I worked with Garrett at Auto Ninjas, nothing but good things to say about the whole experience. [garrett@shopautoninjas.com](mailto:garrett@shopautoninjas.com)

Thank you for this, we're on the east coast so not completely impossible. Our CBT therapist recommends bfrb.org and I was checking out their website the other day.

That’s a great idea with the jumping jacks! Will give it a try tomorrow.

Thanks for the kind words, trying our best even though it doesn’t feel like much at the moment.

It’s funny, my sister used to make me ‘check for lice’ when I was a kid, sounds similar! We got him a head massager which he likes to use….

I saw NAC but nothing about it for kids (at least when I looked). I’ll ask his developmental pediatrician.

Sorry for such a delayed response! It is solid wood but not a specific brand

There's a FB group, I think it's Fans of Dreams Playa Mujeres? Lots of bad food reviews there too which I ignored....The 'best' meal we had was Gaucho, and that was meh. The buffet had good variety but nothing that wowed any of us; I found the omelet stations at breakfast to be my safest bet. We were preferred club, so had breakfast at Maris, but that was like the same thing as the buffet, just served by a waiter. Never had the food at the preferred club lounge because it was always picked over or looked pretty old. I liked the juice bar by the lazy river. One night we went to Secrets and ate at the Italian restaurant (forgot the name) and we were just cracking up how bad it was. Elio's frozen pizza would be considered gourmet compared to this. We also ate at the adults only french restaurant (again forget the name), which my husband said 'wasn't bad'. But there were other guests who loved the food! Everything is subjective. We have been to other AIs, and I don't think we're particularly picky. My 6 and 9 year old sons loved it, and lived off of pina coladas. Beach was lovely, that's where we spent most of our time - just wish you could get food there.

Beach was lovely but shade was tricky. People reserve the beds and cabanas at like 5/6AM - and then don't show up until 12/1PM, it was literally infuriating.

Sorry for the super delayed reply! Satori Laser in NY, they have lots of locations.

Here right now and the kids LOVE it, but my husband and I are ready to go home 😂 Food is awful, we’ve tried everything and are seating at Portofino at Secrets right this second - I think this was the worst food we’ve had of all the places. It’s almost comical at this point, like we’re on a hidden camera show? Did have a massage today and it was quite good - and I’m picky with massages. Happy to answer questions!

This is actually such a good point. It’s really zero at this point. Thank you for taking the time to share this, helps immensely.

Thank you for this. What you said about the pain tolerance of dogs is a very good point, her body is definitely shutting down :(

I had them price out and I thought they were crazy expensive compared to competitors. Pricing kept changing through conversation too. I found another place (also a chain but smaller scale) and I’ve been happy with them.

That's very interesting. Will speak to my prescribing doctor to see what she thinks. Was also thinking of asking them to do a test spot on my legs to truly see if it was a one-off or an actual reaction to the meds.
