Well I've finally got an answer to ONE of my ailments! Who knows, maybe it's somehow connected to everything else, too. I had an abdominal ultrasound and stomach emptying study done last week. This morning I had an endoscopy done (felt like the best nap EVER!). Turns out I have some sort of virus that is keeping my stomach from emptying. I guess it won't break down the fat I eat so if I eat too much fat I get full and then have pain and discomfort. So now I'm on a restricted fat diet until it hopefully passes. Sounds like a good diet except that I'm now 10 pounds underweight and really need to gain some back. Oh well, I guess I'll just enjoy it while I can. I'm sure as soon as everything is back in working order I'll put them all back on, plus more!!!
Hmmm...what is the official name of "Having two kids back to back took a toll on your body" virus?!?!
************************************************** ********"Having two kids in 16 months takes a huge toll on your body."
Okay, okay, I get it!!!! Sheesh, if I have one more doctor (and I've seen a bunch of them!) tell me that having back to back pregnancies is the reason I'm all out of whack, I'm going to scream! Just figure out what's wrong with me and how to fix it! Stop throwing prescriptions at me to see if they work. I don't think having two kids in such a short time is a disease or diagnosis!
I feel like I need to start wearing a sign that says, "Yes, my kids are 16 months apart. That's why I feel/look/act the way I do. Just ignore me and it will get better."
Grrrr.....
