Re: 1st DR Check in tomorrow

[Guest guest]

,

I still have difficulty sleeping. I was having a very difficult time with

returning to work so I asked my doc if she would prescribe something to help me

sleep. She first prescribed an antidepressant because I had other symptoms

(such as crying uncontrollably). The antidepressant did not help with the

inability to sleep so I went back and she prescribed 10 days worth of Ambien.

Now that worked! I have been back for another 10 day prescription and they work

great. I am finding though as I get much more active and mentally exhausted from

work and school that I don't need it as frequently.

1st DR Check in tomorrow

I have my 1st DR appt tomorrow morning.I am anxious to see how much

I have lost. I am going to go with my weight that I weighed on the

Monday before surgery at my physical which was 290,because I know I

couldn't have lost 13 lbs in 3 days before surgery when I was still

eating everything I wanted.their scale said 277 which obviously was

wrong.

I thought female issues would be delayed this month due to surgery

but that darn Aunt arrived a few days earlier than she is usually

scheduled.That hurt worse than my surgery pains,UGH!

Another thing is I haven't really slept for the past week or so.I

have been taking my pain med at bedtime to help me relax more but I

still only sleep for an hour or so off & on.I noticed I have been

sleeping with my mouth open alot too because my c-pap dries out my

mouth to the point that I can't even swallow & then I wake for that

too.I never did that before surgery.Guess I will discuss with DR

tomorrow.

Will check in with my great news tomorrow!Finally get rid of

those ??? marks.

I just had my first cycle since surgery and it has been very heavy, long, and

very painful in my lower back. I used to have it for 3-4 days, but it has been

6 already. I don't know if this is normal or not, but if it goes on much longer

I will call my doc.I hope this does not become the norm.

Re: 1st DR Check in tomorrow

I've noticed I've slept more w/ my mouth open as well! I'll wake up w/

a dry, sore throat. Once I get up & have some water it gets better tho!

Good luck at the doctor!

I was on my period during surgery. Talk about a mess when you wake up!

UGH! But, the nurses were great & cleaned me up & helped me get my

undies on.

Oh I'd hope not too! After every pregnancy, mine has changed and with

Marielle, it changed for the worse. It hurts incredibly now. I hope and pray

it doesn't get worse after the surgery.

Thanks for sharing that. I have my next appt in a month so

if it doesn't improve soon maybe I will call them. She suggested for

me to see my sleep apnea DR 1st tho.

No, I don't use a cpap. It must be something w/ the surgery! It's been

that way since I woke up from surgery! And my tongue is so sore!

Almost raw. I'm wondering if I have a touch of thrush. I have a yeast

infection from the antibiotics. :-\
