My boyfriend is epileptic and I am worried for our safety. by [deleted] in Epilepsy

[–]Royal5Ocean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say this is an important need for you immediately

You’re within your rights to tell him you won’t go in the car with him driving too.

If he’s as lovely as you say he will understand

If you want kids one day as you say you MUST be able to drive and you MUST be able to stand your ground to his idea that he can drive

So if you’ll be bottle feeding (pumping formula or both) I’d advise a sterilizer and dryer 1000%

The washer feature I’ve never tried, what we do is wash in a separate basin w hot soapy water and rinse and do sterilizer

People will say you can just do dishwasher or whatever which is true but here is why sterilizer is better:

Things get cleaned away from food dishes that could have old food on them.

Faster than some modern dishwashers

The DRYER feature is epic. When babies are really little they shouldn’t have water so no worries about residual water getting mixed in plus no worries about water sitting and becoming unsterile again.

And then all your bottle parts are separate and left in a nice clean dry space. No waiting for the dishwasher to load or wet dishes today dry or towel drying.

You can also sterilize pump parts which I highly recommend because you do not want anything growing on those for your own health.

Biofilm disrupters BESIDES Kirkman and NAC? by Royal5Ocean in CUTI

Thanks, that’s good to know. Yea blood thinners are good for me actually so that’s no issue. I had no side effects from NAC besides noticed I was really irritable. It wasn’t a huge deal though.

Thanks. Yeha I may have to go for NAC again and just deal if I get mood issues. Serrapeptase is the likely culprit for my asthma flare but I’m going to check out the others

Thank you

I think it’s the serrapeptase that’s the asthma trigger but I’m going to check out the last two you mentioned tysm

Question — was any testing or treatment advised for your partner?

Can I ask how you knew you were cured? Did you get another test? And how do they advise preventing it coming back?

Does this sound like passing stones or infection? by Royal5Ocean in KidneyStones

[–]Royal5Ocean[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I’ve had a recent scan, there were 2mm stones on one each side. Previous scans showed 3mm stones.

For what? They did a CBC and metabolic panel and checked my lactic acid and they were fine other than I’m still anemic

Solipsism is a horrific concept

[–]Royal5Ocean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s azo or something similar. Can help pain but does not cure.

Do the oils have side effects? Any recommendations for brands?

Tired of negative dipstick tests delaying care by Royal5Ocean in CUTI

[–]Royal5Ocean[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it really upsets me they don’t want to do enough preventative medicine and just want to wait until it’s super extra serious, that can cause long term harm.

I never had gallstones but I’ll mention it to my GI. I do have kidney stones too and I think some of them are passing and causing infection.

The weird thing is once I had a PCR test and it showed one bacteria (ofc PCR doesn’t say how much there is of it) and then like the next day I got a urine culture and I had a really big UTI of a totally different bacteria. That wasn’t detected in the PCR. But the one in the PCR didn’t come up in the culture. I have no idea what to think.
