OK MIRAPEX is causing me rare unusual side effects that are similar to pregnancy. I have craving for TABLESPOONS of Peanut Butter with a cold Coke Cola. OHHHH. Also, breast tenderness and weepiness. I verified all this with the manufacturer and yes, it's been reported by other females but I was told to see my Dr.HAVING SAID THAT, I am not pregnant (can't) and second I know I am not losing my mind but will again be faced with a choice of mobility and having a life vs. these FREAKING side effects. I thought the dreams were horrid but the crying jags are worse.My baby (9 yrs old!) did the laundry for me and he is so thoughtful. He just wanted to help me and how could I get upset that there was only a few pieces in a FULL WASHER process? He looked at me and said "Mommy, did I do it right?" OK, I fudged...I said "Yes, baby, and mommy really appreciates your help. But how about next time I help you because of the chemicals?" He said "OK, but I did do it right, didn't I?" I again assured him "yes." That child I just want to keep here forever and I know he is not "perfect" but honey, he's like IVORY SOAP 99 99/100% pure. He's the best. So loving and maybe that is God's way of keeping me sane as the daughter is Satan incarnate, evil, rude, hateful, harsh, etc. Talk about nite & day in kids. But I love all 4 of my kids.Have to run......Going to the Dr. to tell her I'm not pregnant, lol but have side effects and see if there is another pill or option or magic potion to assist.Hugs and love to all

i go through those crying spirts but mine are always before my period, i cried yesterday, the medicine usually keeps me from doing that but when my hormones are raging the meds dont work as well and i end up crying which i hate! I have a daughter from hell i told you about but thank god she doesnt live here, she has visited 2 times in the last week now and tries to act all sweet but when i pull up her myspace website it has all these gangbangers on it and its just so shocking i can never have her around my 8 year old living in my house again with the scarey people she hangs out with, pictures of them with guns! no thanks its scares me to think that she doesnt see anything wrong with hanging in a gang! yet she acts like a sweet little angel when she comes over. talk to you soon, hope you get some relief from those side effects. adelle
Yo, Adelle, my sweet. Totally understand and you are sooo right and good for you for standing your ground. I am PROUD OF YOU! It\'s hard but no one ever said being a \"real\" parent was easy. The Dr. is going to wait and watch my side effects hoping they go away in 2-3 wks. If all else fails, I\'ll have a medically documented reason for beating the living h*&^ out of my daughter who is either possessed of Satan or just trying to stress me to death and I am too stubborn to die. Should be like the gunfight at high noon at the OK Corral, yea? ROFLOL
Hugs to you sweetie. Keep up the GREAT PARENTING that you are doing.
As I read your journal my daughter is yelling asking me some crazy Qs. Like where does this go...like she doesn\'t live here or something. What has gotten into these kids? I am at my wits end with mine also. Do they have a group for us? You know Hairless babbling idiots, I feel like that is what I am going to be soon lol. Real parenting is hard. And I think being stubborn is genetic so if u are so is she right? Mine is and cocky like nothing can get to her. But of course I know her buttons just like she knows mine, a problem I know. So what to do? Just the best we can. For you Adelle too. Do what u think is right because we not only answer for our actions but our reactions as well. Well I have rambled on enough. Hugs and Lots of Love to you and your family. You are a great mother even if it is at the OK Corral. ROFLOL xoxoxoxox
BTW Good Luck with your side effects. I have been having the same trouble but slowly mine are easing up. Hopefully yours will too. Mobility is a wonderful thing. Thank the Lord!!!!!
CHRINCI - The side effects are a wait and see. Will continue for 2-3 wks and see if they ease. The symptoms of early pregnancy are insane. My doc actually asked me if I could be. Now if I were, just shoot me at this point in my life. LOL But I just looked at her and said NO I HAD A HYSTERECTOMY! If symptoms don\'t ease, I may add/begin PROZAC? It will be the doc\'s call. Not sure.
Hugs & love Chrinich....Yes, when I locate the spa for insane mom\'s will forward info.
I actually called my gal pal up whose daughter is a nightmare as mine was/is and when she answered I said, \"This is the Organization for Stressed and Insane Mothers. We\'ve not seen you in awhile and were wondering if you were still an active member.\" ROFLOL
I need to join that organization, \"Stressed and Insane Mothers\"....can you send me an app ? (LOL) I have some bad news for you.....they grow up, move out and they are still a pain in the asterisk!!!!
Hi there, you know, I\'d be begging for a chance to see if the side effects don\'t fade with time. They VERY OFTEN DO ! Could very likely become quite manageable !!
We need to collect all the truly bizarre side-effects we eperience and present them to a panel of doctors. Course, we\'d be hauled off to the rubber room for an involuntary 3-day pysch evaluation, but I bet my MDiety has already given that some thought.
I experienced horrific side-effects when I increased my Lamictal. It was like a \'deer in the headlights\' frozen with fear anxiety and sobbing. And to think Lamictal is supposed to have minimal side-effects. It does if you stay at 1 mg a week!! LOL
Hi there, I sure hope your dr. can do something about the side effects of your medication. I have Fibro and get very uncomfortable with it but I have only used advil so far because I am afraid of side effects. I do take meds for bi polar but I really don\'t think they are working for me right now. I hope your day gets better and hopefully your dr. can help.
Please keep in touch.
Joanne
OK, some side effects (weepiness) is subsiding but still craving peanut butter and coke cola. LOL
ELAVANEY, can we get to do pretty crafts and 3 hots and a flop and uniforms and GOOD MED CARE at the rubber room? If so, that sounds like a trade up for me as I have no insurance.
JOANNE--- Never give up. It\'s always maybe the next med that maybe the ONE to fix whatever. Hugs to each & all
wow all the love in your journal by the time you get to mine it will be the yr 2014 but girl I do hope things work out for ya. Yeah female children can be a uh uh uh yeah challenge,thats the word! Take care hon you are not alone....
OK, my baby (9 yrs) saved his ice cream money and instead bought me a carnation! He also surprised and did the laundry. THANK GOD HE GOT IT RIGHT! LOL He kept saying \"I did it right, right mom?\" I assured him he did but not to do it again as it involves chemicals. Besides, his intentions was wonderful trying to ease my work load but washing 10 pieces in a full wash cycle.....LOL....you figure it out. Full loads are better than 10 pieces. LOL BUT PLEASE GET THIS ---- YOU WILL HOWL!!!!! My 17 yr old daughter washed 10 pieces but white fuzzy wash cloths in with dark sweat pants and my good dress blouse. ARGH! No, she is still alive, and my hair, well, it\'s mostly there but I did go next door to keep from killing her. Hubby couldn\'t understand my going to the neighbors. TALK ABOUT SLOOOOOOOOW! ROFLOL
