Mommy of a girl and 2 boys! :)

I was diagnosed ADHD about 4 years ago. I told my dr. we were trying to have kids so when he prescribed me adderal back then I refused because I was trying to conceive. Last week I went back and told him since I was now done with having children I would like to see if that was still an option. After being re-evaluated he disgnosed ADHD again but because nopw I struggle with higher than normal blood pressure he said he wants to start me off with a SUPER low dose for a month and then he will raise t if my BP is ok. 10 mg once a day. That's it. The first few days were ok...a little more focus but nothing like the "WOW" I was hoping for. Now I am on day 8 and I am simply......tired. I remembered to grab the hotdog buns WITHOUT my list the other day which is a new thing for me (LOL) but I am sleepy. Could I have been misdiagnosed TWICE? I wasn't expecting to want to take a nap in the middle of my day. I am usually on the GO GO GO GO and this is completely unpleasant for me. I have heard this happens to some but have never heard WHY? Anyone else?? THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Okay, I only ask opinions because everyone tells me I overreact over EVERYTHING. My daughter is seeing her pediatrician tomorrow, but I am wondering if I should take her to the ER tonight. Yesterday she started complaining of a headache and that her eyes hurt. (She has never really had a headache before) She then started throwing up. (She has only thrown up a few times since yesterday) What is making me nervous is that she says her neck hurts when she puts her chin to her chest (yes I do the side to side and up and down test for meningitis) She also got dizzy a few times today and couldn't say the word "thermometer" (which she can say). Her headache is pretty much gone but her other symptoms are still very much there. She has been sleeping ALL day long, which is unlike her, sick or well. As her mom, I am worried because she just doesn't get sick...So I don't know if I am overreacting because this is the sickest she has ever been, or if something more serious is going on......any experiences? Please advise would be great.........................

Okay I am SO new to this whole couponing thing. I am soooo confused because on some couponing websites it says to get multiple Sunday papers so you get more than one of a good coupon to use. But on the coupon it says only one per purchse. I don't know what I am doing!! LOL! Harmon's has their powerade on sale 10/$5. (great deal in itself since I buy those A LOT!) I also have a crap load of original manufacturer coupons that are $1 off 3 powerade bottles. My question is, can I use 3 of them. So technically $3 off 9 powerade bottles in ADDITION to the in store deal of 10/$5? Or can I only use one in this transaction? Does this make sense? I would appreciate any help tips and advise! THANKS IN ADVANCE! :)

I did my taxes on turbotax and on THAT site it says my refunded will be direct deposited on the 28th (which I knew wouldn't really happen. So I checked the IRS site and for days it said it would be deposited into my account on the first. (I knew that was wrong because they only do deposits on Fridays.) So today I checked it and it said my refund is scheduled to be mailed to me on Feb. 4th.. WTH? It it really going to be mailed? Or will it still be direct deposited into my account? THANKS!

Let me start off by saying I was diagnosed with "fibromyalgia" almost 3 years ago, but it seems that over the last week things have been acting up.

For example, the other day out of the blue, my feet felt like red hot pokers were stabbing my feet. It only lasted a minute or so, but it felt like forever. I have been so dizzy and lightheaded and have just felt "off" and SO tired. Another strange thing is that despite the fact my stomach looks swollen (I just thought I was gaining weight) I have actually dropped 4 lbs since Tuesday night (so not even 2 days). My diet is the same, so I am not sure what is going on. I have a dr. appt. next week but I thought I would see if anyone has experienced this. Anyways, THANKS IN ADVANCE :)

Okay.....I have ALWAYS had the most intense sex drive. I was the one in my marriage that was always BEGGING for it! LOL! :) And if I couldn't get it from him I would just take care of it myself. This was an every day thing. A bit more than a month ago however...things are completely different. My sex drive, my want and desire for it, is COMPLETELY gone! It was just so sudden and complete. I haven't even WANTED to "help myself". I am not taking any medication at all, nothing has really changed in any way. I do have small children, but I have had small children for the last 7 years, so that is nothing new to me either. I have tried talking to my hubby about it, and even he thinks it is odd for me. Does anyone have any ideas what may have happened? Personal experiences? I am at a loss here! I do have a dr.'s appt. next week but thought I would give this a try! :) THANKS IN ADVANCE! :)

Ok, I have 2 appts. with two gynos next week but thought I would see if anyone had first hand experience. I have always had short cycles (about 21-26 days) with heavy bleeding and SEVERE cramps. I gave birth to my 3rd and last baby 6 months ago and since my periods restarted (about 8 weeks after he was born) my periods have been coming every 16-18 days apart. My periods last between 5-8 days, so you can imagine how frustrating it is to feel I am on a never ending period! :( Before my so,n I ALWAYS knew when my period was coming because I would cramp so bad days before. NOW, I don't get cramps until about the last day or so and it is SOOOOO bad I can barely go to the bathroom without wanting to pass out..(sorry TMI) I know I am done having children but because you still get your period with a tubal, that is not an option for me. I will be talking to the dr.s about an endometrial ablation or a partial hysterectomy. Have any of you had these procedures, and have you had them this young? What are your thoughts on the subject?

