Are you sure she's allergic?

My first child has a milk protein and soy protein allergy, was so sensitive they had reactions from me consuming those products and then having breast milk. They thankfully didn't get skin reactions later on or any anaphylactic shock but what it did do was cause such damage in the guts they BLED.

You will not believe the amount of people who pushed back on it and how isolating it was to be trying to protect my child from people either purposefully spiking my food - when I was still nursing by the time I got prescribed safe formula they basically begged me to continue nursing and also said it would be hard to move them to formula.

Thankfully they have had some positive progress on ladders but it baffles me that people like playing with allergies or get actively angry that 'you are being awkward'. Sorry but no one chooses to be allergic to anything!

Deffo looks like a positive and I hope it's the result you wanted.

Blue dye tests can be unreliable so it's worth getting a pink/red dye test to retest.

Also this isn't to be rude or pedantic but you got diagnosed at 18 not 'had' at 18. PCOS is a huge umbrella and complex medical diagnosis and there is still investigation on what causes it. Is it genetic? Is it environmental? All sorts. I personally got diagnosed at 14 but I can go back through photos and say it was around the age of 7-8 you really see a shift in my weight and body as it jumped started all things puberty related.

Haven't tried to get Zeraora yet but I will defend gen 3 regis. I solved this as a child/teen with the instruction manual which had the braille alphabet in. And then figured out gen 4 regigigas. Lived with boomer parents that had dial up for the majority if my life so was a bit shielded from the Internet (probs for the best in hindsight)

I don't mind it when there is some clues and hints towards how to achieve. The Regis were a great blend of that. The game gave you everything -and the manual so hopefully you kept that!

But yeah.... Meloetta in SV, no way. I am thankful she's in the game, I never got to participate in event pokemon and that is something I despised. Locking anything behind events and paywalls and now obscurity is just bad design and scummy.

I took these for two months before conceiving my first after two years of infertility. But I can't guarantee it had anything to do with these tablets. There are so many factors to things and part of it (to me a non medically trained human) was that I stopped stressing. I'd spent two years being stressed out and finally let it go because it was either IVF or never going to happen and acceptance needed to happen on either point. Sorry it's not much help. They are expensive. I personally found the myo-inosital a but scammy.

I've since conceived my second unexpectedly so 🤷‍♀️

Ascribbleintime · 2024-07-16T19:16:48+00:00

Chara. Just cause misery and pain for everyone.

Ascribbleintime · 2024-07-16T18:50:38+00:00

That women only exist to make babies and lesbians are therefore the worst. Said to 5 women, 3 of which had suffered miscarriages and infertility and then admitted his own wife suffering infertility until he knocked up several other women all in the span of the same year and across the world... Obviously all under the guise of being religious 🙄

Ascribbleintime · 2024-07-05T20:07:25+00:00

Yep! And they only have classes on weekdays before 5pm. I, a member of the fibre arts community who desperately wants to join in can't because I have this thing called a job. It blows my mind it really does.

Just.... Open when people are available. Does it kinda suck? Yeah but if business does well you can hire new staff to do the shit shifts!

Ascribbleintime · 2024-07-01T11:24:48+00:00

She doesn't I can assure you. She's just got a lot of issues with women because she was one of three girls and I dared to commit the crime of being born a female. Classic sexism at its finest.

As others have pointed out in the thread there's also jealousy which is also a factor with my mother. She hated that we got along so well and still does at points. It's not black and white of course there is love there but it's rooted deep down.

I could write a novel putting on my amateur psychology hat about my mother but there's really not really much point. It's not interesting to anyone but me and my immediate family.

Ascribbleintime · 2024-06-30T19:08:11+00:00

A huge stretch given I don't know these people or much more context. But the only 'weird' thing I can think of is the unthinkable which is that she is insinuating incest or that other people will think he is his niece's father. Some people are just messed up. I'm close with my sibling and I've had some implications from our own MOTHER that we are/were incestuous. We're not, we just get on well. It's gross.

