Guest guest Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 I have missed you too! My " other " health problems seems to be fairly- well under control right now...KNOCK ON WOOD! My arrhythmia is finally under control with this new drug I am taking. It's a calcium channel blocker called Verapamil. Bad news is that it is a Category " C " drug for pregnancy meaning that it is almost entirely untested during pregnancy. So, I will have to stop taking it at least throughout my first trimester if we are lucky enough to conceive and carry. So, we'll have to see how that goes. I did find one study that tracked women on Verapamil during their second and third trimesters and there was no increase in birth defects....so, maybe if my arrhythmia starts to get out of control again I can go " back " onto the drugs after finishing my first trimester....we'll see if that even becomes an issue. I have to make it past week 8 for a change first!! Gossip from the new job? Well, let's see. The Deputy General Counsel is quite a gossip and tells me that the daughter of one of our employees ended-up spending the night at our CEO's house after she got too drunk at last year's Christmas party....because she was sleeping with the CEO's SON!!! Oh my!!! Sounds like they have much more exciting Holiday parties here than my last place of employment!! I'll keep you updated when I get anymore funny stories.... Hope all is well with you!!

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2002 Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 Thanks so much for the well-wishes....more gossip from the new workplace, the current Accounting Manager had an affair with his older married female boss who was forced to leave the company. She divorced her husband, took her 2 kids with her, married the current accounting manager and they just had their first child this week! Going to be a hum-dinger of a Christmas party I bet 'cha! Hope all is well with you! Gwen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 24, 2002 Report Share Posted October 24, 2002 , Many thanks for your calls and emails. I am suing but also reporting the doctor to the GMC, I bet I am not the only one that this person has done this to. Give us a ring in a week or two and we'll sort something out.
