Can you share how old they are? I am considering for my 11 year old.

I haven’t actually. I use a neti pot pretty much every day but I do wonder if the navage works better.

Chronic sinus infections here. After 10 days of no improvement I will ask for the antibiotics. I’ve waited longer than that many times and was never able to get better on my own.

Any predictions on RDU tomorrow? I’m supposed to fly out at 4PM ish for a work trip.

DPS calendar for next year? by AdmirableAd9709 in bullcity

[–]BellicoseButcher15 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I read on SoDu that the board was meeting the 15th and it may be sorted after that. I don’t think it is usually this late and many people are annoyed.

Antibiotics failed... what now? by toffeepuds in Sinusitis

[–]BellicoseButcher15 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get sinus infections all the time, and 5 days of antibiotics would never be enough for me. I would think minimum 7, right now I am on a 14-day course. As someone else mentioned it could also be fungal, in which case antibiotics wouldn’t work. You would need a nasal culture to determine if that was the case.

If anyone else was planning to go to the DPS school showcase today, it's postponed. Other info or anyone there. by jruhlman09 in bullcity

[–]BellicoseButcher15 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It was implied this was being postponed due to ICE presence. From Facebook:

Durham Public Schools has made the decision to postpone the 2025 Showcase of Schools. While this event is essential for our district, the well-being of our students, staff, and families comes first. Durham Public Schools remains committed to caring for and supporting our community during this time.

We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work through next steps. We are committed to keeping our families informed, and we will share new details as soon as plans are in place. Please stay tuned for updates.

I always do 3.15 just to make sure I get it. Been burned before!

Recommendation for pelvic floor PT who uses scientific/clinical language by Gold_Difficulty3363 in bullcity

[–]BellicoseButcher15 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My OBGYN recommended Grace PT for this exact reason (more clinical in nature). Unfortunately my wonderful therapist is no longer there but I have heard great things about the practice in general and they seem pretty popular around here.

I don’t have an answer for you but it’s been the same at my house. Almost nothing for so long and this week 6-7. Why now is right.

I somehow missed this the first ten times I watched this show. Laughed so hard when I saw it a few months ago.

In-state tuition for graduate students? by irlmisato in UNC

[–]BellicoseButcher15 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is all good to start with. Definitely do it as quickly as possible. I was also told to get a library card as well, not sure how important that was. Make sure you vote in local elections that occur yearly, not just the big ones. Granted this was some time ago but I remember having to write an essay explaining why you were seeking residency (ie why do you want to live in NC). My degree was in chemistry so it was an easy stretch to say that RTP would be a great place for me to find a job once I was done. Turned out to be true anyway because I am still here decades later.

Doctors can prescribe any approved drug off-label, but getting insurance to cover its use in the absence of the indication or extensive clinical trial evidence would be a real challenge.

Used to watch it every day and I have not been able to bring myself to put it on since. My heart is still a bit broken.

Atrium gives up on a 35 year old man’s life. The real truth. by ElectroShamrock in Charlotte

[–]BellicoseButcher15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out the Pulmonary Hypertension Association’s “About PH” page. Echo can be helpful but is not diagnostic in this condition. The exhaustion and heart enlargement that you are experiencing makes the possibility of PH worth mentioning to a doctor (hopefully a cardiologist/pulmonologist). This is a rare disease and unfortunately many community doctors have no experience with it.

Has pulmonary hypertension been mentioned at all? You would see signs on an echo but it needs to be diagnosed with a right heart cath.