Well, I am getting a late start as far as career because I wanted a family first. Well now I want to go back to school part time and gradually work up to being an ultrasound tech. to help provide a better life for my family AND do something I really want to do! I just need some guidance. If you are US Tech., what were the steps you took to get there? I live in Utah and can't seem to find any accredited schools in my area. I ONLY have my high school dimploma and GED so I am pretty much starting at the very beginning. Where do I start? THANKS FOR ANY ADVISE!! :)

I am 38 weeks with my 3rd baby and this is the first time I am not sure if I should go to L&D or wait. With my first I went in because I was in SO much pain, with my second I had a placental abruption and was bleeding VERY bad...so I went in. Well I am having contractions 5-7 minutes apart but they are not unbearable. UNCOMFORTABLE but okay. I have a Dr. appt. in 4.5 hours and I don't know if I should just wait or not....what would you do? THANKS LADIES!!! :)

As of midnight this morning I am 37 weeks 6 days with my 3rd baby. I never experienced false labor with my other children but I think I am now and I am in alot of pain. I have been having bad diarrhea (TMI SORRY) all day and have been so sick to my stomach. I have thrown up several times as well. I started having contractions about 7:30 PM. They are VERY irregular coming every 5-25 minutes and lasting anywhere from 20 seconds to a minute. I have tried laying down, walking, a warm bath, drinking lots of water...but nothing is changing! They won't regulate or GO AWAY! :( It is now 2 AM and I am simply EXHAUSTED!! What do I do!!?? I never had this happen before and I can say I am at a loss! THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Okay so my sister in law bought a linksys wireless USB adaptor MDL - WUSB600N. She pretty much lost everything that it came with EXCEPT for the USB adaptor. I tried googling the driver to download but I am just confused!!! How do I get this to work!?!?! THANKS IN ADVANCE! :)

HI LADIES!! I am 37 weeks 1 day with my 3rd baby. You would think I would be a pro by now, but I AM NOT!!! LOL!!! As of yesterday at my Dr. appt. I was 2.5 CM dilated but 0 % effaced (which is normal for...I never seem to efface until well into labor) ANYWAYS, my Dr. stripped my membranes yesterday also. I have had a few contractions here and there but nothing to get excited about. However the last couple days I have noticed "chunks" of thick stringy yellow snot (looks like when you are really sick and blew your nose EW TMI SORRY!!!! LOL!) I remember losing pieces with my last baby a few days before I lost the "big bloody blob", but I can't remember how I knew it was pieces of it. It definitely seems different than just dishcarge but who knows? LOL! Anyways, do you think I should chalk it up to increased dscharge or do you think it could be pieces of my plug? THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!!! :)

P.S. I had my 2nd baby at 37 weeks 6 days...2 days after membrane sweep.......

Okay so this is my 3rd baby. With my first I went into labor at 40 weeks 5 days and had her 2 days later. With my son I went into labor at 37 weeks 6 days. I am 37 weeks right now and am just starting to get curious (OF COURSE! LOL! ) Well as og last Monday (36 weeks) I was 1 CM and 0% effaced. My dr. told my DH (because he is training to be a nurse) that he could check me during the week if he wanted and explained everything. Well Shawn checked me last night and I was 2CM dilated. We went on a LONG walk today and when we got home checked me again and said he could have EASILY put 3 fingers in my cervix!!! I have a dr. appt. tomorrow morning so we will see if he was accurate. He said I felt "softer" tonight also. I know it's all a guessing game, but it's fun to guess and think about when the big day will be. It could be tomorrow or 3 weeks from now, but anyways just wondering what you think!

p.s. I am als having stronger BH contractions and pressure, I have been throwing up all day also.

Well like i said I am 36.5 weeks tomorrow and for WEEKS now I have bene so itchy. I chalked it up to my stratching skin and the fact that I live in Utah...(The weather is cold then warm then cold then warm and can cause really bad dry skin) but over the last week it has gotten unbearable. IT ITCHES EVERYWHERE!!! I have scratch marks all over my body because of how much I itch. I have changed laundry soap, used benadryl, tried every lotion, cream and moisterizer I could think of and I am at a loss! I have a Dr. APPT. at 2pm tomorrow but in the meantime I am losing sleep and need suggestions! WHAT IS THIS AND HOW DO I GET IT TO STOP!! THANK YOU! :)
