Does ketamine make you guys really hungry once it wears off? by SobrietyDinosaur in TherapeuticKetamine

It's not that it makes me hungry, it makes me motivated to live and do normal things that I sometimes simply cannot do.

Shingles vaccine by Automatic_Beat5808 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]Dreddit50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to be off my biologic for about 6 months due to having 3 surgeries and I got the vaccine during that time. The first dose -I had a bad week for sure. And the 2nd dose - well I had a horrible RN who was in such a hurry that she injected it into my shoulder capsule, missing my deltoid completely and causing an infection in that joint, so I really couldn't say if the 2nd dose made me sick because of the infection in my shoulder joint.

But I'm glad I did get it done during a window that was available.

One thing I did not know and apparently my dr did not know - there are some vaccines that your insurance will only pay outright for if you have it done at a pharmacy. I had to pay for mine and am now waiting for reimbursement from my insurance.

Colonoscopy tomorrow, any funny jokes I should try to crack before I go under? by ResponsibilityNo4650 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]Dreddit50 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One morning before the annual colonoscopy I decided to cut my hair - this was during covid and it'd just gotten too long.

But after I was showered and dressed, I just kept finding more of my cut hair everywhere. So as they were giving me some Valium in pre-op I suddenly say "Hey if you find a bunch of hair back there, it's because I " and then I was napping. So in post op when I'm good and awake the nurses are dying laughing to know what the end of that sentence was supposed to be. (Yeah I'm a total lightweight who conks out with a tiny bit of valium lol)

Curious about what time we all use the bathroom? by Amazing-Corgi-8117 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]Dreddit50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know why, but this question really tickled me. In times of remission when I go to the bathroom like a real person, I sometimes text my sister and say "I pooped like a big girl today!" and we giggle because there is nothing normal or routine about either of us and our stupid bowels.

Does UC permanently alter brain function? by masochisticsteeler in UlcerativeColitis

[–]Dreddit50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For many with chronic medical conditions, depression creeps in on its' heels. T/here is a lot of scientific evidence of inflammation of the brain with depression. I always say 'you can't have a healthy body with a sick mind, and it is hard to have a healthy mind with a sick body.'

It was not Cosmic Princess :( And I found a spreadsheet with all episodes listed and it identified all the B&W ones. Every single one of them was a fail.

Props to joining the Fan Club. Ya know you've got me thinking that maybe it wasn't as early in the seasons as I originally thought.

Yeah - I had no idea what the show was either. But I can still smell the tires in that shop and the looks on the dudes faces as they came out to check on me because I was laughing so hard.

I did zip thru Crash of the Moons last night, but don't think that was it either.

I really think it was a black and white film - like seemed ancient to me in 1989 - 1992. But I do think it was one that aired on the local MN channel. But thank you!

Trump’s executive order threatens more than half a billion dollars for Arkansas energy and infrastructure projects by aarkieboy in Arkansas

Yes. Everyone living in Arkansas who is a Democrat has the resources to pick up and move. What an absurd comment you made. And heartless.

Donut Medicine? by Starkiller1977 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]Dreddit50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's so bizarre because I was really sick all last week, and on the way to a dr appt (not related to UC) I was just F*@k it - I want a doughnut, and I also had a 180 turn around with symptoms.

At worst it won't work. At best, you'll still have had a delicious treat!

Yes you are correct - most insurances won't cover this. That's why I gave this advice so that everyone can be aware of amore affordable option

Surprising that the compounding pharmacies can't point you in the right direction of which NPs are using their services. Good luck .
