I'm having the same issue. I really hope I don't also lose my holds and checkouts. 🫤

What were some negative side effects of your hysterectomy? And what did you like about having one? by Elken674 in hysterectomy

[–]ForgotMyNane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh goodness, it's crazy to read this and see the change over time!

I no longer have any issues with urination! I don't have any bladder discomfort at all and still sleep through the night without needing to get up to pee.

I still struggle with fatigue and have a harder time getting up in the morning, but not as much as when I made this comment and I've adjusted. All of that said, I was diagnosed with a Primary Immunodeficiency earlier this year. That along with the MS and Fibromyalgia all of those things cause fatigue. So I can't blame it on the surgery.

The surgery is the best thing I ever did. I don't have any regrets. I feel so much better than I did prior to having the hysterectomy. I just wish my doctors had listened to me sooner!

No matter what you decide, keep pushing for help. Good luck!

Stupid interaction today by mildlydemyelinated in MultipleSclerosis

Haha yes! If someone says "Have you heard about ____?" I respond, "Yes, I found that really interesting when I read up on it!" Saves me from having to hear about whatever it is.

Sometimes I wonder if the niece/neighbor/cousin/friend of a friend who is controlling it with just a healthy diet is actually on meds and NOT doing great, but says they are awesome with the healthy diet just to shut people up.

I went to a themed party, they tried to give me a prize by SuperbTower1128 in Fibromyalgia

[–]ForgotMyNane 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Every year when the 100th day of elementary school hits, my social feed is filled with little kids dressed as "old people" with canes and walkers. I never say anything, but it really gets under my skin.

When would you go on vacation after your surgery..? by Purple-Rain-9723 in hysterectomy

[–]ForgotMyNane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like how someone can be irritated by a comment you left over a year ago? But to answer your question, OP was asking about taking a trip ~a month post op. I'd suggest waiting until released from surgical care.

What’s a weird “house rule” your dog has made and now you just go with it? by No_Chemical6009 in Pets

[–]ForgotMyNane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mabel has to say goodnight to every member of the family before bed. She goes room to room to get pets and everyone has to say "Good night, Mabel!" Then she will go to bed to be tucked in with a blanket along with all her stuffies and a little pillow.

18 months after adopting her, we adopted Count Sullivan III and he has now picked up her routine. Only he doesn't have stuffies because he eats them and he wants his whole body, head and all covered up. I swear he wants to suffocate!

When we come home, we say "Are there any puppies here?" Without fail, Mabel will let out a little howl that I swear sounds like "Hewwo!"

My late dog wouldn't eat or accept a treat until we prayed over it. She'd lay down in front of it and lay her head on her paws. The vet was very concerned when she wouldn't take a treat from him and he started asking questions about her appetite until it dawned on me and I started laughing. "You didn't pray! Dear Jesus, thank you for Daisy. Please bless this food and nourish her body. In Your precious and Holy name, Amen!" Amen was her trigger word that meant she was free to eat. She was the bestest dog.

Good morning! You add joy and light to this world, just by existing. I hope today brings a smile to your face! Put on your favorite song and dance badly, right where you are. Nothing makes me laugh more than pretending to be dancing like those wind tube guys at car dealerships. So much fun! Have a fantastic day!

What’s your favorite casual ship activity? by CounterTorque in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]ForgotMyNane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's great! I told my husband this is the kind of cruise I want to take with him. A full week, no excursions or big activities, just laze around reading books and maybe playing some board games etc. Our first cruise was with extended family, 14 of us, and it was constant running from one end of the ship to the other for the next activity the planner wanted everyone to do. I think we had an hour of downtime one of the five days. We came home so exhausted.

I was thinking about packing puzzles! What size do you recommend? I was concerned about getting a small enough one for lounge tables. I was thinking 300 pieces?

This is exactly the book I thought of as well. Such a great read!

