Moms coping w/illness weekly check thread

Hmm, no one else checked in yet? Has a week passed already?

I'm having terrible insomnia, I guess we both can't sleep! How yucky. DD had to have a CT scan today and we haven't gotten the results yet, and the anxiety is really bringing on my insomnia, which makes my physical state worse, which causes more insomnia: a vicious cycle. My dizziness is so strong tonight, ugh. Sorry to whine!

Anyway, we're also getting ready to move, probably by this weekend, to DP's family's house in another state. We're SO not packed yet. Ha ha. I guess it'll get done somehow. I'm feeling like I can't devote my energies to packing/organizing until we know DD's o.k. (the scan was to rule out hydrocephalus)....

Our car's also broken down at the moment, so we're charging a rental car that we can't afford anytime in the near future. I hope I start feeling better soon so DP can work and we can actually maybe have a livable income. So much stress.

HUGS and more HUGS
living with ils is never easy
I hope you get the CT results soon
I got the results of my pft test and get this I had a swallow study on May 10 and I got the results YESTERDAY after the pft tests
I am going to challenge both diagnosis because I don't think I have either one especially since I don't have symptoms of either one!
I also cancelled the colonscopy that dr has to go LOL

I can relate about the finances when we first married and for a long time after we were pretty broke folks

Almost missed the thread, shouldn't someone let the old thread know... Should we lock that one and send folks this way?

do we just ask a mod to lock the old one??

what a way to start off your new life
will she get to use a wheelchair I wonder??

I see you are still sleep deprived
HUGSS

where are the other munchkins?

Hey, CL, thanks for the hugs!
I'm not sure I know what a PFT test is. Did you get the results from that one yet? I HATE waiting for results... OH, by the way, turns out dd is totally fine, just has an unusually large head for her age. YAY!!!! We were so relieved when we found out.

Dyan, have fun at this wedding. Poor bride, hope she's not in too much pain and has a sense of humor about being a bit of a "crip" in her wedding pictures!

Packing/cleaning is going very slow. It's funny how sometimes lots of stress really exacerbates my symptoms, and sometimes stress gives me lots of adrenaline to get through things I didn't think I'd have the energy for. Does anyone else experience this? Sometimes I can sort of ride above my symtoms and not feel really sh--ty til the event or stressful period is over and I'm relaxing a bit, then it hits really bad. Weird.
