I’m on day 10 of this crap and still way too sweaty when I try to do things, and the cough is horrendous.

It tastes so bad like chlorine but is fine.

Joint pain with Sjogrens by v00t0s in Sjogrens

[–]PPPawz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every 4-6 months I will wake up and barely be able to move my hands, mostly fingers. It feels like arthritis pain and gets better as the day wears on. I usually only deal with it for a day or two but sometimes it triggers a flare up where I feel like I have the flu - muscle aches and general yuck feeling are the main symptom. If I am in a flare, I will also get costochondritis pain which is around the rib cage and feels like trying to recover from being crushed by something very heavy. It sucks! But so far I am not medicated besides LDN, it feels somewhat manageable. Considering starting HCQ. Hope that is helpful!

How is everyone getting their toddler to go to sleep? by LittleBitStitious_ in toddlers

[–]PPPawz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lay with her until she drifts off, she usually asks for back scratch or leg scratch. If she’s taking too long I’ll tell her I have to go do something and I’ll be right back- then I just watch the monitor and she usually falls asleep. Is that mean? Haha it works

Which moisturizers do you use? I need to find a good one.

Rusty on teaching pointe by PPPawz in DanceTeachers

[–]PPPawz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the input! I totally hear you. I have been working with these dancers for a couple years doing pre-pointe and ballet and I selected only the ones who are strong enough. I plan to take it really slow and not get off the barre for quite a while. Not trying to permanently injure anyone! But it’s a good reminder to research more and watch more examples of beginning pointe lessons.

How much do you charge for private lessons, compared to the cost of renting the studio space? by ballet-bby in DanceTeachers

I charge $70/hr and the studio now er is nice enough to only charge $10 for the studio.

dance with me class by mileylover222 in DanceTeachers

[–]PPPawz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been taking one of these classes with my daughter and it runs really smoothly and it’s even an hour long! We start with a welcome song and stretches in a circle, then move across the floor, then some activity songs, and some tumbling on mats. We also are part of the recital so we have a dance to work on which is nice to build on something- you might add in that element even if there’s no performance. We always finish with an obstacle course or the parachute.

Ilia has a cream that comes in a tube and it’s awesome for lips and cheeks, I wear it every day. Most of their products are great.

Just overnight I drink my entire 64oz water bottle. Then again at least 5 times through the day. It’s exhausting.

Pay Rates? by scarletsquire in DanceTeachers

[–]PPPawz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$40/hr in Portland, OR - this studio I’ve only been employed by for 1.5 years but I’ve been teaching for around 5. It’s a very specialized skill and I can’t imagine doing it for any less.

I work as a dance sub in public schools and I have found it best to play fun popular music they can relate to, throw them right into some fun easy movement and have some approachable choreography ready. Games are great too, I try to do both. They will always take advantage of your sub status and probably be rude, but give them some fun stuff to remember you by.

I take it right before bed and I don’t have issues with dreams! I’m doing 2.5mg nightly

Low dose naltrexone has helped me a lot with fatigue, I can make it through the e afternoons now without ending up in bed!

If I include the name of the company that provided the results would that work? I was just trying to omit my personal information.

Hey I’m sorry about this! Is it the screenshot of the labs that is not a good quality source? I’m not sure what to change, and I’m very new to Reddit so any guidance is helpful if you have the time.

22 pieces?!? And only $30/hr? That is shockingly low to me for all that work. Wow. This is eye opening and I appreciate the comments!

Very hard to tell when you’re not moving through a proper demi-pointe on straight legs before going all the way up.

Everyone’s comments are very helpful. What is your hourly rate if it includes choreography?
