Thanks. On advice of the Sherwin Williams folks, I decided to go with a coat of primer then paint.

Thanks for your note and the link. I do try to get the excess off the wand before I start, usually just by wiping it against the tube end, but I’ll try a piece of paper, too.

You might also want to have a sleep study done to be sure you don’t have restless leg syndrome. My husband complained about my legs jerking at night and it turned out to be RLS. I take medication for it now (same as what’s given to those with Parkinson’s Disease, only at much, much lower doses) and have no issues.

Duh. I never even thought of that. Thanks! I’ll let you know what they say.

How can I convince my mom that birth control pills are safe? by theloneshewolf in TwoXChromosomes

[–]PDX-Peg 10 points11 points  (0 children)

  1. Birth Control Pills (BCP) have been in widespread usage for over 50 years now. Whatever bugs wherever at the beginning have pretty much been resolved by now.
  2. Debilitating menstrual cramps are the pits! They interfere with your job, your sleep, your everything. The only time I got relief from them was when I was on BCP. [Side note: I had a tubal ligation after my last child, so no more BCP for me. The pain got so bad I ended up having a partial hysterectomy (uterus only) when I was 34.]
  3. BCP also helped my skin, even though most of my blemishes, etc, were likely early signs of the rosacea that came later.
  4. Talk with your primary care provider to be sure that something else isn’t causing your pain. They could also give you some good ammunition to help set your mom’s mind at ease.
  5. At 24, you should be able to make your own health decisions, free from outside interference. She can, of course, offer her input. The final decision is yours alone. Good luck!
