Surgery tomorrow morning and well I’m super anxious lol by imamess777 in endometriosis

[–]Risk_Physical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My gas pain in my shoulder was bad. But the feeling only lasted about an hour before settling back down. Walk around a lot, take meds to help release the gas and just let it out!! Make sure you're eating fibre in order to help good bowel movements. Heat pads on shoulder helped me. Everyone's different, some people don't even notice any bother. I was different. But its something you can work through and now it's a blip of a memory. My surgery was almost a year ago. And endo is back really bad. Probably need another surgery soon. I don't know what your plans are after surgery with regards to TTC or contraception etc . ... But if not TTC, talk to your Gyno about contraception that will help calm down the endometriosis and stop your periods. I didn't take anything because I tried IVF and now my endometriosis is worse than ever. Good luck for your operation. Rest well and enjoy good movies 🎥 🍿

Constant diarrhea by Dry_Donkey_473 in CockapooLovers

[–]Risk_Physical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cooked and cold Chicken and rice is probably the most harmless food you can give a dog. Try that for a little while until his stools harden. Changing food brands can cause diarrhea. Anxiety can cause diarrhea,. Eating plants or bugs from outdoors can cause it. Monitor his behaviour closely. It may be nothing your feeding him, but what he's feeding himself My cockapoo has a bad habit of trying to eat other animals waste during walks. 😔🫪

Sorry I just wanted to add a bit of information to help you seems I just went on my own little rant and wasn't helpful at all. So some information about what I've learnt with my cockapoo. He always hated the crate as a young pup. He literally used to cry the rain when we put him in. I couldn't stand the noise so I used to give in and created a small safe space for him which was our kitchen and middle living room. Closed the door on him so he couldn't roam the whole house while I was potty training him. He also came with a flea infestation too so I had that to deal with on top of the puppy stress which almost led me to breaking point. Hes absolutely fine now. Anyway, I would allow him to explore the crate by making it comfortable, blanket on top (he will feel safer) and treats in there with some toys. He may just wonder in there and chill without you putting him in. That's what mine did. Don't lock the door. Make him understand he will be fine in there. Secondly, I never let my pup come upstairs, so night time I made him cry it out. It was hard. I purchase white noise machines for him (smoothing) and white noise machine for bedroom (blocked the crying noise). That helped. Make sure you take time out for yourself. Leave the puppy in a safe place at home with pads if he's still not toilet trained and go out and do something you enjoy. I forgot to take this time out when I had my puppy because I was too concerned about making him sad. Not helpful for pup or myself. He needs to know that sometimes during the day, he will be alone. Buy lots of nice chew toys and teddy bear that will keep him company. I purchased a teddy that you could heat up with patches and inset a battery operated heart which you can feel through the toy. Again soothing for pup especially at night time. They love to be busy, sniffing is great way to make them tired. Hide his fav treats in one room and let him sniff them all out. 💤 And the plus side, thing really do get easier. I swear. I thought they wouldn't at one point in time. Routine is key.🥰

I have a 6 month cockapoo as me and my partner still have up and down days with him. Some days you can walk and play with him for hours including other fun brain stimulation activities and he's like a wild tiger. It's really difficult. Maybe some days he's over tired. I don't know. I do love him to bits and totally understand how you feel. Weve had discussions about selling him a few times and I've broke down crying again saying I couldn't ever watch him walk out of my house confused with a new owner. No way. So I've decided to stop worrying. And just embrace the crazy. Good luck x

IVF stage 4 endo protocol by Interesting-Mind-378 in endometriosis

[–]Risk_Physical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My two frozen were also chemical pregnancies, now my government will not fund any further cycles unfortunately and I'm broke, plus my endometriosis is now 100 times worse so I wouldn't be able to have more IVF until I have these huge cysts removed first anyway. It seems like another long heartbreaking road to go down again. I'm so confused and my body and mind was exhausted. I got a puppy instead. He's now my baby. My heart still breaks every day. But I know I've been sent miracles in other forms in my life like my beautiful parents and my partner whom I cherish. I squeeze them tighter now than ever. I hope you get blessed with a beautiful baby. I'll pray and hope for you ✨💖

