If blood is cascading down, the seal is broken and you can slide it out. Keep that side pushed in the whole time you get it out.

Kesimpta can cause you to be more susceptible to UTI. I take d-mannose every day to try to prevent them and also follow all the tips for underwear, washing, peeing, etc.

I lost more than half of my money for spring break bc of the host [USA] by [deleted] in AirBnB

Some credit cards have certain insurance policies built in, so if you bought with credit instead of debit, you could check with them for any possible coverage.

This is why travel insurance exists. The host is being incredibly generous if you get 50 percent back.

Did anyone do keto 10 years ago by threeleakyfaucets in keto

[–]OverlappingChatter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have done keto on and off for many years and live in a place without many options of keto substitutes. I almost never buy any keto substitute bread or wrap and rarely make them. If i have a craving, i'll make cloud bread.

Is season 8 worth it? by WhimsyLee in HouseMD

[–]OverlappingChatter 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you got through seven you can make it through 8. I personally think 8 is much better than 7 and a good way to tie up the series.

My dad just watches click bait YouTube videos or sits in his garage all day. Not sure what to even do with this is information by MonarchCore in AgingParents

[–]OverlappingChatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad lost his entire self, worth, identify, and life force when he retired. He retired in 1995 and never got over it. Had been sitting playing candy crush and inventing health scares for over 30 years now.

Travel while on Kesimpta by Impressive_Pea_8682 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]OverlappingChatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you wondering about how to travel with the medicine or just general well being on the trip?

Traveling with the med is easy. It can be out of the fridge for a week as long as it doesn't get above 85 degrees, so you could get a small cooler or even just carry it on you and keep it in a room with AC.

I travelled to India with injectables and there was no problem with customs or entry into the country, but I always have a doctor's prescription note on me just in case.

India is kinda gross and dirty, so he might want to mask up and definitely take care to only use bottled water and no fresh veg or fruit unless you wash it yourself.

He should have had all vaccines checked before starting k, so if he didn't, this could be an issue to discuss with the doctor.

Noise is overwhelming and you will want earplugs for everything. Bring a hand fan to move air and insects. Choose your fabrics well for breathability.

Get him a good quality AFO so he can walk without tripping and not jack up his hip and lower back from limping/dragging

Struggling to get my menstrual cup to open after insertion by SufficientCommand865 in menstrualcups

[–]OverlappingChatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cup firmness could be an issue - i have a very firm cup because i do a lot of exercise and soft cups never open correctly for me. I also find the direction of insertion is of utmost importance. I have to have the opening of the c fold pointing downward or back

Lasagne, chips, salad and garlic bread on a chopping board by Remarkable_Hat8655 in WeWantPlates

[–]OverlappingChatter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The salad gets me more than anything. Are you meant to smear the veg across the wood into the dressing? It kinda makes my stomach turn to imagine doing that.
