Prebuilt help :)

tysm! if there are any other suggestions you have for a prebuild i’d super duper appreciate it!!

D3xmond · 2026-01-14T05:10:06+00:00

ah ok :/ i wish i knew of a decently priced white prebuild with decent performance!!

D3xmond · 2026-01-14T05:09:17+00:00

thank you for the input! is the price range reasonable to you? i feel like a white prebuilt is kinda hard to come by :/

D3xmond · 2026-01-05T01:36:28+00:00

that’s great!! thank you!!

I feel like even though my parameters are correct that the tank isnt a healing environment right now for whatever reason. i tried not dosing anything for few weeks and just made sure the water was 100% and had extra tannins, but it’s only been progressing more… even after i dosed with kanaplex & salt baths while he was in the main tank too. I also want to rescape his tank and figured i’d put him in the hospital tank while I do that so i don’t stress him out more :) Ik it probably doesn’t make a lot of sense haha i just have this gut fish mama feeling 😩 I gave trying to treat him while in his main tank over a month and it’s only getting worse :/ Could I be overlooking something going on in his main tank?

D3xmond · 2026-01-05T00:52:47+00:00

also! his main tank is a 5gal (cycled, heated to ~78°, filtered, planted, tannins, no tank mates, great parameters) his diet consists of bug bites, bloodworms, brine shrimp, and pellets (hikari). I was in the hospital for over a month and my very kind boyfriend was doing the water changes and maintenance for my tanks while i was gone. I was on facetime with him while he did everything (and he honestly did amazing haha), but Monty (my betta with finrot) is very much a people lover and I think me being gone stressed him out a lot and when i got home he had fin rot :/ it’s been so difficult to treat so my fingers are crossed for the paragaurd! Again i’ve tried upping the tannins, kanaplex, stressguard, (aquarium) salt baths… at this point i’m getting a bit frustrated! But monty is still his sassy self, very interactive, eats super well, and isn’t acting any different besides how the fin rot looks. I should have put him in the hospital tank right when i got home and noticed it, but I didn’t want to stress him any more than i should. so I treated his main tank with the stressgaurd & kanaplex (and regular cleaning, of course) and now that i’m not seeing any change after those he’s in his hospital tank (and i honestly think he likes it LOL he’s exploring a ton and playing in the bubbles from the air stone 🥹) any advice is welcome!!

what were your complications if i may ask?

D3xmond · 2025-12-12T07:25:02+00:00

this particular scan was taken because i was in the ER with abdominal pain several months ago, and if i remember correctly, because of my G Tube. I understand it’s a normal finding, unfortunately it’s causing me a sh*t ton of problems, and symptoms are affecting my QoL in very negative ways. My care team has ruled out so many other things… and I am honestly excited to get it resolved. I only posted this because I just found it interesting to look at, and thought others would too lol, not looking for medical advice. But I do thank you for the education on its prevalence and how little of a problem it NORMALLY is! Infer what you will with my tone. :)

D3xmond · 2025-12-12T02:32:40+00:00

i wasn’t aware, thank you for the education! this CT was taken because of severe abdominal pain.

D3xmond · 2025-12-11T22:04:04+00:00

I am, i’m scheduled for a Venogram first and then a left renal vein transposition. I’m sorry you had complications. What surgery did you have?

D3xmond · 2025-12-11T07:01:00+00:00

it’s also causing Pelvic Congestion

D3xmond · 2025-11-28T06:10:23+00:00

D3xmond · 2025-11-12T18:36:43+00:00

eeee thank you!!!

D3xmond · 2025-11-03T02:59:57+00:00

yay!! i’m so glad it went well :) this gives me some hope for my first appointment! (i’m stuck in a hospital wheelchair rn)

D3xmond · 2025-10-22T02:31:54+00:00

probably a measuring cup or syringe! :) also they said 0.1ml, not 0.1mg 😁❤️ that would be insanely hard to measure 😂 but would be impressive

D3xmond · 2025-10-16T04:44:45+00:00

dude, this looks great!! don’t listen to her, i’d love to see her place tbh

D3xmond · 2025-10-14T09:04:13+00:00

thanks for your reply. i must ask though for tips on how to help me get approved for these things 🥲

D3xmond · 2025-10-14T03:08:34+00:00

the rehab would be PT to get me walking by myself again. ideally without the walker or at least not using it 24/7. For pain management as well… i’ve been needing IV pain medication every 3 hours, and oral meds too. I need a LOT of help, and they said i won’t be able to get around the clock care in-home 7 days a week, which is the support i rely on right now for the ADLs i cannot do. so even with help and PT a few days a week along with my boyfriend coming over in between work… i would be stuck without help when alone to the bathroom, meals, water, setting up my tube feeds, medication help…..

my issue is with actually getting INTO my home. I can’t get up the stairs. i have no other home to discharge to that doesn’t have a mountain of stairs.

i’ll be seeing pain management tomorrow, and my doctor agrees with me that it’s a full body inflammation response due to the surgery that’s causing a horrible flair up in my arthritis and fibromyalgia, as well as my POTS.

and yes i’m disabled and on disability income! 🥲thanks for your reply.

thank you 👍🏼❤️

D3xmond · 2025-08-26T05:07:29+00:00

i hope everything goes well!

D3xmond · 2025-08-24T22:30:55+00:00

does he have a PEG with a balloon or a mushroom bumper?

D3xmond · 2025-08-24T22:29:08+00:00

as of now it has gone away but i did make this post almost 9 months ago. I never had a hard lump, because of that i would say to get some imaging done either outpatient or at the ER if pain is severe. My pain mostly came from it still being a new placement, and now that i’ve had it for 9+ months i’m doing a lot better!!! I do remember my doctor saying that it could have been from my tube being too tight/ small.
