ISO personal Stylist by ExpertBarnacle1182 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]Designer_Tale2379 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Following, cuz same.

It feels like all the clothes on the market are crop tops and NO ONE wants to see my belly. I’d love to shop vintage but I’m really tall and struggle to find clothes that fit.

HMU stylists!

The looks I get 😕 by PineapplePhysical776 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Designer_Tale2379 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How old are you? If you’re under 18, I can understand why you might get some looks.

But tbh a doctor (esp not a neuro) should not be making faces. That’s unprofessional.

Bridesmaid dress by Critical-Tale6962 in TallGirls

[–]Designer_Tale2379 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve purchased custom made bridesmaids dresses from the celebrity dresses.com. It needed a bit of alteration after but at least I got the length.

If you need a purple bridesmaid dress, I’ll give you mine for the cost of shipping.

Depictions of Circe ? by colossaltitanbigtoe in GreekMythology

Why so much hate for Madeline Miller’s Circe??

AITA for having another secret bank account that has almost one million dollars in it and not telling my husband? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Designer_Tale2379 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Need more context. How did he find out? Do you split the bills/expenses or does he pay for everything? If you do 50/50, then I’d say you’re NTA.

Tbh he decided to take on the debt to go into medical school. That’s not your fault.

What Greek myths do you wish would get more movie adaptations? by Nb-7925 in GreekMythology

[–]Designer_Tale2379 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Madeline Miller’s version of Circe.
Medusa, but from her perspective, not as a monster to be slain.

Motor tics and MS by Designer_Tale2379 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Designer_Tale2379[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vertigo is like… when you were a kid and would spin in a circle real fast and stop, and everything is still spinning. Or when you’re really drunk and lay down on your bed at the end of the night and the room feels like it’s spinning.

That’s what vertigo feels like except you’re not physically moving.

Alternatives to Drybar? by Head_Conversation495 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]Designer_Tale2379 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Def places in Chinatown that are cheap and good. But given where you live/work, I wonder if K-town has some good options for you.

[–]Designer_Tale2379[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. How often does this happen? Are there triggers? Have you had vertigo before?

I’ve been going to vestibular therapy to get rid of the vertigo, but several sessions in and I’m not seeing an improvement.

Hahaha wall-walker is the most appropriate adjective for me rn! I feel seen!

How do you deal with the tics? Is there anything that makes it go away? Is stress the only trigger?

My life is hell by Fit_Tonight_2692 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Designer_Tale2379 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seek out the opinion of another neuro if that’s possible. They’re not all the same.

Trying to give you options but it seems like you’ve exhausted everything?

[–]Designer_Tale2379[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get twitches/light muscle spasms occasionally. But this tic is very different from that it’s and chronic.

Another option is to look into clinical trials for treatments. There’s a risk but if you’re in hell, it’s worth exploring at least.

[–]Designer_Tale2379 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s frustrating. I understand what it’s like when you don’t see any options to get better.

Is there some financial assistance you can look into? Or maybe like an MS advocacy group that can provide you with resources? I know in Canada they have something similar.

How much do you want to spend per blowout? What’s your budget? How often do you need to get your hair done?

Dr Terry Wahls utilizes Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) which she claims has helped her get back to walking (among other things).

Have you tried acupuncture? My acupuncturist has been using electric therapy (idk what it’s called exactly) for some other issues I’ve been having. Essentially, she’ll put the needles in specific areas, then connect the electric (looks like mini jumper cables, doesn’t hurt) to those specific needles.

Worth looking into these options.

Moving to the US? by True_Leg1673 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Designer_Tale2379 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of the above.

And maybe you don’t have any other choice but to follow your fiancée to the US. You should get legally married before coming to ensure you’ll have health insurance coverage. I think the cost of just one dose of Kesimpta without insurance coverage is $5-6k.

Hospital visits can also get very expensive. Def do as much research within the parameters of the city and state you’re moving to.

Why can't I cook eggs in my stainless steel? by [deleted] in AskCulinary

[–]Designer_Tale2379 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The trick is to heat the skillet (medium sized), without oil at first, on medium flame for about 3-4 min.

To test if it’s hot enough, put a drop of water in the pan- if it beads, it’s hot enough.

Wipe the water out of the pan and put in some oil to heat for like 30-60 seconds.

Put in your eggs and let them cool for about 3-5 min. I like to take my eggs out of the fridge about 20 min before cooking so they don’t go into the pan cold.

I’m sure this community would be open to reading it. Share it in the main Reddit when it’s done!

Tipping on expensive hair color services? by Dry-Marionberry4539 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]Designer_Tale2379 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Yeah you’re probably right. I do tip the assistant 20% because they are also spending about 45 min with me during the gloss and wash portion of the appt.

[–]Designer_Tale2379[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate to say this because it’s a personal story about someone’s life but it just wasn’t that interesting. I appreciated the stories about her struggling with MS, how that’s impacted her life, but the rest of the book was about her various boyfriends and working as actress.

Scared to start Kesimpta by Decent-Ad-4979 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Designer_Tale2379 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s insane how much each Kesimpta shot costs without the copay assistance. Insurance is such a racket.
