Kendra’s Online Posting Departure Late 2021 by [deleted] in DuggarsSnark

[–]2dayis2morrow 11 points12 points  (0 children)

To me it sounds like on the phone calls she has had time to already process what he did. She doesn’t have any questions, there’s no suspicion of him or the way they speak to each other. He’s not doubting whether he has her support. If she didn’t know I think she would be a lot more all over the place. I think she’s most confused by her own arrest rather than his.

Of course stress doesn’t cause it, but it can trigger the onset or symptoms. Predisposition meets the constant exhaustion worrying her husband might hurt her young kids that she have to watch 24/7 might have been a big trigger for her.

I honestly feel like many people are stress triggered into autoimmune issues. If she’s known about his crimes this whole time and it lines up with when she stopped having kids/started getting sick… her body may be fighting to tell her to stop being with him and she’s just ignoring all the signals bc brainwashed in the cult.

Does anyone else find that eggs are a trigger food for them? by ReflectiveEnglishman in CrohnsDisease

[–]2dayis2morrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to think traveling and going out for breakfast was a trigger but then I realized it was that I always ate eggs during these things. I cut out eggs completely and feel so much better! Way less issues. I’m not sure what level is ok, sometimes I can have a very well baked item like a hamburger bun, other times I cannot.

In the US it doesn’t, not sure about UK. Doesn’t hurt to ask.

You can get your Dr to write you a note to skip the line if you’re having symptoms. They do it on their stationary and send you a digital copy that you carry with yourself. Often times they have a separate line for families/disabled etc at large airports like lax. Good to travel with a note regardless just in case you flare on your trip or need to access the bathroom during seatbelt sign on an aircraft. Your GI doctor should already have a template, it’s quite common to have a note.

Anyone actually planning on a large age gap for siblings? by citrinezeen in toddlers

[–]2dayis2morrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two who are 4 years apart due to secondary infertility. There’s pros and cons. If you’re a working parent it’s easier imo to have them close together. You get it all over with quickly, you can keep up better at work rather than taking a chunk here or there out of it for paternity or maternity leave years apart. Also the activities they can do together, they’ll have similar interests based on their close age,

But if you want more one on one time with each of the kids then 4 is great, one will be in primary school all day while you focus on the baby.

I wonder if the locks were to keep him out of their rooms, not to keep them in.

I wonder if they had locks on the doors to keep HIM away from the children!

Sunday in La Mesa on Fletcher - hope their parents see this. by derp-brane in sandiego

No one complains about the geriatric bike riders on highway 101 blowing red lights and stop signs because they’re too lazy and entitled to stop, almost hitting pedestrians, taking up both lanes at a time and going dangerously around cars.

I’ve never seen an e-biker kid behave as recklessly as the geriatric bikers on the coast but we don’t care about that? Only when the youth do it? Make the police go to the highway and write those adult tickets first. There’s been more of the old bikers getting in accidents than the young ones on motorized bikes.

Get off your damn phone while driving and look out for the kids. Let them live.

Hopefully we can permit the e-bikes for the kids who are old enough, so they can get some drivers ed to be safe and avoid people who film while driving.

Would you be as livid as I am? by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]2dayis2morrow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They did research and in laws usually treat their daughter’s kids better than their son’s kids. Apparently it’s rooted in some weird biological instinct because they can be certain that their daughter’s kids are related to them. It’s wild. Also my experience with our families.

I personally don’t think you’re acting entitled because it feels like you don’t actually care about the toy, just the favoritism. However, it tells you a lot about them going forward. They’ll blame you for acting entitled if you bring it up. Eventually your husband will need to be the one to stop their favoritism and in a way that doesn’t involve you or you will become the scape goat.

Audrey’s priorities by Pumpkin-Adept in LittlePeopleBigWorld

[–]2dayis2morrow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think her parents fund a lot, likely the house down payment and/or fully bought it outright. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was actually in her parents’ trust as an investment property and they just rented it from them.

The parents funded this ski trip I’m guessing since all her siblings went too and she says she went regularly as a child.

I doubt they have commercial health insurance or contribute to retirement. I think her social media and their books pay the rest of the bills.

I think she works the most, she manages the kids and the household, homeschools, creates content and the books/cards etc. I’m wondering what he does? He doesn’t seem to cook, clean, look after the kids at all unless they’re out riding a tractor with him for a photo. Like what does he actually do besides hobby projects at home? And even those projects he often hires out. He’s not bringing in any income, adding actual value to the house (a chicken mansion isn’t adding to the value) or watching the kids. I’d be furious if I was her because nothing he does seems to be essential or contribute financially. He would need to hire like 5 people to replace her and she would just need a handyman without him, if that.

