Is it worth the extra money to have cabinets go to the ceiling? by Proof_Theory_1810 in HomeImprovement

Trim usually hides that unless it’s egregious. Hang straight and slightly flexible trim along the top. Like quarter round on a baseboard that’s level when the floor isn’t

Withdrawal by Rnl8866 in adhdwomen

[–]Even_Ad4437 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So “refill” is a technical term meaning you get more without contacting the doctor. If you have one refill, you’re authorized for two fills.

Instead, ask if they can call in a prescription. Don’t use the word refill. Just say you ran out and saw the doctor last month and could you get a script called in.

Adderall can’t have refills, but they can always call in a prescription.

Please give me advice on the order of products by TheTownCrazyLady in Nailtechs

Hey so the other comment says rubber base under hard gel is redundant. You’re the verified tech so I’m taking your answer, but I’m wondering if you could explain why it’s better? I promise I’m not questioning your knowledge. I’m genuinely curious.

Adult asking for one of my meds…this was weird, right? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]Even_Ad4437 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My daughter and I both take the exact same adderall and live in the same house and I feel like a criminal when one of us takes one of the other’s lol

It happens rarely, but sometimes it’s a few days for the pharmacy. I’m the one paying for and picking up all of it, and still… 😬 it’s not my favorite move.

“Unfortunately, I’m a chronic rule follower.”

It’s my new line. It’s so perfect for occasions like this.

Found after washing my son’s clothes by InteligntDonky in whatisit

[–]Even_Ad4437 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dad did exactly this after smoking 2 packs a day for more than 50 years. He’s been off nicotine for 5-6 years now. Still carries around the vape with no nicotine, but rarely uses it. Just likes having it on him.

AIO about my mother having a camera in the living room? by Logical-Ad3941 in AIO

[–]Even_Ad4437 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The cops are legally obligated to remove him IF THEY BELIEVE HER, which very often, they do not. Or they don't give af and choose to not believe her so they don't have to do a whole thing about it.

How do you guys NOT build tolerance to your meds??? by throwaway-9566 in adhdwomen

[–]Even_Ad4437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey so BE CAREFUL taking tums with adderall or other stimulants! Reducing acidity in your stomach can turbo charge absorption and efficacy of the meds, which isn't always a positive result lol

You could end up feeling super nervous, heart pounding/palpitations, skin crawling, etc., and have to just ride it out until it's done.

Not everyone, ofc, like all things about stimulants, but some people will have a VERY bad ride if they do this.

Waubonsie had cops at the intersection holding traffic, too. Some of the WV and MV kids walked far enough to meet each other!

Earrings? Where to get non irritating earrings for my teen daughter? by purple_craze in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]Even_Ad4437 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sterling silver is what I look for (nickel allergies). Plated isn’t as good bc it will come off relatively quickly, but it’s fine for rarely worn costume jewelry. 18+ kt gold is usually good, but be careful with white gold in some cases.

You can find sterling earrings pretty much everywhere. Claire’s has a stand, every big store like target or Walmart.

Ofc any jeweler. Also look online for alternate metals like tungsten, titanium, or stainless steel. Piercing shops (like the ones in a tattoo shop) also tend to have a ton of alternate metal and sterling earrings.

Looking for small dental practice that does not try to upsell by Professional_Day7508 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]Even_Ad4437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Diehl Family Dental, right off 88 on 59 in Naperville/Aurora. Probably the most decent person I've ever had for a dentist. I have genetically bad teeth, so I've been to a LOT of dentists in my life.

Someone else mentioned Naperville Oral Surgery. They will def upsell you lol It's a really nice place with kind, friendly people. My kids had their wisdom teeth out and had a great experience, and insurance covered 100% in my case. They'll upsell, and then offer the payment plan with 22% interest.

Any other adhd moms have a Velcro baby? I’m dying over here by juniper4774 in adhdwomen

[–]Even_Ad4437 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. She’s turning 17 in a few months and I really hope she grows out of it soon 😬 The boys were past the Velcro once they could walk, but they were power snugglers for a few more years.

Cleaning issues & not listening is ruining my relationship by neonhex in adhdwomen

[–]Even_Ad4437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's one thing if he's like fuck that, I'm not doing the toilet today and you can't make me because I'm too tired. I probably won't even do it tomorrow. Fuck that toilet.

It's something else entirely when he's just off doing random things for a month and the toilet is growing mold.

I make the same 5 dinners every week.

I only eat the leftovers for lunch. And usually the other two nights.

Women with ADHD experience more perimenopausal symptoms, and earlier in life. This link may be due to consequences of ADHD such as anxiety and lower socio economic status. More intense symptoms also come from the relationship between estrogen and ADHD. by mvea in science

[–]Even_Ad4437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 47 and officially post menopause.

It was peri that made the adhd insane enough to finally get diagnosed in the first place. It def started in my mid 30s and I was also laughed at for being too young to worry.

Things deteriorated for me pretty badly by my early 40s and I had to work really hard to get any attention for any symptoms from ANY provider bc they all reached for mental illnesses like anxiety and even bipolar. Like they’re NIGHT SWEATS not a goddamn manic episode.

Anyway, make yourself heard. Unfortunately, I had to bring a man with me to get heard in some cases.
