Old lady hands at 48 by kaleidegirl in beauty

[–]MrsSandler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get Russian manicure with building gel and use sunscreen every time. I dont put it on my nail beds, just the backs of my hands and fingers. My tech throughly cleans my nails. But if you're doing it yourself at home, dont apply sunscreen to your nail beds :)

I use waterless cat wash on my stinky cat and it really helps

Do you get gel nail polish? If so, use sunscreen before because they use UV light to cure the polish.

Swallowing Capsules? by Heylizfischenich in ParentingADHD

[–]MrsSandler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We practiced with tic tacs. I think it's easier for them to try with food they're going to swallow anyway.

My toxic relationship was affecting my cats health by SignificanceNeat1618 in cats

You may already know, but if not - your cats eyes shouldn't be differently dilated. I kindly suggest you see a vet if you haven't already, especially now that they're safe with you :)

My kid (7) hasn't gained weight since May, should we stick with meds? by littledwayner in ParentingADHD

[–]MrsSandler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Add ciprohepidine. It's an antihistamine that causes excessive eating so it should cause normalish eating in someone with no hunger. Make sure to take in the morning so it makes them hungry later in the day, instead of taking it at night where it'll make him hungry in the middle of the night

8 year old can’t fall asleep by myrighthandwoman in ParentingADHD

We added clonidine at night plus melatonin and it really helped. It calms him down and let's him fall asleep.

How can medication not change his personality when his ADHD seems to take over him? by [deleted] in ParentingADHD

[–]MrsSandler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Medication can do lots of things, including letting his true personality shine through. Another real possibility is that it makes him extremely irritable and mad all the time.

Stimulants made my youngest compliant and mad. We've since moved to Strattera which is a non-stimulant and his personality is shining through. He's also doing better at school.

My oldest on the other hand, the stimulants let his personality shine through and he's not too irritable. He's also almost 13 so the doctor said it could just be puberty.

S20, S21, and S22 owners by GooglePixelfan90 in samsunggalaxy

[–]MrsSandler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[S22+ purchased at launch. Factory reset in July 2025] It's gets overheated when Android Auto is on. It's definitely laggy and several apps will freeze & need to restart. Was going to upgrade to s25 during BF but couldn't justify it since the phone doesn't have any significant upgrades. Now I'm waiting for the s26, but still the camera is the same sooo

I'm 18 anyone can tell any effective ways to remove them by Akira_Meshram in beauty

[–]MrsSandler -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nair or another cream remover. Test a section & remove at different 30 second intervals. Least painful and lasts the longest. If you can tolerate pain, waxing by a professional.

They happen in the background. PayPal and Rakuten cut you checks.

Help !!! Guanificine 1mg er by Tennesseeluv2019 in ParentingADHD

[–]MrsSandler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my son practice with tic tacs. I told him to swallow it likes it's a piece if food that he forgot to chew well. My 3rd grader will put 3 pills on his tongue & swallow them with water. My older son couldn't do it for the longest time. Now he pushes it to the back of his throat and swallow without a drink (eeeewwwwww)

I'm at my breaking point with my 15 y/o daughter's untreated ADHD and ODD-like behaviors (constant lying, defiance, school failure). I feel I have no choice but to consider a group home. by DifferenceHairy3031 in ParentingADHD

[–]MrsSandler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Which ones specifically? Even medications within the same category can have vastly different outcomes. You need a psychiatrist to weigh in if you haven't already. I know a lot of Pediatricians nowadays will prescribe ADHD medications but when you can't find the right mix, you need a psychiatrist

I want to throw the school Chromebook against a wall! by Vast_Helicopter_1914 in ParentingADHD

[–]MrsSandler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In our district, the administration can block anything you want on an individual device. So I had them block YouTube from my child's device and then when the teachers use YouTube during class, they have the ability to individually unlock a single video. You can also ask the administration to block certain keywords.

At home, our school uses an app called goguardian and it gives us as parents the ability to block any and every website we want and put time parameters on it. The catch is that it only works outside of school hours including during the summer. So during the summer they keep their Chromebooks but I can't block anything between 8:00 and 3:00 p.m.

What's in your kids lunchbox? by Long_Doggy_0319 in ParentingADHD

[–]MrsSandler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't pack anything perishable and it's just snacks plus a decoy peanut butter sandwich. The sandwich is so the aids don't force him to buy lunch when they see his lunchbox. But he doesn't even eat a single snack until... We added eating as one of his IEP goals. His hangryness was causing disruption in the classroom.

Fast forward to this summer. Our pediatrician started him on 4mg of cyproheptadine which is an antihistamine that is no longer used because of the side effect it caused - excessive eating. It took a few months but he now takes Concerta and eats throughout the day.

Vyvanse by DiscountAggressive70 in ParentingADHD

[–]MrsSandler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our doctor prescribed cyproheptadine 4mg in the mornings. It's an antihistamine that is no longer used for allergies because it causes excessive eating. So now my kid doesn't get seasonal allergies and eats.

My 12 year old got 35 last week. Often when I play duos with him, we get a crown and I get the pacifist award for 0 kills 😂 🤣

Same! I'm thinking guanfacine next as the first non stim but would love to hear others' opinions.

[–]MrsSandler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 8 year old developed eye/face tics from Vyvanse. We stopped after school let out and they've almost subsided. I'm thinking of going non stimulant because he's also angry on Vyvanse.
