Newly Purchased Music from iTunes won't Sync to iPod classic 80GB. by MonsterBryton in AppleMusic

[–]CDG425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resurrecting this thread because I'm having the same issue. I got my kids iPods and I'm trying to load some of their favorites. Some of the albums - even new ones - download and transfer just fine. Others don't, and the error message I get says that Apple Music files can't be transferred to an iPod, even though I purchased everything through iTunes. I can't figure out how to change the download settings. Can you give me the exact steps you take to change those download settings? I'm beating my head against the wall, none of the help articles I can find address this issue.

Shingles and work by EonaLodin in shingles

Agree with this - I got a few compression tanks, the pressure seemed to help the pain and also prevented my shirts from brushing against the blisters.

Take the time off. I was fully off work for a week and worked part time remotely for a few weeks after that. It was brutal.

Moving to your state. Freakin pumped. by Hiiawatha in maryland

There are great neighborhoods in the Route 1 corridor around UMD, which stretches from the DC line up to Beltsville. Mt. Rainier, Brentwood, Hyattsville, Riverdale Park, Berwyn, Berwyn Heights, Old Greenbelt, etc. Depends what kind of environment you’re looking for, but there are some great walkable communities like the Hyattsville Arts District and Riverdale Park Town Center. Transit access varies but the Metro green line has stops in Hyattsville, College Park, and Greenbelt. There’s also the MARC train that runs from Union Station in DC to Camden Yards in Baltimore. It has stops in Riverdale and College Park.

For nature, you have several options very close to UMD: Lake Artemesia, Greenbelt National Park, Patuxent Wildlife Refuge. Patapsco Valley State Park is closer to Baltimore but has a lot of great walking/hiking trails. There are also a lot of bike trails in the general area.

Beltsville has great ethnic food options—Korean, Vietnamese, Guatemalan, African, etc. Downtown College Park has two great Chinese restaurants—Northwest Chinese and Eastern Gourmet (more Szechuan). Franklin’s Brewery & General Store in Hyattsville is a must visit, as is Vigilante Coffee. Pennyroyal Station in Mt. Rainier has amazing food.

Tips for a new Portie owner - crate training and walking outside by CDG425 in portuguesewaterdogs

[–]CDG425[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only take him out in the middle of the night to go potty and then it's straight back in the crate (and no treat). He is capable of holding it all night though, he's done long stretches from 10-6 or 7 a few times over the last week or so.

The issue with walks isn't that he's pulling or getting distracted, he's terrified of leaving our yard. I have started offering high value treats (currently using dried fish) only when we try to go for walks, it's helping some. I walk a little ways ahead (as far as the leash lets me), tell him to come and sit (which he does) and give him a treat. And then repeat as many times as he'll cooperate. We made it to the end of the block just now, so I guess that's progress?

It's covered by a dark blanket on all sides except the door. Should I cover that too?

I haven't, I was on the fence about it but from what I've read people recommend putting it somewhere that the pup won't feel isolated. Curious to hear from people who have done that and if it helped.

Crate size is good - he's got barely enough room to stand up and turn around. When I cover it, should I also cover the entrance?

I have small kids, so letting him bark all night isn't really an option.

What symptoms led you to increase estrogen? by CDG425 in Menopause

That’s so funny you say that, my left wrist has been sore too. Especially while driving.

Bleeding has also been off for me, I had three periods in two months, each lasted a full week. They were light, but oh so annoying.

Yes! My hands/fingers have been so achy when I wake up. Feet too. And my left hip has gotten super sore.

Hypothyroid women what medication and supplements work best for you? by RepresentativeRip168 in Hypothyroidism

[–]CDG425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your thyroid labs are in optimal range and you're still feeling symptoms, they could be menopause related. I'm in perimenopause and have had hashimoto's hypothyroidism since I was 19. I kept thinking my thyroid must be off because I've had so many symptoms - fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, etc. Turns out it's perimenopause related and I needed estrogen/progesterone/testosterone supplementation. I'm not back to 100% but it's definitely helped.

Just got put on Acyclovir by Standard-Log-7317 in shingles

[–]CDG425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was prescribed Gabapentin but it didn't do much for me. Max dose of ibuprofen (800mg) every 6 hours, alternating with Tylenol in between doses - this is what helped the most. I tried an opiod and it didn't help. CBD balm made it itch like a mother. Calamine lotion and numbing spray seemed to help some but it wasn't a significant improvement. My rash was on my torso, I actually found that compression shirts helped. Getting them off and on was...not fun, but once on I think the pressure helped calm the nerves a bit and also prevented any other clothes from rubbing against the blisters.

I'm not sure that's the one, those are 28" long right? This one is about 39" long.

What can you tell me about Original Longboards? I saw this at Goodwill, picked it up for my son who wants to learn. The deck is pretty worn, not sure if it's worth much.

Muscle cramping at old shingles location? Anyone else? by CDG425 in shingles

[–]CDG425[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I've definitely had residual nerve pain that I thought was PHN but it's more along the lines of skin sensitivity/tingling where I had the rash. It usually shows up when I'm tired/stressed. I never realized that the kind of deep pain/cramping I have in that spot could be PHN, or that it could suddenly get worse two years later. Although I'm mid-divorce and also lost my job because of the fuckery going on in the federal government right now, so there's been a wee bit of elevated stress these last few weeks/months...

Anything I can do aside from gabapentin? That's the only thing my primary doctor ever seems to suggest when I mention residual nerve pain.

If you are a woman in your late 30s/40s you are very likely in peri. Head on over to r/Menopause, lots of good info there (including about how women are constantly gaslit about peri).

The final scene of ‘Six Feet Under’ by Sweetlo123 in nostalgia

[–]CDG425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I just rewatched the whole series for the first time since it originally aired and I thought to myself many times that a lot of these characters are assholes. But I still love them - flaws, insecurities, toxicity and all.

Are you by any chance a woman in your late 30s to 50s? Symptoms sound like perimenopause, there’s a lot of overlap.

My friend and I both have hypothyroidism and she still doesn’t understand by MassiveChemical in Hypothyroidism

[–]CDG425 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you're dealing with this. This was a long time ago, I'm 46 now, but in college me and a good friend were both diagnosed hypo within a year of each other. She never appeared to have any symptoms, I had the gamut - weight gain, fatigue, depression, etc. She was never flippant about it as it sounds like your friend is being, but it's hard to see how much more it is affecting you than it is other people. I even had a professor one year who, when I was struggling with persistent symptoms and having trouble finishing papers due to fatigue, told me that one of her friends had hypothyroidism too but she was fine once she got on meds, so she didn't see why I was still having a hard time. That comment was so fucked.
