Hey everyone! Sorry it's been a while since I posted on here I been working a lot lately at my new job. I been getting almost 40 hours a week and it's been tough with Chloe adjusting to it. Anyways today I am doing a Health Update....
So I went to the Doctor not to long ago and my doctor thought I might have Von Willebrand which is a genetic blood disorder because I been having abnormal periods lately. So she did a Von Willebrand test to check my blood and she said one of the test came back slightly abnormal.
I am now being referred to see a Hematologist so they can run more tests to see if I do actually have Von Willebrand. I have a appointment on January 29th and I have that day off from work. My doctor just told me to keep taking birth control pills to stop my periods till they figure out if I have a blood disorder.
Just a quick update for ya'll! I will do a update on the results I get probably in February!
Love,
CES <3

October Health Update 2014
Hey everyone so there is a update that I need to give ya'll on my health and how crazy things have been lately for me.....
So first my weight has finally went up, last I checked it was 91 pounds and now I am 96 pounds. My goal weight is to be around 100-105 pounds. It's very hard for me to gain weight because of my anxiety and sometimes I don't eat when I am very stressed out. I been getting better at making sure I eat at least 3 meals a day and trying to eat more healthy when I can.
Next I been having problems with my periods (TMI) so I went to the doctor and they basically said there was nothing they could do because they ran all the test like blood test, pap smear, and pelvic ultrasound.... Which all came back normal. My periods have been lasting a whole month which is ridiculous. They decided to send me to a GYN doctor so they can figure out what's going on with my crazy periods. I went to the GYN doctor and she ordered me to have a blood test done called Von Willebrand. She suggested that I might have this genetic disorder that causes excessive bleeding not only with your periods but also when you cut your self. They said that your missing an important factor in your blood that works with blood clotting. I got the blood test done on October 20th and they said it might take a while to get the blood test results back. She also changed up my birth control so instead of taking depo shots I will be taking birth control pills everyday to stop my periods I only take the white pills.
So basically that's what been happening to me right now I will do a update when I get the test results back. I am still trying to find some health insurance.

Health Update: June 2014
Hey everyone! I am doing a health update today about how I been doing lately health wise....
Weight: After I had my daughter I weighed 98 pounds. I lost weight because of my Bladder Disease and Anxiety it went to 91. Now my weight is at 95 so I gained a couple of pounds. I am trying to gain some weight so I can stay healthy.
Periods (TMI!!): So for Birth Control I am still taking the Depo Shot. As for my periods they still seem to last longer than they should. Although my last period was back in April.
Bladder: I been having UTI lately so I went to see my GY Doctor and he finally is going to refer me to a Urologist! That way they can finally start treatment for my bladder and I might even have surgery. I will do a update on that soon!
Stomach Pains and Nausea: Lately I been having a lot of stomach pain and nausea. I think I am just eating the wrong foods because I am suppose to be on a special diet because of my bladder. I need to fix my diet.
Anxiety: I stop taking my Anxiety medicine just because It wasn't really working except it did increase my appetite. I just found stuff to kinda relax my mind like going on a walk with Chloe. I will do a update on it soon....
Insomnia: I have been having so much trouble sleeping lately. I am just so wide awake at night I hate it! Not good...
*This is my Health Update for June soon I will do a update on my Anxiety and Interstitial Cystitis.*

Anxiety Disorder: My Experience + Facts
Hey everyone today I am going to talk about Anxiety disorders because I recently got diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I am going to talk about the definition, symptoms, treatments and also my experience with anxiety.
Disclaimer: I got all my information from WebMD and from My Doctor
What is Generalized Anxiety Disorder?
It's excessive worrying about everyday things and life events for example home, family, money, job, school, etc.
What are the Symptoms:
* Excessive worrying and tension
* unrealistic view of problems
* Restlessness or being edgy
* Irritability
* Muscle Tension
* Headaches
* Sweating
* Difficulty paying attention
* Nausea
* Need to go to bathroom frequently
* Tiredness
* Insomnia
* Trembling or shaking
* Being easily startled
Another symptom is weight loss......
Causes:
* Genetics
* Brain Chemistry
* Environmental factors
Treatments:
* Medication- There are different medications that you can take that will help with anxiety or depression.
* Therapy- Going to counseling or doing stress management like Meditation or Yoga.
My Experience and Treatment:
I think I started having anxiety after I had my daughter Chloe, It got worse when I broke up with her father. I started getting very upset and angry with Chloe father after everything we been through. Anyways I know I need a change so I talked to my doctor and that's when he diagnosed me with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. It's been really hard for me lately and I hated the way I was feeling all the time.... I would get very shaking, upset and angry, annoyed, tired, I lost weight and my insomnia got worse. My doctor prescribed me to take Amitriptyline because it would help with anxiety and weight gain. I take one in the morning and one at night before bed time. My doctor also recommended me to go to counseling to work on my stress and anxiety.
Please don't let your anxiety or depression rule your life!!! Talk to your family, friends or a Doctor about how you feel.
Love,
CES <3

