Quarantine
I am beginning to think that all of those years "missing" out on the common cold have caught up with me. It all began just after Thanksgiving when my husband came down with a cold...then my son...then me. We worked through it (with my hard working husband...
Cramping
Yeah, the cramps are back. Supposedly from all that my doctors have said, this is fairly normal...unless it feels like labor cramps. For someone who never got to experience labor or labor cramps, that's a tough one to figure out. I know about the back...

16 Weeks
I'm officially 16 weeks today, and as of my ultrasound last week, the baby has now "caught up" to the measurement. Earlier on, the baby's development was about 4-5 days behind (not surprising as I ovulated late), but as of last Wednesday, I was measuring...
Can Plaquenil Make Me MORE Tired?
A few people have asked me if I've noticed a difference after being on 200mg/day of Plaquenil after 2 weeks. Well, if feeling MORE tired is a difference, yeah. Not sure if it's at all possible for fatigue to be a side effect of the medication, as it was...
Split Lip
I'm still battling this bout of laryngitis...while my son and husband are duking it out for loudest cough and snottiest nose. Can you believe I've counted that we've used 18 boxes of kleenex (the big ones too) since the week before Christmas. There's...

Anyone Thirsty?
As I sit here and type this evening, I'm on my third 16 oz glass of water in the past hour. Can someone tell my why basically overnight I can't seem to drink enough to keep my tongue from sticking to the top of my mouth? I've noticed over the past few...

Aches and Pains
Although I'm technically feeling better (i.e. less sickly), tonight I noticed that not only is the cold I was getting prior to my stint in the bathroom New Years Eve back with a vengeance, I'm completely sore from all of that wretching. I'm so sore that...
Happy...er...New Years
New Years was off to a great start in our house this year. I had developed signs of a sore throat New Year's Eve, and with the morning sickness I've been having, felt rather lousy most of the day. We grazed on leftovers (pizza and some other things) most...
Welcome to the Club
Our medical insurance company must have some pretty keen eyes, as I received a mailing the other week for a mom-to-be program that they're offering. Having worked in health care, I understand that these programs help to manage costs and ensure that patients...
Is My Memory Failing Me? I Can't Remember.
When I was 9 months pregnant and patiently waiting (I was a happy pregnant mom-to-be) for the arrival of my son I started to notice a now too common trend...my memory wasn't what it used to be. You know the saying an elephant never forgets? I'm the elephant...
How I Was Diagnosed
I’ve been active and in great health all of my life – I played sports through high school and college, went to all of my regular check-ups, and by the time I was married didn’t really have any medical issues other than seasonal allergies. I’ve never been...
