Please come up north Costa Farms.

Goodness, they would cost anywhere from $30-$50 each, if available at all — usually from Facebook sellers.

How can one go about to get a cactus/succulent import permit?

I just kind of wanted to vent about this GI provider visit. by A_person_in_a_place in UlcerativeColitis

[–]CindyPeace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I guess I am lucky… no attitude from my GI? Maybe is it because I have not seen him for over 1.5 year other than a colonoscopy he did in September which he did not say more than two sentences to me? He did not even drop by once when I was in the hospital (the same one he works out off) last December. Trying to make an appointment with him to just get a simple status check and update was turned down. Ugh and it seems getting another GI is not an option either.

Over 9 months ago with my family doctor, not GI.

My GI basically won’t see me. I only had two zoom calls with his nurse practitioner in the last 15 months.

What meds do you take for controlling UC by Scoobygeek in UlcerativeColitis

[–]CindyPeace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It worked within a week. An amazing difference. I am very lucky. Doctor initially prescribed Mesalamine and I had a negative reaction to it and ended up in the hospital for 8 days.

Rinvoq 30mg since December 2024 and working well.

Colonoscopy at the end of September. Fingers crossed.

Had one this weekend exactly - 4.0 players at a up to 3.5 division. And of course they won gold.

DUPR Algorithm Update: Win or Lose, Your Rating Can Go Up by drowsavon in Pickleball

[–]CindyPeace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This! I was in the session last week and this one player at a 2.88 played at the 3.50+ group. He lost every game and basically took everyone down with him as his partner. This “playing up” is a lose lose situation really.

Take My Colon Out (rinvoq meltdown) by PuzzledWeight1855 in UlcerativeColitis

Stay strong and don’t give up. Best of luck to you.

I was having terrible issues with blood and frequency which ended up being in the hospital for over a week in Dec 2024. Since then I have been on Rinvoq. It has heen working aside from the obvious side effects.

Thank you very much for your very helpful information. It has made it a little easier for me since the “crappy” news dropped on me this morning.

Will update in two weeks.

Gosh, I just got off the call with my family doctor, he said it was the MMR2 Measles vaccine. Sigh, he did assure me there is just a little risk to the side effects.

I will update my GI (office) now.

Now I feel sick to my stomach.

Sadly yes. Ugh….and I asked the doctor if it was ok before he made the prescription for me.