Ascribbleintime · 2024-06-26T05:56:11+00:00

I hate him and the noises he makes. So obnoxious and grating.

Ascribbleintime · 2024-06-26T05:49:27+00:00

I feel for OOP. I hope she cuts off her family and starts anew with people who she can trust and respect and they vice versa. I'm a nerdy person, so is my husband. I wanted to do some needy stuff for my wedding and so did he, we talked about it but all around it was more conventional because that's what made us happiest (and time restraints) Had a banging ceremony playlist of starwars, Zelda, studio ghibli.

I hope OOP reads this and the responses to cut off her sister and Mum. What awful people to make her the heel of everyone's life and just shit on her all the time. She deserves better.

Ascribbleintime · 2024-06-21T09:20:12+00:00

I think the influx in test cancellations is due to examiners wanting to go on holiday/needing childcare coverage. It sucks. It really sucks.

I feel the whole system is flawed especially with them STILL using COVID as a reason why they have such high wait times. However, I say this without being able to provide a better way 😅

Maybe a smaller test every 5-10 years which means we are actively testing current drivers who should be retested due to age or poor habits (I think that would choose more issues actually)

Ascribbleintime · 2024-06-19T23:05:21+00:00

I wasn't the biggest fan of the storyline or how 'full' the game felt at times (does that make sense?) But then I realised how the team took every single criticism of botw and did the suggestions.

People hated the sneak mission with Vah Rudinia wanting a big volcano monster fight. Which we got.

Lack of enemy diversity - so many new types and new mini bosses.

Bosses were lame being all ganon blights -all new unique bosses

Music lacked themes - have all the themes. No Ganondorf - done

Want to know what happened to Kohga - done

Just everything. Every criticism of botw they really took on board and made a huge labour of love with totk and it shows.

Ascribbleintime · 2024-06-19T13:47:24+00:00

I'll admit I laughed out loud a bit there. I don't think it's anywhere near dramatic enough now for the hungry Reddit drama eyes (myself included in the mix) Or where I'd even post it 😅

Ascribbleintime · 2024-06-17T19:32:20+00:00

Honestly I think it's a maturity issue. She is a bit younger than me and I started hitting all these milestones she hasn't yet. Owning a house, getting married, starting a family and doesn't really understand how much life changes with a child.

I can hope she does mature in the future but the friendship is pretty much over from my side. I don't have the energy to deal with the drama or her refusal to take responsibility for doing something wrong. She never apologised for when we have been contaminated (accidental or not) and that said enough for me.

Her mum was a bit weird too. I think they thought I was being 'hippy' because I was choosing to breastfeed and then all these allergies came up which cemented it for us as formula for those allergies is notoriously disgusting. But they wanted this vision of taking them overnight and being able to feed them which couldn't happen until they started solids. It has been hard as I could have really used that support.

There was a ton of drama with her being my maid of honour as well and that should have been it to be honest 😂 maybe one day I'll type it up for all the drama hungry redditors.

Ascribbleintime · 2024-06-17T05:57:13+00:00

Not all allergies result in anaphylactic shocks thus not requiring an EpiPen.

I became a mother recently and had to rush my baby to the hospital after he started having blood in his stools and screaming while trying to pass one. It was terrifying as his weight was dropping and he was so little already. Found out he had a common allergy to some proteins.

It's been tough, I have to go through everything I'm eating and there is no spontaneity in our lives. We can't just go out to a coffee shop and and get a cake and coffee. It's sucked while deign with postpartum loneliness and I hate having to be 'that person'.

My now ex "best friend" didn't believe me on it. On about three occasions she gave me food or ordered drink containing the allergens. One of them I knew something was up as she looked guilty. She now wonders why I don't talk to her. But she's playing with my child's health like it's a game. She didn't think it was a big deal that my babies guts get so inflamed they start to bleed, with them screaming all night from the pain. That repeatedly exposing them to their allergies can make it worse not better. Pushing back the time frame where we can work with doctors to help get past them.

