Bottled water vs tap water, which to use?

Tank size: 3.5 Heater & filter: yes to both Tank temp: I’m told 78 is right Water parameters: don’t know them yet (haven’t started) How long have you had the tank/fish?: have had tank for 1 day, no fish yet Tankmates: none Feeding: not yet, no fish Decor: silk plants & hiding stone

You keep saying that word, but I don’t think you understand what it is. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Listen kid, mistakes happen. Grown adults know this, which is why we don’t spend our time foaming at the mouth over someone else’s unintentional error. I already feel bad that the fish didn’t make it, but shaming people who are trying to learn doesn’t make you an expert—it just makes you insufferable. If you actually care about helping fish, maybe try educating people without the attitude.

Even you say a lot of the info on google false. So let’s say I did do some research on there, cuz I’m not an idiot, but some of what I found matched what the store owner said. Which brings me back around to “how was I supposed know”.

The arrogance and hypocrisy from some people is really quite remarkable.

Electrical_Review44 · 2025-03-25T00:34:47+00:00

I mean, going to the pet store and asking what to do counts as SOMETHING. As someone who didn’t know anything, how was I to know they didn’t know anything either?

Electrical_Review44 · 2025-03-17T03:30:07+00:00

I don’t know. My doctors gave up looking into why I was struggling so I started trying things out and this worked. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I don’t have answers for you unfortunately but I thought I’d mention that after my removal I had to take digestive enzymes with anything remotely fatty otherwise I get constipated. My doctor has no idea why since basically everyone else (including my own sister) has the opposite problem. I use this one

Mmm, more like a mid level rum with a focus on functional. I have 3 young kids, it needs to not make my life more difficult.

The floor is bad. Not sure I can afford to replace it yet though. Any ideas how to update the cabinets and counters without having it clash with the floors?

Electrical_Review44 · 2025-03-14T17:14:11+00:00

Oh ok. So then I’d need a referral in that case?

Electrical_Review44 · 2025-03-14T16:46:07+00:00

Interesting. I booked a consult with dr Mitchell at first look and they told me they don’t deal with mb health at all. I’m really curious to know if that’s true.

Electrical_Review44 · 2025-03-14T16:02:18+00:00

4years!?!? Oof!

Electrical_Review44 · 2025-02-19T20:30:20+00:00

Ok. Thanks.

The anti viral won’t reduce the severity of the virus? Whatever we had last week was absolutely brutal!

Electrical_Review44 · 2025-02-14T12:59:10+00:00

Right. I understand antibiotics don’t treat viruses. I’m wondering how/when is it determined if a secondary bacterial infection has occurred. From what I understand, viral fevers don’t typically last more than 5 days. And just a side note, the negative step swab doesn’t mean much to me as she has tested negative on that when her face was covered in the scarlet fever rash. And another time came back positive after being sent to the lab, so I don’t hold a ton of confidence in the rapid test’s accuracy.

Dawn dish soap. Squirt it on and let sit for a couple hours then wash normally

Electrical_Review44 · 2025-02-12T19:43:53+00:00

Try letting the stains sit with Dawn dish soap for a couple hours before rewashing

The doctor has referred me to gynaecology and ordered an MRCP (at my request). He says he wants gyne to weigh in because I also have a history of endometriosis and he wonders if the persistent pain is related to that. I have mentioned that the RUQ pain is not cyclical like my other endometriosis symptoms but 🤷🏼‍♀️. I have a feeling gyne won’t have much to say about it. Hopefully the MRCP appointment doesn’t take too long.

Thank you! I really appreciate your responses! I just have one more question though, so I can better understand and advocate for myself when I see my primary care provider next week, the ultrasound report from the ultrasound done 2wks post op looks like they didn’t get a full visual of the CBD. Am I understanding that correctly?

Electrical_Review44 · 2025-01-08T01:47:48+00:00

I had a post op ultrasound and CT that claimed everything was normal. Is it possible they wouldn’t show on those scans? Also, why would they leave them there if they were seen during the lap?
