Im a 36F mom of 2
I never had health anxiety until I became a mom 8 years ago

Now I spiral alot everytime I have something that I think is serious

I Dont smoke or drink and im overweight

Last summer while in vacation in fact last day as we are packing to go to the airport I had what I feel fits gallbladder attack … sharp pain from abdominal area to the back and shoulders i was on my knees but we had few hours before our flight and I really really wanted to go home so I braced throught it and went ahead and went back home and did not ser a doctor

But I talked to my gp about it later one and we did full abominal ultrasound which was normal

Now 2 months ago I was getting ready to go to a wedding (I rarely go) so I drank a triple shot coffee as i was getting ready to stay alert and awake as im not used to going out now … well a second similar attack happened I was not able to stand this time I did go to the ER

Even pain meds there after the second bag i started feeling relief
They did ultrasound again it was normal
Doctor did blood test to check on gallbladder and pancreas it came back normal

He suggest I go to a GItrack dr and do a CT scan

The mention of CT scan makes me spirial and im loosing sleep over this thinking of my kids and what if I have something serious😭

Since that last “attack” I have right rib pain/pressure/discomfort … when I was pregnant 8 years ago my baby’s head was always on my ribs and I had pressure there all the time … this feels VERY similar

I see my dr in 2 weeks im not dx with Hpylori (yet) but my daughter got dx last week
I have been having symptoms that mimicks gallbladder pain ir gastriris for months
And lately my main concern is pressure feeling under right rib

Btw one of the “gastritis attacks” i went to the ER where they did blood work for oancrease and galbladder and full abdominal ultrasound and everything came back normal

Hello

Few days ago i made this post

https://www.reddit.com/r/WegovyWeightLoss/s/MuKZElhbVt

And im so encouraged to try it and kind of excited
But i face few issues
I have bad ADHD and i feel anything that requires steps and times make me stress and not take the first step

Now im stressing on when to take it
A reply i got recomended not eating for 2 hours after the pill which is fine for me but if i want to take panatprazole as i have a sensitve stomach
Can i take it before the wegovy pill? Like 30 mins before? Or is it not allowed?

I have the pills and i see them everyday but this stupid thing is making me bot take the pills (stressing about time)

My 5 year old daughter has had abnormal stools since the start of summer.

At first they were very light brown, fluffy, and floating. Then she started alternating between that and very dark brown constipation.

She’s always been a light eater, but it’s gotten worse. Even a Happy Meal (her favorite), she’ll eat maybe one chicken nugget.
She also says things like, “I feel like I’m going to vomit,” or she’ll take a bite of fruit and say, “This made me feel disgusted.” I think she means nausea?

She started swim lessons this summer.
Then I remembered that at the beginning of summer we visited a family farm with a pool that wasn’t very well maintained. She swam in it and later that day had bad stomach pain, bloating, and diarrhea. I don’t know if that was the start of all this or just a coincidence.

Her pediatrician ordered stool tests. One result has already come back positive for **H. pylori antigen**, and we’re seeing the doctor in a few days once all the results are back.
Until then, I’m just trying to get an idea from others. Could H. pylori alone explain these symptoms (poor appetite, nausea, stool changes), or does this still sound like it could be a parasite

Hello can you please share with me your experiences in schools in sharjah thanks

Hi everyone. I’m 36, a mom of two, and I struggled with being overweight all my life
Since I stopped working in 2020, my weight has reached its highest. I was also on two antidepressants. 

I’ve always worked out even during COVID I kept up with online classes through my gym so I did try/still try

I have PCOS, insulin resistance, and high prolactin which made losing weight feel almost impossible. 
After a lot of thinking, I’ve reached the point where I feel a GLP-1 medication is probably my next step. I’m leaning toward the oral Wegovy

My biggest concern is what happens if I have to stop.
I’m fine with the idea of staying on it for years if it’s working, but what if I develop gallbladder problems, pancreatitis, or another complication that means I have to stop? The thought of regaining all the weight after finally losing it is one of my biggest fears.
For those of you who had to stop a GLP-1 because of side effects or medical reasons:
Did you regain all the weight?
Were you able to maintain some or most of it with diet and exercise?

I’d really appreciate hearing real experiences both positive and negative. Thank you.

Hello

Since summer started we started going to water parks and swim lessons

My 5 years old girl have some bathroom havits change and I want to know if its from the pools or not

Since summer her number 2 is kind of fluffy and very very light brown (but not yellow and not clay colored)

No other symptoms her doctor is aware and said dont worry about it if no other sympoms

No dietary change at all

She swallows pool water alot

I want to know if anyone faced a similar issue

Hi all

Im a mom of 2 kids an 8 years old and 5 years old

My kids have been on/off to swim lessons since they were 3

They are confident in the water and enjoy it alot but i wont call them swim safe yet (esp the 5 years old)

Im facing a problem is that im living in a small city in UAE and outside of swim lessons (that is quite a drive non is close to me) they have zero chance to pratice or enjoy a pool … here and there we do a hotel day pass but usually its busy and its a hassel and not something we can do all the time

I decided to get this pool

Intex Ultra XTR Frame Pool 5.4 X 2.74 X 1.32 M

I did not get it yet but want to know your opnion is it a good option? Is there anything i can put in at least part of it so it can be eaiser for the 5 years old ? As if we fill this it will be deep for her and if we dont fully full it then it defeats my purpose of them praticing how to swim … is there anyway I can make half of it less deep?

