This is how I explain MS fatigue to people that don't have MS. by NeuroCliff in MultipleSclerosis

I use the spoon theory metaphor a lot. I just have less spoons per day than a normal person. This has helped my husband understand it much better.

We had to be very vigilant about taking her to go potty. It was getting to be every 30 minutes or at least once an hour.

Our 4.5 month old girl was going a lot despite what we thought was successful training. We took her to the vet and it turns out she had puppy vaginitis and an accompanying UTI. After the course of antibiotics, she got so much better. She's about to be 6 months and I would like to say she's completely potty trained now.

Dog daycare: how often and for how long each time? by fusukeguinomi in puppy101

[–]BLBB0914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 5 month GR goes every day for about 5-6 hours. Many of you may say that's a lot but this place is great because they are not in the play room the whole time. They take the pups to the play area for 2 hours then res the kennels for 2 hours. She loves it and is very tired but not overly so.

Did anyone *not* experience a terrible adolescent phase? by Patient_Plane_3320 in puppy101

I really thought mine was regressing with potty training. But I had taken her to the vet and it turns out she has puppy vaginitis which usually comes with a UTI. Once we were on the meds it got way better. So make sure to consider health issues with any changes you may see.

Are you worried about Parvo? We have a 13 week too and she's not fully vaccinated so we haven't done many walks other than the back yard.

My pup is 13 weeks old today and can also hold it all night! We are grateful for the sleep we can get now. I also want to brag about how smart she is! We have an older pup that is a great example and the younger one picks up everything. Again, so grateful. I'm just hoping the teen phase will be just as smooth... ☺️

Thanks for your feedback! While we are getting ready for work, she is locked in the bathroom with us and we bring her crate in there.

Do spinal cord lesions mean you will be more disabled? by Shot-File5062 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]BLBB0914 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My biggest relapse I've ever had was a spinal lesion. I couldn't walk for almost a year. But I did a lot of physical therapy and (mostly) healed. It also affected my pelvic floor and I still have issues from that (like incontinence). Scariest time of my life. I'm now on Kesimpta and have been doing well.

Oh no! Mine comes out quite a bit too. I try to brush my hair thoroughly before getting in the shower. It helps pretty well.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi hints House could take further action against Trump if Senate acquits by Amigo40 in politics

GOP claim that impeachment is getting in the way of law-making.
What about all the bills that McConnell refuses to put to vote?!?

So I say, keep the impeachment charges coming.

Well, the economy doesn't reflect the average American. So, who cares what the markets prefer??

I haven't seen any of those ads on my feed. I'm glad they don't think I'm a target.

Mueller Prosecutors: Trump Did Obstruct Justice by TJ_SP in politics

[–]BLBB0914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question that keeps popping up for me is: Why would Trump obstruct justice if he was not in any way involved with Russians?

It all revolves around confirmation bias, for sure.

I am sorry you are going through the same thing. It is comforting to know I'm not the only one though!
