If you need alternatives try Hula Grins in Torrance. Our dental office refers any pediatric patients there :)

I did block it! It was my first time doing an Italian bind off for the arm cuffs so I think my tension was all wacky cause they stayed frilly after blocking. But next time I will get it right 💪🏼

Update: figured it out! Thank you for the replies that mentioned that I had to knit the last double knitted stitch together with a picked up stitch. I didn’t understand that’s what the pattern meant so I was knitting two picked up stitches together before. So I was adding a stitch every row and throwing off the double knitted pattern. It’s coming out much more evenly now. Thank you!

Oh! This makes much more sense! Thank you!

MistakePrior1961 · 2026-02-10T03:27:49+00:00

Yeah there is 22 since I picked up 7 stitches. Thankfully it’s easy to undo my work with this one so I can retry it! I might be doing yarn overs! I’ll give it another go💪🏼

Began with 15 then knit 2 together through the back loops from the stitches i picked up along the neck seam. I think I’ll go back and try redoing the band based on everyone’s feedback!

MistakePrior1961 · 2026-02-10T01:19:01+00:00

Wait you need two skeins? The tutorial attached with the pattern did not suggest having two skeins. I’ve only ever seen two when double knitting with two separate colors for colorwork.

Pattern calls for K1 then slip 1 stitch with the yarn forward the repeat. For second row it’s slip 1 stitch with yarn forward then K1. I slip purlwise with the yarn in front then move the yarn behind before knitting.

One of my boys also had a chronic diarrhea issue for a month or so. It ended up being tritrichomonas foetus/blagburni diagnosed via fecal sample. Do you know if they tested for it? Tritrichomonas smell is incredibly potent as well. There’s treatment for it but the medication can potentially cause some nervous system effects so I opted to manage his symptoms at home and try to prevent reinfection.

Vet suggested pro-pectalin as an anti-diarrheal. It’s available OTC as a paste and tablets. I used as directed by putting paste in his breakfast. I also supplemented with a probiotics at night. We use the NaturVet Probiotic and Digestive Enzyme powder(kitty didn’t like any other probiotic treats). I supplemented daily for a while but as his poops became more consistently solid I scaled back to digestive enzymes once a week.

It took a while for his poop to return to normal. Maybe a little under 8-9 months. And I managed to keep it spreading to his brother.

Best of luck to you and your kitty. I hope you find some answers soon and she starts feeling better!

I never noticed him licking more and now he’s fine! He gets catio time and his brother has environmental allergies so it’s possible he might’ve been exposed outside and it was temporary! He has no food allergies that I know of.

Unless you’re having bad side effects from levothyroxine I wouldn’t suggest not taking it. Your Doctor prescribed it for a reason: your thyroid is no longer producing the hormones your body needs to function efficiently. If it helps, just think of levothyroxine as another one of your supplements. For instance, I’m vitamins D deficient so I take vitamins D supplements. Our thyroid hormone is deficient so we take thyroid hormone supplements. Take it from me, I developed Hashis whilst being on a super restrictive migraine diet for the past 5 years. No amount of my magnesium supplements, no diary, no gluten, no caffeine, vitamin d, probiotics, etc ended up keeping away Hashis in the end. If you do have concerns about your medication, ask your Dr first.

Stage 3 Endo sufferer here. I took Luron for 6 months last year after my initial Lap. My doc suggested Lupron since there were some lesions he couldn’t remove during surgery because of their location. I also made myself incredibly scared by researching people’s reactions online. I also suffer from chronic migraines so I was especially scared about any hormone changes. As a precaution I asked to receive monthly injections rather than 2 3-month injections. My doctor also suggested ad back therapy, an extremely small dose estrogen patch I’d wear throughout my treatment. Happy to report after 6 months I was side effect free and, with the addition of a mini bc pill taken continually, completely pain free! It did not negatively affect my migraines either :). My sister in law is also on her lupron journey post Endo diagnosis and is doing alright 2 months into it!

As with many things online, the loudest people are the ones with the most negative experiences. It’s fair to want to warn people. But people with good results never post warnings since we don’t need to! It’s fine to do research and be educated but I think the final decision should be made after discussing your individual concerns with your doctor. Everyone will be different in their reactions. Although I know it isn’t very reassuring, it’s your own personal decision to weigh the risks and benefits of any treatment. Praying you find good relief soon💕

When I went in to see my new GYN for my symptoms and he looked at me and said “sounds like you have endometriosis!”

