Thanks Vortex. That is a sweet offer and I will definitely keep it in mind.
Thanks, Maria. It seems to be easing up a little every now and then. It is weird to go from someone who loves food to being someone who has to force themselves to eat. I keep trying to eat things that I know intellectually that I love but it has been better to stick with bland food for the most part.
congrats teacups and little Demi Chip!
Baby H is home from the hospital and doing well.
Yay, baby H. Also, excellent news, SJ!
Late to the party, but I wanted to add my Wooo-Hooo to the Teacups and ltc (who I not so secretly hope you name Demi or Chip). I am so happy for you!!!
And wonderful news about baby H.
Separately, I'm headed to the doc today. Or actually her PA, who I have yet to meet but the earliest I could get in with my doc is the 20th...which, ummm, no. I'm doing just about all I can to deal with the asthma, but this thing is settled deep in my lungs and she always worries about pnumonia, so now I'm worried about that too. I have never actually had pnumonia, so I have no clue what it feels like, but mid-way through taking my predisone and the chest ick hasn't even started to let up.
Symbicort, Singulair, and Nasacort have been lifesavers for me in dealing with my asthma and allergies. Breathing, not overrated.
It still amazes me that I had asthma all my life and never got a diagnosis until I was almost 50.
Suzi, feel better.
I'm in my 12th week now and I'm suddenly starting to feel a little better wrt morning sickness. As long as I eat every few hours it hasnt been as bad. Mom brought a tomato sauce, meatballs and homemade gnocchi yesterday, and I'm really hoping I can eat that tonight.

"Oh, you mean I'm supposed to be able to take deep breaths and not be winded after walking a block?"
Zen, I have my Advair (like Symbacort), albuteral inhalers, albuteral nebulizer meds, and prednisone. All working together and I still can't do much. Just getting to the doc is going to be a VERY slow process. But it is what it is and I'm trying to just keep plugging away at work, resting when I get overloaded.
