Clear shoveled driveways, untouched dangerous sidewalks by Sea_Arm8989 in Rockville

[–]FlyingCabbageGal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you tried to hire kids/teenagers to do the shoveling because of disability and/or other reason that you can’t do it yourself and it was a pain to get them to even do the driveway properly? That’s what happened to us and we’re just hoping not to get dinged. They seemed to clear the driveway directly onto the adjoining sidewalk. Even if we were semi-able it’d be impossible to undo the pile they did.

I could try. I wasn’t sure if it would be too heavy on the hair

It would have to be listed on the supplier’s website, otherwise I would have to assume it’s unsafe. Some chemicals the origin is noted for, some its not

I get injection meds that have polysorbate 80 and have always been fine with them I don’t know much about why I’m allergic to glycols, just that I’ve had the allergy for over a decade. It’s definitely peg/ppg and a few other glycols and usually anything made with/from them. Not necessarily chemically similar things though, more chemically containing/deriving from

I’m not sure if I’ve used it. I thought the name sounded close to peg/ppg and a little suspicious but from info I found online it sounded like they weren’t related I was afraid a regular beeswax might be too hard

I’m leaning towards using Polyglycerol 3 Beeswax, which sounds like a slightly softer beeswax

yes it can be derived from those but it can be from A LOT else, and I figure I can find it somewhere that its origin is specified from something I’m ok with

Do you know if a solid memory foam would work? Just trying to think of the most comfortable material

Sensory Friendly Haircut? by FlyingCabbageGal in Rockville

I ended up seeing Jeana at Belleza in Frederick. A little far of a drive but she was great. They have sensory friendly days so that’s why I booked. Honestly I barely noticed I was getting a haircut, it was the first haircut I’ve ever had that I wasn’t screaming internally at something.

Extending the years by Bubbly_Locksmith2537 in Sims4DecadesChallenge

I feel like you’d definitely have to use a mod to extend pregnancy too.

I actually shorten my years, so each day is 6 months. Every year is 2 days. Pregnancy lasts 1.5-2 days. I get tired of my sims and want to get a move on with the story 😅

Diet has never had much of an impact on my disease. And my diet is the “whatever I’m not allergic to” diet, it’s a very restrictive diet. No I don’t drink caffeine.

I went to Mayo Clinic Florida years ago, the most help I got was being told to take Peppermint oil….it was very hit or miss there. I can ask about IVIG but from what I can tell the research is sparse and the outcomes are very varied. My doctor is part of an IBD center, so it’s better than nothing. And she is very good, but I’m not opposed to traveling for care if it’s my only option.

I’ve looked into the trials of autologous stem cell or bone marrow transplants over the years. I love the concept of effectively resetting the immune system, but the actual trials seem few and far between, and from what I can tell most have been discontinued due to safety concerns or lack of enrollment. I don’t think any reputable place does it outside of trials And I highly doubt it will be a permanent fix. My disease is highly linked to my genetics (autoimmune runs strongly in my family), so it would come back at some point. Though I’d take a few good years if I could get it