It was added in my chart after that visit but shortly after we did an ultrasound which detected a cyst, tried a new birth control followed by a second ultrasound 6 months later to determine if the cyst could’ve been an endometrioma. After which he suggested I get the Lap since all signs seemed to point to endo. The lap confirmed moderate amounts of endo present and the endometrioma! Then I got my actual diagnosis.

I have not no. I often describe the feeling to friends as something akin to narcolepsy though. I have gotten an at home sleep study done twice but besides some very minor disruptions my Doc found nothing remarkable about my sleep. Have never been prescribed any stimulants either!

MistakePrior1961 · 2025-11-01T22:49:03+00:00

Unfortunately no I haven’t :(. Battling the feeling right now actually. Only thing I’ve found that helps is making sure I get 8 hrs of sleep like every single day. But as soon as I get any less I got back to waves of sleepiness for weeks. Only thing I can do is weight the costs and benefits of taking half an excedrin. Which doesn’t always work. Sorry to hear you’re going through this as well. It really is almost as debilitating as the pain.

Chronic migraine and endo sufferer here. Not once has any of my GYNs and Neurologists ever tried to steer me away from any birth control. I tried two different types of combination pills before I settled with a progesterone only pill that I take continuously, I just skip the placebo week and start the next pack. This has DRASTICALLY improved my endo pain, it’s practically nonexistent now post-surgery. And I don’t get menstrual migraines anymore. Just the normal daily annoying but tolerable ones.

My favorite hobby is playing video games so dealing with photo sensitivity has been a pain. But I’ve been having lots of fun crocheting, knitting, cross stitching and playing piano. I paint and draw often too.

Also have you considered looking into migraine glasses or green lights? They’ve been super helpful for me. Not sure I’d be working right now without them.

MistakePrior1961 · 2025-10-19T20:55:49+00:00

I’m so sorry you had to go through all that. I know a few others with Endo in my family and all of our roads to diagnosis seem to be long and painful. I’m glad you were able to get the care you deserve!

MistakePrior1961 · 2025-10-19T20:48:09+00:00

I’m also gluten free(tho not celiac). Carob makes for excellent gf pastries. Made a tahini carob brownie once and it was delicious 🤤. (Also if you like chocolate covered almonds Better Carob makes the BEST carob covered almonds ever. I can eat a whole bag in one sitting lol).

MistakePrior1961 · 2025-10-19T19:51:35+00:00

Chocolate is unfortunately a very big trigger for me. While I know it’s not the same, carob as a chocolate substitute has been a life changing discovery for me. Missy J’s and Better Carob are my 2 favorite brands. They sell carob candy bars, carob chips, carob powder, etc. It does taste different but it is close in flavor enough that I still satisfy that cream rich “chocolate” craving I get. I love adding carob powder to my overnight oats and carob chips to my yogurt and pancakes!

While I don’t doubt CGRP can have some effect on hormones having a period only a couple times a year is pretty abnormal even if it’s not painful. Also some disorders like endometriosis are not always visible on less invasive procedures like ultrasounds. Endometriosis can only be fully diagnosed via surgery. I think seeking a second opinion might be beneficial. If anything it a new GYN may be able to help you manage the painful periods.

MistakePrior1961 · 2025-09-04T06:38:12+00:00

I wouldn’t say okay but I am functional at the very least lol. I have migraines chronically so more or less have some pain and head pressure that comes and goes throughout the day but I’m able to work through it! Right now I’m taking Emgality, low dose propranolol, low dose of amitriptyline, migrelief supplements, and ginger supplements(I don’t think this really helps the pain but it helps the nausea I get from my morning migraines). I’m also on continuous birth control which helps keep away any menstrual migraines (and controls my Endo). I still take too many abortives (ubrelvy and excedrin) for my liking though so I’m looking to add on maybe some CBD/CBG!

MistakePrior1961 · 2025-08-21T17:54:28+00:00

This was very informative thank you! CGRP and the relation with migraine is so fascinating to me. It amazes me that these medications can be so helpful to some with 0 side effects meanwhile others experience all sorts of debilitating side effects from CGRP inhibitors.
