TMI, if you're squeamish don't read further.
It's your own fault if you do.
Anywho...
Well, learned one fucking hell of a lesson yesterday...
Do not take Prednisone and Iron Supplements at the same time, Ducky!!!
So, iron typically backs people up.
It does the opposite for me.
I'm severely anemic so I take a hefty dosage every morning.
Prednisone can cause diarrhea in some people.
I was prescribed to take it every morning for two weeks for my wrist.
Guess what Ducky's dumb ass went through?
thought my innards were gonna fall out.
I was so worried I even called poison control.
They calmed me down, told me I wasn't dying.
Called my doctor's office and spoke with the oncall doctor.
She apologized profusely that no one gave me that warning- in fact I got the opposite warning that I may be constipated.
Told me to not take them together and to take the iron at night to lessen the blow on my colon.
Haha. Jokes on me. I thought my body was expelling Satan's offspring in the form of black water.
(Iron Supplements turn your fecal matter black- there's a bit more TMI.)
It was horrendous.
I was a sweaty mess and was super dehydrated because I couldn't keep fluids in long enough.
Around 11pm it started to get better.
But I feel like I lost close to like 50lbs.
Haha.
I fucking hate medication.
Go ahead, laugh.
I'm not even upset if you do.
That was comical hell.
So I won't be on much today or Thursday!

Happy Birthday to them both!
Happy Birthday to the Ducky's menfolk!
Happy Birthday!
I know the steroid is supposed to help with inflammation on the nerve and shit but bloody fucking hell the amount of burning occurring in my wrist is absolutely fucking nuts right now.
I don't drink. I haven't had a drink since 2018 simply because I don't enjoy it but I'm half tempted to buy some tequila and do a few shots just to get out of this pain.
Goddamn it they better hurry up and schedule this shit ASAP. I'm ready to gnaw my arm off.
Son of a bitch body betraying me at 36.

UGH! I hope you feel better.... Would ice help it at all? I mean I know it's internal/nerve and what not... but think the cold would maybe help numb it and neutralize it? I have no idea, was just trying to think of a way to help you feel better.... Constant pain blows big floppy donkey dick!
Yes, ice might help. I don't know, but I understand what you are going through and it sucks. I am so sorry. Hugs.

Weirdo... ;)
I want to fix that sandbox forum. It is the one thing that makes me want to be an admin. :-)
Quite possibly a bit TMI but oh well.
Skip ahead if talk of the female anatomy and biology makes you squeamish. :p
Anywho.
Saw my doctor today.
She ordered x-rays, nerve testing, and started me on a 10 day cycle of steroids for my wrist. I will have the nerve test conducted next week to see how badly off my wrist is and which of the two wrist surgeries is recommended (either a normal carpal tunnel surgery or the advanced one).
My iron levels dropped again. Still severely anemic.
What this means is we have 100% determined it's due to my menstrual cycle since having the vaccination for COVID in 2021. My cycle turned out to be a hellish situation every month for the last two years and due to it, it is causing me to be severely anemic and even taking the supplements and the IV isn't keeping it up where it needs to be. I plummet each month. It's a vicious cycle.
So we got the approval for an endometrial ablation and are looking for a OBGYN specialist to do it who has a great track record in it. This will sterilize me. I had a tubal ligation in 2019 after my daughter, because they wouldn't do a full removal before I was 40. Usually endometrial ablation aren't done on women under 40 either, but my circumstances have made me a prime candidate due to quality of life and what happens if I do not have it done. This is also the alternative to a hysterectomy and hormonal therapy - I won't need the hormonal therapy after an endometrial ablation as I will still have naturally occurring hormones.
So there are two- possibly minor- surgeries for the near future being scheduled.
Modern science... Better than being lobotomized. xD
COMMENTS
I had an ablation done along with a tubal removal in December 2019. My recovery sucked but hands down the best thing I ever did for myself.
I'm worried about the recovery but honestly at this point it's better than bleeding out like a stuck fish every month. Lol
I agree. Lol You’re a strong Ducky. I think mine was worse because of the tubal being done at the same time. Otherwise I think recovery for the ablation itself is pretty quick from what they say.
Oh that sounds like a horrible ordeal to go through every month! Hopefully they get it all sorted out in a timely manner! You are tooooo busy of a Ducky to have to deal with that set back every month, not to mention.. you likely refuse to let it slow you down so it makes you feel even more shitty.
Fixing to see my doc.
Let's see if the anemia has gotten better and what's crack-a-lacking with wrist.
If the increase my iron one more time I might just holler. Ha
Doesn't it get tiring pretending to always be someone else?
COMMENTS
I would think it is exhausting. I am exhausted just being myself. I can't imagine mustering the energy to be 2 people.
Same.
I dunno how people have the energy to pretend to be some many people and bounce back and forth with ease at it.
My regular, one person day to day life is exhausting haha

