Ugh - sick

I've never had anyone check my mg levels - I'm just self diagnosing myself. My symptoms clear up when I keep up w/ the mg. When I was pregnant w/ Logan my tachycardia got really bad - sometimes several times a day and I would have to lie down with my feet in the air to convert my heart back to normal. But that is when I started taking the mg - and within a week it all went away. But as soon as I slipped up for a few days (you can become deficient in as little as 3 days) I'd start to get the "episodes" again. Other symptoms I have are insomnia and worsening asthma. I've seen a cardiologist (though it was probably 6-7 years ago) and even wore a holter monitor (didn't catch anything). I had an EKG 2 months ago that was basically normal. My "episodes" are mostly triggered by bending over - weird huh. But not always.

So my plan is just to keep up w/ the mag and take it easy. Josh noticed that I seem to be feeling a lot better this evening - and I am.

It is good to hear you are feeling a bit better. When the stomach virus hit this house two weeks ago it was just awful. In all of my adult life I have never been so sick.
Take it easy and reat assured that your daughter is doing just fine. Like my OB always tells me, the baby will always get what it needs. It is the Mom that suffers. Just take care of you and baby will be fine.
(((HUGS)))

Caroline,

I'm like you in the vomiting department. I CAN'T stand it!!! I lay around like a dead dog for at least half the day. Then sometimes, I throw up so hard that I get a nosebleed at the same time. I'll not only be puking, but blood will start flowing out full force. By the time it's all over and done with, I have a massive headache...The toilet bowl is so disgusting that it's enough to make you puke again...

I'm glad you're feeling better!!! <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0">
