An Update on me - My test results are all back


loveydad wrote: I'm in a terribly bad mood at the moment so forgive me.

The kidney/bladder xrays came back normal. I'm on half a dose of bactrim every day for three wonderful fun filled months. If the side effects had completly vanished this would be lovely.

My new physcatrist had a full blood panel done on me. I've been asking the clinic here in town for YEARS if my thyroid was bad and they've done test every 6 months and more often to see - never found anything. It's like..VERY VERY high.

My blood sugar was borderline diebetic. Another lovely little factor I DO NOT NEED.

TO kick it all off my I have atypical b-12 deficiency diease. This is something that can have mock bipolar depression symptoms (which I have too). Guess what this means? Lovely little shots in the arm once a week! Not just regular shots eihter, shots into the muscle with a longer needle. Which I also don't have time for.

to make it worst I'm irritable as all get out and tired and anxious even worst because he had me cut my anxiety meds in half because how tired they made me.

On top of it all, I have vistors (unwanted) who I need to help through a tough time in their lives.

Tavia is just cranky as all get out and emotional. She's fighting with me non stop about stupid things. She cried all through the movie I took her out to tonight (POOHS HEPHALUMP MOVIE> COME ON!! IT AIN"T THAT SAD!!) It's hard to watch her have such a difficult time and even worst to be on the recieving end of all her anger and emotionality. She's been crying since we got home cause I snapped at her in the car. And I'm really tired. I tried to calm her down and she yelled at me to go away.

*Rubs his temples* and the kids have all decided to go through incredibly difficult stages and outgrow all their clothes. The twins can no longer fit into most of their 6-9 month clothing which they've been fitting into just fine. V and K need new clothes because they're so rough on theirs. They also need new shoes. Tracy needs new shoes too and although her clothes are fine, she's incredibly clingy and if I get out of her sight she starts screaming for me to come back. She won't sleep either it's 11 and she's still jazzed.

I really love my kids and my wife. They're cute and funny and love me despite my many flaws. Somehow right now I just want someone to hug on me and say "you know what, it's going to be alright. You can take all the time you need to get better and feel better and the kids will be fine." but they won't. They need their father. I'm the one who's been raising them.

Sorry that's my vent. I"ve been really negative lately - trust me I'm hoping to end that soon. Thanks for your support you guys. bawling.gif I'm glad I can now go to bed!

Emeraldsmom replied: I am soo sorry you are having such a hard time in your life right now. I really hope everything gets better soon. I know when I have a lot of problems going on, I try to just look at one problem at a time. And when I fix that problem, move on to the next. It is really hard to do but it works most of the time. If it is possible, I think it is important to try to take time out to be alone. Although for you I don't know if it is possible because of all the little one. Well, I just hope you feel better soon, you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

gr33n3y3z replied: It will get better Vig.
It just takes time and a little understanding from other ppl.
Big Hugz to you

texasp3 replied: Vig... I wouldn't be surprised at all if some (if not most) of your feelings of irritability and negativity stem from changing medications and amounts of medications! That can SO do a number on you!! And so can the blood sugar issues, as I'm sure you know

Not as if you don't have enough to give you bad hair days without the medical issues! The shots sound horrid, by the way. I never had a problem with shots, or anything else medical until after my tough pregnancy with Gabriel. Now if you want to draw my blood or give me a shot, I just wig out. wacko.gif Something about even that small amount of pain is no longer easy to take. I guess I must have maxed out last year. I don't know how people with chronic treatments deal sometimes...

Anyway... grouphug.gif ... I hope the weekend goes well for all of you. Sounds like everyone needs a bit of decompression over there!

~Roo'sMama~ replied: grouphug.gif Aww I'm sorry you've got it so rough right now! You have so much going on of course you're irritable. Is there maybe a different anxiety med you could try instead of cutting the one you have in half? Maybe you could find one that won't affect you so much. Don't worry, you'll get through this!
I can totally relate with Tavia right now btw... if she's anything like me she probably starts crying if you look at her funny. rolleyes.gif Just try telling her you're sorry again today - she'll be fine. wink.gif
Try to get the rest you need... I'm sure it's easier said than done but even if you can't sleep try telling the kids that you need to take it easy today and please be nice to you. tongue.gif wink.gif

cdefmomma replied: A great big ol' hug for you vig. I am sorry you are going through. I am going through a similar situation and I know how you feel. It will get better. You need a weekend away to get some relaxation. I am here for you if you really need to talk one on one. Because like I said I am going through something similar.

A&A'smommy replied: UGH you poor thing!!!! I'm sorry everything is so difficult right now and I Hope things will calm down for you UGH I can't even amagine but I DO now how Tavia feels I was the EXACT same way when I was pg it will get better though in time!

Kirstenmumof3 replied: grouphug.gif Vig, everything will be okay! Just take things one day at a time! Has your psychiatrist offered you any other methods of controlling your anxiety? I used to be on anxiety meds, but learned how to deal with my anxiety without medication. I would be willing to PM you these if you would like. Just let me know. Now take a deep breath, calm yourself down! Tavia is pregnant and her hormones are raging, be patient with her. As for the clothes, can you go to a local thrift store and buy second hand clothes for the twins? I have found a lot of great deals at those kind of stores. Especially baby clothes, that's one thing they don't really wear out of. grouphug.gif We're all here for you, keep venting if that's what you need to do! grouphug.gif

Josie83 replied: I'm sorry that you're having a tough time Vig. Don't apologise for venting, its what we're here for I am so sorry about your bad health. I hope that it starts to get better for you soon. And I'm sure this period in your relationship with Tavia is just because of the pregnanc hormones and your symptoms. Whatever's happening, you have a fantastic family and you are a GREAT father. Everyone knows that, especially your wife and kids. Like you say, tey love you not mater what and so do we! I really hope that things start looking up for you soon. Is there anyway that you could get any help for your kids? feel free to vent anytime - if you need to talk, PM me! xx

moped replied: Swww Vig, things will get better - I am sorry to hear this. And Tavia is pregnant so try to be understanding...............LOL, but we can be cranky!

Hang in there freind.

I too have a very high tyroid problem - IT SUCKS!

loveydad replied: I cannot explain comprehend how much better I feel today. I took my first thyroid pill and it's like magic I swear!! I woke this morning, was able to get almost right up and haven't gone back to sleep or been really quiet. I'm a 100 percent better mood and my anxiety is virtually gone!!

I believe it may pick back up but maybe it really was something very physical that's causing it and just having the right biological center will fix it all.

Thanks for your help. I'm sitll working on my lack of energy mostly because it's kinda dark and it affects my serotin. Maybe it has to do with getting a full nights sleep last ngiht! yayyy for sleep!

I can get the kid's clothes at a used place and I actually have some clothes that Tracy and Nicky outgrew that they can wear out in the closet.

As for Tav, we made up last night and she's seeming to feel a bit better today possibly. she's still cranky but I can manage that. She is carrying our beautiful girl after all wub.gif

Well I'm off to sort out the clothes situation while things are quiet here.

Thanks for all your kind words smile.gif

cdefmomma replied: I'm so glad you feel better today. Sometimes a full nights rest does make you feel a ton better.

loveydad replied: Well as the day gone on i've got a little worst but Istill feel pretty good. I think It may be not having to do much of anything. The real test is monday when I have to go to Nampa to get the first side of my teeth worked on.
