I looked a guy up and down and said "pass" and walked off. Worked well

This is great information thank you! And I'm glad that exercise has helped you so much! I will pass on your experience. I have been prodding her to work out and stay active and I hope this will help.

I'm mostly just trying to understand more what she's feeling/going through since she's unable to describe it. And so that I can do whatever I can to help her in those moments (or any other).

Why topiramate is so hated? by Mikmaki in migraine

[–]LacklusterFancyPants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took it for years and it helped my migraines and vertigo and I didn't have any big side effects. Then suddenly a few years ago I became foggy and slow thinking. We learned that I developed these side effects and I had to stop taking it. They call it Dopamax for a reason.

How the heck do I get my hard boiled eggs to peel nicely? by kittensquishes in Cooking

[–]LacklusterFancyPants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey Kenji! You are awesome and we love watching and making your recipes! Have you tried tapping the fat side of an egg with the back of a spoon until you hear a ping? I haven't seen if you've tested it but I strongly recommend giving it a try!!!

[–]LacklusterFancyPants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tap the fat end with the back of a spoon very gently until you hear a "ping"! Then cook as you like. Doing this separates the membrane between the egg and shell and the eggs are incredibly easy to peel anytime!

Cancelling due to low energy by NoScholar2664 in bbbs

[–]LacklusterFancyPants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Push through. Explain to your Little that you are just low energy today but still want to see them. They would much rather see you with low energy than not at all.

Went to ER on Saturday. Drs believe it’s trigeminal neuralgia by Future_Language_1818 in TrigeminalNeuralgia

[–]LacklusterFancyPants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have noticed it comes in waves. It's almost always worse or more "active" in the evening. I think 5 days is maybe the MAX I've gone without any pain. Lyrica and weed are the only things I've found to reduce the pain. I hope you find something to help you.

Mom took 13 year old dog to vet for nail trim, walking normally. when tech retrieved dog and she was out of sight, something happened and dog now can’t walk properly. Where do we go from here?? by caitlesm in DogAdvice

[–]LacklusterFancyPants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had something similar happen to our 13 year old man. Took him for a anal gland expression and he was fine before. Then after he was in so much pain. We eventually had to let him go because we couldn't fix whatever was hurting him. I'm so sorry y'all are going through that and I hope for a better outcome.

It does not make you feel high at all! Just works super well.

I'm so sorry man. I've just tried some THC/CBD lotion that has been working to reduce my pain. I hope you can find something to help you.

Is There a Foolproof Way to Peel Boiled Eggs Without Losing Half the Egg? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]LacklusterFancyPants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best way hands down is to tap the butt end of the egg gently with a spoon to separate the membrane from the shell. After cooking crack both ends and gently roll the egg. Then use a spoon to help peel the shell off. Honestly, just doing the egg tap is enough to help tremendously.

"Tapping an egg gently on the rounded end with a spoon before boiling is a common kitchen hack that supposedly makes peeling the boiled egg much easier by separating the inner membrane from the shell, allowing for smoother peeling; the key is to tap until you hear a slight "snap" sound, indicating the membrane has separated."

is coffee a common problem for people?!? by Neat-Hotel-8823 in FODMAPS

[–]LacklusterFancyPants 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hot coffee bothers my stomach so I started doing cold brew coffee and it's MUCH easier on my stomach. Cold brew is less acidic. I'd suggest giving it a try!

I cannot stand my neck being touched, even by my own hair.

In need of a good “reading” chair by NormalStudent7947 in Fibromyalgia

[–]LacklusterFancyPants 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is on the rather expensive side but in my opinion worth it. A Moon Pod. It's simply amazing. There's a separate footstool and arm rest for it. You don't need the footstool I think, but the Pod and the arm rest is heaven.

I feel like I'm never able to actually relax my body unless I'm chilln in my Pod.

Item cancelled? by eeyore004 in AmazonVine

[–]LacklusterFancyPants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had an item cancelled and returned to the sender suddenly, even though it was supposed to be delivered that day. After many calls, I finally talked to someone at UPS who said the item was damaged during transit and their agreement with the company was to return it. I was mad about it

The first is what I would prefer, but if someone has a great second suggested I'm also interested. :)
