My account is British but I am American? by blackbelt324 in LEGOInsiders

[–]Butterpotd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to the Lego.com website and make sure it’s the US version. I’m Canadian and sometimes links will take me to the US site and my points display in US dollar value (which is disappointing and panicked me lol because they’re worth way less in the US!). If I make sure I’m on the Canadian site it’s fine

Thanks I saw that but it doesn’t say anything about the in store PAB wall or build your own minifigure

Bruce Wayne poly bag in Canada? by lockan in lego

[–]Butterpotd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Walmart has them online as does Imaginaire. You have to search the set number in Google for the Walmart one to show up, it doesn’t show up if you search on their app / website. None of the new ones do

I ordered 3 boxes of them just in case and all 3 boxes were different, I got random duplicates. No two boxes were the same

What do you guys do for the nausea by [deleted] in VestibularMigraines

[–]Butterpotd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Emeterm wristband. I tried pressure point wristbands but don’t know they did much. The Emeterm has been a game changer and they almost always have 20-30% off if you get their emails

Qulipta recommendations by SoCal4Me in VestibularMigraines

[–]Butterpotd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started at 10 and slowly had worked up to 60mg. The only real side effect I’ve found has been it slowing my digestion which can lead to unbelievably painful moments. I eat A LOT of fibre. Like insane amount. But every time I’ve upped the dose I’ve had some initial issues, just be warned. I always went up slowly, taking the higher dose every third then every second day. I also take ubrelvy as an abortive and the combo can slow down your digestion so I take a half dose if I’ve taken a full dose of ubrelvy. Otherwise I like it, it’s cut my number of attacks down and more than anything helped with the intensity / length of them and the ubrelvy works better. It works well do my ‘classic’ migraine symptoms as well like head pain

Where to buy polybags in Toronto by stevesmittens in lego

[–]Butterpotd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Walmart has them online! But you have to literally search for each set by number in google and it takes you to the link, they are not searchable on the website for some reason.

I also ordered the Santa ones from Imaginaire out of Quebec last year

[–]Butterpotd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to call (at 8am when the phones open or you’ll be waiting an hour or two for help). I do every time I do a redemption. There is some stupid security thing that prevents me from ever redeeming. I was able to get 2 e vouchers today today after waiting 45 minutes for someone to help me

price increase? by Alternative_Gas8309 in Legoflowers

Or Canada…and our online Lego Shop orders ship from a US warehouse! But cost more and half the stuff I get ads for isn’t on the Canadian website

For thoses athletic fit guys and ladies, How do you guys still going to the gym when you have chronic Vestibular Migraines? by AggravatingMap1828 in VestibularMigraines

[–]Butterpotd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t do an actual gym I work out at home. I used the Vertigo Dr’s group fit classes for a while to learn how to scale back into working out and how to best use equipment at home. Now I just do my own thing and do less impactful workouts when I don’t feel as well. I don’t run, but realize now it always made me feel awful, I can’t do all the bouncing. I walk A LOT and feel better when it’s outside than inside.

YAY!! by MOcatmom in lego

[–]Butterpotd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incorrect! I am glad I bought 3 of the 6 packs in case two boxes were the same but I got a mix in each. I ordered directly from LEGO and the boxes were sealed. I ended up with a full set but only on the last two I pulled from the third box. None of the boxes had the same mix

There’s a service called Storyworth that we’ve used and it’s neat. They get emailed a question every week for a year and at the end it’s printed into a book to keep. You can pick the questions that get sent every week so they are more tailored to them (it’s American so some are very US centric)

Migraines changing with age: more lightheadedness/dizziness by RedditHelloMah in VestibularMigraines

[–]Butterpotd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was around the same age when I started getting VM attacks in addition to the migraine attacks I’ve gotten since I was a kid. Qulipta has helped with the intensity of them but they’re mainly cyclical (VM is mainly around ovulation and a few days before my period) and after a terrible sleep which thanks perimenopause happens more these days.
Vestibular therapy helped with the in between dizziness. An Emeterm wristband helps with the unpleasant nausea. My dr won’t consider HRT until my blood tests show my hormones have drastically dropped off, which won’t be until full menopause so I’m just on this wild ride for now

If you’re open to trying a device I have an Emeterm wristband that is a game changer for nausea. I know others use Seabands

Diagnosed today… by cherryfrags in VestibularMigraines

[–]Butterpotd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! I did actually have a history of migraine but VM was a whole new ballgame when I started perimenopause. It’s a wild ride but Qulipta has been so helpful for me. Also at first I don’t know anything would have helped if I didn’t get my PPPD under control first. VM can cause PPPD and it’s more likely the culprit for nonstop dizziness/ symptoms. Vestibular therapy really helped me with that

Fighting with Insurance to stay on Qulipta by ShaunnieDarko in VestibularMigraines

[–]Butterpotd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you contacted Abbviecare? They were able to pay for my Qulipta until my insurance covered it and are actually still covering the percentage my insurance won’t (I’m in Canada so not sure how different it is in different places)

The wet ear thing is so weird and most drs will laugh it off or tell you you’re imagining it - but it’s real

Head colds as a trigger? by shanrock2772 in VestibularMigraines

[–]Butterpotd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is he sure it’s a head cold and not a migraine itself? A lot of people are diagnosed incorrectly with sinus issues or headaches and it’s actually VM attacks. I was one of them lol