Can you come to my house? It is a mess. LOL
Haha I would totally help clean other people's homes with no issues. I was a housekeeping for a while. ;)
Cleaning is my zen
Just reading that list made me worn out. Well, the cinnamon roll made me hungry too. ;)
Lort woman! I need you to make a trip to my house... You would turn around and leave. lol. Being gone for months means it all has to be done. I am getting it SLOWLY accomplished. lol. Mad props to you... like VW said... that list made me tired just reading it!
Oh boy.
So I've been up since about 12:30 am.
The pain in my flipping left wrist has taken a much more intense burning sensation and it's radiating through my fingers and up my arm, stopping just below the elbow.
I have an appointment at 0930 on Friday so I'm going to tough it out til then, but sweet bread baby Jebus this is some bullshit. Whoever told nerves they could misfire in this manner needs their noggin checked.
Guess I'll just distract myself by making fresh banana bread.
Don't come at me Bun and Ratcoon! I won't use the "strong hand" while I make it. I'll use the mixer. :)
I stepped outside and noticed there is pollen everywhere.
No wonder I've been stuffy and congested.
Cedar and I are enemies. I'm super allergic haha.
Even though I do have a giant ass cedar tree that's a couple of hundred years old next to my house... I refuse to cut it down.
That bitch has been here longer than me.
It may try to kill me when it's mating but damnit it's survived this long without falling and gives us some shade and oxygen.
You win this battle, ya horny tree.
This bitch just called me Kimpy.
Nah.
We beefing now, ho.
COMMENTS
Kimpy. Kimpy. Kimpy.
Oh bitch.
OH BITCH YOU BOUT TO START SOMETHING YOU AIN'T READY FOR!
Oh, please. I was raised in the hood.
Ha. Your hood ain't shit.
I was raised in them there projects.
Don't make me get the razor blade!
I once watched a girl bite a chunk out of a dudes shoulder and then spit it out and high five someone else.
Suck it.
Not bad. Not bad.
I once watched a guy bite another guys peen off, spit it out, and then peed on himself before running face first into a brick wall.
Bring it.
O.O
Oh lordy, the smack has started now!
You want some too?
I got some for days!!
I once say the Spanish gang go in and rip a guys house apart when he went to work because he called them racist names.
The house behind mine before moving to this state was raised by the DEA. They came out with dozens of automatic rifles, drugs, prostitutes, and even a pimp dressed in yellow.
It was insane. We watched it from the porch.
Raided*
Well I had a guy pounding on my back door, begging to be let in as he tried to rob the drug dealer next door. Said drug dealer came at him with a gun. The guy ran off, leaving blood on my door. The stupid drug dealer called the cops, told me so as he chased the guy off my land, down the street. Cops came. Both went to jail. Drug dealer family moved out a few days later.
Holy shit
Yeap. Drug dealer arrested. Robber had to go to hospital, and arrested. Us country folks crazy ass. ;) and I had to wash blood off my door, porch and car he put hands on as they fought.
Okay, Moons... Ratcoon has us beat. Us ghetto hos ain't got shit on these country bumpkins. ;)

Damn reminds me of the time I ate too many dried apricots. *crosses herself* Never again.. I used to eat them all the time as a kid and never remember them doing what they did to me. 9 hours!
