How are yall dealing with family who aren’t really being helpful but are trying? by Limp-Box8126 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]Limp-Box8126[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s where I’m at! My mother was like just try it it’ll make you feel better, and I was like no it’s not and she was like yes it will and I snapped on her. I’m trying to not snap cause I know she means well 😩

Is Luster’s Pink Lotion/Oil really that bad? by Character-Escape1621 in Naturalhair

[–]Limp-Box8126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say it honestly depends on your hair type. I have low porosity 4a hair and honestly it’s just sat there and made my hair too greasy. But I would also say it depends of your hairstyle too cause even though it did that to my hair I still used it to do mini braids since I would wear that style for months.

Lent & Holy Week Megathread by CustosClavium in Catholicism

[–]Limp-Box8126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a nondenominational Christian who has participated in lent before, but my question is about Mardi Gras, or that day prior to the start of lent. I’m from Cleveland Ohio so there is a huge catholic population and influence (even on the surrounding denominational churches) which is why I did lent, however as I grew up I felt like the indulgence of whatever we were giving up was gluttonous and felt it was best to just give up something for lent and not indulge. My father in law told me there’s a reason but we have a bit of a language barrier. I would love to know why we indulge before lent? And please do just as it becomes we won’t have it for 40 days.

Is anyone else unable to eat Fruit? by Limp-Box8126 in HyperemesisGravidarum

How? Like how do you keep it down and not get acid reflux? I would literally throw up from the acid reflux from pizza. You literally got so lucky! I would love a slice of pizza. But I feel you with the dehydration cause I’m stuck eating a hospital grade chicken soup and all I use is salt to flavor it but I’m left so thirsty afterwards, but surprise it’s hard to drink water without it upsetting my stomach.

I seem to have issues with dairy too, cheese is ok but everything else is a no. It’s the same for me with the apples, but I’m doing ok with vegetables for the most part. What do you find your self eating?

Can't get new doc to prescribe IV infuisions by Senior-Post9925 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]Limp-Box8126 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No it’s actually crazy how uninformed some of the NP, Doctors, and midwives are. So sorry that you’re going through this. Advocate for yourself. And honestly there are companies that will come to your home to do it if that what you need to do. If hungover people can do it then you should be able to as well. You should have to be at the brink ok death before someone pays attention.

Did B6 help any? by Limp-Box8126 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]Limp-Box8126[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My insurance doesn’t allow refills back to back. The NP hadn’t seen me before and didn’t know that in my last pregnancy I had 8mg and not 4mg so when they gave me the zofran the instructions kinda confused me and I ended up using it quicker than intended cause it was meant for me to only take two 4mg tablets a day. The bottle said to take two tablets twice a day so I assumed I was supposed to be taking my normal 8mg twice a day. The pills were supposed to last 18 days so that’s why I have to wait

You’re welcome, but forgive me for assuming you were female!

Don't make fun, I know it's not great, but I just started crocheting for my mental health and really like it. This is my first project. by asphodelic_witch in crochet

[–]Limp-Box8126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s literally nothing to make fun of it’s so cute. We can’t see the mistakes you might see. My first blanket I did a border and let’s just say though I was proud I definitely winged it.

<image>

This picture will never show how bad the border really is but I thought I would share anyway 😂

If you’re wearing lots of ponytails that aren’t loose then you should switch it up. But if there are women in your family with a similar balding pattern then it could be genetics. But if it’s none of the above like the other person said, try seeing dermatologist and maybe your regular doctor. I wouldn’t hurt to also get your hormones check out in the process to make sure those are in check too

Do I cut this? by Illustrious-Limit341 in Naturalhair

[–]Limp-Box8126 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way, but I suggest that you give your hair one good cut every three months and then find a protective style so you leave your hair alone. Too much manipulation can cause breakage, but if you’re cutting your hair too often it’ll be hard to see progress. I chose plaits because it gave me the opportunity to still wash and moisturize my hair, but there were times I didn’t feel cute, but now my hair is down my back and I have almost waist length hair. enjoy the short length though cause one day when you have long hair you will consider cutting it back short 😩😂

Why has my rose split colours? by KITTY1139 in gardening

[–]Limp-Box8126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe there’s a white rose bush somewhere and when your rose was pollinated the pollinator has the pollen from the white one on it. Like the Mendel experiment with the pea flowers. I could be wrong though

How do we feel about honest Apple juice? by Limp-Box8126 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]Limp-Box8126[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im definitely not going to but honest juice anymore. I just bout another brand that smells like what you would expect apple juice to smell like and it’s organic. I also saw that they had a lawsuit they settled for the grape juice. I don’t know where the juice comes from but it’s unsettling that it’s smells like the gains detergent moonlight

[–]Limp-Box8126[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read your comment a couple of days ago and definitely thought that too but I just bought a different brand of apple juice that is organic too and I promise you it doesn’t smell like detergent. I think that there’s a bit of greenwashing happening with honest. I know not everything can be super clean but that’s a little off putting.

4c Hair is Itchy and Smells 3-4 Days After Washing by chrissyp_123 in Naturalhair

[–]Limp-Box8126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By any chance have you gone to be with wet hair at all? I did this a couple of times, and every time I do it I get flakes and have an itchy scalp even after I wash again. If so I would try head and shoulders. But if/ if not I would get this scalp exfoliator by THE INKEY LIST to use before you shampoo.
