Guest guest Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 , The only time I had the puffy face and sore throat was in the third week of pregnancy. I had a heterophile agglutination test (to test for mono) with my first baby, and it came out positive. I think it resurfaced during the early parts of pregnancy, because I had my children fairly close together (2 years between the first 2, and my daughter was born 18 months after the second child. I also had a miscarriage right before my daughter and then another one about 16 months after her birth and another one 18 months after that). I always knew I was pregnant because of the puffy cheeks and sore throat. With my last miscarriage, I'd used a home pregnancy test and it was positive. I miscarried 3 weeks later, and the doctor said I was about 5-6 weeks along. That's when I had the D & C from hell...no painkillers before, during, or after, and the nurse helping out told me I was being a baby, that it didn't hurt that much. I was wishing she was laying there in my place so I could make fun of her pain. And after I had the D & C, my (ex) husband accused me of having an abortion. I wanted to claw his eyes out. I had my tubes tied after that, because no form of birth control (the pill, a diaphragm, a condom that broke, foam) worked for me, and he refused to have a vasectomy. I haven't had the puffy cheeks & sore throat since that last pregnancy/miscarriage, which was around 1978. cyn At 12:44 PM 11/1/2004 -0800, Tarvin wrote: , I don't know about mono resurfacing as CFS, however, there are other ailments that can take similiar symptoms as some of those found in mono and some of those ailments might be connected to CFS.

It could be something as simple as allergies, or it could be a reaction to some of your meds or even a thyroid problem. cyn clmerritt@... " Not bad for my first time with a gun.

While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr. Some treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to certain health conditions or just dangerous in general.2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation better.Have a nice day everyone.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 They really are....and I was wishing real pain on that nurse. I'm having a real Snark attack....My DVD player will NOT play the last disc in Season 4 of Buffy, it keeps giving me a disk error. My son already told me he's getting me a new DVD player for Christmas, and he also said he is giving it to me early. So I am issuing an invitation to all my fibro-friends, as soon as I get that new DVD player I am going to stomp it into tiny shards and everyone is invited to come and join in the fun. That smug-looking hunk of plastic and metal will never say " Disk Error: Playback function may not be available on this disk " again! HAH! I just got it to load and play. I had to open & close the dratted thing about 30 times before it worked right. It's a good thing, because my blood is boiling. My BP is probably higher than it's ever been! I can't wait until I can pull that worthless, less-than-a-year-old piece of junk out and toss it....and I'm serious about stomping it! My first one is laying in pieces in the snake room. I've been debating putting it back together - at least that one lasted 3 years before going wonky on me. And the only problem with that one was that it stopped playing when it got too warm. cyn At 07:21 PM 11/6/2004 -0800, you wrote: Ouch D & C's are very painful... yes i think she should of been on the table just for a few so that she knew how it felt.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Have you tried cleaning the dvd. It could have scratches, smudges etc on it that can cause the disk error reading. Basically the laser of the dvd player can't read part of the dvd.