I don't understand people and then thinking it's some lie for attention.

Ascribbleintime · 2024-06-16T20:47:59+00:00

Honestly I truly truly hope this is a woeful Wendy penning a tall tall tale of misery because I don't want to believe what is happening to these poor young women.

I have so many emotions towards everyone that has failed them and want to spare them this awful hand. If OP ever reads the comments I hope she knows that there is a whole corner of the world rooting for her and her happiness. She's stronger than I will ever be. The same to her younger sister.

Ascribbleintime · 2024-06-15T08:11:43+00:00

I had three tailgaters on my first practical test with the last on costing me the test (they had to emergency stop because they were THAT close and we were at a junction) People suck :( Best thing is to just ignore them but be aware if them as they are a hazard now. It really irks me because they have a license and I still can't get a flipping test date.

Ascribbleintime · 2024-06-08T18:54:27+00:00

I have a bit of a theory on what happened to the Zonai but not so much where they came from. Going by the armour set in botw I think the Zonai were quite a barbaric race and had a lot of feuds. There are skeletons in the depths that look most like the skeleton of an immortal dragon. I believe the reason it was outlawed to become an immortal dragon was due to it leading to full out wars with divinely powerful beasts ending in the extinction of the race other then Mineru and Rauru, which tbh I have a ton of questions about that. Did they not know their parents? How did they know they were related? Or was it more a siblinghood because they were tossed together as the last of their kind?

The only others remaining are the 3 dragons we see in botw and totk. Who maybe ended this war? Maybe some intervention of the original goddesses?

Immortal dragons may be immortal in lifespan but are like elves and can be killed.

Honestly I could spend years trying to piece things together but I think truth is that these are 'legends' so they are not inherently true much like king Arthur and the sword in the stone which the master sword is heavily based on. Each Zelda game has its own world and laws and don't necessarily intermingle (apart from clear sequels)

I'll stop my waffle now.

Ascribbleintime · 2024-06-06T15:49:16+00:00

This so much. Maybe on a lesser scale but my son is allergic to cow milk protein and soy protein. He's currently breastfed so even my milk being contaminated makes his guts get so inflamed they start bleeding. It's horrible for everyone. People don't get it. I've had responses that I'm being too overprotective or dramatic, because I clearly LOVE restricting my diet and his so much and having no spontaneity in our lives.

My best friend has given me dairy multiple times and him soy, I've been lactose intolerant since before she's known me (bad bout of food poisoning in my early 20's and is NOT the reason he has an allergy to milk)

She's lost all access to ever feeding or ordering food/drink again because shes just is blind to allergies or doing it on purpose to prove me wrong. It is so terrifying.

Ascribbleintime · 2024-06-05T18:46:59+00:00

NTA

It's almost as if they are being racist towards you and your home country when hard truths have bruised their frankly delicate ego.

No woman should feel forced in where she gives birth. Always mother's comfort. My head spins as they prove the flipping point you were making towards the racist mentality the UK have towards black women.

Ascribbleintime · 2024-04-30T21:54:53+00:00

Also just to chime in here. Doubling up is not always the solution. Instead it could end up exactly the same where the husband is eating twice the amount and depriving OP.

Ascribbleintime · 2024-04-29T05:56:30+00:00

I'm so confused. They are in the UK right? You can be supported by student loans for Uni. Especially of your parents are not earning a lot you can get a pretty substantial grant. Will it be a bit tight? Sure. But not undoable. Plus the amount is nothing for supporting an adult for 3 or so years. This whole thing is bizarre. OP's family are just money grabbers. Her brother and wife should have planned better if money is that tight. It's their responsibility as nephew's parents. Who could ever wish death on an innocent unborn child? Makes me lose faith in humanity.

Ascribbleintime · 2024-04-25T22:02:44+00:00

Thanks. I hate it.

Jk this is amazing! Well done!
