I’m a miserable b*tch.
For a good reason.
Before my pregnancy test popped positive- I was vomiting every morning. The morning sickness started EARLY. I take three antiemetics, and it still doesn’t give me all the coverage I need. I vomit every morning, and sometimes at night.
I’m in nursing school 4/5 weekdays, and work 12 hour shift on Sat and Sun.
Before I even got into the doctor I came down with norovirus- I couldn’t even keep water down for days, and everyone else was puking too.
The following week- I ended up with a nasty cold. My sinuses were stuffed, and I couldn’t sleep. The taste of my mucus made me vomit, and every time I blew my nose I ended up with a bloody nose.
Then, I got a sinus infection. Never ending yellow green snot pouring out of my nose. I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t flush it out of my nose- it would just pour it all down the back of my throat, and make me vomit all over again.
Now- I have a fever, chills, body aches. Still have nasty green snot, but add in a cough. The nurse on call said it was a sinus infection, but RSV’s been going around, and it feels more like that. I finally got some meds I could take, but they barely take the edge off.
In the middle of all this, my midwife wanted to trial a lower dose of my antidepressants, so on top of hyperemesis, being shit sick, going to school, and working part time- I’ve been severely depressed.
I’m MISERABLE. I’ve been sick and dying for over a month straight.
This whole time- all my school and work friends are asking me how I’m doing. And I get to say- “oh. Feeling sick, and tired from school and work.” They all respond with, “yeah, that’s nursing school for ya!”
BITCH- IM PREGNANT TOO!!
I finally announced, and everyone is like, “oh! So you haven’t been sick? Just pregnant?”
No- I’ve been sick, and pregnant, and miserable. And I hate everyone. Can everyone just fuck off?
Thanks for letting me rant. I do keep my psych and midwife in the loop, and we decided to increase my meds back to what they were- I’m just waiting on the new prescription.
