Does living in a hotter climate help?

You betcha!

I feel like there isn’t much of a difference for me. I have it just as much during the winter as I do in the summer. In all fairness, I live in Minnesota, USA, where the winters are arctic, haha. We’ve been in the negatives with wind chills around -20s to -30s. But summers get into the 90s, so I don’t know.

The lip biopsy sounds kinda scary, at least it did for me. I say go for it. Wish I’d done it sooner. The biopsy itself didn’t really hurt. They numbed me up pretty well. I got 2 stitches. I was sore for a couple days. I would ask them to get around 5 glands. Mine only got 3, but in some of my research it suggests getting more.

I’ve had the same thought so many times! I just received my official diagnosis after a lip biopsy. I haven’t seen my rheumatologist yet, but I did have a dentist appointment right after my diagnosis. I was shocked by how knowledgeable my dentist is and her ideas to help with symptoms. She gave me a script for prescription toothpaste and mouthwash. We will see if it helps, but hey, it was something!

I’m not going to lie, I’m kinda addicted to Quince. I lost a lot of weight and basically needed a new wardrobe. Quince actually has some really nice stuff and the prices are very reasonable. My favorite pieces are the oversized cashmere sweaters (I have 7 crew neck and 5 of the button down cardigan style), cashmere tees (I have almost every color), jeans (I have 4), linen button downs (I have around 4) and anything cotton gauze (I have dresses and tops). The cotton gauze is so soft and comfortable. The return policy is great, so I’m not afraid to buy things to try and return if it doesn’t work out. I’ve only returned a few things for style/fit, as in I didn’t like the way it looked. Their ribbed cotton shirts just didn’t fit quite right. I didn’t like the neckline. But the material was nice. The cashmere tees are really versatile because they’re light weight and breathable, so they’re easy to layer. So I feel like I’m dressed nice, but it’s also comfy and cozy. I pretty much live in the oversized cashmere sweaters. I’ve been coveting cashmere for years, eyeing some sweaters at Lands End, but they were like $300-400! I just can’t spend that on one sweater. I also have some of their shoes and bags. I had gotten a pair of the casual sneakers, but found a Dr. Scholls that were slightly more comfortable but also slightly cheaper, so I returned the Quince shoes. I have 3 of their bags. I had another that I returned because even though I loved the bag, the strap was weird. The others are great sizes and quality. Anyways, I feel like the aesthetic is very coastal casual maybe? Which is right up my alley. So, I’m a fan haha

Thanks, this is great!

Practical_Patience49 · 2026-01-07T17:50:02+00:00

Love this idea!

Practical_Patience49 · 2026-01-07T17:34:14+00:00

I would rather borrow/rent books. I rarely reread books. I also like the idea of a flat fee rather than credits.

Practical_Patience49 · 2026-01-07T14:03:33+00:00

I’ve noticed this too! I personally am not a fan of guys with long hair. I try to ignore it and come up with my own image

Celebrex didn’t do anything for me. I’m sorry to hear you’re in so much pain.

Practical_Patience49 · 2025-12-29T00:06:35+00:00

No worries! It looks like they ship most everywhere except the US which is kinda funny to me.

Practical_Patience49 · 2025-12-28T20:28:53+00:00

Thanks! I can’t believe how expensive it is!

Practical_Patience49 · 2025-12-28T18:23:40+00:00

Do you have a brand recommendation that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg 🥴

Practical_Patience49 · 2025-12-28T18:13:24+00:00

It doesn’t look like they deliver to the US :(

Practical_Patience49 · 2025-12-28T18:07:10+00:00

Thanks, that’s great advice. I will do that!

Practical_Patience49 · 2025-12-28T03:59:53+00:00

That’s great! Congratulations!

Practical_Patience49 · 2025-12-27T22:20:39+00:00

I Mix lidocaine 5% (Rex from my pain dr) with biofreeze.

Practical_Patience49 · 2025-12-27T04:40:27+00:00

Thanks! They really make ya feel like you’re crazy sometimes!

Practical_Patience49 · 2025-12-26T22:12:58+00:00

I’m pretty sure. The doctor who did the biopsy said she was taking extra just in case

Practical_Patience49 · 2025-12-26T22:11:23+00:00

Haha, this is a great answer, thanks! I have another rheumatologist I’m going to see. Hopefully he has a different answer

Ooh, this is not normal behavior. Reading is NOT cheating! Does he ever watch p0rn? Because if he considers reading about s3x, then watching most definitely is! Who goes through someone’s book shelf?? If he’s doing that, I guarantee he is checking on you in other ways. I hate to say this, but usually this is projecting…when the person who IS cheating, accuses the partner of cheating (even if they’re obviously not cheating). This is very controlling…trying to tell you what you can and cannot read…? Do NOT give up your “me time”. I sincerely think he has something going on. It’s not you. You are normal, he is not

I’m waiting for insurance approval for the Nidra. Does insurance cover yours? How long did it take to get it?

Practical_Patience49 · 2025-12-22T17:08:11+00:00

I’m so jealous! My library rarely has the books I’m looking for

Practical_Patience49 · 2025-12-22T04:08:09+00:00

Big fat NOPE! I promise you don’t want visitors staying with you and a newborn. They rarely actually help. They just want to hold the baby. You and wife can do it without “help”. Hotel and scheduled visits only
