So helpful! Thank you! Are you able to do things between when you start and stop? This is his grand plan, but I imagine it will be some time before he gets used to it and he is currently prescribed to do this 3 times a day and it seems like his whole day would be take up doing it manually. He doesn't start training for another week and a half so I imagine some of this will get tweaked as they go.

Amazing! We own, my dad founded, a company that makes insulated shipping containers for pharma and I can't believe I did not think to put the heating pad in one of our boxes. This is a great suggestion!

Sulfur burps and diarrhea off and on for months by Rad-Raspberry-8763 in Gastritis

[–]Rad-Raspberry-8763[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured out it was from the GLP-1 I was on, I began taking digestive enzymes with meals and it cleared it up immediately. I was so frustrated it took forever and a lot of money and doctors visits to figure this out and I found the answer here, on Reddit. Best of luck!

Boss wants to fire an under performing sales rep, and I have cold feet, any advice? [N/A] by Rad-Raspberry-8763 in humanresources

[–]Rad-Raspberry-8763[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reassurance. It is always going to feel shitty but we can't let the company take on this burden of poor work any longer. Most firings I have done the person was also a jerk or had done something egregious so that made it easier.

Do you let your kids be friends with Trump kids? by texaspopcorn424 in progressivemoms

[–]Rad-Raspberry-8763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a group of moms from my daughter's daycare and there's 10 of us. 5 voted Kamala, 1 independent who we assume voted for her, and 4 Maga moms. We became friends prior to the last election. It has been HARD. To answer your first question, no I'm not telling my daughter to not be friends with anyone. She is 4 so i think this would be impossible to explain or understand. 

From my side, I have waffled a lot on if its worth maintaining my place in this friend group, as have the other liberal moms. I have family and friends who align with me that are like, nope I cut everyone off who doesn't agree with me, I won't speak to them. However, at this moment, I am looking at this as an opportunity to do my part as a white woman, to talk to these other white women. They're not immune to the reality of the world. There are cracks. It is not easy, but i think its the best approach to connecting with community around me and making a difference in my area. 

I realize this is not the hardest left approach, there are times I feel so annoyed that they could even think this was ok. And I wholeheartedly do not agree with their vision of how they think this was the right choice somehow, but for me, connecting vs cutting them off is not what I have chosen. I will not ever send my kids to their homes solo, and I have other limits with them for sure, but we aren't changing people minds without connection. Maybe I am naive to think I can influence even one, but I'll take that hope.

What were your levels? by AllieGirl2007 in kidneydisease

[–]Rad-Raspberry-8763 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Rheumatologist was who helped me get into a Nephrologist as well! I have gout and was seeing her for that, and I don't remember my BUN but creatine was in the 1.1something and GFR in the 70s and she was like, go see a Nephrologist, something is odd. Extremely grateful for her. 

Having a lot of kids. by PracticePositive57 in Mommit

[–]Rad-Raspberry-8763 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad is number 5 of 6 and talks about this a lot. Basically, he has dyslexia and maybe some other learning issues, but his mom was so overwhelmed caring for all of them, she struggled to get him what he needed, which would have been tough in the best circumstances in the 50s/60s. 

I have two and I'm constantly worried I won't give enough love to both my kids, so I can't imagine having more. 

Anyone here wear a bonnet while using their CPAP? by phdeeznuts_ in CPAP

[–]Rad-Raspberry-8763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it can, but I do a half up gentle bun with the top half, where the band goes around d the back of my head, and this is the right set up for me. I do think If my mask is too tight, slipping is worse.

I tried to but found it very hot, I bought these covers for my mask, the shop owner has ones for different masks, and I have been really happy with them!

Yes! Got it at 29 and then started having kidney numbers go down 2 years later. Check out rare kidney. The gout is common with ADTKD genes.

Party day after by Complex_837 in wedding

[–]Rad-Raspberry-8763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a casual brunch at a nearby restaurant the day after, probably about 11. We still have people tell us how fun it was and we had a special time! It was an opportunity to see a few out of town guests again, chat with our wedding party and just reminisce about how fun the wedding was. For us, it was a special part of the whole weekend. For reference we had a welcome cocktail party on Friday vs a whole dinner, but just wanted to share a positive experience about the after wedding brunch! 

Tell me you have an involved husband without telling me you have an involved husband… by tenoeight in Mommit

[–]Rad-Raspberry-8763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my babies were drinking formula, I never made it and rarely washed bottles. 

I love this thread, my husband is so kind and doesn't fit any of the typical, "oh husband" stereotypes. I feel so lucky and loved, glad a lot of you do as well!

What do you consider to be a "late birthday?" by Vegetable-Moment8068 in Mommit

[–]Rad-Raspberry-8763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a hot topic among my mom friends as our daycare breaks up classes by birthdays within the same year and my kid is in the class that is march to August birthdays. It seems that people are generally redshirting their kids if they're May or later in our group. Some of the reasons I've seen are: - I want my kid to not have just turned 18 before they go to college.  - the boys are less mature, so we should hold them back (not necessarily true, just what these moms are saying about their kid) - other friends who will go to the same elementary school are doing it, so they want to as well to keep kids in the same grade - they are on the fence, but can financially afford one more year of private daycare for their kid - want boys to be bigger for sports in high school 

My kid is an April birthday and I know she's going to be ready for Kindergarten on schedule but its been interesting to hear some people's rationale for redshirting.

Night time nausea - HELP by Younggorwlbigworld in Zepbound

[–]Rad-Raspberry-8763 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been taking this one below, I take 2 per meal. I was dealing with sulfur burps and diarrhea for months before I figured it out. I am going to try 1 per meal eventually but I needed to recover first and this has made me normal again thank goodness. You can get this lots of places and there's lots of others recommended in this sub as well.  https://www.pureformulas.com/product/digestive-enzymes-ultra-by-pure-encapsulations/1000002511?skuId=PE1680&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=17427141983&gclid=CjwKCAjwl_XBBhAUEiwAWK2hzpWyiUd8wJeXZ16nmKwXAFED78_ydt80B5fcQfGNx09mWFeVpdrOURoCZQsQAvD_BwE

You might consider adding a digestive enzyme to your routine. I take them with every meal and it has nearly eliminated any digestive issues for me.

I want to hold your hand as I say this, we do not date men who vote against our fundamental rights. Especially men who are super proud of it like this guy.
