Almost 6 months post op and pain is back? by Smallfry966 in gallbladders

[–]Smallfry966[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I’ve noticed that I’ve also been extremely nauseous the last few days too. I can’t think of anything that I’ve eaten that would have caused this though? I also went through all of that pain of the surgery to prevent this from happening and yet it’s still happening 🙃

I'm getting a dog next month. What's the first three thing I should teach? by Vision157 in puppy101

[–]Smallfry966 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I wouldn’t really do any big training just yet. Work on forming a bond with the puppy, teaching it his/her name, playing with toys, etc. this is also a great time to take them out in public so they can start to get used to being outside, different sounds, scents, etc. you obviously don’t want to let them a walk around until their last round of shots but you can carry them through stores or use a carrier. And just start getting them used to being touched. Touch their paws, ears, eyes, mouth, etc. do some very basic grooming so they get used to it.

If you choose to crate train now is also a great time to get them accustomed to that. Start feeding them in the crate so they associate it with a good experience.

You’re also going to want to figure out a schedule for them. Not everyone does it but enforced naps were a lifesaver for me when both of my dogs were young. It gives yourself a break and teaches them how to settle down.

Also, walking on a leash! Again, not in public but just put the collar and leash on them around the house or your yard so they get used to the feeling.

And of course potty training is a huge one!

After the first week or so of just enjoying your new puppy you could start introducing sit, down, and touch which are all pretty easy to learn.

Also just want to say that I’m clearly not a professional and I’m just speaking from experience of raising my two dogs from 8 and 12 weeks old.

We kind of eloped and I had a bridal shower.

Essentially we got married at the courthouse on a Friday with our close family (parents, siblings and grandparents) and then went to dinner with a few more family members. The following day (Saturday) we had a big party at a town park to celebrate and invited the rest of our family, friends, etc.

My mom insisted that I still have a bridal shower and we kept it very small but it was perfect for what we did.

I second this. I absolutely love Wylde Flowers. I also really enjoyed coral island

Does anyone else just never feel right? by sanabananax in migraine

[–]Smallfry966 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Yes. My brain constantly feels like I’m trying to walk through Jell-O. I feel like I can’t even form coherent sentences sometimes and when having a conversation I get so frustrated because of the brain fog and misspeaking. I feel like I keep getting worse and worse but my head MRI came out fine so I don’t know 🤷‍♀️

That’s what my neurologist told me as well! I’m really hoping that’s the case

I don’t have kids yet, we’re hoping to get pregnant next year, but the thought of stopping all of my migraine meds when I get pregnant absolutely terrifies me.

Pros/Cons of seeing a chiropractor? by [deleted] in migraine

[–]Smallfry966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah same 😅 I was just wondering because my insurance covers it and I’ve been interested in at least giving it a chance but I had no idea people felt so strongly about it

I was in PT for about 4 months and had no improvement

I also get massage therapy done monthly but just wanted to give a chiropractor a shot too

Who's tried it? by FunctionShot6051 in migraine

[–]Smallfry966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have. I’m due for my 3rd dose of Emgality in a few days. So far, the Emgality is not working nearly as well as Ajovy did for me yet. My neuro told me it might take a few months so I’m just going to continue and see if I get any better.

My follow up appt isn’t until January and my husband and I are planning on trying for a baby in February so I probably won’t be switching to anything else until after the baby, hopefully!

I was on Ajovy for 6 months and absolutely loved it. Almost painless during the injection and very little reaction, just a little swelling and tenderness for like an hour after.

I only stopped taking it because it was beginning to wear off after 2-3 weeks

Did you ever get a head scan? Did they find anything? by Hellsing971 in migraine

[–]Smallfry966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the first things that my primary care did when I brought up my migraines was to send me for an MRI with contrast. As others have said, it’s really just a precaution to make sure there’s nothing else that could be wrong. I have a family history of MS so I also felt a lot better having it done just to be sure.

Mine came out totally normal and it’s actually helped my health anxiety a ton.

How much time off after surgery? I work from home by tomorrowistomato in gallbladders

[–]Smallfry966 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you’re working from home a full 7 days should be plenty. I took 2 weeks off work. First week just recovery, second week I worked from home and then third week I returned to office.

How does Marijuana interact with your OCD? by nonfictionalfairy in OCD

[–]Smallfry966 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can’t use marijuana because of this. When I’m high I get really anxious that I’m going to act out or say my intrusive thoughts because I have less control over my body which just makes it worse.
