IT TEARS HOLES IN YOUR STOMACH!? WTF!? Why do drs. prescribe this hand shaking stomach ruining bullshit!? Do you need a prescription for ibuprofrin? Do they make that? Cause over the counter ain't doing shit.
You know, my mom and my cousin's wife told me the same thing about the epidural, actually. But they all got it when they were pregnant too so I think like you guys all were just distracted by labor and baby makings so without that, I'm worried to all hell. They gave me craaaazy high xanax so I'll be loopy but like that's not gonna distract me from the pain OR make it not painful. So I'm fucking scared as all hell. Plus, my back already hurts so I reeeeeeeeeeally am apprehensive about getting shit stuck in and taken out on TOP of it hurting.
I dunno why they need to do it! The new dr. thinks maybe it'll show if the lyme symptoms are still active up in there but my mom thinks maybe it'll show if its something else. I'm so worried they'll just do this bullshit and not find anything so I'll go through all this awfulness for NOTHING. My moms like, "But you'll then be able to rule out the lyme!" Big. fucking. deal. Then no one will know what to do with me and I'll have nothing else to do again. I don't think they think they're wrong about the lyme but the dr. said insurance companies are really reluctant to cover going on IV again so if I get the spinal tap and it shows that its definitely that then they'll be more inclined to ok it. I hate dealing with fucking insurance companies. I'm STILL getting hassled by COBRA and those bastards kept insisting they didn't need to cover me the entire time. And this, I can't get it done at the hospital because "they don't cover that lab". So the dr. has to call the hospital to find this out who has to call the insurance to ok it who has to call me to tell me this who has to then call the central lab place to find a place near me who then has to call me back to tell me to call the place near me to schedule an appointment. This is just so goddamn ridiculous, like medicaid got shit fucking done. There was no goddamn middle men, no fucking hoops to jump through. Just, "You need this done. How's Wednesday for you?" Who else is way unhealthy!? I want to have a broken in the mid-twenties party where we all sit around bitching. Cause right now its just a party of one. And that's just sad.
They can give you a script for 600mgs of Ibuprofen. That's what my mom used to replace the Naproxen. There is a woman I work with who ended up in the hospital having multiple corrective surgeries because the Naproxen tore holes in her stomach. And she only took THREE pills. Three. It's not even like she was on it for months and months... THREE PILLS. Now, that's rare and there was probably some other circumstance involved, but still. Even Ibuprofen can cause stomach ulcers, but at least it's not as bad/fast as the Naproxen.
I always thought that spinal taps were reserved for things like Meningitis or serious illness without a known cause. I don't know enough about Lyme's to know why they would need a spinal tap. And you're right, knowing that you're going to get a baby out of the whole ordeal definitely makes it easier. Because you HAVE to do it. It's either get the needle or feel ten times as much pain. So you just suck it up. And the adrenalin! SO much adrenalin. I got the epidural in the operating room about two minutes after they told me I needed an emergency c-section. I'm pretty sure they could have cut me open with NO drugs at that point and I wouldn't have cared. I just wanted Brandon.
The insurance thing is ridiculous though. I can't stand it. I had to call my insurance to get a preapproval, then the doctor's needed one in writing, then I went for my procedure, then the insurance sent me a letter that they decided not to cover it. What the fuck? Seriously? So after two preapprovals and my undergoing a $1200 procedure, NOW you don't want to cover it? I had to call and yell before they finally agreed to cover the procedure they'd already told me they would cover. Stupid, stupid system. Yet my grandmother, who is on Medicare, can see nine thousand specialists every week and have whatever she wants/needs done and nobody says anything about it. And TJ's babymomma, who is on Medicaid, got more prenatal visits than I did and I PAID for mine. It's really ridiculous. I mean, you take someone like Katie (the babymomma) and she has already abused public assistance, yet there's no question when she needs something done. Me, I pay a zillion dollars for insurance and I have to jump through hoops to get birth control. Which is cheaper than having a baby. Not to mention, I picked the LEAST expensive and MOST effective method available.
You're a gimp. Angela's a gimp. Lauren's a gimp. I've got about five other twenty-somethings on Facebook constantly complaining about fibromyalgia and arthritis. It's insane. I didn't think this shit was supposed to happen until we hit 50.
Really? I didn't know that. My neurologist was just like, "Hands shaking!? Just take ibuprofrin then." That's insane about the Naproxen though! I just took one of those bastard pills. Ha, lyme can cause meningitis too. Lyme seemingly causes every weirdass awful illness in the world. I asked Lauren and she said she hadda get one too to find out if the lymes definitely still there. I'm still so goddamn scared though.
How'd TJ's maybebabymomma abuse public assistance?!
I know, I feel so old! When I told the dr. all the shit that was going on, she was like, "You're 24! These symptoms aren't supposed to be happening in someone your age!"
Crazy. It's just crazy. And, really, how did both of you end up with such serious Lyme's? It's bizarre.
And no one knows exactly what babymomma did because she's a sneaky little liar. But she won't apply for anything because she'll get denied for something she did when she had her daughter. She did something BAD. Something really bad. She doesn't have her daughter anymore and there has to be a reason. And it's a SERIOUS reason because she won't even TRY to get visitation with her.
