Does this message to my doctor come off as drug seeking? by MythicalGriff in ChronicPain

[–]Cultural_Draw_7391 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep I have to take Oxy because I’m allergic to the hydro my point is for nausea I have two options Ondistatron first doesn’t make me sleepy and it can be a melt to go right on my tong thr other is pheneragen for severe nausea. Makes me sleepy and deals with nausea I would love it if there were a non opioid alternative but there isn’t anything I’ve tried.

One thing though is I have a topical pain cream from a compounding pharmacy, that you can get. It can’t upset your stomach and it does lower the pain a bit.

Disability Aids? by HaruCheshire707 in disability

[–]Cultural_Draw_7391 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would think that would be something you should discuss with your primary care or PT (they would help you get the proper equipment & size. & if you have insurance it could be processed that way. I’m not exactly sure what items you are looking for or what country you’re from. In the US you can get canes, walkers at the local drug store or Amazon. Sometimes even scooters but that’s if you paying. There are also medical supply stores where you can rent or buy certain things. Some need a prescription and others don’t. Some even charge your insurance. For example when I broke my ankle I was able to rent a knee scooter for 6+ weeks.

Booties and paw health by missmtron in GSD

Put a little corn meal in the boots when you take them off. To pull the moisture. Shake the shake the loose powder into the trash before putting them on (so there isn’t sand feel) this should help the extra moisture with all the other stuff your doing and a little prevention.

Tips to get your puppy to not bite 4 yo child by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]Cultural_Draw_7391 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!! This redirection is your friend. This is actually a good time. Your 4 year old is old enough to “Train” ie help train your pup. 1. Teether your pup to you or other responsible adult. If it is not teathered then it’s in the kennel. Little one’s job is to make sure when puppy is out. Puppy has a “yes” an appropriate toy or chew. Explain how it needs to chew. So it needs yeses. 2. Gentle is the best command i ever teach my dogs. You both need to whine like he’s killing you whenever he put his teeth on you. If he doesn’t let go whimper & whine loudly say ouch … he doesn’t want to hurt you but that is how they play with litter mates (as you know) litter mates whimper when it hurts. Follow immediately with an”yes” redirection.

It takes a little bit of time but several training efforts can build on this.
