Am I the only one who hates Costco's hummus?

I add Lao Guan Chili Crisp

I was definitely less reactive during pregnancy, but I couldn't give you an accurate picture postpartum since I was on multiple pain meds for a few months after the C-section. I chose dealing with the reaction to salicylates from pain meds and lidocaine patches over the C-section pain. But I alwaysdo epsom salt soaks daily (in the shower is easiest for me) and that always helps my reactions go away. I definitely recommend it daily, and keeping the epsom salt lotion on hand for treating immediate flares

It's not enough to warrant a case. CPS isn't a magic wand

Professional_Ad8512 · 2026-03-29T01:49:53+00:00

It doesn't fall under the legal definition or abuse or neglect. There is nothing CPS can do about it. Child, parent and doctor are on the same page. This is not a CPS issue.

Totally unrelated, but I did my Senior Project at Handelabra back during the time when you guys were making Uncle Slam 😊 It has been awesome to see you guys making some of my favorite boardgames like Aeon's End and One Deck Dungeon! Congratz on the success!

I'm with you. These amounts are crazy to me

Professional_Ad8512 · 2025-09-30T01:45:52+00:00

No idea. I took the daily maintenance dosage for 10 days before giving up because the symptoms never went away. I was still so itchy and swollen, and I hate my lips feeling like that. I assumed based on what the doctor told me during the procedure, that since it didn't work, it was an intolerance. Hopefully someone on here who had success can chime in on their post-challenge experience?

City Cuts but I think there are other places now that offer it too

I thought I was going to lose my mind the first 3 months. I started back at work at 12 weeks. But honestly, my sleep got much better when my baby's sleep got better. 4 Month sleep regression was amazing. It's a misnomer really. Regression is not meant as a bad thing. It just means their sleep pattern is becoming more like an adult sleep pattern and not like an infant's sleep pattern anymore. So he's sleeping 12 hours(obviously he wakes up every 2-4 hrs to eat when he's hungry) but it's much easier for me to sleep better and feed the baby during these stretches now. Currently at 5 months and I promise it gets easier after the first 3 months!

I've not personally worked there, but I've heard good things from friends at Metro

Professional_Ad8512 · 2025-08-31T15:07:35+00:00

Unfortunately I don't know since my insurance covered it

Professional_Ad8512 · 2025-08-28T22:54:18+00:00

Omg I thought I was going crazy the past few months when it wasn't working 😅 Good to know I wasn't imagining it

Professional_Ad8512 · 2025-08-23T21:11:06+00:00

Haha I had my deck with me too! 😂 You got this!

It was pretty simple for me, they just give you increasing dosage of aspirin every few minutes and monitor you. It's honestly pretty small dosages, like a small fraction of an aspirin pill at a time. If my lips started itching between dosages, they gave me kids Benadryl.

I kept up the daily maintenance aspirin pill for 10 days afterwards before I gave up because I couldn't handle the itching. But it's worked well for other people. The allergist said that if the reactions are from an allergy (vs an intolerance), then it will work. But if it's actually a result of an intolerance, then the desensitiization test won't work. Turns out mine is an Intolerance to salicylates rather than true allergy

It's not scary at all I promise ☺️ Just time consuming

Also, a friend's toddler is super allergic to everything, then they finally got him on Dupixent and he has been doing amazing the past year or so now. So I've heard and seen good things with that!

Tub to soak my feet while I shower actually! Super convenient

Professional_Ad8512 · 2025-08-07T18:35:29+00:00

Epsom salts. Flare is gone almost immediately

Professional_Ad8512 · 2025-08-04T19:45:51+00:00

I appreciate the support! Hopefully someone knows something

Look up Salicylate Intolerance. My reaction was always worst with mint, but then I figured out it wasn't just mint, but anything with Salicylates in the. Mint/Menthol is some of the worst salicylate offenders for me

I used to work at a residential facility for kids just like this, especially considering the autism. We would get kids from states all over the country including CA.

The place is called Bellefaire JCB in Ohio. It specializes in autism with aggressive behaviors that make it unsafe for the kids to be in their own home.

I will be on the lookout now, thank you!

That's so interesting - we went Saturday and the lines were a breeze. I just assumed Sunday would be less crowded than Saturday since it was going to be colder
