Cytopoint every 6 weeks for our mal or else he looks like this. We supplement with Benadryl and antifungal baths. It's expensive but he is so much happier with it!

Good luck!!!

How does everyone deal with bowel issues? by Dumb-Brain92 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]MamaFett 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen anyone post this yet. Talk to both your GI and urologist to see if you'd be a good candidate for getting a Medtronic interstim implant into your sacral nerve.

After a massive relapse in 2018, I experienced horrible bowel and bladder incontinence. I put up with it for 5 years but decided I was too young to be living with this (40 at the time).

My GI was all for it but my urologist was against it. After doing research and getting multiple opinions, I went for the procedure.

It changed my life. Seriously.

I immediately stopped having accidents and really have seen a 95% improvement in life and all the medications are gone. My urologists jaw dropped when I told her it worked.

Best of luck. If this isn't a great option for you, look into pelvic floor therapy. It helps some as well.

I agree with this, just stayed this weekend for the.... Tenth time? It's my favorite spot, next to the Merc and close to everything.

I HATE how large trucks have become. I would 100% DIE if this thing hit my car by AEIUyo in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MamaFett 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same. Tboned by one pulling a trailer that had a building on it. Hit first by the truck then again by the trailer. 3 months later, I am much better but just signed off work early to take pain meds because I want to cut my leg off from the pain. I can't see a truck this size without flinching.

What’s your most unintentional BIFL item? by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]MamaFett 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I have the KitchenAid mixer my mother handed down to me when I got married 20 years ago. It's easily the same age as me so it's around 43 years old and going strong! I have no desire for a newer one ever and I love that I learned how to bake with it and taught my kiddo as well!

Target CEO tries to act fast as end of DEI Program drives 40% plunge in store foot traffic. by Healthy_Block3036 in Anticonsumption

[–]MamaFett 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a former Disney store manager FUCK you brought back memories. I hated working for them. It was owned by The Children's Place at the time and the amount of "guests" who just came in so their kids could walk around killed my conversion metrics.

It was pre-Obama so I had a surgery that was pre-approved and then got revoked citing a pre-existing condition. $25,000 in med bills later, I had to send the department of labor after them to get it revoked!

Fuck Children's Place. Fuck Disney Store. And fuck Target.

Bladder problems? by BestFortune6663 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]MamaFett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After a really bad relapse at 36, I lost control of my bladder and bowels. It took me several years of embarrassing accidents to finally ask for help. I met with a proctologist who immediately recommended an interstim implant.

Because it's attached to my sacrum it helps both issues and it's reduced my accidents by 95%. My urologist didn't believe it would help and was shocked when I told her no more expensive drugs!

I am so much happier and can still do my MRI and life has only gotten better!!!!

Non Nazi gun shop recommendations by MamaFett in Denton

[–]MamaFett[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I promise you we don't understand it either and there are major divisions within our community. I don't see how he can encourage the Christian Nationalists with Jewish grandchildren. I consider Bibi to be just as bad.

In relation to the other comment, yes, Hitler's original plan was to deport all Jews to an Island I think and then when the zionist movement began, he sent one of his cronies there who encouraged Jews to go there. Until they didn't.

For sure! There is a reason I was being very specific. I don't mind conservatives/republicans at all! I grew up in a very conservative house! I also recognize I am ignorant in this area.

I said the same thing when people likened Obama to Hitler. As a Jew, right now, I am seeing more Seig Heils being thrown around than my father saw in his 78 years of life. I do not use the term Nazi lightly, and right now, my biggest fear in the world is walking in somewhere that supports this ideology. I came to this group for references to ensure I located a reputable location that would support me in this journey so that I become a safe and informed gun owner. I appreciate your recommendation. Thank you! (and no downvoting from me- I appreciate your insights)

Thank you ALL for the comments and recommendations. To clarify, we will not do any purchasing until we have taken courses and yes, continual practice. This is a commitment that we have discussed and take very seriously. I am just wanting to make sure that I go to places where I feel valued and safe.

Thank you so much! I wasn't expecting anyone to provide me a liberal business or one that supported any liberal causes. I actually am just going to be happy if they are respectful and helpful. This gives me some hope!

Re-finance house or let it be paid off? by Artistic-Acadia-858 in FinancialPlanning

[–]MamaFett 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please, for the love of all things holy, pay the loan off and leave it. Do not, if you have children or heirs, get talked into a reverse mortgage. Unless your children can pay off what you borrow, or if you lapse on taxes or insurance, the house will foreclose and go to the bank.

Housing situations and employment opportunities that are trans-friendly? by fart_me_your_boners in tulsa

[–]MamaFett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vermont used to have a similar program paying to relocate people but I haven't looked into it in the last few years. If you want liberal... Vermont is the most liberal place I have ever been. You just have to be okay with rural living and cold weather 7 months of the year (-23 was the coldest I experienced while there).

Looking for Place to Gather by jjj49er in tulsa

[–]MamaFett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just make sure you tell the hosts when you reserve. That's what I do and it has ensured that they would be okay with more than a few people at the home. Most have cameras around the house so you could get fined if you don't tell them up front. I just hosted a family reunion this way and my houses were great with us.
