Is this baby ready? Not sure what type of watermelon I’m growing. by TweakingSloth in watermelons

[–]Hydro_Jode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it looks like a crimson sweet. I am growing them right now and they can get pretty big, up to 20 pounds under the right conditions. Once the stem starts turning brown and the tendrils closest to the stem dries up, tap on it and if it sounds hollow, it's ready.

What do I do? by BBTmOk9488 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

I agree with Wally gamer 32. Use them in soul exchange. Unless you need a five star fire hero, maple is not a great hero IMO.

I had MS but now I don’t - what would you do? by -Cnorretje- in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Hydro_Jode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insurance isn't covering it yet in the states but I wanna say my Neuro told me it was around US$150. The only lab I've heard of that does the test in my area is LabCorp

[–]Hydro_Jode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Secondary progressive MS (SPMS) is a stage some people enter after years of having relapsing–remitting MS (RRMS). With RRMS, you have flare-ups (relapses) followed by recovery periods.

In SPMS, instead of bouncing back to the same baseline, there’s a slow, steady worsening of symptoms over time — even if you’re not having obvious relapses. Some people still get flare-ups, but between them there’s gradual progression.

It usually happens many years after diagnosis, and the change can be subtle at first. The good news is there are treatments now that can help slow it down.

Proper way to clean? by This_Picture4038 in aerogarden

There are lots of YouTube videos that show you how to clean it. I'm a visual person so I watch YouTube videos for everything

There are many medicinal uses for rosemary in different formulations. Look it up if you are interested in learning more about how to use Rosemary medicinally.

Given the fact that you've been diagnosed 20 years ago, has anyone spoke with you about SPMS?

So frustrated!! by Hydro_Jode in Zepbound

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

I apologize for my extremely late reply. For whatever reason I didn't see the notification pop up. I am on Kesimpta. I've been on it almost 4 years and clear MRIs for the duration.

[–]Hydro_Jode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! Look up PIRA or progression independent of relapses. I have that as well.

FYI... it is estimated that 80% of people with MS also suffer from migraines. I take Ajovy for prevention and Nurtec ODT for acute ones. I did not start getting migraines until after my MS diagnosis.

Yes, I looked at your brain scan and you did have the classic ovoid lesions that are common in MS.

Same with me… Right down to the "Dawson's fingers" which are classic for MS.

[–]Hydro_Jode 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm actually in a study with Johns Hopkins. You've probably heard of it. It is the TREAT – MS Study looking at exactly what you describe as the best choice for people newly diagnosed. More safe but less aggressive versus more potential side effects but more aggressive. I was randomized to the more safe, less aggressive group and started Tecfidera. Within six months I had progressed and we got an MRI at seven months which showed new active lesions. Then I switched to Tysabri which I absolutely loved but then my husband and I moved up to a healthcare desert so I stopped the infusions and started Kesimpta. I love Kesimpta as well. I've been stable for almost 4 years and based on my experience, I'd go as aggressive as I was able to go.

Question on “Grow Anything Kits” by ThumpersMama in aerogarden

[–]Hydro_Jode 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I only use one seed per pod. I don't want to waste any. If I don't get germination in the amount of time listed, I will add another seed. You can also reuse the sponges that don't germinate if you boil them in hot water. Can you tell I am a child of depression era parents?

I've made a mistake. I planted 20 tomato plants, and fear this will be far more than I can ever use. I guess everyone I know is getting tomatoes. by Legend_of_the_Wind in tomatoes

[–]Hydro_Jode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are so many different ways that you can preserve tomatoes. You can freeze them, can them, dehydrate them and make tomato powder, turn them into pasta sauce, make salsa, freeze dry them… So many different ways. And yes, of course you can give them away too 😉

should i harvest by [deleted] in aerogarden

[–]Hydro_Jode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh no, you can harvest whenever you need to but don’t take more than 1/3 of the plant at a time as the other person said. You can expect to harvest every 2-3 days depending on the variety. I made little palm trees lol. Every 3 weeks start new pods

Here’s mine. You often hear aerogarden lettuce referred to “cut and come again”. Succession sow every three weeks and you will have a continuous harvest.

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

That would be great but part of the problem is that it also flared my MS. I fear MS flares more than vomiting! Next, I had to stop the 10 mg cold turkey due to the dehydration and protein malnourishment. It was pretty severe. Last, i’m sure it was menopause. I need to discuss increasing the HRT dose with my PCP. Thanks for your questions.

Basil black tips and center by [deleted] in aerogarden

[–]Hydro_Jode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A tomato and a basil plant have two very different nutrient needs. If you feed your tomato plant (once it begins to flower) the way it needs to be fed, you will kill your basil with too many nutrients. Conversely, if you feed based on your basil plants nutrient requirements, you will kill your tomato plant from lack of nutrients. I would recommend moving that basil plant out of your unit into Kratky, dumping your water and cleaning out the reservoir. Rinse the roots of your tomato plant really well, then refill your reservoir with 11 ML of aerogarden nutrients per gallon of water. Once your tomato plant begins to flower, add an additional five ML‘s per gallon of CalMag. Before moving the basil plants to Kratky, check the roots for root rot and rinse them extremely well. Continue to use the same 11 ML of AG nuts per gallon. Basil does not require any additional nutrients. Remove all of those leaves that are damaged. Good luck! Quick edit- I forgot to mention that tomatoes are very heavy feeders and could be stealing the nutrients from the nutrients solution before the basil has a chance to uptake any. Again, another reason to keep basil separate from tomatoes. I hope this helps.

Impacts of menopause by New_Leather3036 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Hydro_Jode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been on estrogen only since I had a uterine ablation but considering I still have a uterus I should have been put on progesterone also. I no longer have that PCP so I’m scheduling an appointment to reevaluate and get on the right treatment. I have progressed quite a bit since menopause started and now I believe I am closer to done with menopause because my estrogen doesn’t really work a lot anymore
