete". Give everyone hugs and have a drink!! (I won't say beer...yuck!! not my drink of choice)

The triplefig family will stay in my prayers!!

Well one of my major complaints of last week was the PTO board members...they only got worse as the week went on but I came to a decision. I would not go behind them and pooper scooper their problems for them. We'll see how well I stick to that tonight as the sock hop is tonight. Nobody called and asked me to help so I am going just as a parent. Such a stressor!!

Denise - At least you now have a diagnosis in hand. I always feel better when there's a name attached to the problem.

I hope that you can take it easy this weekend, and let your mom and dad pamper you. You certainly deserve it!

Denise,
I hope the anxiety meds work quickly. We'll keep praying for your family.

My DH actually suggested DVC but we can't buy sight unseen. I considered staying at SSR through CRO but I don't want to pay the $500/night and just don't feel comfortable renting points. I think we may try to do a tour when we are there. Its good to hear the great reviews on POFQ and Pop. I'm really anxious to try them both out.

Buy it even sight unseen it will be one of the best purchases of your life and something to laugh about, we have bought sight unseen timeshares and even a condo.

Ok.... turns out we aren't leaving for Delaware tomorrow, we're leaving now. Long story, but I'll be gone all weekend. We'll have the internet though, so hopefully I won't get too far behind!

Have a good evening, and I'll see you tomorrow (unless we get in earlier than 1am )

Have a wonderful relaxing weekend.

I'm sure you are happy to know and get Rees the help he needs, hope the meds help and for you all.
Hope you listened to mom and had a beer.

Seems like a little private catch up party I'm having here, worked late today and I'm exhausted!!

 

[Steamboat Marti]

Just stopping in to say hi before Survivor....


So glad you have something to work with Denise. Even though it wasn't what you wanted to hear, at least you can be pro-active about it. And yes, it does sound weird, but I am glad Rees was "off" today so that the doctor could see what you are dealing with.

And you should never argue with your mom!

 

[MidNite]

I love this guy. He looks like one of my smilies that sits on my desk. Do you mind if I use this guy for some personal stuff for myself?

You're welcome to any time you like.

 

[Tammi67]

Denise - I'm glad that you are finally getting some answers and that treatment can begin. Hopefully you will see a change in his personality soon. I hope you have some comfort with your parents being there. Continued hugs and prayers.

DENISE,

Sorry to hear about Rees, but now that the neurologist has seen him & starting him on a new medication you are moving in the right direction. Give yourself a pat on the back for taking him & getting him the help he needs. You are obviously a caring mom & he is lucky to have you. I wish for & your son (& your family)all the best & that this new course of medicine will help him have some relief (& you) from his anxiety attacks. God bless.

All right!! Went through the whole night and no pooper scooping for me!!! I did a few things I would normally do as a parent...but as we were commenting on the way out this is the first time we have not stayed until everybody else had gone in over 3 years!!

I also talked to my girls tonight about the "moody mama". SO all in all a good night!!

Hope everyone else had good nights!!
