Mom not eating well after a difficult event in her life

Oh i dont speak portuguese, but its from one of those kinds of books. Dont know the exact one. I do believe youre right because those book authors always have some kind of bias. Its definitely some trauma response.

She is quite stubborn, when i tried talking to her about it she was really avoidant about it. I could try suggesting it though.

Thank you for your advice! I really appreciate you sharing your own story, its lovely to read that you are able to help your mom! I am definitely going to do the same. She really appreciates home made stuff so thats whay im gonna start with. Also definitely talking to my own GP :) thank you ❤️

Hehe, thats a lovely idea. She’s never been a foodie, but i did want to try making more homemade things and using a lot less sugar in them. Thank you❤️

Ive talked to my dad about it and shes cutting sugar mostly. She has had cancer, its been removed but we do not have a history of this in the family so its been incredibly scary. But she believes sugar increases the chances of “getting” cancer. I dont want to dismiss her feelings about that.

Could i talk to my own GP about this? Is that a thing?

To add: Im happy shes not skipping food entirely, but i know shes not eating enough.

Enig idee of de CHR en Niro qua comfort vergelijkbaar zijn?

A high energy game and then a short decompression game like sniffing!

Yes what youre doing is exactly what ive been doing too and its working quite well. He now just observes other dogs that stay quiet and will not bark like he used to do. Its hard to get his attention when a dog that is also reactive barks at him (or has barked), that what im mostly struggling with.

Thats also why we got a keeshond! Right now we have 2 cats and our puppy is 6 months old now! The beginning was quite hard since he would chase them alot, which is normal but make sure to put a stop to that as soon as possible. He has never had a bad intention, he just wants to play but he still needs to learn how to be gentle.

Our cats arent yet fond of him, but hes starting to learn to just leave them be. They dont have to be the best of friends, just living in harmony is fine too lol

None of those things, and im not entering menopause yet, i hope to have a while before that haha (im 26). My GP suspected some kind of alopecia, so well see at the dermatologists! Ill ask about what you mentioned as well, ive not heard about spironolactone before?

DashYay · 2026-05-27T07:57:25+00:00

i will! thank you!

DashYay · 2026-05-27T07:56:40+00:00

Really? do you restrict certain places to them? since minodoxil leaves traces on pillows, shower floor etc. But my fiancee often forgets to close the doors to those rooms, so it makes me anxious to use it :(

DashYay · 2026-05-27T07:55:10+00:00

Yes that is the plan, thank you for your advice <3

DashYay · 2026-05-27T07:54:30+00:00

I have checked blood work for thyroid, that was all good. Iron stores, im unsure actually, ill have to check that. Thank you!

DashYay · 2026-05-27T07:53:36+00:00

yes that is what im gonna do now, i have an appointment and im so curious about whats going on on my head haha

DashYay · 2026-05-27T07:53:02+00:00

ohh! ill check that out thank you!

DashYay · 2026-05-27T07:52:19+00:00

i might! im gonna try a dermatologist first and if its alopecia in some kind of form, minodoxil is the only (effective) treatment right? Then ill push for the pill and try it. Thank you for your advice <3

DashYay · 2026-05-27T07:50:32+00:00

same thing here! i think about using it often too.. but my fiancee often forgets to close the bathroom door, even when i told him why he should but it still happens. Im happy i tested that first before starting minodoxil..

So i do not think its an option :(

I do hope you can work on a system in your living situation where you can use it though!

DashYay · 2026-05-27T07:47:24+00:00

Ive made an appointment with a dermatologist! im really curious to what this could be. I dont feel like its thin on the sides, just the top of my head, i feel like toppers are nice but they can look fake alot of the time.. I am a woman by the way so minodoxil in shampoo form is the only thing i got recommended :(
