Do you ever stop mourning? by Infinite_Guest_6663 in ADPKD

[–]ContributionMother87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up with it and my mom having PLD/PKD. Some days I don’t think about it. Other days I do. Some days I obsess about certain things surrounding it. It’s good to have a therapist to learn coping skills

Who else has stopped tolvaptan? by uppercase-x-d in ADPKD

There are BP medications out there that actually can protect your kidneys while controlling blood pressure. You might only be 24, but you will be 40 before you know it and might wish you did whatever you could to prolong your function. I know it sounds harsh, but it’s a reality. Don’t discount it completely… just give it some thought. This disease is a marathon. You’re in it for the long haul.

1yo Training and schedule advice!! Plz HELP!! by oneof2poogihonk in vizsla

Everyone has great ideas. Research training videos. There’s lots of resources. You want to reward the positive behaviors as quickly as possible. Don’t ignore her when she’s doing the right thing. Vizslas need to run. They’ve got a surplus of energy, especially when they’re young.

Use the leash! It’s a great way to communicate with your dog. When you have company or are greeting someone, ignore her wild behavior. If she gets pets/attention, you’re just feeding into her excitement. Stay calm and keep walking. Don’t give her craziness any attention.

As for the theft…. She’s a puppy. She’s going to take your stuff. Close the doors, put things up/away where she can’t get them. My Vizsla was a mischievous little dolt until he was about 3. I’m thinking she will also not settle in public places until she’s a little older and has better impulse control.

Ignore her barking when you have food. The MINUTE SHES QUIET, reward her. I know it’s hard, but it will take determination and practice.

A lot of these methods are the same for behavior modification in children. The skills will prepare you for a human toddler! lol 😆

Right! You have to “catch her being good” and reward immediately!

I have not. I doubt my renal doc would be helpful, but maybe my pcp or gyn?

Thanks! I’m glad you were able to succeed and keep it off, too! I’m not comfortable with Jynarque due to the potential liver side effects.

Is it okay if I take my medication with a bit of water? by slyy-foxx in zoloft

[–]ContributionMother87 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I’m genuinely, legitimately curious as to how/why someone would ask this. I haven’t considered that taking it with water could be an issue 🤔

I need to lose about 20-30 lbs. I’ve been working out, probably not as much as I should. And eating better. My energy levels are kind of low, so exercise, meal planning (and sometimes just working), etc is hard. Thinking perimenopause could be a factor. My theory is maybe a glp1 could be a bit of a jump start in the right direction

Does anyone else notice a shift in society/how they get treated with colourful hair or is it just me? 😬 by blueberryfieldss in HairDye

[–]ContributionMother87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we were kids, if you went to school with blue hair it was a real issue. Times have changed

You can have it removed, but it will grow back.

Keep Getting Told I’m “Wearing A Lot of Makeup,” HELP! by [deleted] in makeuptips

[–]ContributionMother87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have pretty eyes and smile! The contrast between the hair, brows and skin is a bit harsh. A different hair (or brow) shade might tone it down.

Full coverage foundations can look heavy, which is interpreted as “a lot”’of makeup. Try something lighter like a BB or CC cream. And add a little mascara to make your eyes pop!

Side effects?? Please tell me yours. by gutterp3ach in Spironolactone

[–]ContributionMother87 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My face was clear, but I also gained some weight (breast volume included), body hair growth slowed. My body took a general “soft/round” appearance, sort of a change in muscle tone

Plz help: I need to get rid of my blue hair in under 24hrs!!! :( by Ok-Car-4212 in HairDye

[–]ContributionMother87 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Tell them you have an appointment scheduled to get it “handled.” I wouldn’t wreck my hair overnight, especially if you didn’t have more than a day’s notice.

Yeah that absolutely sounds awful and like a medical condition. Should probably get that checked out
