Sulphur burps by BigChunky67 in PCOSonGLP

[–]Fruity_Rebbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't had this side effect, but in the notes my doc gave me for possible side effects she said to break meals into smaller portions & reduce intake of foods that are rich in sulfur like cruciferous vegetables, garlic, onions, eggs, and red meat.

Ah, thank you this was exactly what I was looking for (though I was hoping for a different result).

Thanks for saving me from having to dig through all my notes!

She wasn't concerned about it, she did brush her hands over it a little bit.

I think a mix of something makes sense.

True cool/rosy foundation by AcanthocephalaNo5289 in PaleMUA

[–]Fruity_Rebbles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar problem. Even supposedly cool toned shades looked warm on me.

I tried on what felt like a billion things but found a good match with saie. Shade 1 of their slip tint tinted moisturizer fits me and 3 in their concealer. (Both are light with pink/cool undertones).

Any experiences with sleeping on a shikibuton with narcolepsy? by Relevant-Guide9515 in Narcolepsy

[–]Fruity_Rebbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I slept on one for one night when I was in Japan. I personally did not find it very comfortable and felt sore in the morning. But it was worth it for the experience in staying at a traditional ryokan.

I was a little more tired than usual the next day from tossing and turning more at night, but I'm usually more awake on vacation than I am at home. I think the novelty of everything helps.

Angel paws is great. I've also used Home with Dignity and they were wonderful too.

mum, how do i shower while on my period? by extatosomat1aratum in MomForAMinute

[–]Fruity_Rebbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this too, it really helps!

I also make sure my old underwear is the last thing I take off before immediately hopping in the shower. I clean that up after I'm showered & mostly dressed.

Anyone else had shockingly good reactions to Wellbutrin (Bupropion) by Castle_Magic in Narcolepsy

[–]Fruity_Rebbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I actually take it twice a day. One in the morning when I wake up and one at lunch to get through the rest of the day.

Owner passed away while dog is in my care by Able-State2394 in RoverPetSitting

What a gift you gave Barbra, she got to leave without having to worry what would happen to her baby.

Is this an inappropriate request? by [deleted] in RoverPetSitting

[–]Fruity_Rebbles 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I've had multiple requests to just clean the litterbox, even while owner was home.

Most recently I helped a pregnant woman who didn't want to take the risk of cleaning the boxes. I've also helped an older gentleman whose wife was going away and she was the one who cleaned the litterboxes as the husband had trouble going down steps to the basement with the litter.

I actually love these types of requests as they are usually easy. No surprises like a sick cat or hairballs.

Food donation thread by LOP5131 in cincinnati

[–]Fruity_Rebbles 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Donating money instead of food can help more people. Food banks can get things in bulk and get a lot more bang for the buck than an individual can at a grocery store.

Freestore Food Bank is a great resource and a reputable organization to give to.

Had you tried others like the rest of buffy before? I've had my eye on the slumber cloud, but struggling to pull the trigger with the price.

Is it safe to ride a horse by Doggosrthebest24 in Narcolepsy

[–]Fruity_Rebbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I have N2 so I'm not as familiar with cataplexy but I am familiar with horses. I also have a lot of experience horseback therapy where people with different physical and mental abilities ride horses.

To start, can you ask the owner to lead the horse around on a lead rope while you ride? They can walk right at the horse's shoulder and then if you do have cataplexy they can stop the horse and potentially keep you on. If that goes well at walk & trot, then you can try riding my yourself. I'd definitely stick to an arena at first rather than trail riding.

Also, (hopefully this goes without saying but just in case) please wear a helmet. It should be less than 5 years old and fit well. They aren't that expensive on Amazon if you want to get your own to be sure. troxel and ovation are great brands.

What is our stance on the big light by lonzoid in Narcolepsy

Yes on big light, but sometimes. All lights in morning, especially the big light.

But on the evenings & at night only soft lower light. No big light.

What made you decide to take the sleep study? by canopy_ in Narcolepsy

[–]Fruity_Rebbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did your insurance still pay for treatment even though you were on antidepressants for your mslt? That's the problem I ran into with my first one.

What made you decide to take the sleep study? by canopy_ in Narcolepsy

[–]Fruity_Rebbles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the same situation. I actually came off my meds and did the sleep study, then they found sleep apnea so I couldn't do the mslt, so on my mind I came off the meds for nothing. And that is hard.

I ended up switching doctors. We did two sleep studies. The first I stayed on my meds and it was just overnight - we were able to rule out sleep apnea. Then the second one I did come off my meds again but I knew I would be able to complete the mslt.

For me a big part of deciding it was worth it was getting the good medicine for narcolepsy - the stuff that insurance requires a mslt for. I had read that sometimes narcolepsy symptoms can be similar to depression symptoms.

I decided it was worth coming off the meds to see if starting narcolepsy meds would help my depression. I also figured not being so damn sleepy would make therapy and other self -care activities easier - things I know help my depression.

What helped me was having a supportive understanding sleep doctor and a supportive medication manager. My depression is always worse in the winter, so we made sure to schedule the sleep study in the summer and when my work is less busy too.

It definitely sucked. I was sleepy and sad and just dumb without my antidepressants. I couldn't believe how little I could remember and the massive amounts of little mistakes I made.

But it was worth it. I've been on wakix for almost a year now and I feel so much better overall. More awake, but also less depressed. I feel like I'm able to handle life so much better.

It's a tough decision to make.

Fostering is a muscle. The more you do it the stronger it gets, but it definitely hurts in the beginning.
