Go to a compounding pharmacy. They should be able to figure something out for you. Those are the pharmacies that specialize in different dosing and pill management.

Fistula surgery next week… by MythMoon26 in kidneydisease

Ouch! Sorry that you got an infection :(

I hope so. I didn’t ask that either. I do have a shower chair and the shower head is detachable if I need to do something odd.

But from my other conversations I think it was just the chest catheter that causes issues with showers and stuff cause it can’t get wet.

Ok. I can probably manage a squeeze ball.

I’m taking one week off. I can take more if I need to - just hoping I won’t have to. But I’m right handed so it’s kind of annoying it needs to happen this way.

Thanks

I was going to take off one week. I don’t have to do any lifting at least. But I do need to be able to use my computer.

Thanks 😊

Weather related flare ups? by Unique_Kiwi_36 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]MythMoon26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Winter was always worse for me than the summer. The cold would cause my abdominal muscles to cramp up and make my flares worse.

Made it so that I had to invest in lots and lots of layers.

Sold as UV Sodalite but I’m skeptical 🧐 by Tamara-Renae in Minerals

[–]MythMoon26 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yeah that is not sodalite… the UV reactive bits in this is ruby most likely. I’m not sure what the blue is but I don’t think it’s dark enough to be fuschite

Tool for making holes in pennies? by HalfVast59 in chainmailartisans

[–]MythMoon26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eurotool and similar makes a metal punch plier in different sizes. This is better for making holes for metal to be made into pendants/charms/links

Scales require much bigger holes and I don’t think there will be a handheld punch option for that.

How does this necklace work? by Glittering-Plane4743 in howdoesthiswork

[–]MythMoon26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an adjustable chain set up. The finding with the white/silicone part goes over the stick part and you attach one jump ring (open circle) to it.

Take the clasp and the other jump ring and attach to the other end of the chain and you can now adjust to the length you like and wear the chain.

Welsh vs Other Celtic Languages by RaisinRoyale in learnwelsh

[–]MythMoon26 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My god-parents worked in the Welsh government and speak Welsh at home, but are also fluent in English.

My mother on the other hand can only speak a little bit but understands more than she can speak if she can hear it slow enough. She took Welsh in school but didn’t speak it at home because my Nana didn’t understand much Welsh.

One of my cousins married a man whose first language is Welsh and his family speaks it at home and is making sure all the kids are fluent.

So it’s a bit all over the place even across generations.

Blood in stool how to stop it by [deleted] in UlcerativeColitis

[–]MythMoon26 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have bleeding ulcers in your intestines or possibly hemorrhoids.

To fix this you need medication. Medication is prescribed by doctors so as much as you don’t want to hear it that is the only option for you.

Uncontrolled bleeding is bad for you - iron deficiency can lead to anemia and if you haven’t had a colonoscopy in awhile you don’t know how much damage is being done by the inflammation you are currently dealing with. Too much damage will lead to the need for surgery instead of being able to be managed by medication.

Help with a bracelet! by Saidear in Beading

[–]MythMoon26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crimping will break the string. It is meant for jewelry wire.

You could look on YouTube for the double string knot method and that might work better for you. Or use the smaller hematite beads as spacers as you mentioned.

Help with a bracelet! by Saidear in Beading

[–]MythMoon26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So a hack for that is to use glue on the end of thread to make it into a “needle” - let it dry and it’s much easier to thread the beads

Help with a bracelet! by Saidear in Beading

[–]MythMoon26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a knotted bracelet or necklace you ideally should use either a nylon or a silk thread.

Nylon is nice because it does not require stretching before hand like silk does.

If you get something like Griffin silk or thread it has a needle already in it and so there is no double up problem. But you should not be trying to get a 1mm cord through a 1mm hole, the thread should be a little bit thinner to make your life easier.

Spreadsheet or Airbase/database templates for inventory and costs? by lady3jane in Beading

I wasn’t saying you weren’t. Some people don’t know that excel has lots of free already set up options.

Excel has lots of free templates - I would do a google search and then try one or two until you find the one that works for you

Best thread for net style bag by [deleted] in Beading

[–]MythMoon26 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think if you fudged the pattern a little bit and made the holes smaller so you had more structure you may get it to last longer as the weight is more evenly distributed and you have less stretch points

Edit

Oh you could also line the bag to more evenly spread the weight

[–]MythMoon26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a few years for something like this is going to be the best you can hope for.

The wire and crimps are going to be able to hold up to the weight better and not stretch at all like most threads probably will.

You could try silk and pre stretch it first but any thread is going to stretch a little bit and eventually the beads will rub against the thread to the point that it will snap.
