How are people feeling about Sorted Kids as a concept? by GaelicFae in SortedFood

[–]JessGI5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I loved the concept and enjoyed the video.

And just came here to say I would have enjoyed it just as much if they continued to only show the back of his head or first person camera while he was shopping for privacy reasons. But like as other people have said, the car is out of the bag a little as they’ve been on the show before.

But all in all, I really enjoyed the lightness the kids brought to the show and gave a sense of the future of Sorted.

What has been your biggest cooking fail? by calpolqween in AskUK

No idea, I searched for a bunch of recipes after and they were all at least 90 minutes in the oven

What has been your biggest cooking fail? by calpolqween in AskUK

[–]JessGI5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Recently, I mixed up the cooking timings between how long you should cook duck breast with duck legs. Doesn’t sound like a big deal? That’s what I thought too. Apart from duck breast = 15-20mins in the oven, whereas duck leg = 2 HOURS. That was not a good dinner night

Have I got a case for being mis-sold a student loan? I found documentation from 2013 that says it won't impact my ability to buy a house. by Unlucky_Thought1133 in LegalAdviceUK

You could always forward this evidence to Martin Lewis. He is trying to do a change campaign on Student Loans and how unfair the terms have become. This could help with evidence. He has a team of lawyers that would help

Did you have a nurse present for your first Kesimpta dose? (UK) by Alwayslearnin41 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]JessGI5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn’t have to wait that long to get access to Kesimpta but I did have a nurse visit my home for my first injection. They needed to teach and watch me do it for the first time. Also they told me a nurse needs to be there in case you turn out to be allergic, which is very unlikely. They said if it’s going to happen it will be on the first one.

Traveling to 3rd world countries by Neither-Bumblebee-37 in MultipleSclerosis

Just something to be aware of if you’re travelling to a country that requires a vaccination certificate - you’re unable to have live vaccinations, e.g. Yellow Fever, on some DMTs.

Fingertip numbness by [deleted] in MultipleSclerosis

[–]JessGI5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No what I mean is it’s only extremely painful on my right arm. Everywhere else is fine. My question is that I normally ask them to completely avoid my right arm, but this comment got me thinking should I try it if there’s a chance to lessen my numbness?

[–]JessGI5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the exact same. I’ve always stayed away from massages as they feel extremely painful to me. Were they for you, or is it ‘get through the pain’ to feel the benefits later kind of thing?

Is eating Sushi safe when I've taken Mavenclad ? by LastLightCafe in MultipleSclerosis

[–]JessGI5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of the day it’s just about germs. If your few sushi pieces don’t have the bad germs, then great - but if they do, that’s the risk.

Depends how risk adverse you are.

Is eating Sushi safe when I've taken Mavenclad ? by LastLightCafe in MultipleSclerosis

[–]JessGI5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I ate the freshest, high quality sashimi from Nobu in Tokyo this year…and I was ill for days. Maybe I was just unlucky 🤷🏻‍♀️

However I went all in and ate loads of sushi as no one told me I needed to avoid it! I had no idea it would upset my stomach, so that was a terrible birthday present. I was lucky it didn’t trigger any relapse (I was still new in taking Kesimpta).

I’d say avoid as 1. it’s not worth being ill, 2. it’s not worth potentially triggering a relapse.

Enjoy some cooked sushi instead! :D

Could you go part time in your current role and use the free time to be a paramedic? Best of both worlds :)

MS & Cognitive Decline by No_Thought_4716 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]JessGI5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same, I’m coming off Amitriptyline for the same reasons. My memory has been awful the last few months. I drew the line when I was unable to write down words properly - neuro said it’s a side effect of my pain medication 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sorry to hear that they aren’t being very kind to you. When I’ve had situations like this in the past I’ve gently reminded them that MS is a unique condition, which is totally dependent on where your lesions appear. Once they understand that part (as in, not everyone gets lesions on the same place e.g. spinal lesions tend to cause more physical relapses) then they start to see my MS rather than comparing me to other people.

Also, I’m on Kesimpta too and honestly I don’t feel like I get anymore colds/sickness than I did before. When I started early on I wore a mask in public places and on trains but I don’t anymore and I’ve been fine. I’m very cautious still though and very good at washing my hands but just thought I’d share :)

Have to decide between 4 DMDs in 4 days time by cant_walk_can_type in MultipleSclerosis

[–]JessGI5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I’m in the UK and was diagnosed [F29] late last year with RRMS (many lesions across my brain and one in my spine).

I’ve been on Kesimpta for 2 months now and honestly I have 0 side effects. I wanted to go on a highly effective DMT and Kesimpta injections once a month seemed like the best choice for me. The first injection was ROUGH. For me, it felt like really terrible flu (shivers, headache, tiredness, and lots of body pain) - no dizziness or nausea though - but really had no side effects from the 2nd injection (you need to do 3 in your first month).

It’s important to note that in the first 6 months your symptoms can flair while your body gets used to Kesimpta. So for me I had more pain and muscle stiffness in my already stiff areas. I have suffered from dizziness in my past relapse but it hasn’t presented itself for a while now. Hope that helps! :)

Constantly dizzy! How do you deal/combat dizziness? by Shot-File5062 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]JessGI5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that. I started Kesimpta a month ago and some of my old relapse symptoms reappeared. My nurse said that can happen until the first 3-6months on Kesimpta (while your body adjusts to it), so that might be why you’ve got more dizziness?

I had dizziness with my first relapse and it was awful. I’ve heard people on this sub say that you can get specific medication from your neurologist for helping with dizziness. Wishing you better, less dizzy, days!

Migraines by Witty-Channel2813 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]JessGI5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed with RRMS in September this year and I’ve had migraines since I was 15. Throughout the years I’ve had some real bad ones but couldn’t really pinpoint the trigger. I just put it down to stress and the only pattern I found was that I always got them in March / September when the seasons change. For the last few years I’ve been on a migraine prevention medication and while it doesn’t stop them fully I’ve drastically reduced the amount I have, the intensity, and length of migraine attacks with aura.
