As some of you know, a few weeks ago my back and neck completely broke down, probably because of the weight of my excessive boobage. I got tylenol and naproxen from the doctor but it didn't help, so Tuesday I got a new one called dexofen. One possible side effect of this medicine is nausea and boom, I got it. So, I've been pretty much constantly nauseous since Tuesday and it's REALLY starting to get to me. Hoping it passes soon like most side effects do, but I can't really go without it either cos then the pain's so bad I can't stand it.

I'm going to try and get a breast reduction through common healthcare, but I'm also going to a physiotherapist to get an exercise programme to strengthen my back and neck muscles. Then I might be able to stay off the pain meds entirely

There, gripe over. Move on.

Update Tuesday April 17th: Saw a physiotherapist for the first time yesterday and found out that a) my posture sucks, b)my breast muscles are too short and c)it's probably mostly because of stress/tension, meaning that the boob size might be secondary but of course it doesn't help.
So I'm going to see her twice a week and get exercises and training as well as stretching/massage. She stretched and massaged me yesterday and it HURT but it's all good, it's what I need.
So I should get progressively better

Ouch, that hurt.

I hate nausea there is nothing worse than feeling sick, let alone all the time. I would take actual pain over that I think.

OMG you poor thing



try sipping peppermint tea (hope that hasn't made you feel nauseous) and contact your doc incase there is an alternative you can take.

I tried but after a couple weeks of constant pain I HAD TO take the med... I agree about it being the worst, this shit is even worse cos since it's not "real" nausea ie for a physical problem, I get hungry too even though I wanna throw up at the same time.

ohh i hope u get better soon
how long is the waiting list for the breast reduction surgery?

i have been ill for the last couple of weeks now, and drank half a bottle of covonia cough syrup in one swig last week
not realising that its mostly sugar, within half an hour, i was so nauseous it was untrue.

so i feel you, for real...

nothing worse than feeling all dizzy with your stomach churning ready to heave.

Thanks for the tip about the tea, will go check it out but I do get even more nauseous when I eat or drink though I have to do it.

No alternative I'm afraid, already tried the others

Teacher said:

Yeah, I know well maybe your body will get used to the meds, or you will get used to the nausea!

eraclito said:

Half sugar Now I got even worse

I hope you feel better soon.

Teacher said:

thanx

Major poop.

I know you are poorly darling and I wish I could be there to take care of you and make you laugh and feel better.

My friend Shirley had massive boobs, but she didnt parade them .. they were so heavy she walked with a stoop, and caused her great back problems.. they weight was curving her spine..

plus she thought she was always fat cos she would wear baggy tops,, but she did get a breast reduction and is so pleased she had it done.. she is like a new person and she looks great.. they arent tiny.. just a decent more comfortable size..

hope you feel better soon

Teacher said:

Oh honey I really feel you. I've got pain every day, and the doctor's solution is always some kind of narcotic. I've screwed myself up real good. My back is jacked up in at least three places (conveniently on top, in the middle, and in the lower), and I've also got these fucked up pains in my groin and hip. Doctors can't figure it out after ultrasounds, CT scans. I'm like "Hey! Check my back!" These are Stanford doctors too. Looks like you are getting the help that you need. It sucks, I know.

Excessive boobage, you say?

Hope you feel better soon Lady.

damn woman!

trying to sit up straight instead of lettin my tits hunch me over
sorry about the sickly feeling god there has to be something else!
my man is on altrim or something for his fucked up back. but now that you mention it, i think nausea was a side effect of that too

i've really noticed myself slumping a lot more and having more back pain
i really have to strengthen my core or i will be fucked up too
and nervous about breast reduction. i'm such a wimp.

That sucks.

Weed. Seriously. Not much is better for nausea.

It's a partial opiate antagonist too. . . it helps with pain.

How big can they be?...i can appreciate it causes alot of back problems...but you know men, they love big balloons.

Min faster och min bästa kompis flickvän har förminskat brösten och båda var oerhört nöjda med resultatet. Min faster till och med sken som en sol i flera veckor efteråt och tyckte att hon fått ett helt nytt liv.

Jag är ganska säker på att de fick det gjort genom landstinget som vanligt, så det finns inget som tyder på att de offentliga sektorns läkare skulle vara sämre än privatläkare i det här fallet.

Jag hoppas att det går bra för dig också, och att du inte behöver vänta i kö för länge.

liberation said:

and, that's really all that matters, right?

emm said:

I wasn't being an ass, pain is a horrid thing...i have had lower back pain since January, even seeking physiotherapy for it...sorry Jen.

retina said:

Tack!! Jag tror inte heller att läkarna är sämre, bara att det är svårt att få till det liksom. Skulle du möjligen kunna ta reda på hur länge de behövde vänta på sina operationer?

HereToRockYourWorld said:

Thanks sweetie, but I don't do drugs, at all. Never have.

liberation said:

F and getting bigger all the goddamned time.

Update: Nausea pretty much gone today Still hurting like a bitch when I don't take the pills, but at least now I don't have to feel like when I need to take them.

Teacher said:

I hate feeling nauseous - that's the worst! Get better soon.

Teacher said:
