Hi Ann,
You are smart to realize that this could be a combination of things - MS , new baby, lack of sleep.... yikes! I'm tired just typing those things.
Unfortunately we know that often with MS, post-pregnancy can be a horrific period while the mom's body readjusts. I hope whatever you are going through doesn't last much longer and you can get back to being over the moon with that sweet baby girl.
hugs, Lu
I think you are amazing to go through all this in just 3 weeks and you should be immensely proud of all that you have achieved and I am sure that little Vivien is worth all the challenges that you have been through. Rest when you can and hope all goes well and that she is one of those ones that sleeps through the night soon.
Love and hugs
Sarah
AHHHH!!!! She is a cutie!! hugs tick
Well, it has been a week tomorrow! The first dose of Gilenya went ok. MY heart rate was sky-high when I arrived (90+). If fell to 58. I was told that it was not bad. It has been staying in the low 60's; which is low for me, but still quite normal.
I feel like poop! I jdon't know how much of it is a 17 day old baby, mega doses of solumedrol with prednazone step down, or the Gilenya. I guess only time will tell. I got up at 3 to give the baby her bottle, and NEVER went back to sleep last night. I had to get in the shower at 6 to make it to the baby's dr. No napping today, as my in-laws played golf and the 3 children were loud all afternoon.
I have a huge moon face and have gained 4 lbs in the last 3 days. For some reason, the prednasone is much wose at this than the higher dose solumedrol. :-(
I will confess, I feel aweful and am getting worse, but the baby is totally worth i!
catch up again when I can.
Happy new year!
Ann
Thanks Lulu! We are living in a time warp around here. A good friend of mine came over just now. She is going to go with me tomorrow so that I won't be alone. Looks like the bloodwork came in ok today.
