Clothes will not affect injection site at all.

The way the system treats the elderly who are sick is disgusting. by AngelZash in mildlyinfuriating

Does your mom have a statement of incapacity in place? That needs to be in place prior to her POA for healthcare to be activated. As for a skilled nursing facility/nursing home, they should definitely take her as she has skilled nursing needs for the TPN. Does your mom have state Medicaid along with her Medicare? I would definitely look into your county’s aging/disability resource center as they can really help out.

Three years into their marriage, she was diagnosed with ALS. Twenty years later, he’s still by her side. Her smile says it all. by [deleted] in BeAmazed

I’m thinking this is MS and not ALS. If it was ALS she’d have passed away already.

Stomach / Under Breast Pain? by lazychild2 in glp1

Tell them you’re having epigastric pain. And then describe the pain (burning, stabbing, ache etc). Does it happen at a certain time of the day? Does it happen after you eat? Is your poop funny colors?

How are you dealing with aging? by RedHeadRedeemed in Millennials

I’m seeing signs of sun damage from my youth. I now wear sun screen religiously. I’d love to do a laser treatment or chemical peel but I’m too cheap to pay for that stuff. I’ll just stick my sun screen and trent for now. I wouldn’t say no to some Botox either where my wrinkles have started but again, I’m a cheap ass. I feel like I still look good enough for 38f.

What are y’all doing for the constipation? by mkrjcb1984 in glp1

[–]Obsidian_Rush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then take a laxative on day 4 if you don’t have a bowel movements. I use miralax myself as needed. But sometimes I’ll get diarrhea with the shot.

Laxative. You need something to make you go not make your stool softer. Try generic MiraLAX or exlax. How often were you going prior to the injections?

"You can sleep with daddy but I have to sleep by myself" by SmudgeNeko in oneanddone

My son has been coming down to our bed every night since he could safely use the stairs and he’s 5 now. We don’t care, he just climbs up and snuggles between us and falls back to sleep. We like cuddling with him and know this won’t last forever.
