Today the pain got worse so went back to a different dr....who now says its severe gastro bug and not gall stones....FFS....do dr's get their degrees from cereal boxes???

$60 later with medication in hand....still not working one little bit. Going to bed. night ladies

aw Kim its so frustrating. In December I went to 3 GP's with my blood test results & got 3 answers.... 1st was that it was iron deficiency, the 2nd was that it was depression that wasn't managed with the meds 3rd was that I needed to exercise more.

Finally last week I got into the specialist who says that everything indicates an adrenal disorder. Whoa... no one can agree.

Kinda scarey though, isnt it? at least we can say if something isnt working for us, but our kids can't!! thats it..i'm getting a medical degree of my own!!

very scary, like the different opinions ive had in relation to my fanny soreness!! seen 4 different people and almost 4 different opinions!!! cant win

kim hope you feel better, make sure you get the u/s though.

OMG call me stupid, call me dumb call me what you want.... i decided to go bacck through all our buddy threads and cut and paste mu posts ( the relevent ones) into word so i can look back and remember the things already forgottne!!! great idea, but up to thread 15 i think and 15 pages later, very time consumming but will be worth it.
it funny to look back at all the super long posts, like when we had time to sit and post!!! there are mostly only 8 pages now days thers around 10 cos we all talk in a few lines!!

Jols - i was just thinking that today myself, about the short succint posts.... and every now and then a big long one.

doctors! dont get me started - i'm soooo over the monthly pain I experience. this month is horrendous. I have spent most of the day in bed, and are about to get back in there again! not that anyone knows what is wrong with me... maybe its all in my head???!!!!

forgive my foggy memory Vicky, but isn't it you who has Endometriosis (sp??) - weren't you going into hospy for an op about that not so long ago? Am i right to guess that if you are still in so much monthly pain, that said op did not work? how frustrating, every person i've ever met with Endo seems to go thru it endlessly.

i wanted to clarify about the controlled crying thingo, something i realised today, that i had meant but not spelt out. The women in my mum's group were talking about putting a baby down in their cot, leaving the room regardless of if baby was settled or not and not coming back into the room for three or 12 hours. This is what upset me so much. So if baby screamed for x hours, so be it. If baby vomitted from crying for hours, they would be left in it.

i realise from speaking to my SIL on the phone tonight, some people do CC graduated, for minutes. On a chair, starting out with patting baby (no eye contact)- working up to being able to move chair further and further, until they'er out the door. But what i heard about on Friday, must be an extreme example.

Like in everything, there are extremes.

KIMBAZ - severe gastro, wow, that's got to be wearing you out, gastro is so debillitating. Are you able to keep any food down hon?

So many festivals on here this month, (Festival of the Arts, Fringe Festival, WOMAD, Garden of Unearthly Delights), so going to take bilby to the free Fringe Family Day tomorrow so she can bop to some live music and circus performers, puppets etc. I just burst with pride seeing her do her funny dancing, puts her head on one shoulder and flutters those bilby eyelashes. i could gobble her all up for dessert, what a cutie.

i'm managing to keep bf-ing her thru the mastitis (to keep up the milk supply) courtesy of the antibiotics, i think they're working. I want to wean her when we're ready, not because of mastitis. bilby doesn't like drinking from a bottle at all, got NO clue what i'd do if suddenly bf-ing wasn't an option for us overnight.

GIGI we have and do if needed CC but we would never leave her more that 7 minutes, we do 3, 5,7 rearly did we get to 7 and we dont even need it anymore (well not at the moment anyway!!) but yes hours is just rediculious, actually thats cruel!!

just changed over sophies canvasses in her room to more girly prints, looks great, will post pic later!!
