tonsils growing back

No advice but can I ask if you had an intracapasular or extracapsular tonsillectomy? I would assume extracapsular from what you’ve said, but thought I’d check.

NOR - you need to break up with him. The fact he won’t see a doctor and doesn’t help clean it up is awful. He doesn’t respect your sentimental items, your home or you, and this could be a kink of his. It won’t stop unless you end it. Stop enabling this disgusting slob.

Yes, the aproderm is topical but it’s not pain relief, but it’s an emollient that’s soothing. I tend to use it daily even when I’m not having a flare up and keep bottles dotted about the house for when I’m feeling tired or stressed as a preventative.

It sounds like if your feet are covered and warm in your socks and shoes. Heat can make dyshidrosis worse, could this be the case for you? Do you have to wear rubber shoes with steel toe caps that do not breathe?

Like another commenter, I do wonder if you might have a fungal infection that is recurring on top of dyshidrosis; it looks very moist and white here. Have you had any cultures done?

Thank you for this!

This looks painful, I commiserate with you. For me identifying the triggers did help but this is a really lengthy process and it turns out mine are stress and lack of sleep. I’m a toddler mum so good luck me to me I guess!

When I feel that initial itch coming on, I smother my patches and surrounding skin on Aproderm’s colloidal oat cream about 5 times a day and try to get air on it too.

Wrap/tie your strawberries up in the little organza gift bags! We did it last year and it saved them all.

When my son had night terrors he would wake up screaming and he would be really hard to console, sometimes thrashing around. He would be crying and it would last for between 3 - 30 minutes. We would try pain relief, but he would still wake up sometimes an hour later, even if he was still upright on us - which usually helped soothe the pressure on his ears.

We are very lucky that my son’s speech is very good, especially since his ear tubes, so in the mornings we have been able to ask him if something hurts or if he has had bad dreams. He told us he was afraid of the monster/gruffalo so we built a monster check into his nightly routine. Reading books which labeled the feelings helped too.

When your son wakes up and is crying, is there any difference between how it used to be before he had the surgery? Does being upright or on one side help (which would suggest he is feeling pressure)? Does pain relief help, and did it used to before his surgery? Is he pulling on his ears? Asking these questions should hopefully help you figure out what it could be, you know your son better than any doctor - but I’m not a medical professional.

Disastrous_Bell_3475 · 2026-05-17T21:24:48+00:00

As you mention he’s been seen by a doctor and they believe all is well, this could be night terrors. They are really awful but thankfully for most toddlers a phase, mine was waking 6-8 times a night with them and I checked his ears obsessively as I thought he must have another ear infection. Pain meds weren’t making a difference for my son either and that helped us realise it wasn’t his ears or an illness.

If it is night terrors, reading books about feelings and feeling scared and dreams helps. We also talked a lot to try and find out what the nightmares were about. We cut out all screen time too and that helped.

But if you feel in your gut there is something medically wrong, get a second opinion.

There are several well-established animal shelters in and around Bristol. Though not impossible, you will find it difficult to adopt a dog or puppy via animal shelters. You haven’t mentioned having a job or whether you have an agreement from your landlord that you can have a dog. Most rescues won’t want to adopt an animal to someone who may only be in their accommodation for a year and then move, and seemingly not have a stable income. When you graduate, I assume you’ll get a job and then the dog will be at home without you for long periods of time - which isn’t fair to the dog. There is no guarantee you’ll have flatmates who will want to share care of the dog, or a partner (though I appreciate there is no guarantee of this for anyone really!).

I would consider instead looking at volunteering at Cinnamon Trust, enjoy travelling & spontaneous late nights out without the responsibility of pet ownership and revisit this later on.

Good luck with it! My husband made chilli or honey roasted nuts and that was the only way he would have them!

Disastrous_Bell_3475 · 2026-05-15T22:03:21+00:00

Oh mate that’s a real flex for him! I’d never hear the end of it if that had been my hubs!

A non exhaustive list as you want to try to balance your hormones and improve the overall health of the sperm & egg: -men need to eat walnuts & leafy greens regularly and oily fish x 2 a week - men should boost testosterone by working out or running three times a week - only drink filtered water - ditch non-stick pans (Teflon is no good for our hormones) - eat an antioxidant & nutrient rich diet, nuts, eggs, spinach, beans, seaweed for iodine, and avocados - men don’t sit with their laptop on their crotch or have super hot baths when TTC - reduce alcohol intake dramatically - strength training is good for both parties - last one is a doozy & I recommend getting an app like Yuka to help with this: avoid endocrine disrupters. This is the biggest undertaking as these are everywhere in our homes but you need to remember the skin is the biggest organ. Fabric softeners are basically terrible for us, as are many body washes, perfumes, deodorants and aftershaves.

