But now, after having two kids and having preeclampsia, I also have to monitor my blood pressure and take BP meds daily. I'm praying that the BP issues go away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-health-problems-do-you-suffer-from#post-54005 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 15:48:45 +0000 mrscheesefries 54005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am very lucky, aside from a family history of potential issues.</p> <p>I am overweight, and I really don't want to pass that on to my kids (nor the body image issues that led to an eating disorder as a teenager). I am also prone to kidney infections, so I have to drink more water than most people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-health-problems-do-you-suffer-from#post-53991 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 15:37:50 +0000 lavender 53991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mainly just seasonal allergies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-health-problems-do-you-suffer-from#post-52360 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 00:27:43 +0000 SugarplumsMom 52360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have mild eczema, sensitive skin, a skin problem on my back that's unresolved (though I've seen a few doctors about it years ago), really bad teeth, a bad knee from a childhood accident, and now a bad ankle thanks to a recent accident.</p> <p>DH was also born with bad teeth (though not as bad as mine), allergies and bad vision. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-health-problems-do-you-suffer-from#post-52337 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 22:50:55 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 52337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have endo, severe allergies (both outside allergies and food allergies), asthma, chronic UTI's (about 10 a year), and an awful set of tonsils that need to be taken out.</p> <p>Since I have been pregnant I have developed very high BP (on bed rest now) and placenta previa--i don't know if that's considered a health issue though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-health-problems-do-you-suffer-from#post-52255 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 18:58:52 +0000 reggie 52255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have seasonal allergies. I get congested when the air is too dry and also during spring season. I have eczema so I need to lotion pretty intensively. I have bad eye sight too... -5 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-health-problems-do-you-suffer-from#post-52216 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 17:35:05 +0000 mrs. wagon 52216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Modern Daisy: Nope. After I was diagnosed on the second day in the hospital, they sent me home with some ibuprofen. During my stay they gave me morphine and some other painkillers and it did nothing for the pain, just made me throw up. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-health-problems-do-you-suffer-from#post-52202 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 17:14:43 +0000 akire 52202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, a pretty rare disease that has knocked me for a loop. It's not genetic, but my doctors have asked that I not conceive due to the stress it would put on my body. So we're currently in the process of gestational surrogacy. The disease surfaced a year ago when I got off of the pill to try and get pregnant. I had thought my first overnight stay in a hospital would be for delivery, instead I spent a week in the cardiac ward. That said, I'm so glad we discovered it before I got pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-health-problems-do-you-suffer-from#post-52073 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 13:50:20 +0000 calsmom 52073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm epileptic. It runs in the family as my sister had it, but she grew out of it. I am lucky to not have any seizures though. I just need to make sure I take my pills. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-health-problems-do-you-suffer-from#post-52058 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 13:20:31 +0000 Modern Daisy 52058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tina: OMG, the two-head look is the worst! I even made one doctor get mad/frustrated because he had no idea what I was talking about and kept telling me it was acid reflux. DH has been bugging me to go back to a different doctor, so I will do that soon and mention Devil's Grip. Do you take any medication for it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-health-problems-do-you-suffer-from#post-52037 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 12:58:58 +0000 mrs. wagon 52037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Modern Daisy: it could totally be Devil's Grip... it is caused by inflammation of the cartilage around your heart. Mine is very much sparked by stress. Many doctors have been unable to diagnose me, but this one older doctor diagnosed me in one second when he first saw me and heard about my pain. Whenever I mention it to new doctors, they look at me like I have two heads. So I don't even mention it anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-health-problems-do-you-suffer-from#post-52035 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 12:56:34 +0000 Modern Daisy 52035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tina: My chest pains are sharp and painful and in different areas of my chest every time. They never affect my breathing and my doctor confirmed it's not a heart problem, its muscular/skeletal but jsut can't diagnose exactly what it is. My sister suffers from the same thing and she switched from coffee to tea and said they went away. I did the same, but I still get them. I think it's caused by stress somehow, but that's just a theory. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-health-problems-do-you-suffer-from#post-52031 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 12:53:24 +0000 mrs. wagon 52031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Modern Daisy: What are your chest pains like? I would get stabbing pains on one side a few times a year that I'd mostly ignore, but once they were so severe I was having trouble breathing, and I ended up at the hospital for 2 days. They did EVERY test, including giving me blood thinner in case it was a blood clot in my lungs. Turns out I have something totally weird called Devil's Grip, or Bornholm Disease, or epidemic pleurodynia. (it's even been referred to as "The Grasp of the Phantom"... haha) It's caused by Coxsackie B virus and it just lives dormantly in you and flares up every now and then. </p> <p>Other than that lovely Devil's Grip, I have horrible eyesight (-8 prescription) and Rob Sr. has severe astigmatism (cannot be corrected with contacts, so he has to wear glasses) so our kids are doomed. </p> <p>I also have Oral Allergy Syndrome (allergic to most fresh fruits and veggies), which developed in my 20s. My dad has it too.</p> <p>I get bronchitis every year. Lovely. None so far this year... I think RJ's daycare illnesses have really strengthened my immune system!</p> <p>I got shingles last year. That SUCKS. Hurts worse than the Devil's Grip. If you've ever had the chicken pox, you can develop shingles at any time. Yuck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-health-problems-do-you-suffer-from#post-51968 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 11:51:40 +0000 winniebee 51968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Terrible eyesight! Was born with glaucoma, cataracts, and nearsightedness. Had surgery as a baby to relieve the glaucoma (I almost went blind!) and have worn glasses/contacts my whole life. Last year, I had cataracts surgery in both eyes, which helped a little but I still need glasses or contacts. Hoping LO doesn't get any of these issues!