I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
I wonder if anyone on the forum was able to turn their life around, while the LO is alive. I don’t mean, just making it a bit more bearable for oneself by taking some of the load off one’s shoulders. I mean, really turning their life around.
If not, please be the first.
Thank you again for your get well wishes.❣❣
Thank you. I, too, hope for headache/migraine relief. 💗💗
“As I said, that doctor screamed and threw paperwork at me.”
:(
But the other man gave you Flonase. Hopefully it works. He must have said what diagnosis he’s giving it for. He can’t just give medicine without saying what the diagnosis is. I guess sinus?
I wrote “I hope the doctor figures out the cause/treatment.”
I just mean whatever doctor you might need to see. Maybe the Flonase man figured it out.
I hope your migraines stop soon!!

I have a friend who can’t drink wine or eat chocolate because it will trigger a migraine. She hasn’t had wine or chocolate in years. She says that it not worth getting a headache over.
ITRR,
My word! Scrape your eyeball? That’s insane.
Yes in re the symptoms of allergy.
I am a migraine headache sufferer.
The doctor figured something out? Yeah, right! Not.
If I ate raspberries as a much younger individual instead of a seventy six year old, it's possible that it was not an issue IF indeed the tannin count did not precipitate a migraine.
As I said, that doctor screamed and threw paperwork at me.
you will stumble upon someone who will start a fire in you that cannot die.
However, the saddest, most awful truth you will ever come to find--
is they are not always with whom we spend our lives."
I hope you feel better soon. Hugs and prayers sent your way.
I had a "drunk as a sailor on leave" doctor when I went to an urgent care eye specialist. She wanted to scrape my eye to get the piece of wood out. YIKES!!! NOT!!! I am hesitant to use them now.
I feel for you. I found out from trial and error, when I started getting massive headaches, that I can eat avocados occasionally and no more then half of one, or I get a blasting headache. So, it does happen and is such a pita.
Who would have thought you can eat something occasionally and in minimal quantities, be totally fine and turn around to have such a terrible reaction when it is introduced on a larger scale.
May The Lord touch you and show you something equally as good for the gut.
Typical symptoms of allergy are itchiness, and/or rash, etc…
Headaches can have hundreds of causes. I hope you get well soon! I hope the doctor figures out the cause/treatment. Hopefully the Flonase medicine solves it.
“But I only recently starting eating raspberries as a gut help. Thank you, though.”
I understand. But it can’t be the first time in your life you eat raspberries. For sure you tried as a child, and also as an adult. And no headaches happened.
I really don’t think they caused your headaches.
Sinus headaches are common and well-known. I think that’s much more likely.
Hope the medicine they gave you helps a lot!!
(((Hug)))
What does the doctor think is the cause of your headaches?
🥳😍
Have you been tested for allergies? New allergies can develop at any point in time.
I hope that your headaches and sinus infections let up soon.
It’s true, we often meet very special people along the way during tough times, whether it’s caregiving for someone else or our own struggles.
Thanks for sharing such a lovely story. I am glad that your mom had a happy birthday and that you were able to enjoy the celebration too.
It can be hard to find reasons to be happy when there is pain and suffering involved.
My mom died at the age of 95. I grew so tired of caregiving. I did try to make her birthdays special for her. Caregiving often ends up being a mixed bag of emotions.
Hang in there, HH. I wish you peace and joy in your life.
House, I’m so glad you and your mom had such a touching bday party for your mom!! 95!!
I’m really glad the caregivers are very good, kind, warm people!!
“so many of the people I’ve met along the way are so caring, compassionate and decent.”
For me, the exact opposite. Never in my life have I met that many people who’re dishonest, bullies, scheming, thieves, rude…
(I’m talking about the health“care” business.) (We’ve had bad luck with some caregivers, social workers, etc…)
Local family came, we all spent a really nice afternoon. These ladies were here on their own time.
I am so touched by what they did for her. This caregiving journey may be tough but so many of the people I’ve met along the way are so caring, compassionate and decent. I am just so grateful to have these women with us on this journey. If there actually are angels among us, I’d say these three certainly are.
Get well soon!!!