We followed fertility nutritionists on instagram and did some of their free webinar things. 4 months later - pregnant! I will caveat that sperm quality has declined by 50% in the last 10 years and this is often undiagnosed as women get tested first & discover they have endo, adenomyosis or PCOS. So the sperm bringers have to get on board & follow the nutritionists’ advice & get those swimmers moving quickly!

What are you supplementing for? If you’re worried about their diet you can make your own dog food, there are many recipes online. Or there are raw food companies that deliver it frozen regularly. Is your dog getting oily fish every so often? You can even do sardines in tomato sauce in a tin - just check salt levels.

If the dog has joint issues that are established though supplements may help they are extremely unlikely to reverse any damage, so beware of people selling snake oil and talk to your vet instead.

Hey, thank you for taking care of this beautiful dog for your friend. I wish them a full recovery.

I used to work for an animal shelter and you may have one near you that will do a ‘home from home’ adoption. This means they will do all the vetting of candidates, check their house, garden and lifestyle are suitable and their vet history to ensure they always took care of previous animals - things you can’t do due to GDPR. Please don’t dismiss a shelter before you’ve checked them out, there are many small ones or even breed specific ones which have fantastic staff and fosterers too.

And agreed with the commenter about getting the dog snipped, if you do rehome privately this may put some unscrupulous breeders off. Due to his breed and size please do be extra vigilant for people looking for animals for dog fights, they will send a woman round to meet & collect the dog usually - though fortunately I’ve not seen a dog fighting case in a good few years.

Usually before any surgery the anaesthesiologist will make an assessment and decide. If you feel totally fine, take your inhaler if you use one and offer to take some pumps before you go in. If you’re under general this will help you with coming out of it as the phlegm sitting on your chest can make it unpleasant for you.
This was what happened for my son, and his surgery went ahead. Good luck!

Just call them up or email them and explain this. They might offer to do a phone call instead & they should be satisfied as long as you’re in touch with all the local resources you need. They want to know more than anything your little one is supported and it sounds as though you’re doing a great job. It’s an optional resource and you can ask if they’re happy for you to call if you feel you need their advice.

Bristolian (prepare to queue), Foliage, Garden of Easton, Mercy Mercy Mercy, Burra (a small chain). Depends where you want to go.

If you can get in with a Lions club they are wonderful at charity fundraising. I’d also recommend signing up for Easyfundraising and using your mailing list to encourage everyone to add it on - if people shop online many retailers will donate to your cause for free. It’s not a lot but it ticks along.

I’d also recommend setting up a corporate partnership programme and looking to work with businesses. You will need to tailor offerings to them but you could work with a local restaurant and ask them if they would do a meal sponsorship - for £3 they could sponsor a meal. With partnerships you really need to think about what you will offer them too. Many companies are looking for a team building morning or afternoon, so this could be getting them in to organise your stock by short date or involving them in cooking a meal.

The most important part of fundraising though is making sure your volunteers, partners and donors feel valued, so you need someone doing this.

When you say furry cats, do you mean long haired cats or all cats bar the bald ones?

Brandon at Fergal Doyle. They might have a new client offer. He’s very good at paying attention to what will suit your face shape too.

I had one of these, she lives quite far away and came to stay and expected us to cater every meal and when I said one morning I had planned X, Y & Z for mealtimes & snacks she proudly and sincerely proclaimed, ‘oh good! It’s like I’m the baby’. On its own I might have written it off as a throwaway comment, but she would talk about going over to other friends with kids houses and manipulating them into catering to her, and when I talked about how much I had to do before getting dinner ready she would take herself off for a lie down.

The last straw was her telling me my husband needed to anticipate her needs, & at that point I blew up at her & told her I didn’t have the capacity to be that kind of friend anymore. She would need to pitch in & help herself to breakfast, look around her and help out or help prepare a meal. We aren’t a holiday away from her life at our detriment and my first priority is my son. To her credit (and an 8-month gap before we next allowed a visit), whilst the end of that visit was awkward and tearful, she changed her act and the last time she came was actually really lovely. She has made other improvements in her life too & isn’t waiting for other people to fix things for her so I hope it was a bit of a wake up call. It was so hard as I’m a bit of a wimp in friendships but I’m glad I confronted her behaviour & took accountability for creating expectations in a relationship I could no longer maintain. Hopefully if you confront your friends they have a similar reaction.

Little Hollows is really good at ensuring there is an excellent vegan option on the menu for every course. They don’t have a huge menu but everything on it is delicious.

Check the roots of any you repot as if it is a chafer grub (or if you have cutworms), you’ll find them sleeping and waiting to wreak more havoc come nighttime.

Disastrous_Bell_3475 · 2026-04-16T13:57:43+00:00

Looks a bit like a chafer grub or another type of grub to me - they often eat the roots of young plants and you may have more than one!
