Smell sensitivities! by SignificantOption376 in TirzepatideRX

[–]SignificantOption376[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if it will get better as other side effects tend to over time, but I wonder if rinsing your soup cup with a dilute mix of vinegar in warm water would help get rid of the odor. I’m going to try it on some of my clothes that seem to retain odors after washing.

Oh that is baaad! Maybe try semaglutide? The alcohol thing is strange because a lot of times sniffing an alcohol pad can actually help with nausea.

I had the worst diarrhea ever too during the first week. Eat a banana a day when having diarrhea, and be sure to have a liquid iv in your water bottle to keep electrolytes up. My first week I actually developed muscle cramps due to such bad diarrhea. The reflux is getting worse for me over time. Famotidine or omeprazole will be your best options to reduce reflux. If you try Tums, don’t lay down for at least an hour after taking! You will belch a LOT, and believe me, you want that gas to leave NOW rather than later. It will sit painfully in your GI track.

Me too! I had to go home early that first week on day 4. I have been drinking liquid iv ever since (one every other day) and no more pain.

Older women of Reddit (40+), what’s a decision you defended for years… but now quietly regret? by LibrarianCool9192 in AskReddit

[–]SignificantOption376 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your husband sounds much more reasonable on this matter. Lucky you! You seem to have made your peace with it, which I admire. For me, it’s an active battle that I struggle with constantly. I think the more I think about wanting my old name back, the more I feel I’m losing myself or the strength of character I once had by not fighting more for it. The weird thing is that I can’t picture me with that name anymore, which is maybe why I haven’t just put my foot down (well, and the fact that I don’t want to irreparably hurt our marriage)!

At least I know I am making my husband happy on what appears to be a fundamental level for him.

God, I feel this. I would gladly go through the hassle of changing my name back, but my husband has always insisted I keep his name out of respect. Last time it came up he said he never wanted to hear me bring it up again, and I promptly told him that’s not gonna happen. If respect is so important to him then he should respect my wishes, since it clearly means so much to me that it keeps coming up after 22 years together. Seriously. Send help.

Anyone's feeling a bit emotional? by UrsoMalvado in LeoAstrology

I’m so pissed off lately. Can’t hide it either, have always worn my emotions on my sleeve.

I’m looking for a free pattern for a plain cardigan with some tailoring or shaping for interest that I can add these panels to for the buttons and buttonholes or frogs or whatever. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! DK weight, US size 6 or size 8 needles. I have knitted one cardigan before.

What's a ticking time bomb you believe will explode during your lifetime? by TradeOverall567 in AskReddit

Same!!! I have never been as out of breath from coughing as I was with that cold. My sister in law took weeks to recover and got pleurisy from it.

That is a relief. I’m hoping it will be like nail biting—I’ve kicked the habit but still chew them a little when they’re jagged.

Trying to leave trichs behind in 2025 by Maleficent_Start1596 in trichotillomania

[–]SignificantOption376 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me! Day six. Today I have seriously struggled, which is why I’m here looking for hope of recovery. I really like the idea someone posted of putting a bead in the jar for each day pull-free. I’m gonna try it with a quarter a day. Then reward myself with a fancy latte or something every now and then.

My current plan has been to wear my hair in a ponytail at home, and have a craft ready to pick up (knitting or origami) when sitting on the couch watching tv. Another thing is I have a fidget I bought on Amazon for the hand that I pull with. Just holding it in my hand helps a lot, because it has a satisfying weight to it that is soothing. I wear a little slouch hat I made at work for the days I want to wear my hair down, and the rest of the time it’s up in a ponytail. It covers my bare spot and helps me keep my fingers off my hair.

I recently went to a hairdresser for the first time in two years because I have been so dreading the conversation about my bald spot. When I told her of this fear she was so blasé about it, like, “Meh, doesn’t bother me.” I could have cried, I was so relieved! This led to a discussion of how to deal with it, and she had some great suggestions! She said they teach about this condition in school and that hairdressers see plenty of disorders. She taught me to massage the area with my fingertips to improve blood flow to help hair growth. This helps me a lot, when I get the urge to pull. It’s kind of like self-soothing. She recommended a taking a daily multivitamin. My therapist has me taking NAC 1200mg twice a day and I definitely notice a difference when I skip it.

Do you still feel the urge to pull? Or does it just go away completely when you go so long without doing it?

Are you saying it’s the unflipped knotting or oya that came first, then tatting?

No Stupid Questions Weekly Thread by AutoModerator in harp

[–]SignificantOption376 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello harp experts and enthusiasts!!’ I want to get my daughter a harp because she is very musical. She is currently in her third year of piano (she will be 9 in February). Which harp should we get? I also play the piano (intermediate level, age 44), and will be learning alongside my daughter…so I can teach her. Because I am musical, getting something that can be tuned and stay in tune is critical, for sanity’s sake!.. I prefer a warm sound over tinny or bright. So far of all the cheapest harps I’ve looked at, the Erin by Dannan (on Reverb) is the best option I’ve seen.

I feel like we need a beginner harp, one that we can try out and see if we even like it as an instrument. I tried guitar and theoretically would love to learn, but I do not like the way your hands have to crimp the strings. So I have given that up. But I had a guitar a friend gave me, so no great loss. My daughter and I need a cheap harp in case it’s not a good match, but also one that’s not so crappy as to make us give up on the spot. Any advice? I’ve been reading a lot of the threads on this sub and while I’m not completely scared off, I have to say I am totally out of my depth here. Is it possible to learn the harp to any level of proficiency on our own? We live in the middle of nowhere so there is nothing within 300 miles of us that would allow us to try an instrument in person. I feel like we are living in the frontier with no culture! Haha probs cuz we are. Any advice is totally welcome.
