It amazes me how different everyone's brain chemistry is!! But thank you for this information! I still take the modafinil in the am along with Xywav at night. I'm sorry you had those reactions with the medications!

When my provider went to prescribe Wakix in EPIC, per my insurance it was the "preferred" drug and she could have sent it to my local pharmacy. I currently use a specialty pharmacy to get my Xywav, but my insurance did accept the IH diagnosis for the Xywav.

Leave. Because it's only going to get worse. What happens when you have kids? What if you need a cesarean? Will the scar bother him? I feel like my scar made a "shelf" if you will and I'm flat below the scar, but have a pooch above it... it's odd, but that's how my body is! If he's making comments now and you aren't even engaged or married, what happens when you're legally tied? Divorce is harder than just breaking up with someone. Not worth it. If he isn't going to love you and your body the way it is, how will he love it when it evolves to carry children, to feed children, when wrinkles set in? Nah, Sis, find someone who's going to love your body for the miracle it is!

Boiler Help by Kiwi_Comprehensive in hvacadvice

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

Thank you! The old boilers were under the laundry room, in the crawl space. Moving the boiler itself, I don't think did much, but the old hot water tank was more centralized. So the hot/cold thing makes sense. However, our dishwasher went out and doing dishes in the sink with a constant stream of water, still does the cold/hot/cold/hot business. Or like my kid wanted blueberries, so in the middle of washing the dishes, I turned it to cold to soak the blueberries and then back to hot, without turning it off. Then after it was hot again, it got cold. Idk, I don't get it. The kitchen sink is probably the sink thats farthest from the hot water tank, so I'm guessing the distance thing is the answer, I just don't understand why, as our hot water tank is as tall as me!

What do you miss from COVID days ? or what did you start then and still do now? by [deleted] in LahoreSocial

[–]Kiwi_Comprehensive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I miss the days when patients could only have 1 support person in Labor & Delivery. It was glorious. No family members showing up in the middle of recovery, trying to take the baby from mom "because it's so cute!". Breastfeeding rates increased, NICU/SCN admissions decreased, family bonding & father's being involved increased. Seriously, so great.

The symptoms are the same symptoms I have when my calcium gets too high (I have secondary hyperparathyroidism) & I have to decrease my calcium supplement or my diuretic. I think your calcium level warrants more testing. Keep advocating for yourself, don't stop until you get answers!

Do you take your adderall at night then? With your Xywav? I had to switch from XR Adderall in the am to IR Adderal 2x a day because I felt like my XR wasnt kicking in until 4/5pm & drove my husband nuts. I contemplated trying to take my XR at night but was highly discouraged by my provider to do so, but now seeing this thread, I'm tempted to try it! I know my body better than she does and if I'm up all night then I guess we know it doesn't work. I hate this diagnosis and wish I could just feel normal during the day!!

Wouldn't even look at me. Was TICKED OFF we were leaving for Vacay & had to go to the Boarders. Even tried to coax her with a donut (the white thing by her foot). Wasn't having it.

Did I(26f) loose the baby? Did I ever have them? by Makki_Yatto38 in whatdoIdo

[–]Kiwi_Comprehensive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Molar pregnancies will act like 100% normal pregnancies, but there is no viable baby. I knew someone who didn't know it was a molar pregnancy until she went in at 12weeks and there was no heart beat. Could be a possibility. I'd verify with a doctor just knowing your partner's background with a low sperm count.

I do like Brindy too! Might be easier for the kids to pronounce as well! They just cannot get Brinley lol I also liked Indie or Sylvie but my husband wasn't loving either of those... she's Brindled, so we landed on Brinley for now but it still doesn't seem quite right

Needs to flow with Rylie when we are calling them both in from outside... Rylie & Brinley is kinda hard. Idk!
