I find it very upsetting that people can be so heartless in today's society. They send messages and then delete themselves so that you are unable to respond. They talk about how they won't walk on egg shells around people yet expect you to walk on eggs shells around them. They are so quick to judge and make assumptions about your life when they know nothing of it. They think that everything in life is a competition and they are better or what happened to them is worse.
I was told the other day (not by a doctor) that magnesium effected everyone the same way and that I "must" not be on as high of a dose as someone else because I was still functioning. I was told that just because I have been in a little car accident several years ago doesn't mean that I have been through labor and birth. I would like to clarify something ... people have children everyday. People CHOOSE to have more than one child. Women were made to birth children. Someone could not pay me enough (not even 4 million dollars) to go through that car accident again. To be in a coma for several weeks, have to learn how to walk, talk, learn, eat, move, coordinate, and function again is worth no amount of money. The pain that that wreck caused is worth no amount of money. The majority of people recover from childbirth within a couple of weeks. It had taken me 11 years and I still will never be recovered from that wreck. The medicines are so harsh on the body, the doctors appointments (and bills), the thought of not being able to have life insurance (ever) ... these things are not worth money. I will admit that I have not experienced childbirth, but until you have experienced the type of car accident I have experienced and the trauma from that, do not attempt to compare the two.
Secondly, the words out of the doctors mouth on Tuesday regarding my question "is this stuff going to make it so that I cannot function and swell up?" were, "no hunny, everyone handles magnesium differently, you are on a very strong dose which is why we have you in this room but you seem to be handling it just fine". And for anyone to make the assumption that I have had an easy pregnancy simply because I don't post everything everyday on facebook is wrong. I had to stop 5 medicines abruptly that were the only things that kept me out of pain previously, on top of my pain tripling because of the added weight and hormones. I spent the first 21 weeks vomiting everything I consumed. I've been in the hospital 4 times and I have been considered high risk from the very beginning. How is that easy? How can someone say "until you've been through what they've been through" when they don't even know what you've been through??
