Good for you, mote.of.soul!

Things have been frustrating and I've felt the same as normal but I'm doing better now. I accidentally spilled an entire bottle of water this afternoon that leaked all the way through the mattress pad and onto some of my pillows and a blanket. I think I got it fixed though. Those Walmart bottles are so flimsy I've spilled a few of them.

I've been coping pretty good today.

Coping by trying to stay grounded. I’ll try to do a CoDA meeting. I will try to do something good for myself today. The stress of bad relationship with husband and mother struggle over her health and demanding money from us is looming. Lots to cope with.

By reading very immature but funny comments on Facebook about a video with the lady who has the worlds longest finger nails. The comments gave me a good laugh. I mean, wouldn't you wonder too about certain things?

I think being able to laugh during hard times is good for us.

I’m trying to keep from taking my niece boyfriend comment not so personally.

I'm doing fine mental health wise. I ran out of zofran a couple days ago and I can't get it refilled until the 17th. I also ran out of my stomach med and my gastro doctor won't refill it. I'm guessing its because I wen't through a 3 month supply and am still having symptoms so he wants to see me again. I'm worried he'll want to do an endoscopy so I'm trying just to go without it. I am using OTC pepto bismol capsules and mint pepcid right now until I can get my zofran refilled and they both somewhat work.

This day I have coped by reading articles within here, & from the internet.

Mountaindewed · Feb 08, 2023 at 03:39 PM

I did my best today. I don't really feel good right now. I called in my zofran and of course it was denied. I'm willing to tell on myself that I took extras just so my doctor will refill it early. Now I'm also out of pepto bismol capsules. I'll see if I have any regular pepto bismol. But yeah I really just need the zofran.

MuseumGhost · Feb 08, 2023 at 03:47 PM

So, Mountaindewed, there's nothing over-the-counter that will do the same a Zofran? I just read on Drugs.com that it's not a good idea to take more than the doc suggests.

I'm a little worried about you, and hoping this all gets straightened out for you.

-----------------------------
I'm personally doing better than yesterday.

I have to try and remember, when husband goes into auto-mode, and does dumb things, it's often because he's feeling stressed, or is anticipating a lot of stress. We talked about it last night and he apologized right away, and explained where his head has been at, and how the week looks to be shaping up for him.

But I got out yesterday, made myself go and get a bunch of errands and shopping done.

So, all in all, it wasn't the disaster I was dreading.

Mountain we all hope you feel better soon, your wonderful

There is Dramamine ginger chews. They do actually work pretty well for both nausea and nausea related anxiety. I asked my mom if she would go pick me up a bag from Walgreens along with some more pepto bismol capsules.

Deilla · Feb 08, 2023 at 05:31 PM

I coped by taking a long nap at lunch.

My legs feel so weak and I am exhausted, I can barely keep my eyes open. I slept fine last night. I ate today but I'm really nauseated right now from lunch. Luckily my pharamacy is filling my zofran early so I should have it in a couple hours.

I'm wondering though when something is starting to become a bigger issue then I can deal with on my own and when I should see a doctor. I keep thinking this will pass but it doesnt. I know theres the vitamin D going on but does it make you feel this badly?

Buffy01 · Feb 09, 2023 at 10:05 PM

Been in tears all day got into a physical with my niece

I think if you’re very deficient in bit D it can make you feel bad, but if you’ve got other conditions and medication it’s usually best to check with a Dr. Did they give you any indication how long supplements will take to work?

I felt irked to get a text from work asking me to come in during my holidays, I texted back no, it isn’t my fault if they are unable to manage staffing and I’ve stepped in enough times, I’m taking my full holiday. Had a little battle with myself over this though - I don’t like saying no and they know it.

I’m doing better at saying no!
