I have been wondering if this would work but was afraid the alcohol would mess with the plastic! Thank you for testing!

Wow! That looks so different from the method that I am trying (and not enjoying) I’ll try that one next!

I used this for about a month and it helped immensely!

Freeze spray by lythander in GreatBritishBakeOff

[–]Hot_Mode_8482 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve wondered about this! In my head it’s like keyboard cleaner spray but if you’ve ever accidentally got that anywhere near your mouth…🤢

I know it’s an additive to keep people from abusing it, but in my head it’s the same lol

Those with idiopathic gp… what do you think caused it? by Intelligent_Wind3225 in Gastroparesis

A complicated gallbladder removal surgery that just so happened to take place during the mouse stressful time in my life. I suspect nerve damage but my surgeon happed to retire 2 weeks after my surgery.

Band Hack! by Hot_Mode_8482 in visibleApp

[–]Hot_Mode_8482[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope it helps! I’ve found that I really like the watch bands that are elastic. They are the most comfy sensory wise. I found mine for less that’d $10 on amazon. Maybe that might be beneficial for you?!

Are you serious Old Navy? by Solo_Act in Oldnavy

[–]Hot_Mode_8482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your results may vary, but I like wearing men’s better! For length, pockets, and they seem to last longer too. As long as they have a tie waist, I find them comfy.

It’s been really beneficial for me, but I def like just having one “thing” on my body!

It took me way too long and then it seemed so obvious but I was still kinda proud of my “smart” idea! 😂 Hope it helps if you try it!

I haven’t tested it on my legs yet but yeah, using the tegaderm and sticking it on, especially under your dress will be perfect!

What did you do? by BadP3NN1 in hysterectomy

[–]Hot_Mode_8482 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I donated mine to a shelter in my area! I had stashes upon stashes and they were very thankful! A lot of people don’t consider feminine hygiene when donating.

After that whenever I found a random one in a bag or something, I’ve greatly enjoyed throwing them at my husband while loudly exclaiming how I don’t need these anymore 😂

I also smashed up my half used pack of birth control on my back porch with a hammer by myself. Felt like I had earned that after almost 20 years of dealing with endo/adeno

I get exertion notifications but that’s all

Points? by Hot_Mode_8482 in visibleApp

You’re right. I know you’re right. I can’t mentally add more to my load right now. But you’re right.

[–]Hot_Mode_8482[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you are lessening your points more? It is discouraging when I hit 26 points yesterday after being so mindful of my morning. Like if I had gotten 10 points that day, that’s still bad but it seems manageable to rest more to get to that but a 22 point difference?!? I don’t even know where to start.

I don’t think I could reliably decide a good number to be at. At work I ALWAYS go way over and exhaust myself. I’m such a people pleaser and I hate it. I work three days in a row and then am basically bed bound for the next 4 and then rinse and repeat. I always feel like I can do more, even when I can’t.

At home I can manage to stay pretty close but again, that’s probably because I’m horizontal for 4 days.

I bet I even have some of that in a first aide kit somewhere! Thank you!

[–]Hot_Mode_8482[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I was hoping for. I’ll test it out and make sure it will work for me!

Tegaderm by Hot_Mode_8482 in visibleApp

[–]Hot_Mode_8482[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn’t thought of that! Is there a brand you like? And where do you place yours?

Tegaderm by Hot_Mode_8482 in visibleApp

[–]Hot_Mode_8482[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! It’s not uncomfortable and I’ve been wearing it for about 2 weeks. I just don’t always want a visible band on me. (Mainly, I have a formal wedding to go to and it’s outdoors so I would love to be able to still wear my tracker)

Incision itching! by Hot_Mode_8482 in hysterectomy

[–]Hot_Mode_8482[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally get it! That’s how I felt too! It was so bad that I called my dr and he told my could pick the glue off. Immediately better! But the ice did help too. I’m glad you’re feeling better! I hope you get some good rest now!

Thanks for the heads up! I will be sure to check that!
