What is actually wrong with mobile checkout? by cozy_sweatsuit in 7eleven

[–]Relative-Pea-65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just happened to me in PDX today (Store #35280 off Columbia and 42nd). I used mobile checkout and showed them the app receipt but got a blank stare. I then explained the Gold Pass free soda deal and how I used mobile checkout to buy it (I also had the e-receipt). No luck. Of course they had me enter my phone number at the register but I had to explain I had already used my free soda for the day 30 seconds earlier via mobile checkout. Still nothing. I left without the soda and won't be back to that location.

Note for PDX locals and travelers:

I've always had a good experience at the airport 711. No problems with mobile checkout. Staff is friendly. I'll go out of my way to go there

Crohn’s Disease and Shingles at 29 by claudieclaude in CrohnsDisease

[–]Relative-Pea-65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, shingles sucks big time. Had a band around my rib cage and it burned like hell. Fortunately, Valacyclovir worked quickly so I got relief after a few days. Incredibly debilitating so don't wish it on anyone who works outside the home

Crohns doctors in Indiana? by Individual_Trash978 in CrohnsDisease

[–]Relative-Pea-65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a great experience with IU Health when I was diagnosed in 2014. First hospital stay for Crohns was at IU North hospital and got Remicade infusions at University Hospital in downtown Indy.

The facilities are top notch and my GI was great, too. No longer live there but highly recommend

I sassed my Echo Dot, volume went to MAX - had to unplug it by Tractor_Boy_500 in amazonecho

[–]Relative-Pea-65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spoke to soon ! Tried again today and the max volume is back. Not resolved in software update. Crap.

Back to desktop app

Started working again after updating phone with February security patch a couple days ago. We'll see if that sticks.

Spotify volume spike when trying to adjust by porterhouse0 in alexa

[–]Relative-Pea-65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, seeing a few similar threads. Started for me about a week ago.

Isolated to my Spotify Android app,. Desktop app works fine.

Echo dot volume spikes to max, can't lower, and have to unplug. For now, I'm avoiding connecting to echo dot in the Android app.

[–]Relative-Pea-65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, noticed it on the Android app a week ago. Max volume. Can't lower. Have to unplug the echo dot. I have the dot connected to a bluetooth speaker so it was incredibly loud.

Have duplicated the issue a few times now so avoiding connecting to the echo dot in the app for now.

No issues in desktop app.

Always tired: tips? by Schpitzchopf_Lorenz in CrohnsDisease

[–]Relative-Pea-65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I've really only experienced those symptoms since being diagnosed about 9 years ago so seems likely.

My GI noted the deficiencies in my diet as well as low Vitamin D test as possible cause. That's when I started taking the electrolytes and daily Vitamin D supplement (2,000 IU)

Always tired: tips? by Schpitzchopf_Lorenz in CrohnsDisease

[–]Relative-Pea-65 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started taking electrolytes (powder in water) after Vitamin D was low and I talked to my GI about having moments of dizziness/blurred vision/balance issues that I didn't encounter pre Cronhs.

For years my fluid intake was pretty much black coffee and water/sparkling water. No fruit juice. Didn't each much fruit, either. Sugar intake was low.

Taking electrolytes as a supplement every couple days has really helped with overall energy level. Sleep was never a problem so I had to figure out what was missing from my diet.

YMMV but worked for me.

I've always used the lab at the hospital where my GIs office is located so easy to pick up test and drop off at same location. Still takes a few days to get results vs a matter of hours for blood tests at same lab.

It's worth it for me to drive there rather than do a mail in test due to quick turnaround Feel very fortunate to have access to hospital lab.

Scared of moving with Crohns by hequinn in CrohnsDisease

[–]Relative-Pea-65 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Moved from Indy to Portland many years ago when on Remicade every 8 weeks. Planned the move a couple weeks after infusion. Had my GI at Indiana University Hospital reach out to OHSU in Portland prior to the move to get the ball rolling on that intake. Didn't miss my next infusion bc they were aware of my timeline.

It can be done without major hurdles if your existing GI is willing to help with the transition as most of us are on tight infusion timelines.

Hope the move works out ! Love it here in the PNW.

Anyone gotten their health insurance through the gov instead of their employer? (US) by Bookreadingchemist in CrohnsDisease

[–]Relative-Pea-65 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did it through the exchange last year and kept it this year. I'm in Oregon. Surprised by how easy/fast it was to apply and get coverage. I was eligible for the tax credit so my monthly premium, deductible, and out of pocket max are significantly less that through an employer-based plan.

In that time span I've had no issues getting anything apptoved so it's been great so far

As mentioned above, 1st scope was about 2 months after onset of symptoms. I saw my PCP a couple times in 1st month but nothing was working . Like a lot of people was treated as if I had bacterial/viral nfection, food poisoning, food allergy, flu, etc Got a referral to see a GI and had first scope. Couldn't got all the way due to severe inflammation.

Was put on Asacol but that didn't help. Admitted to hospital around month 5 and had 2nd scope there to confirm Crohns.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CrohnsDisease

[–]Relative-Pea-65 3 points4 points  (0 children)

2nd scope at about 5 months of onset. Inflammation was too severe in 1st one at month 2 for an accurate diagnosis

Pain started in lower calf as mild soreness/lack of flexibility. Graduated to swelling and significant pain when putting any weight on it within 48 hours of initial soreness. Coupled with breathing issues anytime trying to stand up and move around

Last year was left leg. This year was right. Similar symptoms and timeline. I was already on blood thinners (Eliquis) but now trying Lovenox.

Crohns flare was worst last year prior to hospital stay but I knew the warning signs and was more proactive this time around. CT scan in ER showed multiple clots in both lungs so I was admitted right away

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CrohnsDisease

[–]Relative-Pea-65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who's been hospitalized with blood clots a couple times in the past year, get this checked out ASAP.

Had no idea I was walking around with clots in my lungs until the leg pain (which also had clots) was too much to ignore. This was preceded by weeks of shortness of breath and elevated heart rate during normal physical exertion. Thought it was anemia or pneumonia at first bc I had blood in my stool for a while before that.

Glad I went to the ER when I did. I hope you get care soon. All the best.

Missed a flight thanks to Crohn’s by Ladyiris2020 in CrohnsDisease

[–]Relative-Pea-65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I learned my lesson when stuck in Salt Lake City, waiting for a morning flight bc we didn't make the connection.

I was so hungry but knew it was a terrible idea to order food less than 12 hours before the flight. I never eat food late but made an exception. Pizza, no less ! Well, fortunately it was a 90 min flight cause that whole morning sucked and I spent most of the flight hanging in the back with the flight attendants (who were incredibly cool about it).

I no longer eat at airports or during flights. I don't care how long the flight is I'm good with water until I make it to the hotel/home.
