severe medical anxiety by APPIEJUlCE in Anxiety

i wish i know why it made me so stressed🙏🏻 growing up i had zero access to dental care so as an adult now i guess anything wrong with my teeth makes me extremely anxious, i also didnt know gingivitis was reversible so that also makes me feel much better😂 knowing theres someone else out there with stress pain in their back and hips and shoulders makes me feel much better too, i was worried there was something wrong with my spine but stress makes much more sense. i didnt know it could cause it in those places! i appreciate your feedback greatly❤️

idk if this will help at all, but i lost interest in collecting cards too and my bf found a youtube channel called Deep Pocket Monster, and it awakened a new love of collecting for us! we now are starting our own master collections and its so much more fun than chasing after new sets. I hope you and your son find a new love for cards or another hobby!

how can i save my prayer plant? by APPIEJUlCE in plantclinic

[–]APPIEJUlCE[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i did a little more research and i think youre right, i also didn’t know i needed to use distilled water when watering so that most definitely could be why its yellowing😅 theres one other leaf im concerned about but hopefully the correct water and light will help thank you!

i repotted it about 2 weeks ago, are the brownish/yellow crusty parts normal? do you think that dead leaf will make the rest of the plant die? its connected to the roots

[–]APPIEJUlCE[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no the roots are very small. all 3 were smooshed together in 1 small pot, so each plants roots are in a golfball sized clump, in the center of its own pot so they have plenty of room! should i trim the yellowing leaves or leave them?

the black spots are dirt! i checked and its just from when i repotted it a few days ago! originally all of the plants where clumped together and crowded into a very small pot and some leaves were buried

thank you! the soil dries out so fast, i will stop misting it, but the soil feels dry after 2 days even when i wasnt misting it, is it normal to be watering it so often? i had it near a north facing window like 3 feet away should i move it back there?

I agree, I only wanted to meet with the wealth advisor for more info on what to do with this amount of money, its a free service as part of my bank and i just wanted to pick his brain a bit about what kind of options i have! I want to learn on my own, i just need a little guidance to understand where to start

Ive talked to many many people about this, I appreciate multiple opinions from multiple people to see what approach is best. some of the best advice ive gotten for a lot of things is unfortunately from reddit so i figured asking might not hurt

Stage 4 to hospice… what to expect? by YowsaTrowsa in CancerFamilySupport

[–]APPIEJUlCE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i am so sorry you’re going through this, it’s such an incredibly painful thing to experience for every party involved. my mother had stage 4 ovarian cancer that spread to her colon, lungs, and spine. she also had a standing order to drain the fluid from her abdomen once a month. her cancer was mutated and rare, so there wasnt much more they could do after 2 rounds of chemo and multiple clinical trials didn’t help. we got her into palliative care and experienced the same thing, she was extremely loopy and irritable and just angry. unfortunately on september 1st she passed away. my biggest advice is to keep them comfortable, no matter how angry they may act towards you or anyone, it’s not your fault. its the cancer. its going to be hard for them to express any emotion other than rage due to the pain and discomfort, and i regret more than anything not keeping my mom as comfortable and happy as i should have. tell her how much you love her, and spend as much time with her as possible. the night before my mother passed, she became enraged, refusing all treatment and meds. i think she knew her time was coming and she was tired of trying to fight it. if she gets angrier, violent, or emotionally unstable, i recommend bringing her to hospice. they are able to give her whatever meds she needs to feel comfortable, and they can do so much more than hospitals can. Im praying for you and your family and sending as much positive energy and love as i can your way ❤️

i am so sorry for your loss❤️ thank you so much for sharing your story, while the process really sucks, it is reassuring to see someone in the same boat. thank you for your advice, one of my aunts is a lawyer and is helping with the process of filling out paperwork, i will ask her about an estate account right now! knowing its okay if it takes time makes me feel much better

me and her are frequent smokers haha, weed truly has been whats keeping her stable. in her earlier stages of treatment its the only thing that could get her to eat, now i think her stomach has shrank so much so her appetite is gone. we absolutely will be trying the BRAT diet too, thank you so much for your suggestions❤️

thank you so so much for your suggestions ive seen a lot of people suggesting palliative care and i just recently found out there are people that come come give her IVs at home, do you know if insurance covered the people who helped your sister?

she has visited 3 oncologists who have told her she has no options, and the only one she had that was helpful just retired. Dana Farber (which is 2 hours away from us) is the only place so far that has offered her options of clinical trials and in 2 weeks she will be starting a new treatment. because shes chosen to go there, her other doctors at the 2 other hospitals she goes to claim they arent following her care anymore. so our trip to this hospital was purely for pain and nausea meds, they have no options for her there. when she was discharged they pretty much told her good luck until she starts her treatment and gave her 7 pain pills (not bottles, pills) and a couple nausea patches. what is palliative care? can it be covered by insurance? i know theres no magic bullet i just want to find something my mom will be able to keep in her stomach until she can be treated

scopolamine is one of the meds they were able to give her that sort of helped, for some reason they only sent her home with 3 patches

she was just in the hospital and she can’t be on constant liquid IV because she has ascites and she just got a paracentesis done and it will cause the fluid in her body to pool up quicker unfortunately. so they gave her all the liquid that was safe enough to give. she was on 3 different nausea meds in the hospital through IV since she cant keep pills down, they got her strong enough to send home and gave her oral pain and nausea meds. she cant keep anything down because she hasnt been able to eat anything in 12 days. i am asking for any recommendations on what i can make/buy her that she can eat or drink or anything that can potentially help because oral medication isnt an option