</p> <p>Otherwise, quite healthy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-health-problems-do-you-suffer-from#post-51951 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 11:38:20 +0000 carrieknitscake 51951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: I got a retinal tear in one eye and then the next year, the other one. From what my eye doctor said, it happens as you age and your eye stretches. I had two of those laser surgeries. I never thought that I would dread getting my eyes dilated more than going to the dentist. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-health-problems-do-you-suffer-from#post-51938 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 11:22:58 +0000 mrsjyw 51938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty healthy for the most part and have a great immune system. I have horrible eyesight and horrible teeth. I get migraines pretty often, but elsewise... I'm a healthy bee! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-health-problems-do-you-suffer-from#post-51932 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 11:19:44 +0000 Rescuemom10 51932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am pretty healthy for the most part. I have bad knee's but thats pretty much due to an injury.<br /> Pretty sure DH is developing Fibormyalgia just like his father badly suffers from. DH has all the signs of early onset of it, he is in pain a lot in the kneck area but will not go to medical about it yet. Not until he gets closer to retirement from the Military. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-health-problems-do-you-suffer-from#post-51895 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 10:43:36 +0000 yin 51895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have PVC (premature ventricular contractions), and I was diagnosed when pregnant with my LO. My heart doesn't always beat normally, and it can cause chest pains every now and then. No big deal right now but can worsen later.</p> <p>I also had a retinal tear in my right eye a few years ago and had to have laser surgery to seal the tear. Luckily it was found before the tear could progress to detachment.</p> <p>Diabetes and high blood pressure run in my family, and breast cancer runs in my DH's family. Hopefully these won't be passed on to my LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-health-problems-do-you-suffer-from#post-51894 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 10:42:24 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 51894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have narcolepsy and an inherited whacky back. Hoping my LO doesn't end up with either of those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-health-problems-do-you-suffer-from#post-51887 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 10:38:32 +0000 mrbee 51887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Wow, what a great GP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-health-problems-do-you-suffer-from#post-51886 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 10:37:39 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 51886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear contacts and my husband has hearing loss in one of his ears. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-health-problems-do-you-suffer-from#post-51883 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 10:36:26 +0000 Modern Daisy 51883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a couple of horrible and gross ones! I suffer from frequent chest pains. No doctor has been able to diagnose me other than 'it might be acid reflux' (which it isn't). I also have an anal fissure that acts up anytime I get constipated (sorry TMI). I remember they joked about that condition on an episode of The Office and I was like "Hey, it's not funny - I have that!"</p> <p>I also used to suffer from severe acne until I got on accutane a few years ago. That drug is like a lifesaver! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-health-problems-do-you-suffer-from#post-51882 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 10:36:12 +0000 polkadots 51882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had really bad teeth when I was little,.. but they are fixed now. I suffer from back problems but those are car accident related. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-health-problems-do-you-suffer-from#post-51864 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 10:14:56 +0000 prettylizy 51864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly just seasonal allergies. I was diagnosed with acid reflux at the age of 11, but I pretty much have it under control now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-health-problems-do-you-suffer-from#post-51851 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 10:00:03 +0000 Rubies 51851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>- allergies<br /> - really bad eyesight (the hubs, too)<br /> - I have a history of depression and anxiety</p> <p>The hubs is really healthy so hopefully our kids will be, too. Except for the glasses thing. We joked that LO would be born already wearing glasses. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-health-problems-do-you-suffer-from#post-51834 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 09:40:16 +0000 heffalump 51834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubby and I are not healthy. At the beginning of our meal, we break out the pill boxes and and figure out what pills go with that meal. I get severe migraines and he has crohns. We're both having surgery soon though, him to reverse a colostomy because he's doing a lot better and me to help with the migraines. It's going to be an interesting next few months!</p> <p>Our baby will also probably be stuck with glasses, and if she's like me bad teeth. I only lost two teeth on my own, got the rest along with some adult teeth pulled because my mouth is so small, and I had to have two sets of braces. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-health-problems-do-you-suffer-from#post-51830 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 09:32:21 +0000 tequiero21 51830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>except for bad teeth, bad eyes, and allergies, no real problems here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-health-problems-do-you-suffer-from#post-51743 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 04:42:22 +0000 mediagirl 51743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: my gp found a heart murmur and sent me to the cardiologist. It's apparently an inherited problem... Thanks Mom and Dad! :-) You see I'm not too worried about it right now. It is strange though, every once in a while I'll feel my heart flutter. It's an odd feeling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-health-problems-do-you-suffer-from#post-51741 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 04:17:32 +0000 MH.Abroad 51741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have mild scoliosis and my knee pops out of joint all the time and has to be yanked back in. I'm pretty healthy other then that though.<br /> As a child I wasn't tho - I had leukemia when I was 4, and a meningitis scare when I was 9 or 10. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-health-problems-do-you-suffer-from#post-51617 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 22:43:01 +0000 Andrea 51617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Healthy so far. My LO will need glasses though since DH both did. But we have had laser surgery so that is an easy thing to correct at least. </p>
