Guest guest Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 Hey Miss , Glad to hear that you asked for and are getting some help. Good on ya! Just give yourself time for the meds to work with the postpartum depression thing. My Mom had been a paxil taker for a number of years, and it did her a world of good. :-) I sooooo hear you with the family issues at the baptism celebration. Sigh.....good thing we at least get to pick our friends, right? :-) Seems like much of the group here on the board is an extended family, which I'm sure is a blessing in more ways than one. Someday I'll have to swap horror stories with ya, we had quite the time with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law at my son's wedding last July. LOL I see my internist this Thursday....so I'll know then exactly what is up with my thyroid. Don't know if I mentioned this yet or not, but I had to end up getting the ultrasound test too! Seems there is one lobe of my thyroid that wasn't absorbing or something like that....so they wanted an ultrasound to further evaluate it. Everything else from the RAI uptake came back within the normal ranges.....I made the girl at my doctor's office repeat the whole thing a couple of times so I could write it down. I'll be getting copies of my labs from the doctor as well on Thursday (at least I'll be asking someone for them!), so I'll have lots to share then. Oh joy! Have a wonderful evening and I'll talk to you and the rest of the group later this week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 Hi I'm so glad you have been able to do a few things to get you back on track. Medication should help soon and in the meantime your father and hubby will be helping more. I'm sure it was hard to ask for help but worth it! The baptism weekend sounds like it was very difficult for you. Maybe for a while you need to be kinder to yourself and put off any more family gatherings like that where so much would be expected of you. You'll really notice the difference with the twins starting solids. started at 5 months and she loves her food. I'm now breastfeeding her 3 times a day and she eats like a horse. I feel I have a lot more energy and certainly more freedom. I can't imagine how restricting it must be feeding twins and trying to get your meals right. Must go - I'm actually at work! A friend of mine talked me into doing some casual nursing work - 3 nights per week for a month. I must say it has been really easy work and has been looking after the kids during the day (he is on hols) so I can sleep. The extra money will come in handy - we have just moved house also!!!!