Health Update and 1 Year Postpartum Update: March and April 2014
Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't been able to get around to posting my 1 year postpartum update and health update till now.
I decided I am going to start keeping a few journals to help with my health including Pain Journal, Stress Management Journal, Relationships and Parenting Journal.
First I will talk about my health update which is my muscle spams in my neck and joint pain in my wrist. Ever since I had Chloe I been having problems with pains in my neck and my wrist. The Doctor says I have muscle spams in my neck and I might have Carpel Tunnel in my fingers and wrist. The muscle spams were worse when Chloe was around 8 months and they went away but now I think they are coming back. I usually put a heat pad or cool pack on my neck when I feel a muscle spams and I try not to move it so much. My wrist when it's in pain I wear my wrap that I bought at Walmart for it and that helps keep my wrist in place.
Last is my 1 year postpartum update which can you believe that Chloe is 1 year old??? My weight I check last time I believe was 93 pounds, my pre-pregnancy weight was 98 pounds so I lost a few pounds. I been on birth control shots and my periods have seem to be light and irregular. At the end of April will be my 3rd birth control shot.
Here is my 1 year Postpartum Belly:
I have tons of stretch marks!!!!

Health Update and 10/11 Month Postpartum Update: Feb. 2014
Hey everyone today I am doing a health and postpartum update talking about how I been lately... I can't remember the last time I did a PP update so I thought I would share that will ya'll.
The major problem I been having lately is my right wrist, it has been in a lot of pain for the past few months. I personally don't even remember injuring it but some people say I might have Carpel Tunnel which affects the nerves in your hands which I already have nerve damage in both of my legs. I am about to be 22 years old and I already feel like I am falling apart. Anyways I don't have health insurance so I can't go see what I actually did to it so I just bought me a wrap to hold my wrist in place. I hope this helps if not then I am going to get the money and just go to the doctor.
Other health problems I seem to have lately is with my bladder and been having horrible headaches. I have a bladder disease so I am used to the pain but sometimes I just hate dealing with it. Also my headaches seem to have came back again and they are horrible! I have been drinking a lot of soda lately which might be the cause so I am going to try to cut back even though it's hard when I need that caffeine to get through my college classes.
10/11 Month Postpartum Update:
I took my first birth control shot back in November. I been having trouble with my periods again... TMI.... I have been on my period for way over a month now and I hate it! I just don't understand why I have to be on my period for this long it's annoying. I go back to get another shot this month and I am going to ask them some questions about it. I also want to mention that my c-section scar has been hurting me lately and I don't know why. It's like if I turn a certain way it will hurt like I am pulling on it or something. Also my jeans don't fit!!!! I guess I lost too much weight after pregnancy because some of my jeans are way to loose on me.

Health Update: November 2013
Hey everyone I haven't did a health update on me in a while so I decided to start back doing them again starting with this month.
This is TMI but my periods have been so irregular it's crazy! I haven't started in 3 months and now just 3 days ago I finally started. I had the worst pain ever with it and it made me so dizzy...
I decided this month I would limit my self on sodas and start taking more vitamins. I also have been drinking more water, juice and mostly orange juice.
I went to a clinic today to get on some birth control and they said because of my health issues that the Depo Shot was what I needed. The depo shot I get injected into my arm and I come back every 3 months for a new shot. I am so glad I don't have to take a pill every day because I can't remember to take them.
When I was at the clinic I found out I have high blood pressure. They made me eat something and have a sprite so I can get some sugar into my body before they did the shot. They now want me to go see my regular doctor to figure out why is my blood pressure so high. They did say for now on I have to carry snacks with me wherever I go to make sure I don't pass out from not eating or having not enough sugar in my body. I don't have health insurance right now but I am hoping to find a plan to get on soon.
My bladder has also been bothering me a lot this month. Let's just say I have been very fragile lately and I have been under a lot of stress for personal reasons. I hope it will get better soon I just have to take it day by day and not stress my self out so much. I have to find my inner peace.....
Love,
CES <3
