I just want to thank everyone who left me messages wishing me a safe pregnancy. Thank you so much you made my Vday even though Rico wasn't here. I really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.
Still adjusting. I had the worst day yesterday. I had this terrible headache that extended all the way to my left eye. And every time I move it feels like a 9.0 earthquake. I was bed ridden the whole day and part of the night. If you read my blog regularly, I've mentioned of suffering panic attacks. They gave me medicine to treat the attack. I have been taking Paxil for over a year now. I've actually considered of quitting even before I got pregnant. I was suppose to talk to my doctor about quitting this coming tuesday but I got pregnant even before I quit. So I called the Doctor's office Wednesday and the nurse practitioner told me to stop immediately. Of course, I asked her if it was alright to stop cold turkey. She said try to cut the dosage but stop it within a couple of days. I then took my last paxil on thursday. During the evening of thursday I was feeling a little loopy. Ears started to hurt and my head feels like there a rubber band around it. I woke up friday with nausea, headaches, dizziness & ringing in my ears. I knew exactly that this was the withdrawal symptoms. I called doctor and left a message but by 2pm I started to cry uncontrollably. I felt sorry for my girls, for my hubby & most especially my unborn baby. I couldn't eat because I couldn't sit long enough to eat. Rico called the nurse and demanded to talk to the doctor. I think the guy got scared because I was crying uncontrollably lol. They now told me that I can't quit on the paxil cold turkey. It will have many symptoms and it will be bad for me and the baby to have those symptoms. Oh well the nurse should have not told me to stop otherwise. Urgggh!!! She told me to take the medicine right away and it will make me feel better. And we will try to go off paxil one day at a time. Reducing the dosage one week at a time. Hopefully by march I will be off from it. I of course then asked her if it will affect the baby. She said the baby will be fine. The benefits outweighed the risks. Of course there's always going to be risk that's why I have to quit the medicine but if I do it cold turkey. It might be bad for me and the baby so we will do it slowly as we can. I pray that there will be no complications and that the baby and I will come out of this healthy. That's all I can ask for. I slept through the day and yesterday I thought by the time I wake up after taking the medicine I will be alright but no everytime I wake up the headache got worse and worse. I just had enough energy to heat the girls some food. By 9pm I couldn't take it anymore, I called Rico and asked him to come home. He didn't get my message till about midnight. He came home and got me some tylenol. Tylenol isn't bad for the baby the doctor and pharmacist said. I took the tylenol and feel asleep instantly. I was glad that I woke up today better. I couldn't take that kind of headache for another day. It was like poking my eye out. I started getting migraines after I gave birth to Jewelle and the headache I got yesterday was worse than the migraines I've ever experienced. That one topped them all. After a couple of hours it went to my right eye. It was so bad. I kept on crying. The girls kept saying it's okey mommy we will make you happy. They can be sweet at times.
Anyways, Im looking for recipes that are sour. Yes I'm craving for sour foods. So if you know any recipe please send it to me. Thanks Ladies. Thank you again for reading.
No scraps from me yet =(. Maybe next time...anyways have a nice weekend.
