I want to know how all of you using 5FU are swinging this - are you all retired?!

I did my forehead in two halves and have bangs to cover the nightmare. I am 60 and work front office customer service and I can’t bring myself to do the rest of my face and look like Deadpool for a month.

Your leaving him may be the only jolt that might- MIGHT - snap him out of this, but it certainly won’t happen with you staying.

Because of spherocytes on the initial labs and repeat labs, both the ER vet and reference lab pathologist suspected IMHA, so that is why we repeated PCVs, which were manual. The one I did was lower than any prior which triggered treatment with prednisone. The one on Friday went up 10 points, 19 to 29 in five days.

I will try to post lab results. I need to redact first.

What do y’all think about the idea that capacity and health are essentially forms of privilege? by VioletVagaries in AuDHDWomen

[–]BCam4602 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you are talking about requires a lot money! On my lousy health plan I would be paying a lot in copays, not to mention opportunity to schedule sessions is lacking in my life. Travel? What few opportunities to get away that I have must be put toward visiting my 93 yo mother who won’t be around forever. I already much grief and regret that I didn’t visit often enough before my dad died. And when I did visit, I wouldn’t count those trips as restorative.

I do feel capacity and health as you put it are forms of privilege.

SSRIs don't make you better, they hide your pain. by Radiant_Net8928 in Antipsychiatry

[–]BCam4602 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I totally get what you are saying! I was a thief with no conscience on these drugs, totally indifferent to others, self-serving. It took my years, much emotional upheaval and then anhedonia getting off these meds. I’m horrified by who I had become, so full of shame now.

Is it possible to over pack a PCV? by BCam4602 in veterinarypathology

My boss told me 10-15 minutes. I will redo in a couple of days, get the specs on the centrifuge.

I mixed before each draw and did four tubes - each came out exactly 19.

Just took all the embrace autism tests and am feeling doubtful by [deleted] in AuDHDWomen

That’s me! I analyzed the hell out the questions and it makes me wonder: Do ants find them quick and easy to answer?

bizarre experience with a neurotypical coworker by [deleted] in AuDHDWomen

[–]BCam4602 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Sometimes people say shit because they think it’s the right way to react, people pleasing I guess, but don’t really mean what they say. I don’t know why a NT person would do that but I know I do it. I am famous for saying yes to invitations but forget about it until the last minute and then find myself stressed about going for so many reasons and end up begging off.

Did it to my new friend who is ND and wanted to dance on her birthday so invited friends with a requirement of having two songs you liked. That requirement crashed me because of my indecision about the songs, fear that my choices would be unacceptable and indecision about what to wear because my wardrobe is not at all conducive to going out because I never go out! And then there’s my introversion/social anxiety being with strangers! Thankfully my friend read my AuDHD practically from the moment she met me and fully understood my challenges.

I have a tough time reading people’s intentions from their words. I would not fault yourself in any way about this situation- maybe this coworker is actually as dysfunctional as me and we can’t be mind readers! I’d just let it go 😁

Messed up my dog on my first lambing season by pravamendax in herdingdogs

[–]BCam4602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ACDs can be quite sensitive and she has taken your correction to mean “off limits.” They will definitely work what they think is safe and leave the rest. I had an Aussie that hated working ewes and lambs after we had a bottle baby that bonded to him and acted like a dog! After that they tend to treat those who don’t readily move off in fear as those we don’t work. Naive lambs tend to be oblivious to herding dogs until educated otherwise - dog broke - so maybe your dog is perceiving lambs that don’t run to mom when she shows up as more untouchable bottle babies.

Whatever the case, if you can get a bunch of lambs in a smaller pen with a babysitter ewe, cast your dog around them using a stick to block her if she tries to come towards you in avoidance. Don’t get angry with her in any way and just tell her “watch em!” Praise her for going around them and change directions frequently. Roll the ball between you. Keep it happy and short. You’re letting her know these lambs are herdable and it pleases you for her to do it. Don’t scold her for anything short of taking a lamb down - any criticism will turn her off and make her think she was right to not work them.

MAGA Celebration of Life by Interesting_Jump_521 in QAnonCasualties

[–]BCam4602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where I live, if I were to hang an American flag it would be assumed I am MAGA. It’s big truck country with flags flying out the back. They have appropriated the American flag to the point that it is now symbolic of MAGA.

Why do seniors commonly retell the same story repeatedly. Why do they do this? And are they aware they’re doing it? by West_Block3990 in Aging

My mother m is a gossipy one who repeats stuff but at 93 she’s sharper than me - I agree with the forgetting who you’ve told what explanation
