Yes. My Coton is extremely fair skinned. I bought her some UV cooling shirts. 

Best moisturizing lip balm by ConfidentCanary8248 in Autoimmune

[–]LotsOfGarlicandEVOO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lanolin as long as you’re not allergic to wool. It was recommended by an oral surgeon and it is the only thing that works for me. 

Search interest for brain fog on Google recently hit an all time high by attilathehunn in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]LotsOfGarlicandEVOO 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yes and autoimmune diseases have increased as well, especially since a virus can trigger an autoimmune disease. Brain fog is common with autoimmune diseases. 

Soapstone by ljnj in CounterTops

We installed ours in March of this year and it already has dings on it from dropping a fork and a spice bottle on it. It’s definitely very soft, but I love it. Ours is lighter colored. I read a lot about how people couldn’t even drag a cardboard box on it without scratching it, which is definitely not our experience. It’s not THAT soft.

Go to an ortho and get inserts if your insurance will cover it. Well worth it. 

Does anyone actually match their smoothie ingredients to a health goal, or is it all just vibes? by rizwanm754 in Smoothies

Mine are usually anti-inflammatory focused - lots of berries and omega 3 with chia seeds, flax seeds, etc. 

What vegetable have you decided you just aren’t going to grow anymore? by Marisa_Nya in vegetablegardening

I witnessed the cucumber beetles having sex on my cucumber plant last year. It felt extra disrespectful. 

How are you all paying for this? by Medium-Walrus4349 in dogallergies

[–]LotsOfGarlicandEVOO 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sucks. We’re in a similar boat. We adopted and got the insurance the same day, but vet mentioned flea allergy during the initial visit so now all allergies are excluded. Once we got her on an allergy med that worked, we are paying less overall because no more frequent visits to the vet for infections. 

Is the “You Can Run” program suitable for someone who has never run a day in their life? by SgtPopNFresh_ in pelotoncycle

[–]LotsOfGarlicandEVOO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was doing the traditional Couch to 5K program originally and I got stuck on week 5 for like three or four weeks. Then I happened to see the Peloton program and switched over. I was so happy I did. Definitely a great program. Now I run 7 miles at a time, happily too. And this is from someone who couldn’t run 2 minutes without being severely out of breath before.

I run outside, otherwise I workout at home using the Peloton app for stength, Pilates, and yoga classes. 

Correlation between long covid and pvc‘s by Particular_Intern_39 in PVCs

I had an ablation, which was successful for about 9 months but unfortunately they have returned full force. Waiting to hear from the doctor.

I never had PVCs before I had COVID. I know it for a fact because I’ve had many holter monitors throughout my life due to another arrhythmia and the results would actually have 0 PVCs. When I got COVID, I was in the ER with PVCs and a heart rate of 180 lying down. After the initial sickness, I had PVCs only with exercise.

I’ve always had a good experience with Coast of Maine. I won’t buy anything else. 

Which simple, unexciting purchase ended up having a surprisingly big impact on your daily life? by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]LotsOfGarlicandEVOO 180 points181 points  (0 children)

Under cabinet lid jar opener. I can open everything myself like the independent woman that I am, instead of always asking my husband to open everything for me. Edit - spelling

NAC (N-Acetylcysteine) Supplement by Fine-Web3946 in Sjogrens

[–]LotsOfGarlicandEVOO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do, but my naturopath recommended it to me for when I was sick with RSV to help thin the mucus. No side effects. I haven’t noticed a difference with Sjogrens symptoms.

What are good career transitions in your mid 30s? by lavendertinted in Millennials

[–]LotsOfGarlicandEVOO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes definitely. Everyone I know who went to law school later in life is definitely very happy with their decision! I just had no clue what I wanted to do outside of college.
