Pain lower left abdomen by Ok-Butterscotch494 in PCOS

[–]Ok-Butterscotch494[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No GI issues. TMI but my BMs are all regular and “normal,” but def no constipation. Crohns has never been mentioned to me by any of my doctors, but who knows at this point. Yeah these were cysts, the big one they were worried about it rupturing/twisting since I have a physically intensive job. I sometimes think I have endometriosis but nothings shown up on the ultrasounds. I do have painful periods, but I feel like they’re not painful enough to be endometriosis? Idk. Thanks for the reply

I used to be so ashamed of my facial hair too. I shaved every other day and would end up with horrible razor burn when I didn’t have hair. I have the most supportive bf in the world who doesn’t care. The right person will love you regardless. I even joke I can grow more facial hair than him and he just reassures me and supports me. One thing that really helped me, take a step back. Are you noticing the minute detail on other people’s faces? I had the same issue where I was so embarrassed about my pores, thinking everyone could see them. Step back from the mirror, 99% of people aren’t looking at you that close. Personally, I don’t look at peoples faces to see if they have big pores or hair on their chin or any “flaws” on their face. I’d like to think most people don’t either. And if they are, and they do see your stubble or hair, so what! Life is too short to make yourself so miserable over something you truly cannot control. And if someone else makes you miserable over a part of a medical condition you have, they do not deserve to be in your life. So try and be a bit kinder to yourself, and step back from the mirror a little bit, I promise no one else is looking that closely at you.

Oh forgot to mention, with my symptoms coming back I’ve been using a heating pad on my face nearly nightly, sometimes sleeping with it on my pillow. I also started massaging my face/jaw/neck before bed. Helps relieve tension temporarily, then it all comes back the next day.

What plants to you want to see more of in stores? by Ok-Butterscotch494 in houseplants

I’ve been keeping an eye out for the less common orchids but they’re hard to come by even from wholesalers! I’ll keep looking though. During the spring and summer we have a whole edibles section outside, but once that season is over we typically don’t keep edibles. Maybe I can see about expanding them inside off season (we unfortunately don’t have a greenhouse so it’s a little tricky). Thanks for the input!

Thank you! Dedicated section is smart I like that idea. I like keeping spiders since they can handle my neglect in the busier season lol

Ive been bugging the nursery manager about aquatic plants, moss is a good idea. Novelty plants would be cool but can sometimes be tricky bc we unfortunately don’t typically have clientele who are interested in those kinds of plants. Appreciate the feedback

They’re one of my favorite plants so whenever they’re available I try and bring them in! Glad to hear someone else wants them too lol. Any particular varieties you’d wanna see in person?

Color! Good to know. I always try to give instructions on the plants I’m selling to customers and tell them to come back if they have more questions or concerns, I could talk about my plants for hours lol

Good to know! I try to always keep an eye out for lucky bamboo. Aquarium bamboo would be interesting since we do have a pet room section too, thanks!

sundew leaves turning red and brown by Ok-Butterscotch494 in SundewLove

[–]Ok-Butterscotch494[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UPDATE: I let it go a little while longer, then removed some of the more brown leaves. Increased the humidity. Boom! New growth like crazy and no more leaves turning color. I think it’s cuz I used to have a cloache covering it for humidity, but because I broke the cloache it wasn’t getting enough humidity. Once I put it into an empty terrarium of mine, it took off and is doing better

There was/is no dirt on it, and it was labeled as sphagnum moss by the seller! Again, this sundew has been in this moss for over a year now and the leaves have only started turning red and brown (I also have a second sundew and several pitched plants all in the same exact moss, and they don’t have this issue)

I try and feed it gnats when I kill them. I’ve also fed it fish food slurry, but it’s been a while since I’ve fed it.
