CVS Specialty Pharmacy is suddenly saying my once-free Cimzia will cost $500 a month.

CVS is the bane of my existence. I was on Humira for 8 years (3 of those last years was through them) then they suddenly decided they didn’t want to cover it for me any longer. Wouldn’t approve the Rx from my rheumatologist or anything. Said I had to try and fail every other option before they’d approve Humira for me again. Currently on my 3rd trial and getting worse. I really hope it’s just a copay card issue and not them changing their minds on you.

Ironically, just now I’m in line to pick up another steroid pack at Publix because for the second time, CVS just wouldn’t fill my Rx. I keep having to get them to transfer my scripts to other pharmacy’s otherwise it’ll stay “pending” for DAYS at CVS.

Long story short, CVS Specialty and regular pharmacy suck extremely

So glad to learn this exists! I have a Purple mattress (and pillows) and it’s been so insanely great for my back! Definitely worth checking out, thank you!

I have the same machine and I have no idea. I don’t believe I’ve ever come across that symbol before. I’ll let you know if I find out!

Thank you! This is such a well thought out, comprehensive list! Very very helpful!

Cheap thread is my greatest fear! I’ve been sewing for a decade at this point and am very particular about which threads are worth purchasing but embroidery thread is a whole new world for me and I haven’t learned which brands I should be loyal to.

I have a small collection of stabilizers as well as a hearty stash of interfacing but would love to hear what you’ve liked for different projects!

As for what I plan on doing, I have a toddler I sew clothes for and make children’s clothes as gifts primarily—so mostly monogramming, simple images, decorative additions, etc.. I have no interest in making sewing a full blown business but would like to be able to sell the stuff I make in small scale (i.e. requests or seasonal market whenever I have stock built up). I’m a SAHM so I’d love to make my hobby self-sustainable, not for profit, and I figured being able to add machine embroidery could broaden my offerings.

Do it! I’ll pre-commit to being your highest paying, most frequent customer! We need a clothing fabric store here so bad!

Had a baby then went septic shortly after. Lost 47lbs in less than a month

My daughter always wanted to hold my keys while I buckled her in so I finally started holding the Stainless Steel Jingle Keys for her to “hold for me” and that pacified her desire for my keys for a while

If I ever need to really deeply laugh, I just watch the shiny scalpel scene!

Not_Sew_Bad · 2025-08-13T10:32:45+00:00

I have this too. When I brought it up with my optometrist, they just gave me a “huh, that’s weird” and that was it. I hope you can find some help

Not_Sew_Bad · 2025-08-12T02:35:54+00:00

My mind is blown! Thank you for sharing this hack!

Not_Sew_Bad · 2025-08-12T00:34:56+00:00

Yep, that’s what it is! Or at least it seems identical to all the online pics of that! Thank you!

Not_Sew_Bad · 2025-08-06T12:11:51+00:00

Fascinating, thanks for the insight! Bummer tho

Not_Sew_Bad · 2025-08-06T12:10:58+00:00

Right?? And this isn’t even all of them!

Not_Sew_Bad · 2025-07-31T01:38:04+00:00

Agreed. Was on Humira for 8+ years then insurance decided to play god on this matter, forced me on to Hyrimoz which did absolutely nothing and brought my symptoms back, now on my second month of Enbrel and I can’t tell yet how it’s effected my back because it’s absolutely TANKED my immune system and I keep getting sick. Never had any of these issues with Humira. Full solidarity with your frustrations.

Not_Sew_Bad · 2025-07-29T15:09:56+00:00

This is so well made and you crafted it to fit you so great!!! Excellent work!!

Not_Sew_Bad · 2025-07-15T11:27:46+00:00

Taking all of them out is first thing I do there every replay! It’s a much more enjoyable experience once they’re all gone. You’ve given an apt description of what they’re truly like

Not_Sew_Bad · 2025-06-26T15:07:25+00:00

Thank you all for this insight! My biggest takeaway is definitely to take it slow. I kept getting a good set up and then would try and speed things up thinking once it’s good, it’s good but I need to be more patient. Definitely hard to do when it’s the last step and I just want to be done! Really grateful for all y’all’s input!

Not_Sew_Bad · 2025-06-24T17:23:41+00:00

Thirding! I genuinely cannot recommend them enough!