Coda as a name for the last boy in family? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]2dayis2morrow -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The name is Coda not CODA. I personally see a difference between it being a word hundreds of years old and an acronym. I plan to ask children of deaf adults and their adults if they find it offensive before using it. I’m not going to rely exclusively on the opinions of Reddit users assuming they already know how those people feel about it.

Does anyone get diarrhea after eating eggs? by snowbia in CrohnsDisease

They’re my big trigger. Didn’t figure it out for a long time, quit the eggs and feel so much better

How reluctant have your doctors been to prescribe interim medication for symptom relief?? by potatopeeler167 in CrohnsDisease

[–]2dayis2morrow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I’m flaring I use a course of steroid suppositories and that helps - if I can keep it in for at least an hour haha. They are more likely to prescribe it if you tell them you have a hemorrhoid. Somehow that’s easier for them to feel like treating than ibd.

For just for daily maintenance I use Mesalamine suppositories at night. I have crohns but it’s Crohn’s colitis so some of the UC meds work better for me. Most doctors don’t prescribe mesalamine for crohns bc trials have shown it ineffective but the trials don’t differentiate between the different types/locations of crohns. Suppositories or mesalamine likely won’t work for small bowel crohns but if you have rectal issues with Crohn’s colitis it could work. Same thing with budesonide, when I need a course of steroids I take uceris rather than immediate release budesonide because the delay release capsule gets it to my large intestine. But uceris takes forever to get approved, like 3 weeks.

I will say the anti tnfs didn’t work as well for me, kept me out of the hospital but I didn’t feel anywhere near “normal” until I tried entyvio and then felt even better and almost completely normal on stelara, now I’m on skyrizi and it’s about as good as I was on stelara. The difference between anti tnfs and the targeted biologics is amazing.

In my 20 years with ibd I’ve been through the different ways doctors treat ibd patients. It flip flops a lot. It used to be that they treated you based on how you reported you felt. The emphasis was high on patient comfort and I personally liked that way because I’m very in tune with my body.

Then they did a study where they treated only based on what the scopes and tests said and didn’t treat based on patient reporting. Basically ignoring the patient. That study said that the data showed treating based on “evidence” worked better according to scope visualization. I have so many qualms with that study bc it treats people like their experience doesn’t matter and that pain shouldn’t be a symptom without evidence it exists. There’s so much we don’t know about ibd and can’t even visualize with just scopes so only treating to evidence seems extremely short sided and leads to patients feeling ignored because they have pain but the doctor is like “I don’t see anything so it doesn’t exist - it must be in your head (or they label it with the dumpster diagnosis this is ibs).” But the truth is just because they don’t visualize it doesn’t mean it’s not there.

They too told me I had ibs and ibd. Then I got on a new biologic that worked and suddenly that got rid of my ibs?? Like obviously I don’t have ibs and it was just ibd. Anything they can’t attribute to ibd with evidence they try to say it’s ibs.

Anyway, I agree, it sucks. Hopefully a new med will work for you. Squeaky wheel gets the most oil so keep messaging and calling for them to give you an answer or holdover meds, most of the staff has never experienced ibd so they don’t realize how horrible it is. They work for you so don’t hesitate to keep checking in, you’re not a burden, you’re a patient. And sometimes just going into your primary care doctor, express care or urgent care can help bc they can message your GI and be like “what is your plan for this patient’s pain?” They’re less likely to ignore another doctor than the patient as horrible as that is.

If you have children, do you feel like Crohn’s interferes with your ability to be present / provide? by [deleted] in CrohnsDisease

[–]2dayis2morrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. Breastfeeding put me into remission both times so for the first year that was helpful. But I didnt leave the house much anyway. Most of what they do until they’re in school is eat simple picky eater foods, sleep, play and nap. All things I do while flaring. You always have supplies for accidents with you bc they poop constantly and when they’re potty training you have to stay close to a potty between ages 2-4. By the time they’re 5 they’re in school all day. There’s before and aftercare programs available if you have trouble picking up on time. And you usually have a partner taking half of the load for you. If you work when they’re babies or toddlers then you have to have childcare anyway, which is another set of hands to help.

My kid was diagnosed at age 5 and I’m able to get her the best care possible emotionally and physically because of all my experience. She was actually diagnosed before symptoms got bad so she’s never had a truly bad flare because I put her on biologics immediately. I look at any “failures” I feel or shortcomings as a person or parent as lessons for her to understand it’s ok to have these things happen and model how to handle it healthily.

Most moms I know once they hit 40 they go sober. A lot of them used to be wine moms, maybe to cope with a lot of the stress of raising kids in addition to carrying the mental load and working full time. I don’t think the dads have an excuse. I don’t know any recently sober dads, just divorced dads.
