No sympathy for the devil...

I have a permanent condition, I was born with it. I can't even type out the name of it, it's so long But at least I don't normally get pain.
I think this new drug I'm on has been giving me tingling feet though I took some B vits they helped.

If your looking for sickies, me and Tina usually have something!

In my house, it's my dh. I don't think there's enough space to type his various conditions and the meds he takes for them. I'm kind of a dr. phobe - I feel like they're guessing, and I could save myself $75 bucks by staying home & guessing for free.

[joandsarah]

My dh is sickeningly well! I mean I like it that he's healthy and all, but the man didn't even believe how painful a dead nerve tooth thingamy was. I told him more painful then labour! But he thought that wouldn't be so bad. *rolling pin!* he can't even remember what a headache is like even. Sometimes, just sometimes I wish he would get sick and not me!

[jillyson]

It's definitely hard for someone who's never sick to understand. When I get a migraine, I try to go lay down in a dark, quiet room. He must come up about 3 million times to see what I need. I could kill him, if I could lift my head off the pillow!
But, be sick with a cold or flu, and good luck getting any attention at all! lol!

[Tina ☺]

If you bong him with that rolling pin he'll remember what a headache feels like Jo!

Thanks for the good thoughts everyone. I just try to keep in mind that as sucky as this all is, there are people out there worse off than I am. You just have to suck it up and deal with whatever life throws at you.

I forget the name of the drug, but it's used all the time for rheumatoid arthritis so it's not all that new, but it's new for my condition. Heck I'm willing to try almost anything after this length of time.

Hey, hang in there Jo! At least we're not in this 'sicky boat' all alone!

[gldkelly]

Absolluly NOT! Then you would have to take care of him as well as your self! Please don't ever wish that! ( Doing the naughty fingers ) Jo, you know better!

[joandsarah]

Yeah If I hadn't been practically on the floor with the pain of that tooth I could have belted him one

[joandsarah]

Well I don't really want him to get sick sick. But sometimes I would kinda wish he got at least a little something so he could learn some sympathy and not be so darn cavalier about stuff.

Heh, this is funny for me hearing you guys talk about beating your husband with rolling pins and stuff. My mom's always sick and I'm always taking care of her. She's on so many meds I can't even remember them. But they all help her, especially the anti-depression pills. She SLEEPS through the night with those rather than her usual 3h.

[joandsarah]

Sorry about your mum Nicole that must be no fun for either of you.

But yeah I noticed this seems to have become the meeting place for wives with rolling pins

[gldkelly]

Now I must admit that Jo can make an extremely nice b-day cake, but I guaranty she does not pick up a rolling pin!

[jillyson]

I'd be too afraid that I'd break a perfectly good rolling pin! Lol!

[joandsarah]

Hey I did make pastry.... once!

Plus there's always playdough around here...... dangerous hollow plastic rolling pin! Now wouldn't that pack a punch.

[Tina ☺]

Rolling pins aren't for making pastries. They're for whacking husbands over the noggin!

I'll tell you what. I've been having these dumb problems of mine for so long now... I would never wish sickness on anyone. It is definitely not fun.

Sorry about your Mom, Nicole. Hang tough girl! *HUG*

[Nicole]

I will! Jeez, I hope I never get sick.... Although, judging by family history... I'm doomed. *gasp*
