So I found out last week that I am pregnant and boy was that a shock. The day before I was sitting in Dr. Sperling's office (gastroenterologist) discussing my symptoms. He recommended a scope for possible allergic esophagitis, mast cell infiltration, as well as some other stuff. Now, I can't have any procedures done because I am pregnant and I was really scared.
I have been having trouble eating lately and feeling like I can't breathe with a lot gas/belching and discomfort. I am upset because I can't take vitamins and I am scared that I am not giving the baby the nutrients it needs but I am trying my best.
I have spent the last couple of nights crying myself to sleep because dealing with a chronic illness is damn hard. I have an appt in a few weeks to go to an allergist and hematologist. They are going to research my mast cell issues and tell me if I have mastocytosis. After reading the symptoms and my endocrinologist always suspecting it, I probably do so I need to learn how to cope with it.
It has been really hard with my husband being gone on duty every 4 days. Somedays I wonder how I am going to take care of Livvy on my own but I am thankful for having parents that help me when they can. Last night was rough because I feel like I was experiencing an 'autonomic flare' I had heart pain, dizziness, and it felt like blood was pooling no matter which way i laid. I got really scared but woke up fine this morning. I am exhausted though so I hope I get better sleep tonight.
