The steroid junkies' perfectly unscientific medical trial

[petitpas]

It's ok, Fili, I can ignore it

Hope, what on earth is that mix?

Haha, this thread is hilarious at the minute. It's like an episode of Come Dine With Me. I had baked Camembert on Sunday, a whole one!!!
Been good all day but just eaten a king size twix :/
I'd rather have the hunger than the agitation and mania, I'm gonna speak to my psych if it's no better by end of week. He did say he would keep an eye on me and look into safe meds to counteract any manic episodes if they get too bad.
I can't cope with this level of craziness.
Please let it be a BFP this month to make it almost bearable.

Off to lay in bed and count sheep x

 

[petitpas]

Oh Lee, the craziness is not nice
I hope you feel calmer and happier soon

Hello ladies, I have a question for those diagnosed with active NK cells.
Do you get sick easily?
I am not diagnosed but I barely get sick (cold or flu). I was happy with it until recently then I started thinking maybe having a too strong immune system is not good for TTC. Even on streoids, I got some cold virus but I felt bad only for two days then I recovered. Normally, I don't recover for 10 days at least. Sounds paranoid but I wanted to share.

Hi leylak, no the last time i was sick was when i went to st lucia last year and caught something off the plane! not been sick all year!

 

[filipenko32]

lee that can't be nice, thinking of you x x x

 

[petitpas]

Leylak, I used to get everything going but the past couple of years, nothing!
I have had a cold that I am just getting over. It took two weeks. I didn't feel too bad, though. Just a funny nose and a cough. No fever or flu-ey nastiness.

Hope, that looks interesting. I think our shredded wheat is similar to your cereal although we may not have all the flavours such as rice...

Lee, the ms is still here but getting better. Also, (touch wood) I haven't had any heartburn for the past couple of days. Despite the lemon drizzle on my sandwich yesterday and despite eating a curry for dinner!

 

[hopeful23456]

do they have chex cereal in the UK?

 

[filipenko32]

No Chex mix in the uk I just checked Tesco's online and googled to buy it online and have to get it imported if I want some!! Is there a UK equivalent?

Can't. stop. eating. peanut butter. with nuttella choc spread. on toast Mmmmmmmmm

Ohhhh curry, pip. What kind of curry did you have?

 

[lexi374]

Leylak i work in a nursery and im never off sick, the only time ive had off has been for mc, and i am exposed to a lot of germs!! x

 

[petitpas]

Hope, no we don't have it.
Fili, it looks a bit like shredded wheat, don't you think? You know, the ones the grannies knit for us

 

[filipenko32]

oh lexi, that's not the best place for miscarriage sufferers like us to work how do you cope?

 

[filipenko32]

yeah grannie knitted shredded wheat would do the trick I think!

 

[lexi374]

oh lexi, that's not the best place for miscarriage sufferers like us to work how do you cope?

umm yeah it is the worst!

I duno really just have to get on with it i suppose, only a small amount of people know at work. I think going back after the first 1 was the hardest, had only been back in about half an hour when some1 i work with announced she was pregnant no idea how far, hadnt been trying etc blah blah blah, then over the course of the next few weeks several parents said they were pregnant too, they were all due within a mth of my due date and they all had their babies except me

There is always someone pregnant at our place....

 

[petitpas]

Aw, Lexi

 

[filipenko32]

As pip said lex, really feel for you

 

[hopeful23456]

So why can't they make grape, orange or strawberry flavored steroids? The aftertaste is SO disgusting, lol

Lex- I feel for you too! Many of the girls that work at my re office have had IF or rpl, the girl that draws my blood had 4 mc around 20 wks as she has an incomplete cervix that didn't even hold after stitching. My clinic is also a regular ob/gyn clinic (1/2 of it specializes in rpl) and I asked that girl his she can still work there as I cried at almost every appt. she said she almost quit before but stayed on. Shes going to a specialist again too to try and find a way to keep the pregnancies going.
I would cry every day working at a nursery.

I got some 25mg packs from the pharmacy today as I couldn't face any more 8 pills at a time! I had to beg my gp for them this morning as he had no idea why I was taking steroids in pregnancy! They are bitter aren't they?
