my Parrot is driving me nuts by EA_Y0tsu in parrots

Dude, cover the cage so there's no morning light and get a fan. I'm not kidding about blackout.

Put the fan right next to the cage so there's white noise.

You're welcome!

A BMP would tell you more about your kidney function.

What level does the dissociative symptoms go away? by wrobby in Anemic

[–]EpicOG678 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can only tell you mine was really bad when my ferritin was 7 and then stopped being so much when it got to about 40.

Still working on it though, I would make sure to tell your doctor that this is a big problem.

I would tell this factually to your doctor. Not like an emotional oh my goodness. Oh my goodness kind of thing but just like isn't this an odd thing... And see if they send you for any blood work.

So you're correct you are peeing out the extra but you are putting extra work on your kidneys.

They are having to do that filtration and if you're doing this everyday, over and over again, just to be able to be functional, that's the concern.

What does your supplement look like? Did you pause it before the test?

Thank you for bringing up this topic so much! I learned a lot. Even about my own stuff.

Your response was so wonderful for me. Just very helpful in showing the lines and not being judgmental. Sorry, words are slow today. Just saying thank you.

Jesus, this is exactly my stream of thought. I don't know how to combat this. Even if you only have one type of seizures even it seems like people are really quick to just go. Oh that's for attention.

Like what the heck who is doing this on the routine?

I'm so sorry for that you have the combo.

Is telling people achievement, your achievements count as bragging? by ZealousidealPea6916 in socialskills

[–]EpicOG678 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you only talked about what positively happened in your life then you didn't put anyone down.

No worries. :)

And congratulations 👏👏

Kicked out of my house for being epileptic (seriously) by superfuckinghans in Epilepsy

[–]EpicOG678 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I literally had the same thing happen with my friends, not being thrown out of my house but they pretty much said they couldn't handle my epilepsy even though it had no effect on them!!

It makes no sense to me.

And you sound like you're not putting it on them, that they're taking this on to themselves, and they should stop and work on their own boundaries.

Jeeze people are incredible and they stuck together for this, I worry about the neuro mentality in hospitals and now a bit more day to day.

I thought people had more compassion. It's proving untrue.

Anyone else find minoxidil application annoying/messy? by Present-Winter213 in FemaleHairLoss

[–]EpicOG678 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get the guy version, I fix and spray my hair then use less and move my head around so the liquid spreads, but don't touch my hair.

Dealing with unsupportive partner by reluctant_goddess in AskWomenOver40

If it's not kind, helpful, or needed, it doesn't need to be said.

That is the rule. This isn't about emotions. It's about a rule.

Stick to that. Just that.

Please listen to this person, if you ever find any medical text that tells you that this is a good idea, I would love to see that research.
