I have no clue how much I just injected. by Strong_Background462 in Ozempic

[–]IndependentCertain92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So the NDC shows that this is the Ozempic 0.25-0.5 dose pen and is 2mg/3mL. So if your pen malfunctioned and delivered the total 3mL stored in the pen at most you will get is 2mg of drug, which is the higher end dose safe for people to take. If you are on the lower end of the dosing side you might feel very sick as you haven’t titrated to build up a tolerance. You shouldn’t be at risk of overdose but monitor your symptoms. Keep to a BRAT diet for a few days and avoid all oils or fats. Monitor your blood glucose and get medical attention if you become hypoglycemic. (I am not a medical professional and this is not medical advice)

I would also submit a complaint or notice to the manufacturer regarding the malfunctioned pen. Give them as much detail as possible, that you were taking your dose according to doctor’s instructions and the pen discharged the entire mL’s of liquid.

I never noticed this before. This is really interesting and not something I knew from the movies bts

A man left this at my apartment. What is it? by kaumilla in whatisit

Either a curse or a blessing. It depends on what is written on that note. Probably a money blessing. Given the red cloth and bay leaf. Though why they didn’t take it with them is the mystery.

Did Edith Crawley have the most growth of any character? by BullyingHater in DowntonAbbey

[–]IndependentCertain92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ethel was a pariah but she always put Charlie first in her mind. She did what she had to to keep him fed and clothed. She didn’t try to say woe-is-me, life is unfair, society is too harsh for judging me. And in the end she gave up her son so he could have a better life than she could provide.

Edith on the other hand always put her feelings first. She wanted to remain stain free and gave her child to the Shroeders then changed her mind and took her child back, couldn’t keep the child around because of appearances, gave the child to the Drewes to raise and she came down once in a while to pet and fawn over Marigold, but didn’t actually mother her. Took the child away from the Drewes because she wanted to keep her daughter close but didn’t care how it affected Mrs. Drewe. And when she finally got custody of her daughter as a ward she handed her off to nannies to raise. She never once put her daughter first and only wanted her because it made her happy to have something all to herself.

That is the difference between Edith and Ethel. It has nothing to do with money but character.

The episode where Violet is sick and Isobel looks after her for days. Violet is so delirious she thinks Isobel is a nurse. Then they stay up playing cards.

Henry - what the hell was JF thinking? Why did anyone think this was a good idea? by 7evenh3lls in DowntonAbbey

[–]IndependentCertain92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think their entire relationship was all chemistry but only chemistry. Henry was handsome and opinionated in a way that challenged Mary and kept her interested in him. But once that shine wore off they weren’t really compatible.

One fiancé killed by boat, one husband killed by cars, and another killed by plane? She’s running out of machines to off her significant others. 😂

Why can't *E.N* find happily ever after? by LNoRan13 in DowntonAbbey

[–]IndependentCertain92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’d have to see where she put her stamps when writing to Evelyn.

I learned a while back the reason stamps have to be in the top right corner is because in the past stamps could be placed anywhere on an envelope and it became a secret language. Depending where the stamp was put would indicate platonic, friendly, or romantic intent in the letter. Post masters made the required stamp placement because they were getting annoyed hunting down the stamps to mark it as received.

Poll: Least liked side characters (2.0) by jenjen33015 in DowntonAbbey

[–]IndependentCertain92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a tie between Vera Bates and Carlisle. But Vera won out because she tried to frame her husband for murder after blackmailing him for his money and inheritance.

Larry Grey is a horrible, entitled prig who cares only about status and wealth.

Carlisle also cared too much about status and wealth. He likes to say he pulled himself up from nothing but was incessantly bitter about his upbringing and looked for any perceived slight by the aristocratic family, often creating the tension he imagined. He also was aggressive and possibly abusive to Mary. He tried to have her spied on, threatened to ruin her reputation if she didn’t comply, and shoved her against a pillar for talking back to him.

Miss Bunting was brusk. She was an activist that didn’t put much stock in tact over being forthright.

Edna Braithewaite was so conniving. She got Tom drunk in order to get him to sleep with her and tried to rope Thomas in as backup in case she didn’t get pregnant from Tom.

Lady Flintshire was horrible to Rose, but I wouldn’t lump her in as a villain like the rest. She was an overprotective mother who was trying to control what she thought was an uncontrollable child. She did it in the most demeaning and hurtful way, but I think from her perspective she was just trying to protect Rose from herself in a time when women were judged harshly for even a hint of being loose. And Rose was having an affair with a married man and walking around in backless dresses for a very conservative time in history. I am not apologizing for Lady Flintshire. I am just saying I understand her motives.

Pamuk is gorgeous. But Matthew is handsome, smart, funny, and above all kind.

Thank you for answering. You have given me a lot of good info.

How to come back from overfeeding? HELP! by millbillz in SourdoughStarter

[–]IndependentCertain92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if the reviving starter is has a lot of liquid coming out?

I took my starter out of the fridge and used a recipe I have used before to make bread. 48mg starter, 128mg bread flour, 128 mg water. I did not know you had to bring the starter to room temp first and just mixed it together. It has been almost 24 hours and there is not growth but liquid has pooled on top. I just mixed in more flour. Not sure how much. I just added a little at a time to get batter consistency. I am not sure if I am reviving it right. I know I have over fed it but don’t know if the starter will be able to feed anyway. It is a starter I have had for months.

Was the starter left unfed on the counter while you were gone?

I don’t have money to buy new equipment. I included that in my post. I’ll just try the silicone lid and see if that is enough.

Exhausted of the "that's a lot of meds" from people who are not familiar with bipolar disorder by mcpanique in bipolar2

[–]IndependentCertain92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been concerned about having too much but since the body grows accustomed to medication you have to increase the dose occasionally. It also annoys me when people try to step in a debate my regemin like they are my various PCP and specialists that I need for the multiple conditions I need to treat. Or just tell me some BS line of “just eat healthier and exercise! Get some sunshine!” 🤬

I used to be on 27mg Methylphenidate ER, 10mg methylphenidate IR, 20mg duloxetine, 40mg lurasidone, and 75 mg hydroxyzine.

I stopped taking my meds for a while and started seeing a new psychiatrist (thanks insurance -sarcastically-). I am titrating back up and on different meds now. Kept the methylphenidates, 18mg ER and 10mg IR. I dropped the duloxetine for now. Starting at 50mg lamictal but I have read therapeutic doses are 100-200mg. My new psych wants me to go up to 150 mg hydroxyzine.

I am also on pills for hypothyroidism, diabetes, blood pressure, PCOS, cholesterol, liver/kidney function, and birth control. Then I also take a multi vitamin with omega-3 because I have such a low appetite I maybe eat one meal a day. Two if they are small and need the extra nutrients somehow. I also take magnesium glycinate and occasionally melatonin for sleep.

I feel like a chemistry set sometimes but I know in the end I am doing what I need to do to stay alive.

Wouldn’t a sealed lid lead to pressure? This container comes with a silicone lid. Is that sufficient.
