Yay, I'm not crazy!
I just got back from the doctors office and he had me do all these different balance and strength exercises and stuff. It turns out that all off my problems have been due to migrains. Not the headache type, the nurological type. I didn't know that there were different kinds of migrains. He said that it is caused by my blood clotting in my head and instead of causing a headache or "migrain" it is causing me to have nurological problems, such as vision disturbances, balance problems, numbness, tingling, and he said it could also cause me not to be able to think staight. Solution, I have to take childrens asprin everyday for the rest of my pregnancy to thin my blood a little and prevent clots. I definately feel better after seeing the doctor because now I know what exactly is going on and that I can do something to prevent it at least from getting worse. Now everyone can shove that Pinched nerve idea up their asses. I knew something was wrong and from now on I am not going to let anyone talk me out of my concerns. If I feel that something is wrong I am going to seek it out and get it fixed. No more second guessing. This could have ended up very serious if nothing was done.

holy crap... scary shit man. I'm glad the doctor was able to figure out your problem because that sounds like a pretty tough problem to figure out.. one that a good doctor is able to find right away after a few tests. I didn't know of the two different types of migrains... good to know I guess.
And yeah, if you think there is something wrong with you, always go to the doctor... after your story, I know I will!
this is completely off topic and I thought about this because I'm toying with the idea myself, but you have a house....have you ever thought of doing an at home daycare? Or even an evening daycare? There are never any evening ones anywhere and I bet you'd get business. I know you love kids, just thought I'd mention it.
I have thought about doing daycare but being pregnant again I don't think I could do it right now. I have actually been thinking that I may do that when my kids are in school so thatI have something to keep me busy. Right now I can't imagine wanting to do anything. With the problems I have had lately I don't even want to get out of bed. I was throwing up all night last night and I am beginning to think that I am having a pregnancy from hell. At least it isn't as bad as yours was though.
Well just remember Zofran if throwing up gets really bad. It's a life saver. Only thing that helped me. Yeah, I had a crappy pregnancy but I don't know if any pregnancy is really better or worse, just different parts of it. I think I won the throwing up award and you won the migraine award. :) Hang in there. Hopefully it will get better soon and if it doesn't keep talking to the doctor until it does.
Oh and I never had heart burn so I got lucky there.
Thanks for the Mothers day greeting! I hope you had a good one too! I use to have visual migraines. I seldom got the head ache but I would see kind of a aura of circlar lights. They didn't last long. It was weird but they stoped on their own.
Hope yours do the same.
Happy Mommy's day to you! Thanks for the tip with the vicks... What kind of pouperi (I suck at spelling) do you use? I don't know much about pourperi things.
"I believe" is right, you need to update! Write about this party you are going to have. By the way April and Kevin are moving into their new home this weekend and Dwight and I are going down with the pickup to help. So we won't be comming to your party. Alicia, you will have to call her. I don't know what her work schedule is. You may have to call her. Hope you know her cell number. You can call me to get it if you want. She doesn't have voice mail.
You have a computer.....and a blog....let's put two and two together here. Post! :)
