Question:
I believe that hives can be caused by stress. I also get them if
the bath water is too warm or I am out in the sun,even if my skin is
protected. Do you have any food allergies? That is another possible cause.I
find that yoga,and listening to relaxation tapes helps with stress.
As for you tests: BUN(10-20)is normal range
Creatinine(0.7-1.5)norm
Glucose(70-115)norm
I don't think the ANA levels are an accurate indicator of the degree of
illness. It is how you feel that tells the tale. It sounds like you are
pretty sick
Answer:
Had to get a Visteril script today thanks to more break outs. This
time my throat started closing up & my eyes almost swelled shut. The only
food allergies I have are to shellfish. I also have to avoid fried/greesy
foods, nuts & seeds because they aggrivate my diverticulosis & my
ulcers.Then there is sugar.. If my blood sugar is 60 & I eat something like
a candy bar or snack cake it will raise my sugar to like 80, but within a
half hour to an hour it bottoms me 20-30 points lower than I started if I
don't get plenty of protien to regulate it.
I am under an undue amount of stress & I am afraid that it is really
hurting me. I am starting to throw keytones again, but only small to
moderate levels.
I normally don't give in to self pity, but sometimes I get so tired.. I
just don't know why I have to be sick. Why it is so hard for me to make it
day to day..
I have 3 kids by myself. I work full time as an EMT. I just want to be a
good mother & a good provider for my kids & I seem to be failing at it...
Whats going on.... My fiancee just joined the Navy. He's been gone almost
a month. Thats stress in itself, but now I am having to deal with his ex
wife. She is about to drive me crazy. I have also had his kids alot because
the ex seems to think since I "took her job" & I want to be a wife so bad
then I take the kids too. So, I have been a fill in babysitter to 3 kids
plus my 3 kids. It isnt so bad when Tracy is here to help me out.
I am also getting things packed up so I can be ready to move in less
than 6 weeks. My future inlaws, myself & the 3 oldest kids are driving down
for his graduation & we are getting married in Chicago that weekend.
See, loads of stress here..
What I am doing about it... My ex now has my kids for 4 weeks. I told
Tracy's ex that I would babysit for her 1 evening a week. period. I am
also finally allowing some friends to help me pack & to help plan the
details of the wedding....
Anyway, I guess I have to get my head out of the samd & realize that I
am not able to deal with everything the way I want to.. Normally I think
that I can do it all by myself, but my body is starting to teach me
differently.
