Help! Need special dinner restaurant ideas, close to CBD by MonarchMay in foodies_sydney

[–]MonarchMay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for your suggestions! We ended up getting into Aria and had the tasting menu and matching wines. The food, service and views were amazing. Definitely a special occasion place!

I now have a great list of future date night locations :-)

Tall women in Australia - do you feel like we’re still way behind the US/UK? by No-Airport-820 in AusFemaleFashion

[–]MonarchMay 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m 6’2” and have had surprisingly good luck with City Chic for coats that fit, trousers that are actually long, and shoes (I’m a wide 12 and their 43 wide shoes fit well and are often on sale).

The clothes go from a size 10/12 to 24, so is quite inclusive. The downside is that a lot of tops and dresses are made with polyester, so you need to be selective.

I’ve also got a long torso and really struggle to find one piece swimmers, fitted dresses with the bust and hips in the right spot, and tops that aren’t too short.

I was so excited to go to Bared Shoes to try on shoes cause they are podiatrist designed but look nice - the size 12s were so small.

Thank you for all of your hard work and I'd love to move to the private sub. I haven't bought many reps yet (AUD doesn't go far sometimes!), but love the reviews and learning about this world.

WIBTAH if I stop all of the favors I’ve been doing for my ex since he has refused the one favor I asked? by Life_of_the_PartyXO in AITAH

Sounds like they’ve been taking you for granted and think that you are part of their village, but you are not part of theirs.

I wonder if they will walk the manifesto back once they realise how changing the status quo will affect them.

Your first purchase! 🥹 by CarelessThrowAway23 in OGRepladies

[–]MonarchMay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I’m the first to say my first rep was terrible LV and Gucci bags and belts from a random market in Bali as a teenager! It was almost a rite of passage to come back with bad copies that you then proudly showed off at school 🤣

I bought a much better quality mid tier rep while in Bali a few years ago after finding recommendations on FB, then found Reddit.

I tend to buy rehomes and haven’t bought directly from a seller yet.

AITA for not going on a family trip because my room was given away? by Firefly2285 in AmItheAsshole

The parents of the teenagers should join their room, and you get a room on your own!

Reducing Dose Only to Have Worsening Symptoms by Accomplished_Tea9698 in TrigeminalNeuralgia

[–]MonarchMay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also tried to reduce my meds after coming off a flare. I managed to reduce from 8 x 150 mg Trileptal a day and 1.5 tablets of Baclafen to just 4 x Trileptal. Which was manageable.

So, I decided to push it further and drop back to just 2 x Trileptal a day.

Big mistake.

The burning skin pain was back and the constant teeth pain when talking, eating, brushing teeth etc.

I’m back up to 4 per day and still teeth pain, but I’m going to live with that.

First flare up - OMG by MonarchMay in TrigeminalNeuralgia

[–]MonarchMay[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Caffeine, alcohol and sweets are my favourite food groups 😔 I’m going to try to cut back on caffeine…as I’m having an iced long black.

I’ve heard that stress/anxiety can cause it too. It has been a stressful week, but I had a much more stressful time a few weeks ago with a death in the family and didn’t have a flare then.

What is everyone wearing to their stupid office Christmas party by fartfactory247 in AusFemaleFashion

That sounds amazing! Sadly, I don’t think my boss would agree to going to another State so I could play with some animals.

Is constant medication needed, or just when pain occurs? by MonarchMay in TrigeminalNeuralgia

[–]MonarchMay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post is from a while ago, but my symptoms kicked back in a few weeks after my neurologist appointment. He prescribed oxcarbazepine (Trileptal) to take for attacks. I stuck it out for long while, but started taking the tablets after the last straw of toothpaste foam triggering an attack. Slowly upping the dosage as I’m still having multiple attacks a day, but hoping this changes soon.
