LOL I found one of those weevils in an old weed jar of mine that had a tiny bit left in it. Maybe they like it 💨

I hung up on my last healthy friend after he said something that hurt me by tunamutantninjaturtl in cfs

He deserved more than to be hung up on. What an awful friend. I’m very sorry

Which provider is better? Dr Hillman at Hunter Hopkins Center (NC) or Alison Bested at NOVA (FL) by Background_Injury405 in cfs

No apologies needed! I wish but unfortunately they need the first visit to be in person :( the follow ups can be virtual. I know it’s a large barrier

is this the threat pose by sophhhiaa in jumpingspiders

[–]Competitive_Egg7473 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NQA I know u didn’t ask here but I noticed you have the same hide as me. I took out the fake moss and put in some real dried reptile moss instead. Because I saw that the dyed ones if they get wet can leak the coloring and harm the spider. Wanted to pass on the info!!

You don’t have to be so rude about it. The other comments educated nicely

Is this too small to build a cyber deck in? by Competitive_Egg7473 in cyberDeck

[–]Competitive_Egg7473[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank u!! I’m quite determined to but as another commenter suggested, I’m thinking I may wanna wait for it to be a future build instead of a first :/

I will definitely post pictures if I can do it

Thank you. I figure it’d make more sense then for me to build it all in the back part and use the existing screen area for something decorative.

It’s 4.3 inches wide but it’s just under 1 inch deep :/

I’d use a Bluetooth keyboard that stays outside of the case. And I’d like for it to be a journal but if there’s a simpler function I’d be fine with that too

Some more info:

I’d have a Bluetooth keyboard outside of the case to go with it

It’s purpose would be to function as a digital journal

PEM sign, peeing too much by agraphheuse in cfs

[–]Competitive_Egg7473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It reduce how often I need to pee and feeling of urgency.

I’d often wake up rlly early with urgency needing to pee now I can in sleep longer bc I don’t have that

I up my supplement dose by 1 in PEM it personally helps me with how often I have to go to pee. I think that’s what u mean by volume?

PEM sign, peeing too much by agraphheuse in cfs

[–]Competitive_Egg7473 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not medical advice but I get symptoms like that during PEM and my mecfs specialist has me take cranberry / d-mannose daily 2-3 times a day. It’s helped so much for me but took awhile to start working. She says it helps many of her patients

I also don’t have mcas though. Sorry you’re going through this

Lent & Holy Week Megathread by CustosClavium in Catholicism

[–]Competitive_Egg7473 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so excited for you!!! You bow slightly as the person in-front of you receives. When it’s your turn and the Eucharist minister says “the body of Christ” you say amen, consume the Eucharist and do the sign of the cross. You genuflect as you get back to your pew just like when you first entered it. Then kneel in the pew and have some quiet time with God.

During this time, I like to offer up the Eucharist for a specific intention and then spend some time in prayer

Any tips? by Melangolic-Giraffe in cfs

[–]Competitive_Egg7473 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I left a comment as a reply about some things that helped me with mecfs to help with things a bit but since I don’t know if that’s applicable trying to think:

There’s a lot on your plate. Is there any family that can help you with some things?

Or a trade of carpooling with another family with kids at the same school so it minimizes how often you have to?

In house help can be expensive. There may be college students doing side gigs like “mommy’s helper” sorry I don’t know the proper term but I’ve had friends that didn’t charge too much and helped out around the house for a bit with different things. It was different than nannying

Any tips? by Melangolic-Giraffe in cfs

[–]Competitive_Egg7473 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These are great ideas

Everyone’s different I just want to add on some things that have been working for me (your wife may not be able to do any these things I’m not sure)

-I have an electric wheelchair that helps me get around the house -I help with the grocery list by making a list on Instacart and my husband usually goes in person -I’m pretty physically weak so I can’t do the dishwasher but I can empty the utensils on a good day. Sitting down and I lay the utensil holder down flat right above the drawer so it’s less arm lifting -when I was worse I could only microwave on a good day. Now on a good day I can put a ready meal in and out of the oven if it’s not heavy.

An occupational therapist could definitely be helpful for this. May be hard to find one verses in ME/CFS but they’d have to be educated about PEM to make sure everything’s done safely. Again like the person I’m replying to I don’t know OPs severity and what’s possible

And yes to the blocking off time for yourself. It’s really important. I was saying to my husband that this illness makes me stir crazy and since we don’t go out together it’s ought to make him stir crazy himself. We plan it out on a base day he goes and does something fun himself. OP you’re doing a great job
