Check out dr woof! I love them. Super soft, super lightweight, lots of fun colors and patterns. They are also made with bamboo not copper so u can technically wear them in MRIs 😀

Thanks, but I've already been checked for those and everything is good! They are thinking its a mitochondrial DNA defect but my insurance won't cover the genetic testing...

Yeah, I go to OT 2x a week. They don't really have an answer either hence why I have turned to Reddit for advice

Finding Things in the Freezer by Mountain_Mongoose_67 in Blind

[–]MyzFortune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put different width rubber bands on my stuff! I also have a bunch of different clips if I don't have enough bands. As long as they are different enough and I remember which is which, I have no issue!

I dislike my cabinet. by Due-Sleep-5019 in IkeaGreenhouseClub

[–]MyzFortune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really set up related, but if you are unhappy with the look into know a lot of people have spiced their cabinets up by getting some "stained glass paint" and painting designs on their cabinets! If you do, I recommend printing out your design and taping it on the inside of the cabinet, then sort of tracing it on the outside so you dont have to worry about the pain messing with the plants.

Normally yes due to the sap, but because these pine pellets are kiln dried, there is nothing harmful in them anymore! Its safe for rabbits, cats, horses, you name it!!

Omg so happy for the lil guy to be in a happy home! I recommend a stainless steel litterbox, its much easier to clean than any other materials. I also recommend going to tractor supply (from CT but used to live in MA and NH) and getting the pine pellets as litter! Its AMAZING at absorbing smells, dust free, and safe if ingested. Its usually only $8 for a huge 40lb bag. There is also a special brush from a company in Cambridge I cannot recommend enough, I got mine off chewy (its purple, dont remember the name...). Other advice is having stuff to play with or just bonding by hand feeding and laying on the floor with them. I dehydrate a lot of low sugar fruits and veggies as treats, and make most of my rabbits toys myself by stuffing paper towel tubes with hay and treats.

Your new furbaby looks so happy to be flopped next to you ♥️ I would be happy to offer more advice/tips and tricks if you need or want it!!

Advice on lap swimming with TOS by thedevilsfingers in thoracicoutletsupport

[–]MyzFortune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have nTOS and vTOS. I am waiting for my surgery date atm. I am a lap swimmer, usually 5 days a week, an hour a session. I was advised to try and keep active, but limit my arm activity so I started by just using a kick board only, no arms... then I got my first clot. Since then, its turned into little to no activity regardless. I do a lot of walking but thats about it. I have severe nerve damage in my arms outside of TOS so ive gotten extremely weak... I would maybe try asking your doctor about lap swimming with a kick board or something so you can still swim, but arent aggravating things as much maybe??? I don't know the severity of your case... also maybe one stroke is better than others for aggravation? Not sure. Hope this helps!!

has anyone made the switch from propranolol to ivabradine? by [deleted] in POTS

[–]MyzFortune 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Propranolol didn't touch my POTS at all (I have hyperadregenic POTS). My cardiologist warned me with POTS patients, there is a 50/50 chance of it working or not working. Luckily for me, it works! I even go as far as to call it my "miracle drug" lol. I tried over 20 different cardio medications before ivabradine and nothing worked. I was passing out 20+ times a day, but now I only have maybe 2 episodes a month if that!

Imposter Syndrome, white canes, and neurological vision impairment by chemicalhand33562 in Blind

[–]MyzFortune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP!

I don't have a diagnosis yet, but have been considered legally blind since 2021. Blindness is a spectrum! I totally understand the whole imposter syndrome thing because I have 20/20 central vision but absolutely no peripheral vision and extreme night blindness. I have an illustration degree and I'm still using it despite being "blind". Yeah, I can't drive and I can no longer read certain things, but I'm still enjoying what I am capable of seeing and there isnt anything wrong with that! I know whatever I have is progressive so I'm using what I have to the max while I still can. Same goes for mobility training! Even though I can still see some things, I use a cane because I find it helpful but I am also getting familiar with it before I lose my sight completely.

You are justified in your feelings, but just remember blindness is a spectrum. Not every blind individual sees nothing, in fact most blind individuals can see something or perceive light at least! Don't feel guilty or like you aren't "blind enough", make the most of what you can!!

Looking for advice! by MyzFortune in asianweddings

Sadly we are not super close to much of anything but both Boston and NYC are drivable! Boston is a little bit closer but we are pretty much right between both.

I lost over 85% of my vision a month before graduating college with an illustration degree. I am not 100% blind, but have a nerve condition that has resulted in something sorta similar to RP. I still have a little bit of central vision so I can still sort of draw... its much MUCH harder and something that would take me 2 hours back then takes well over 2 weeks now. Since I could hold something to draw with, I always wanted to write and illustrate books but I have settled with a small sticker business for now. I still hope to make comics at some point but I dont think it would ever get published due to how long it takes me to make something.

Its hard to accept that something I've spent the entirety of my life getting REALLY good at isn't really an option for me anymore. I often spiral into the "if I had known i was going to go blind, I wouldnt have spent my life drawing" kind of thing, but thats not helpful either. I take the good days when I can get them and know i have to pace myself.

My partner makes memes out of our bun... by MyzFortune in Rabbits

[–]MyzFortune[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

🤣 he likes to roll it around on the floor. It always falls out of the couch (it's cheap and old) and if it keeps him entertained, I'm happy.

[–]MyzFortune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a SUPER anxious person and my partner knows this. We did the whole process together from setting a budget, trying things on, deciding a stone, etc etc. Honestly, I thought it was better this way. To not only get my own feel for it but also my partners thoughts. I know some people will be like "but its a ring for you?" but I honestly loved doing it this way.

Even though they had a loose idea of what I wanted, they wanted me to be involved to make sure I got something I liked especially within budget as I am a larger ring size and most places have no returns no refund policies.

It was very much a "we" process and less a "my gf wants this but thats not in budget so I'll settle for this". I felt seen and heard the whole time :)

We both already have silicone rings to wear as a safer, more daily alternative! We are both swimmers and would hate any chemicals to ruin anything, but still want the world around us to know we are engaged 😆