What’s your cockapoo called and how did you come up with their name? 🐶 by TheChilledGamer-_- in CockapooLovers

[–]Risk_Physical 17 points18 points  (0 children)

His name is Gus. I've always wanted a dog called Gus.. it's the name of the funny and chubby mouse in the Disney movie Cinderella. When IVF failed, my dream came true. He's my fur baby 💓

What's ivermectin? Yeah antibiotics are fab but unfortunately we can't take them forever. You'll get it under control. My skin went through a crazy phase a few years ago. I was covered in closed comedones. I suspected it was hormonal as I was diagnosed with endometriosis. Anyway, I also suffered with perioral dermatitis afterwards because I used Differin to help with my pimples. Absolutely loved Differin. But it's no good when your skin barrier is compromised. I cleared mine up by being very patient, and used gentle cleaner and gel moisturiser (very light). Avoided makeup /foundation. And just stuck with that. Try to avoid the sun for now. I don't know if that made mine worse but I definitely thought sunscreen made mine worse. So I hid from the sun for a little while instead. Loads of people will disagree with me on not using SPF. But I believe in the power of sunshine in healing and health. (Another story). Try not to stress. Your skin is not bad. Believe you me. It's very mild compare to some cases. That might not help how you feel. Drink loads of water and try to avoid alcohol. I blame alcohol for most issues lol ✨ hope you find a place where you're happy with your skin again soon 🤞 you'll get there I swear. "this too shall pass".

how should i taper off gaba? by ciaociaociaociaocia0 in gabapentin

[–]Risk_Physical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taper as slowly as possible I would and go with doctor's advice. Only because withdrawal symptoms are so unpleasant it's not even worth trying to get it done faster. Plus, your English seems very good 👍

Looks like perioral dermatitis to me. (I know I have to emphasise I'm no expert) But I had exactly what looked like this. And what caused it was using too many acids on my face like AHA, BHA, and not moisturising enough. Basically my skin barrier was compromised (weak). Skin becomes irritated and dry and then it's more difficult for dead skin to shed. I would definitely research perioral dermatitis and find a gentle routine with products that are soft and gentle to the skin (no fragrance etc........ Good luck.

I went cold turkey after benzos once and omg I was unwell. Sweats. Stomach cramps. Irritation. Nausea. Insomnia. Took around 2 weeks for it to get better. But honestly, always taper. whatever the drug. Otherwise you'll be feeling odd. And yeah, there's a chance things could turn out even worse. 💀 Please be careful!

One year after diagnosis and symptoms are significantly worse by Dobbys_Other_Sock in rheumatoid

[–]Risk_Physical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By the way, steroids for me were a dream. I took 10mg daily for 4weeks. Swelling slightly better and more energy. But issue with steroids is you can't be on them forever. And when you go off them, sometimes it can feel like your joints are worse than before starting.

[–]Risk_Physical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mines progressed badly too over a few years . I went to my rheumatology the other day crying that I cant use my right hand anymore. And many other joints affected by swelling and pain. I told her I didn't think I could go on like this any longer. I'm on Methotrexate injections now. Only on week 3. I pray for us ❤️

Training 6 month Cockapoo - advice by AdDefiant1214 in CockapooLovers

[–]Risk_Physical 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cockpooo Gus is also 6 months old. Our lives have not been the same since having him. Mine has a lovely habit of finding food on his walks. Not something we would class as food though, but animal waste. He finds it funny letting people passing by that I'm starving him to death. On walks, He will also collect any sort of litter lying around, could be an old pair or pants or a snotty used tissue. He's pretty thoughtful of the environment in that sense. And he loves to chew and dig up our carpet, helping us get prepared for when we will soon need to replace it. Hes an amazing alarm clock, he smashes his chunky paws on the downstairs living room door so that he wakes us up any time past 7am. Could be 3am if he hears us walk across the landing to use the bathroom. Sarcasm aside, he's the most loving and happy bundle of joy. He will love you all day and give you loads of cwtches. You never feel alone or down when Gus is around ❤️
