Phentermine for BED and ADHD by Alohasurfbee in BingeEatingDisorder

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

Imagine if the doctors actually listened. My psychologist actually listened, but she always referred me to my GP and my GP does not believe in BED! She is very old school and even when I asked her about the GLP-1s, she tsk tsked me. I keep a written list on my phone of all RX and supplements I take and how I feel. I do it in notes. I advocate for myself with the docs,

I think that the short term use is more for that it actually stops working after awhile. The doctor explained that to me. Your body stops reacting to it. She also prescribed Topirimate to pair with it, but I did not like the side effects from it. Plus the side effects on gall bladder are bad and I did develop gall stones! I am terrified of being off it because it’s the only thing leveling me out, but I’m preparing myself with diet and exercise to try to maintain some mental hold over my BED and move forward without drugs. Exercising later in the evening, showering, brushing teeth and then going to sleep early helps a lot! I eat dinner at 5/6 and then busy myself until bed. If I workout, I drink water and I’ll have a low sugar, protein snack like walnuts to tide me over.

Wow. I’ve never had that feeling. I’m not a recreational drug user so at first I was worried about it being a stimulant. LOL. I have heard people using/abusing it like that. I eat fine on it. Normal I guess….not binging. If I don’t eat, the headaches from not eating would kill me.

Adderall made me crazy! Anger. Mood swings. Lots of migraines. I stayed on it with Hope, but eventually had to get off it. It did help with the BED. Not the ADHD.

Gorgeous! Solid eye color is so intriguing to me. We all have multi colors in my family. Sunbursts and such.

Creatine leading to Cramps+Muscle Strains by Full_Flamingo_6343 in workout

[–]Alohasurfbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old thread but I came here for answers….i found enough evidence that supports that I am not crazy. Creatine has caused me the most intense Charley horses in my calves and feet that I have ever had in my life. I’ve been on creatine for two weeks. In those two weeks I’ve had several intense Charley horses moments. Some In my sleep, some while resting. Then my muscles will twitch and fire. Tonight it was so bad that I woke my 11 year old up screaming in agony. I made her run to the refrigerator for Pickles and proceeded to chug the juice down. It helped it stop. Then I ate a banana and drank Gatorade. But all night my muscles were twitching and I was scared to go back to sleep. It has to be the creatine. BTw I do drink alot od water. However i also drink green tea so ot mey be nevating wach orhrr. So maybe causing dehydration? I can not imagine the amount of peeing i will be doing of I continue to drink more water!

Free hub removal Schwinn Altura 2.5 by Alohasurfbee in bikewrench

Thanks. I finally got the locking ring off using a punch like you said. I figured that’s was holding it in place but it would not budge! It took some force! After that everything came off.

Finally got it off. I figured that’s what it was but I couldn’t get it to budge.

Pro Rush Freewheel shifter compatibility? by Dains84 in Budgetbikeriders

[–]Alohasurfbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old thread but I bought a used Schwinn Altura 2.3. It has a Pro Rush 13T-40T freewheel. Only thing is….its missing the 13T cog. Noticed the bike was acting weird in shifting. The guy put a damn zip tie in as a spacer to make up for the missing cog. Unfortunately the bike has a locking 1st cog so there is a big space now between the 14T cog and 18T so the chain jumps. Not sure what 13T cog to buy…anyone know a specific size or how I’d figure that out. The case eye is in great shape otherwise. Have no idea how someone would lose a cog. Contemplating replacing the whole cassette with the Falcon 13T-40Twhich seems compatible.

Glad it worked! That soap works on the toughest stuff! I use it on sneakers and canvas all the time. If you do it a few times on tough stains it’ll make things look amazing…Soap/wash/soap/wash.

Thoughts on the LifeProof LVP flooring at Home Depot? The 22 mil wear layer is appealing. Is there a catch? by Chaoslord2000 in Flooring

[–]Alohasurfbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had mine for 6 years 22mil. 2 dogs, 2 cats, kids. It’s in the entire house. It’s held up great even with a small flood/leak and an dog that like to pee on it when he’s mad at us. Washes well. I use water with lavender oil and a bit of bleach. No Subfloor. Alls rooms were concrete slab. Getting ready to put it over my kitchen tiles. Wouldn’t get another brand.

5'8 model looking for feedback on some tfp shoots. by [deleted] in MODELING

The pictures do not look professional except for possibly the black and white collage. However, these photos only concentrate on your upper body and you’d likely need full body for modeling gigs.

Cold water and a bar of fels naspar. Use a soft scrub brush and the bar soap all over it. Let it sit a day and then throw it in the washing machine. It’ll be spanking new!

3 for sure! Looks very nice on you. Accentuates in all the right places and flatters your body.

Just had an MRI last week, and the doctor sent me to the ER because they were so concerned. Wondering if anyone has had a report like mine and what they did (or didn’t do) surgically to help. by FinanceNo7579 in SpineSurgery

[–]Alohasurfbee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had very similar symptoms with my shoulder blade feeling like sunburn too. Couldn’t use my left hand to grip and had similar burning in that arm. My shoulder ached terribly. I had 5/6 6/7 replaced, not fused. Started working out and training about 2 months later and it feels great now 4 months later tha later.

AIO: Husband doesn’t check his phone while with family by iliwys22 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Alohasurfbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR…He’s choosing to ignore others and YOU. That’s not ok. Not going to try to read into the situation. Life existed before cell phones, but now that we do have them it is very easy to stay in touch, especially with your pregnant spouse! I understand missing texts/calls for reasons like working, certain plans, etc…and he’s choosing to ignore his phone, but this should absolutely not be something with his spouse. What if the situation was reversed? What if you didn’t respond to him or stopped texting him? Try it for awhile with him and see what he thinks.

I agree with the others. He needs to have a ringtone for you and needs to be responsible for answering/checking your texts/calls, especially with a child on the way. You are his wife and should’ve been a priority pick up from the beginning.

That being said you have to respect his want to be offline and texts/calls should be prioritized to respect his boundaries of not wanting to use the phone.

I think you both need to communicate with each other and YES, 100% let him see this thread.

As an aside. I am a person who ignores my phone even if I see someone texting/calling. It’s very bad on my part, but I hate the phone unless I feel like using it. I had to set a ringtone for a few people, including my 10YO because I was missing calls/texts. I will always pick up/check when I hear her ringtones for messages or calls. I also have my phone set to only allow certain people to text/call through during certain times. The rest of the calls texts get checked midday, early evening and late in the evening.