Also safety is a big concern to me it taking the ladder away after each swim enough? Of course locking doors as well but they can reach the locks

Hi everyone,

I'd love some opinions from people who own pools.

We have two kids (5 and 8) who love swimming and have been taking swim lessons on and off since they were 3. The problem is that we live in a small city in the UAE and have almost no access to pools.

We tried different swim schools, but most are at least a 30-minute drive away.

We don't have community pools nearby, and hotel day passes are more of an occasional treat than something we can do regularly.

Because of that, my kids rarely get the chance to practice or just enjoy swimming outside of lessons.

Im thinking of putting a pool in our backyard, but our yard isn't huge, so it would take up a significant amount of the space.

Another factor is the UAE heat we don't spend a lot of time outside for much of the year anyway

For those who have pools

was it worth it? Do your kids use it as much as you expected?

Hello everyone

Im a mom of a 4 years old girl she goes to kindergarten here in my country it starts at 4

She made friends with 2 little girls J and S and they became bestfriends … during winter and spring break we did few playdates

J and S went to nursery together last year so they were already friends before my daughter met them

My daughter for months was saying how she is “not allowed” to play with any other classmate just J & S

They pull her if she tried to play with anyone else they tell her “thats not our friend and you are not allowe to play with them” i kept telling her nobody should tell her who she cant or can play with and all her class mates are her friends

Now they told her “we want to be just us two friends now” and they keep ignoring her + whenever she plays with anyone they tell her to stop my daughter words (they dont want to play with me and they dont want anyone to play with me)

I already talked to the teacher few weeks ago and she told me she will handle it

We live in the Middle East, and sometimes schools/teaching styles here can be very different when it comes to emotional sensitivity in children

so I’m trying to figure out if I’m overreacting or if my concerns are valid.

My son is in elementary school and is a very sensitive/anxious child.

My issue is mainly with his homeroom teacher because

he is thriving in his other classes with other teachers.

But with his homeroom teacher im really uncomfortable with her way

During a parent meeting the teacher casually told me she asked him “Are you lazy?” because he didn’t complete work in his notebook. After that, he started calling himself lazy at home too.(he also told me she said he is lazy because he doesnt eat)

Another incident she acussed my son of hitting another child.

The teacher later told me herself that after threatening him by saying she saw the CCTV footage, he had a complete meltdown and admitted to it. But then when she used the same tactic with the other child, that child said my son never hit him and that he was lying.(and she told me herself that my son doesnt even sit with that child and doesnt interact with him so she was confused when my son was accused but “she had to investigate aka have him have meltdown”)

There were also smaller incidents like last week they had a “healthy” day and in the poster we got at home it is written “wear a top in the color of your favorite healthy food” and he choose apples and wore red top but in class she verbally told them she prefer costums(we did not have an apple custom) so as a result he was excluded from class pics and teacher asked him to stay away in pictures because he did not wear a custom(but there were 4 kids in pictures not in customs!

My 1 year old cat last week he was acting off not eating and then i saw him vomit a plastic string (from his toy) he also pooped and a smaller piece from the same toy came out

He was smacking his lips all the time refusing food and drinking water and right away vomitting

I took him to the vet took the toy

Vet said since pieces came out and his xray didnt show anything

They gave him med to clam his stomach and sent us home

All night i was with him he was feeling awful

The moment the vet opened i took him back there

They did ultrasound the saw a “small white shadow” they kept him for 3 days force feeding him

He pooped a smaller piece of toy and the vet did another uptrasound and said nothing is coming back

Now he doesnt vomit anymore

When he ate on his own they sent him home

At home he is acting so off

He only ate churu and refuse the food

He wint play he used to be vocal he wont meow

I talked to the vet its nightime here i will take him in the morning but im so worried 💔

I’m trying to find anyone who has gone through something similar because we’re not finding answers.

A family member was diagnosed with Papillary Thyroid Cancer, but the situation is more complicated than a typical case.

For about a year before diagnosis, she had:

Hearing loss

Balance issues / dizziness

Nausea

Multiple doctors dismissed it.

Then an endocrinologist noticed an enlarged thyroid → she had a total thyroidectomy it took 9 hours + removal of affected lymph nodes.

One lymph node was left because it’s in a sensitive area behind the ear. Plan is a second surgery in 2 weeks with a neurosurgeon to remove it.

Current situation (this is what’s worrying us):

Recovery has been rough

Very low appetite

Ongoing balance issues

Persistent nausea

So we’re stuck in this place where she still feels quite unwell, but another surgery is coming up.

Questions:

Has anyone had neurological/ear symptoms like this linked to thyroid cancer or lymph nodes in that area?

Did those symptoms improve after removing the remaining lymph node?

Is it normal to still feel this off after the first surgery?

Would you proceed with the second surgery while she’s still feeling like this, or pause?

We’re not finding similar experiences online and it’s making this harder to process.

Any real experiences would help.