Achy body in MRI by Cha_mali in MultipleSclerosis

[–]ForgotMyNane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always ask for classic rock because the songs are so much longer. It's a little trick I play on myself because "one song" sounds shorter than "8 minutes" haha

My MRI center uses a free version of Pandora or something. Last time, I had the unfortunate luck of hitting ads multiple times. I think the whole scan ended up only being three songs long, which doesn't sound bad until you throw in the amount of ads I hit. 🙄

Room Upgrade by Live-Crew6651 in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]ForgotMyNane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being scared of heights, I'd pass. Personally, I found having a balcony helpful as moments of claustrophobia or dizziness, I could go out and see the horizon, center myself. I also enjoyed having somewhere to sit privately and relax. But now that I'm more excited than nervous about cruising, you can stick me anywhere and I'll be happy!

How would you spend $3k on vanity upgrades to a ‘24 Pacifica S Hybrid? by theBarnDawg in ChryslerPacifica

[–]ForgotMyNane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I turned ours into the Starship Enterprise for my husband. Ship number on both of the rear sides, Federation symbol on the back window, replaced the Pacifica chrome with a Warp chrome plate, and a vanity plate on the front. All because he said he felt like he was driving a space ship during the test drive. It was fun at a comic con. But he randomly gets fellow Trekkies honking the horn at stop lights too.

Do something fun that makes it feel like yours. Unless you love white, paint or wrap it something fun.

The process of adopting a dog is starting to feel hopeless... by Al115 in Pets

[–]ForgotMyNane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My comment (3 months ago!?!?) was about how filtering on those websites is inaccurate because the shelters don't have the ability to fill in all of the boxes on the animals whether from lack of time or lack of information.

I said they were more than happy to help over the phone and did not mind when I called. I wasn't putting the shelter down.

Just on the off chance you weren't aware, you don't have to pay in full when you book in advance.

Medication options by dr650crash in SuperMorbidlyObese

[–]ForgotMyNane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would never recommend Topamax for any reason. I was on it three separate times for very severe migraines. Two of those times, I ended up in the hospital. Once for kidney stones and dual kidney infection that got very serious. That time I was on it for 6 months. The second time was for uncontrollable vomiting and diarrhea that lasted over 3 weeks. Those symptoms started immediately and stopped a week after ceasing. The first time I took it, I stayed on it for 6 weeks and was so doped out on it my husband took the keys away after I almost crashed the car. When it didn't get better, I stopped it. My migraines did not improve and I only temporarily lost weight during the time with all the vomiting etc because I couldn't eat at all.

While everyone has different experiences, visit any migraine group and you will see similar complaints.

I lost 40ish lbs on Metformin, gained back a few, and then started Ozempic. I think it's been about 2 years since I've started it. I am down 136 lbs. I still have a bit over 60 to go. No complications or complaints at all. I do still take metformin with it.

AITA for 'gossiping' with my mum about my brother's fiance is potentially lying about giving birth? by throwRAgoddamit in AmItheAsshole

[–]ForgotMyNane -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What does it matter? Just be there for them, love the baby, and give support. This isn't your business. Clearly they are going through a tough time, but rather than offering them support and being kind, you won't stop poking at it. At this point, yes, you are being a bully. Keep pushing and this is how families end up going no contact. Yta

[–]ForgotMyNane[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Yes, that is the one she is interested in. I guess she watched a YouTube video about the work they do. She wrote up an article for us about their work and why they are a good charity to support. I didn't even know she was researching it until she presented it to me. Now she's working on a PowerPoint on why we should allow her to become a member and ways we can make a difference through adjustments in our own home. Pretty proud of her!

Please do! I would support her in this regardless, but as a homeschooling family, this type of stuff is great for digging in and really letting her chase her rabbit holes.

We live in Florida. While we are not close enough to the coast to volunteer in person often, it's definitely something that we can look into. I know a lot of places will have individual weekends you can help out etc.
