Please mothers in the house, has anyone suffered from severe pain in both wrists after delivery? If yes, please how did u get rid of it? Asked my doc today, he called it (de Quervain’s tenosynovitis/syndrome) and advised i see an orthopedic doc. Pain is excruciating! |

I have read all the comments . I appreciate every criticism and concerns. I won't reply all the posts so we don't derail the thread. I intentionally didn't mention names in the initial post because I just want people to think within themselves if what they do sometimes is right. Also, Some of the things i wrote ,i have been guilty of them in the past so who am I to point accusing fingers at specific members. This is a general reply, just to shed light on few issues and close this discussion: 1. When I say CLIQUES..... This is an example of what i mean, When you see your E-friend fighting another member on a harmless issue they shouldn't bother with and you can't openly caution them on the forum but you also goad them on to do damage that is a gang up. We must always be able to caution each other. Using a safe example @Anonymousmum is my friend in real life but one day i saw her on a members case here, she was goaded on by some members and so I jokingly took her up on the matter right there she reconsidered, we ended it and laughed it off. So when I say cliques don't think too far. 2. No matter how foolish a question is be considerate in giving answers. If you can't answer press the IGNORE button . Till this morning i get tens of mails from members seeking answers on different issues and some of them claim they are afraid to ask questions here lest they are torn apart. Are all of them agents? I don't think so. Until i experienced things firsthand my views about a lot of things didn't change. Let's take a cue from the "Canada Student Visa thread". If you can, please go there and ask a repeated question they will either refer you back or IGNORE you completely, after you have shouted yourself hoarse you will do the right thing. 3. For members who don't believe BULLIES and CLIQUES exist here, I may actually be wrong about that assertion. However i am happy that we have nipped it in the bud before it takes root.Going forward let there be nothing of such. For example, some friends here recently exposed an agent, did they do the right thing? Probably YES but further down i saw speculations that there is another agent being monitored but no name was mentioned . I think Such can lead to mutual suspicion and further fights in the future. To everything there should be a limit . This thread should not degenerate, kudos to everyone keeping it alive. @Justwise i don't envy your job but when you see fights brewing kindly restrain the parties involved don't stay on the sideline and don't completely accept a single story as the truth give people benefit of doubt. IF you hear the other side of some of the issues that have been raised here you will wonder as to who to believe. Like i said on the advertising issue Seun needs to do more, there needs to be different levels of engagement and diligent follow up. There is no denying my love for this thread as such I will always weigh in when necessary. 19 Likes |

twingirls: To add my 2 cents for Naija visa (since I know u are not going to Atlanta) u don't need any notary. Eddy sent a sample letter and I signed on behalf of my dh who wasn't anywhere near me For American passport however u need a notarized letter of consent if your dh won't be there You can sign it down and take it with you but remember not to date it yet |

Enyinne:Guess it's what the automated machine said when you called. Is it 2 weeks or 4weeks? I think it's 4 weeks, Since you probably will apply for Visa afterwards. I doubt if they are very strict on that cos a friend that had 3weeks plus applied in the passport agency even without travel proof or booking appointment. She just collected birth certificate and walked in and applied without any proof of travel . Meanwhile, this is not summer so there is no rush der by this time. Just go ahead and book appointment for Monday, but if you have so much time before travel date, den you can go drop it off at the post office. I think it takes about two weeks. How long do you have before you travel back? |

Enyinne:WHMC, I droff my cap for for this una price. They ve so so increased their prices eh Chai. Even all their doctors have increased prices. Foreigners especially Nigerians (not only nairalanders) have bombarded the place eh. I can rmber the social worker telling me that in every 10 birth certificate she registers in a day, 8 are Nigerians lol. Thank GOD I ran to OMC this time and I don't have any regret. Just ranting ![]() |

The doc don't want to deal with multiple medical conditions so he didn't accept me even though his quote was higher than d doc I finally used. Yes Nicu is quite expensive in usa, I had to take a steroid injection at 33 weeks to develop baby lungs to avoid story that touches. The Nicu quoted $1000 per day for baby and $500 for mother. So I just weigh my option as I won't be taking unawares. Dentale: |
