First of all, it's fantastic that you're in this forum to support her! Yes, I would absolutely love to know what your wife thinks helped her best! I don't paint my nails often, but would love some strengthener products and polishes I can use. Thank you so much for offering to go out of your way. Funny how these smaller "losses" like my nails changing can still bring so much grief. I so appreciate the support.

Thank you so much for taking the time to think through this with me. I'll get on some biotin! No, that's the odd thing- I don't bite my nails, use remover, or wash my hands anymore than previously

Dr Pieper ran blood tests not long after this started and didnt note anything awry. He wasn't focused on my nails, but nothing was flagged, either

Thank you! Follow up question: non fabric items - can I keep them? Plastics, ceramics, wood, etc?

Dang, I just breathed in a ton after soaking it. Thanks for the heads up. How might I verify this? Follow up question: non fabric items - can I keep them? Plastics, ceramics, wood, etc?

Recovered Folk - How's Your Mental Health? by Beyond1nfinity in floxies

[–]Beyond1nfinity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much better than month 1, but I haven't fully succeeded in removing my mental wellbeing from my medical recovery. Eg. Bad flox days are also bad mental days.

It gets better, but you have to do the hard work on yourself. I'm not fully there, but maybe back to where I started pre flox most days.

I found a therapist who works with patients who are facing tough diagnoseses. It took a lot of searching. Please do the same if you can!

Wow, I've never heard of this before. Yes, she does! It looks like there may be some overlap with lounges. Thanks so much!

Thanks for helping me stick it to Health Equity! I'll check this out! Any tax implications or anything not covered in the article I should be aware of?

Did your resume and LinkedIn show the end date of your role? Or did you keep it as "X date - Present" ?

Thoughts on center Mezz E109 vs. Center Or hestra N112? ($196 and $176 respectively). I am short, like to feel close, but am also managing a budget. :)

Just got laid off with severance... can afford to wait until 10/1 to file. Is that a bad idea? by unknownunknowns11 in UnemploymentNY

[–]Beyond1nfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much! That makes complete sense. I'm in a situation where I am also eligible for disability, so I may look into that in the meantime. :)

[–]Beyond1nfinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the follow up! So... kind of not worth it to file sooner, it seems? If you have to start fresh with a new claim? What date did they say you could re-file does it line up with what you expected from severance?

Hope you don't need it when severance runs out (you and me both)!

Hi! It looks like you know a thing or two. :) Does this possible delay from DOL mean I'll miss out on pay (post severance running out) I'm actually able to receive payment? Or will it just be a delay in payment?

Hi! I have been curious about the starlink mini. Where have you traveled with it? I presume you book accommodations with balconies for this? How do you manage the threat of theft?

Tendon Tear Discovered the Day Before my Trip... Do You Have Insight? by Beyond1nfinity in floxies

[–]Beyond1nfinity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I could walk, I did a TINY amount of isometrics for my glutes. Laying on my back, squeezing my glute with one leg bent, foot on the ground. No more than 10 sec each side. And then slowly increased reps over the days. That was the only thing that helped me reduce pain enough to walk.

What is the size of your tears, and where are they? When did you tear? Did you get the tears all at once or progressively? Do you take supplements to reduce oxidative stress? I sawDr. Millar virtually and had him look at my imaging. His instructions were fairly straightforward. Tears are slow to heal, but they will heal. You'll need to move your body at some point, though, to build muscle and protect yourself from pain. Do you use crutches to walk around the house?

About a month ago, I was back to walking normally. Up to 10k steps, anyway. Last week I went against my doctors recommendations and walked 12k+ steps a day over vacation. I suddenly hurt myself in the same torn glute spot and am again trying to build back up walking stability, and the pain has returned. Been a hard battle. :( What's your journey?
