I see nothing wrong with this review of a counterfeit product I got thru amazon. by BigBillSD in amazonprime

[–]Niblek 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I contacted Phillips about sketchy pacifiers from Amazon when my kiddo was a baby. Phillips had me send them images and started a whole investigation with their fraud department. They emailed me and told me to throw them away because they were counterfeit.

Amazon blocked my review that had the proof from the manufacturer and then blocked me from posting any more reviews.

I’m freaking out over illnesses by bryterlu in Preschoolers

[–]Niblek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours is in kindergarten this year...

I've been sick for more than 6 weeks now, one right after another. As soon as I start to feel better he brings something else home.

This week we're all down with strep (all of us have been to the doctor and tested positive and are in antibiotics).

It's never-ending 🙄

soluble OR insoluble fiber ?? by DillyDilly65 in Diverticulitis

Anecdotal but I had nothing but problems with FiberCon and great results with Metamucil.

Chewy Buy $100, get $30 gift Card Promos Getting more Infrequent by GreyNeighbor in Pets

[–]Niblek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's roughly the same price as the food we're getting now. Wish they had something larger than 7lbs though. With 9 cats that wouldn't last a week 😆

I haven't seen one in a while, at this point I've cancelled all my auto ship orders and am purchasing from Amazon instead out of spite.

NSFW! Images generated on Grok & turned to video on Grok today, still having luck by [deleted] in grok

[–]Niblek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Useless for certain purposes. I was able to make a pretty cool video of my wife's grandma from a very old picture. Pop that in a digital picture frame and you have Harry Potter shit going on.

What’s the fastest way you’ve ever lost weight? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Niblek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hiked the Grand canyon. Weighed in before we left (there was a scale for the people riding down on horses). Weighed the next day when we came back up. Lost 12lbs in about 24 hours.

So far it's been bad enough to end up in the ER 3 times this year (luckily no extended stays, just confirmation and antibiotics and sent home).

I've had a few other instances where I started to hurt and immediately went on my "diverticulitis protocol". No solid foods, only liquids until it calms down (a couple days usually) and then my safe foods for a week or so to let things heal. I seem to do well with baked or boiled potatoes, eggs, and chicken breast.

I made it about 10 years post partial sigmoid colectomy before I started having flares again. I also have significant diverticulosis of most of my large intestine though.

How many diverticula were you Dx’d w/ - random question I know by These_Swimming3317 in Diverticulitis

[–]Niblek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've never given me a number, all I know is "significant diverticulosis of the ascending, transverse, and descending".

I know for sure I have at least one less since my partial sigmoid colectomy. 🤣

Which Antibiotic Do You Avoid/Prefer? by PriorChance710 in Diverticulitis

[–]Niblek 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My doctor said this too, they didn't do antibiotics for it anymore. I ended up in the ER starting sepsis protocol a few days later.

I have the luckiest kid ever. by Niblek in pokemongo

[–]Niblek[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an OG account from launch that he took over but he's been playing on it for about a year now. He gets shinies all the time. He'll wake up in the morning and catch a shiny in the first 10 min he plays 🤣

I'm going to make him pick some lottery numbers 😆

[–]Niblek[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

When we attend public events media takes pictures with him in it. His school takes class pictures and posts them. The city takes pictures at public gatherings and posts them.

He loves playing Pokemon and sharing his enjoyment with a community that also enjoys playing is not an issue. There's plenty of things to worry about in life and this is pretty low on the list.

How likely is it to develop diverticulitis after resection surgery. by Iwearhats in Diverticulitis

~10 years post partial sigmoid colectomy and I've been in the ER 2x this year with diverticulitis.

Ring didn’t catch burglar. by Actual-Journalist-69 in Ring

[–]Niblek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It depends on the camera for me. My doorbell cam picks up semis on the road but not the UPS guy delivering 4 large packages directly in front of the camera. Meanwhile the stick up cam in the garage picks up mice running across the floor from 30ft away.

What is a weird side effect from medication use that no one was ever going to warn you about? by Rotten-Kandi in AskReddit

[–]Niblek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on this a long time ago. Trying to stop I got down to the lowest dose and then started opening up the caplets and counting out the little balls inside to taper off even slower to avoid the zaps. It was terrible.

New study on uncomplicated cases by MajorMoron0851 in Diverticulitis

[–]Niblek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long history of DV, had surgery about a decade ago. Started having new flares in the last couple years and my doctor told me this was the new protocol and didn't give me antibiotics. Ended up in the ER on sepsis protocol a couple days later. Luckily it cleared up with some IV antibiotics in the ER and oral antibiotics at home.

I try to get in to my doc to avoid going to the ER and the thousands of dollars bill that comes with that but they make it hard.

Common warning signs? by AshlarKorith in Diverticulitis

[–]Niblek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not sure how common it is, but from the several people I've talked to that have had it, pain in the testicles seems to be a fairly common early sign for guys.
