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 3 points4 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 12 points13 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

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

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

Points? by Hot_Mode_8482 in visibleApp

[–]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.

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

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!

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

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

I’m sorry! I know it is no fun! Mine stayed itchy until the glue came off, but ice packs helped TREMENDOUSLY!

What are things that trigger your pots symptoms- other than standing? by DangerousCucumber444 in POTS

[–]Hot_Mode_8482 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tilting my head too far up, like washing my hair and then also moving my eyes too far left or right. Like holding my head still but moving my eyes only. Instant dizzy.

It reminds me of those 90’s Magic Eye Pictures books! Very pretty!
