2 AnswersGarden & Landscape10 years agoHow to approach my husband?
My husband has always been shy and quite but its to the point I can't handle it any more but I am to scared to take any drastic steps.
My husband and I have been together for about 6 years. We started dating when my little girl was only 3 months old. We got married a year and 3 months after we started dating. We got pregnant a month after we got married. Our second daughter was born in December. Then in March he was diagnosed with cancer on my birthday he had the surgery to make him cancer free and he has been cancer free since july 2007. In sept he adopted my oldest daughter. In Feb 2009 my father was diagnosed with lung cancer and he passed away in June 2009. In Aug his father was diagnosed with lung cancer and he passed away in Dec 2010. And we have always struggled with money. That's the low down on what we have went through in a short 6 years.
He grew up in a family that was very reserved with their feelings which was okay when we first started dating and when we got married I want more now. I want my husband to want me, I want him to want to be around with me weather its just us sitting watching tv or doing something romantic. I want him to be more interested in my kids. Its like he wanders around life with blinders on.
Don't get me wrong though he is a amazing providing and he helps tremendously around the house. Its just the way he treats his family. Its like we a thorn in his side.
for example when he comes to bed he will sit on the bed with his back towards me and then slide in to bed without turning around his back always faces me.
Today I was talking to my sister in law and she is in the same boat with her husband (my husbands brother) we are both on the verge of taking the next step, but the boys mom is already devistated with the loss of her husband that this would kill her.
Please give me some advice.

I have been having really rapid heart rates lately. I went to the ER and was give a EKG, urine test, chest and abdomen xrays, and blood work done. Everything came back clear.

I just don't know what to do from now until my test at the end of may

4 AnswersHeart Diseases1 decade agoto be diagnosed with fibromyalgia do you have to feel pain in the tigger points all the time?
I know I have all these symptoms
Commonly associated symptoms of fibromyalgia include:
* Fatigue X
* Irritable bowel syndrome X
* Sleep disorders X
* Chronic headaches X
* Jaw pain X
* Cognitive or memory impairment
* Muscle pain or morning stiffness X
* Painful menstruation X
* Numbness and tingling in the extremities X
* Dizziness or light headedness X
* Skin and chemical sensitivities
And I know for the trigger points it says 11 out of 18 points I have 10.
I am so tired of being in pain and tired today. I asked a friend what type of anti-depressant she was on, just cause I thought it might help with my fatigue, and headaches, and pms.
Then after researching I come across fibromyalgia again not that I haven't thought about it before. I just don't get how I can go to the dr's all this time and no one put these together.

1 AnswerMedicine1 decade agoHow do I get my daughter to eat her meals?
I have a 4 year old who is not neccessarily a picky eater just isn't interested in what I make for supper and it doesn't matter what it is.
She likes her cereal, she like mac and cheese, ichiban, or grilled cheese for lunch but supper I don't know she just doesn't seem to want to eat.
Snacks are a huge deal to her, and for the most part they aren't bad for her health, pickles, cheese, yogurt, pudding and fruit sauce (like apple sauce). She could eat them all day if I let her.
But we are now having problems at bed time.
I for awhile let them eat there snacks in there room. I was told to do this in the course 1-2-3 magic I took. If you give them a drink, a snack, and a potty break they have no reason to come out of bed. However the kids got new bedding and I am not about to let them wreck it so they have snack and the table a half hour later she comes out saying she is still hungry.
I think if she could eat her supper she and her snack she would be satisfied and not come out our room.
Please help
4 AnswersToddler & Preschooler1 decade agoCan I be pregnant and still have bleeding?
My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for a couple years.
My first child I had I spotted but I don't even remember when it was. The spotting was right after intercourse or around the time I was suppose to get my period or when.
My second child the pregnancy was exactly how one should be.
This time I was one day late got my "period". Usually I buy super plus tampons and go through a box of 18 and my period last 7 days. This time I used half a box and only last 4 days.
I took a test the day before I got my period and it came back negative so I am beyond confused when should I take another test.
BTW when I was pregnant with my first I took a test when I normally would have got my period and it came back neg and then the week later and it came back positive. (So I guess my period with my first was earlier then it should have been)
3 AnswersPregnancy1 decade agoIs it a sinus infection or something else?
I have had extreme headaches for well over a month. It first started out with a sore throat and sore ears, accompanied by a feeling of being smacked in the face with a shovel severe pain right under my eyes. Also a pain in my lower jaw right by the joint (note none of my teeth hurt so its not a tooth problem)
I went to the dr and was put on a antibiotic for 10 days, that didn't help so I went back and got another antibiotic for 7 days that one worked for a little while and now same exact pain in the back lower jaw and pain right under my eyes.
So far I have been given 2 rounds of antibiotics and some tylenol 3 and some decongestant. I feel like I am going insane. I need some help what can I do for the pain.

3 AnswersPregnancy1 decade agoWill chemo lengthen or shorten his life span?
My father in law was diagnosed with lung cancer in august 2009. He was given 12-14 months.
Today they said he has about 3 months without chemo and they are not to keen on him doing chemo. So if he does it will it shorten his life span by days, weeks, or months?
I know there is a possibility he will last the 3 months I am just hoping him make this decision isn't going to make for a awful Christmas.
I know that everyone is different I am just looking for ball park numbers here.
I know how hard it is to lose someone to cancer, he was diagnosed 3 days after my dads funeral who also died from lung cancer just wanna prepare ourselves
