The Worst Nite

ok, on average this probably doesnt classify as the WORST nite, but it wasnt a good one that led to a cruddy day. Last nite I was online until about midnite, which is almost unheard of for me, with Colin I am in bed by 9. But alas, I was reading and such so I stayed up. When I went to bed I only took my regular meds and my valium, no sleeping pills. It was late and if I took them I would have slept until 3, if I had only known then!!! I laid in bed, rather peacefully thanks to the valium, until about 2am, when Colin started fussing, so I got up and went to him as it was like he had a bad dream. I picked him up and took him to the rocking chair and began rocking him. He pretty much fell back asleep, then OUR nitemare began.

I place him in his crib ever so gently as not to stir him too much, and kaboom, the side of his crib just falls off!!! The whole moveable rail side was on the floor. I thought I must be dreaming. How does a crib that is made to certain speificaitions by law, just fall apart???? Well it did. I went and woke hubby and told him, he thought I was just crazy. He came into the room and couldnt believe it. Also realize by now, Colin is FULLY awake, and began crawling around the room. We tried for two hours to fix it, then I finally saw in my sleeping stupor, (oh, maybe I should mention that I gave up just before Colin woke up and took half a sleeping pill) a huge plastic beige piece on the floor under the crib! Unfixable! Now we had to set up Colin in his pack and play to sleep, which isnt the most comfortable of things.

I call the crib maker today, being Simmons they told me they could get the piece out to me for a mere 8 dollars with 7-10 day shipping. ummm... should I pay b/c their crib broke? nope. and for 7-10 days, where is my child to sleep for that time??? oh now they can rush it to me, all free of charge. gee thanks. now I am worried that when its fixed, what if Colin decides to be a bed jumper? He doesnt do it now, but what if?? I dont know what to do.. the only good thing about the rest of the day, is Colin let me snooze a lot, I needed it, and ninis chicken nuggets. Its our usual Monday nite dinner as dad bowls so me and Colin share them with some ranch dressing.. ummm... made me feel better anyway!

Thanks for listening to me complain!!!

this happened to me when i was babysitting once and it really sucks

the girl is 3 so she has a raduated crib with one side that does up and down. I put her to sleep at 7 and then the other 3 girls and I were watching Harry Potter on DVD and there was this giant crash in her room and we all ran it and realized that she had tried to jump out of her bed and the graduated crib side had cracked in 2 and was broken all over their room. it was very traumatic for the little girl and she didn't go back to sleep until her parents came back.

i hope that you get some sleep tonight and feel better tomorrow.

Argh! How nerve-wracking! I am glad that Colin was not hurt!

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      By RMJ · Posted

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?
