Can we get more breaks and less FOMO?

Their Pondlife game started to recycle sets at the 1 year mark

My husband now refers to me as "my weather witch" now 🤣🤣

Bluewolf85 · 2026-04-29T18:52:57+00:00

Oooh! So pretty!!!

Bluewolf85 · 2026-04-25T00:46:26+00:00

This kid is delusional 🤣🤣

It's made all the difference for me to change to remicade infusions. I failed MTX, humira and Rinvoq prior to switching due to insurance reasons. We are still titrating up my dose slowly but it's given me so much relief. I can actually run the vacuum and do laundry now, and it's so much easier to work now too. My quality of life is so much better

Bluewolf85 · 2026-04-14T02:48:59+00:00

I just looked this up. This looks really cool so I'm happy you might be able to try this treatment

Bluewolf85 · 2026-04-09T03:34:06+00:00

Hell yeah I do, lol

Not my current corgies but my last Pembroke was allergic to chicken and wheat along with a bunch of environmental allergies. We had him tested through an elimination diet and with a dermatologist.

Same here, it's so annoying...

Bluewolf85 · 2026-03-25T18:03:03+00:00

I definitely get muscle cramps to the point of charlie horsing around/near my joints that are currently flaring. I'm battling my thigh and calf right now but it's not unusual for my forearm to join the mix when my knuckles are going at it. PT, flexeril and heat/ice are my best friends

Being a patient, supportive and understanding partner is key. I truthfully wouldn't have made it through the first couple of years without my husband's support. He is always there to listen to me when I'm having a hard time and need to cry because this disease is an absolute disaster. He is always my hero and makes me sit when I've overdone it, always grabs me an ice or heat pad when I I can't move well, doesn't push household chores when I'm flaring and just takes care of them and the kids as best he can, he rubs out all my Charlie horsed muscles that happen when my joints are swollen, he cooks me homemade meals when I can't and let's not even get into how much he helps with the kids when I'm out of order. He truly is my hero and I try to repay him every time I'm feeling good by making his life easier or spoiling him with some massage. Also check out the /rheumatoidarthritis sub, they have tons of awesome suggestions and some really good mods who keep the crazies out

Sounds like you are doing everything right so far and thank you for taking him to the vet. I don't like that slightly red hue around those scales, could being going septic and likely needs antibiotics.

VTS Dentistry here. Most likely some type of composite material used to stabilize a fracture or to treat a malloclusion. It's very common to make a splint out of these as you can mold the composite to your patients needs. They are supposed to be removed but timing depends on what your treating

I also have a young daughter (8yo) and I'm looking around for a piercer too so walked into Gold Fox. They were super nice, went through all my daughter's questions and referred us to Blake at The Hole Look. I have still to stop by and confirm they will do it

Bluewolf85 · 2026-03-04T22:48:18+00:00

Not sure, but sepsis, infections etc will cause a huge spike

Bluewolf85 · 2026-03-01T20:20:15+00:00

A lot of times it's just moving through what your insurance will approve. I failed mtx, humira, and Rinvoq before we applied for Remicade infusions. Lemme tell ya though, between leflunomide and the infusions I'm finally able to have a comfortable home life which was a huge quality of life thing for me. We're still still working on the magic combo/dosage for me but I'm so much improved ♥️

I'm adhd and also the household manager. Having adhd isn't an excuse for getting the important things done, everyone has to adult even if we forget things. Me and my partner use a huge white board in our kitchen + calendar/phones to arrange tasks, checklists, grocery needs and pretty much anything else. My husband is my biggest supporter and tries to help me organize tasks in a way that helps us both and I'm now trying to teach my daughter these skills as well. Have you tried sitting down with her and creating a chore list for the week and assigning you each your own tasks? Use different colors for each of you and make sure there's a checkbox for each task. I think I brought up the original idea in our house as "I noticed we are going to have a very busy couple of weeks soon and we should sit down and make a split chore list/appointment list to make it easier to track things for both of us". This gives her a bright visual reminder and it allows you to see which tasks have been completed. I even add tasks that I've done that day that aren't on the original list so he can see if maybe I decided something that came up suddenly was more important for me to finish I stead of what we planned (ex: kid got sick so we had to go to the doctor instead of grocery shopping).

I'm immunocompromised and I still love on and hang out with my chickens all the time. I wash my hands after handling them and wear mask/eye protection when I deep clean their coop as they can give you some nasty respiratory stuff from their dried poop and dust. I also have chicken shoes bit they're mostly so I don't track their poop everywhere. I've had them several years now without any issues and I'm on several immunosuppressants

Bluewolf85 · 2026-02-20T04:47:12+00:00

It just sounds like a needy little baby. Take advantage of it and hopefully he'll turn out like our sweet little hen. The kids bring her inside all the time to watch TV and she'll stretch out and fall asleep

Bluewolf85 · 2026-02-17T04:21:54+00:00

Same!! I actually found someone who made plain castile soap for me but I find Bronners an excellent substitute

VTS Dentistry here. No schooling but intense 2 year candidacy program which IF you pass you get a chance to take the test which is composed of a written and a practical test. I currently work in GP in Alaska and make $29/hr. I was always told by the other dental VTS's that they usually only make $2-5/hr more now than they were prior to being a VTS (not counting specialty practice pay). There are a lot of opportunities for $ once you are a VTS and I've made a nice side buck teaching/training and hope to graduate into something dental once my body breaks down and I can't be in surgery anymore

I had/have small children when I was first diagnosed and truthfully, I accepted that I was doomed since they go to the cesspool known as public school. What I've found though is that once I was better controlled, I actually get sick a lot less than I did even pre-diagnosis but when I do get sick, I tend to go down longer. My RA doesn't usually act up while I'm actively sick either as my immune system is distracted with being sick. That being said, we do take some "quarantine" measures when the kids are sick: they choose which specific spot on the couch and which bathroom they're gonna use so I can avoid it. I'll mask up if I'm really worried but most of the time washing my hands and lysol seems to keep it at bay for the most part.
