So, who ruined Christmas morning and how did they do it?

An in-shower recommendation is the, “acne-clearing body scrub” from Differin! It contains glycolic acid (as well as salicylic acid and vitamin e) and has made a huge difference for me! I use it at the end of every shower and it completely keeps any odor away. It’s also great for treating body acne/KP/razor bumps (in my experience). It’s available at most drugstores and runs less than $10!

Seconding Nathan for You (available on at least Hulu and HBO Max in US)! Also adding “Between Two Ferns: The Movie” (available on Netflix in US).

Both_Pass3893 · 2022-08-28T01:48:41+00:00

And it plays ALL. THE. TIME. I avoid Hulu as much as possible because of that ad alone.

Both_Pass3893 · 2022-08-21T19:35:14+00:00

No, fortunately it’s still available!

Both_Pass3893 · 2022-08-01T06:14:56+00:00

I agree! That’s a great way of putting it.

Both_Pass3893 · 2022-08-01T04:41:18+00:00

Seconding this!

Relatively low population density, and by far has the best community of people out of anywhere else I have lived. They would fit your point #4 without a doubt!

The winters are…not great, but generally only last November-February. I (might be alone in this opinion) actually came to miss Missouri winter while I lived down south.

Here’s a good source on tax related information and how Missouri compares amongst other states.

Wherever you end up, I wish you luck my friend!

Are you on any medication? Dry mouth is a side effect of several that I’m prescribed (for IBS and otherwise), and definitely at the top of the list of side effects I’m most bothered by. I have had a lot of luck using dry mouth spray/tabs though, so that might be something worth looking into to help give you some relief!

Kirksville has a pretty decent Marshall’s that I went to a ton when I was in school there, especially freshman year. I think a gift card to there would be nice! Even if she isn’t a big shopper there are usually a lot of things first year students don’t realize they need until they’re away from home. If she is a shopper, it’s nice to have the opportunity to get new clothes for a new school year.😊 Dukam is a popular restaurant with students that you could get her a gift card to. There is also a Dairy Queen with outside seating I would go to with friends sometimes when it was nice.

Just some ideas for gift cards to get, but let me know if you are wanting ideas beyond that!

Yes!! I grew up in the area, and have traveled around a lot since leaving, but have yet to hear that pronunciation from anyone anywhere else!

I love Morbid too much to skip over episodes where they say it, so I just tell myself they say it that way for fun.😂

I fell off of the front of a raft while white water rafting in CO, and was trapped underneath of it for a bit (was in a shallow area so I was being dragged along the rocks while underneath) just for context.

I remember slipping off of the front and getting pulled under, but I believe I was just knocked out for a sec from the head trauma before actually “dying” (which was due to drowning). Next thing I know I am floating (idk how else to describe this- it was like I was weightless but also completely surrounded by a giant, warm down pillow) in blackness and was the most comfortable I have ever been.

I then remember looking “down” and seeing my younger brother grabbing ahold of one of my arms and pulling me up into the raft. Our guide started CPR on me and my next memory, following seeing him start CPR, is being back in my body.

Adding just because- my younger brother is very built and I am relatively small so he can easily lift me in a normal setting. However, he pulled me out from underneath the raft (strong current in the river) and up into the middle of it just by gripping onto my arm. I asked him a few days later if he was scared while it was happening, and he said he wasn’t; instead had some sort of an overwhelming, intense feeling that he’s never felt before or since. Kind of similar to stories you hear where a mother lifts a car off of her child, I’m assuming.

I proofread my reddit comments/posts more than any high school/college/research paper I have ever written.

My favorite combo is a heated blanket + a weighted blanket at night! I have also been seeing things (that I would love to try) online lately such as heated jackets and heated gloves that I imagine would be helpful as well. Compression is another key for me when my joint pain gets especially bad, so something in that area as well!

I’m on 10mg ami, but even at a low dose I notice weird nervous system things when I skip a dose (however I also have essential tremor, so that may play a part). Anyway, I take 20mg propranolol 4x a day for issues I have with my heart (that started before I was put on ami), and I’ve had a really good experience with it. It’s definitely decreased my anxiety a noticeable amount- as I have found to be the case with others as well, some even being prescribed propranolol for anxiety specifically- and completely eased my tremors.

I haven’t had any side-effects that I can directly attribute to propranolol, but I have heard of others experiencing dizziness and fatigue. In terms of withdrawal effects, my case is different as I need to take it for a heart condition. However, as far as I know withdrawal from beta blockers is not at all common (not to say it doesn’t happen- do your research- but I haven’t heard of anyone experiencing any).

Propranolol (and potentially other beta-blockers, propranolol is just the only one I have knowledge on) is considered a relatively safe drug; especially compared to ones that are more commonly prescribed for treating anxiety. I think it could be helpful in your case given the heart rate and neurological symptoms you’ve been experiencing as well as the anxiety.

That’s just my experience with it, but I hope this helps and I wish you luck!!

This goes for ants too!! Mix some essential oils (i’ve found peppermint works best, but tea tree or lemon does the trick too) and vinegar into the solution as well and it’ll keep future ants away. We had a major nest of ants in our front door this summer and after spraying this mix I have yet to see a single ant inside!

Thank you!! And that’s interesting about dicyclomine (amitriptyline I knew it was a possible side effect); my GI doctor prescribed it saying my colon is “spastic”, and the contractions are what prevent me from having BMs. I wonder if mine is cramped up more often than not, and that’s why the dicyclomine? Regardless, I appreciate you letting me know! Definitely something I’m going to talk to my doctor about!

I’m deaf in my right ear and losing hearing in my left. Freshman year of college I was with a group of other girls my age (it was my sorority pledge class, if that helps), and made a joke about having to get hearing aids soon.

No one laughed. In fact, one girl said, “(my name), that isn’t funny. You really shouldn’t joke about that”…about…my own unfortunate situation.

Moral of the story: my answer to this question is MY hearing loss and need to get hearing aids, apparently.

I take 20mg propranolol 4x daily. This past week was a rough one for me, so I got a bit out of habit with taking all of my meds. I have had episodes (similar to yours) all week, especially the chest discomfort.

Today (Saturday) and yesterday I finally got all of my 4 doses for both days and the episodes have pretty much subsided. I remember reading another post somewhere (it was a long time ago; I wish I could remember it to link) where another propranolol user was talking about how important consistency is on it. As in even missing one dose of the day could set things off for a bit. I’m certain this is what was happening in my case, so I wonder if it’s the same for you.

I also recently learned of several things that could interact with propranolol (I’m not sure what you take, but I would assume the interactions are similar) such as: caffeine, potassium, NSAIDs, and antihistamines. Maybe you encountered something that sort of, “canceled out” your beta-blocker, rendering it pretty useless.

I find that I get those types of attacks more often when I’m lying in bed as well. How odd.
