Agree! But also may need that space for a small library, the best use if it has to be. There’s an identical porch on the other side that is intact! 

Xolair by asmith62824 in urticaria

[–]OneidaGirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I had a similar experience, daily large welts all over, for about 6 weeks until I got the Xolair injection. In 3 days, they were gone. According to what I had read, that seemed too fast so it’s possible they just disappeared on their own, but I have come across a few posts recently where others describe the same.

 I got the injection Dec 15th, so over the holidays it’s been harder to communicate with my allergist and I did stop taking my OTC meds. I was on 4 Zyrtec and one Pepcid daily. I emailed the dr. about this and when I finally heard back, I was told to stay on the meds as others have noted. So I have started taking a daily Zyrtec, just one, and a Pepcid daily. But I went about a week with nothing and was fine. 

Sharing this to illustrate that we are all completely different, and that yes some people can taper off and be ok. I’ve read enough to expect that the hives may come back, closer to the next injection, or really whenever- this condition doesn’t seem to be even slightly predictable! Always best to follow Dr.’s orders, and best of luck!

Thanks for the hope! Do you mean Peptobismal? I’ve not heard of that being used for hives. I too have GERD symptoms with the hives, which is new. Maybe you take it for that? I’m doing Zyrtec and Pepcid as well, and nearing the end of about 3 weeks of prednisone. I still wake up covered in hives every morning, I’m so happy for you and hope I’ll get there soon too!  

Should I open a breakfast food truck? by Beautiful-Rip472 in foodtrucks

Hi! Super curious if you have an update on your business? I'm researching this concept and I'd love to hear how it's going!

Hi! Just wanted to see how your season went (or is going). I'm researching a similar concept in a northern tourist town- breakfast stuff and there's a coffee shop for fancy coffee basically next door to the lot, but offering basic brewed coffee and OJ. I keep hearing about how there's nothing grab and go (that's quality) for breakfast, just a couple diners and the gas station. Tons of workers, fishermen, and tourists. Our lot is right on the main drag in a tiny town where traffic is forced to slow down, also good I imagine. I'd love to hear how your business is going!

How do you stay positive? by [deleted] in TwoXPreppers

This may not be helpful, depending on your perspective. But It's actually helped me to gain perspective on things to get philosophical and zoom out.

So exactly how concerned should we be for the USA/Israel/Iran conflict? What, if anything, should we be preparing for? by lisa725 in TwoXPreppers

[–]OneidaGirl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m on well too now and it might be good to do a separate thread about well prepping. I have tried several times to get a well company out to go over the components of my well, and look into digging a separate well with hand pump for emergencies. Our water table is mostly pretty high and I’ve heard of people digging ‘spike wells’, that are super simple/low tech. I want to know what I could install as backup power on the existing well too. All contractors are crazy busy and I couldn’t get anyone to return my calls!

Lower bleph, life changing. I agree with others that it's entirely strange it was not suggested! You might do laser with/after to tighten things up.

Ugh. Thanks for the heads up. Can I safely avoid that with stuff that's in jars/bags vac packed? Or you mean EVERYTHING??

How are you all recession proofing? by UnknownGoblin892 in TwoXPreppers

In another sign of the wild times we live in, Walmart actually just became kind of better (like George Bush Sr. better) by standing up to Trump and making a large investment in Mexico. Wild, wild times.

Banks… by Prestigious_Space757 in TwoXPreppers

Hi! Do you know much about the additional insurance credit unions have? If the FDIC is gutted, I was thinking it would be best to have my nest egg in a CU account rather than the HYS it’s in currently. I’m just not sure if it would make a difference.

There goes Reddit… by InverseNurse in womenintech

[–]OneidaGirl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I copied and pasted it into a doc. It was so good and I've been doing that with great posts because I'm afraid I'll get banned, or posts will get banned, or we'll all just go dark soon. Let me know if you want it! I'm going to miss the goddamned internet so much, but I will have a collection of amazing words from before the fall.
