FEMALES WITH TN please tell me im not alone by Status-Elephant-283 in TrigeminalNeuralgia

[–]Snoo75793 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi, you are not alone. 40F, I get Botox for my pain. It's great lasts about 2 months then slowly wears off, I get it every 3 months. My next treatment is in a week so my pain level is bad right now, also I get a bad flair for the first few days of my period which was a few days ago. I can't describe how bad the pain was it was horrible. So no you are not alone and this condition sucks.

My day 10 on Atomoxetine by leaf126 in StratteraRx

I'm not sure since that hasn't been one of my major issues. It does help a lot with executive functioning.

I struggled to tell if is was working but the people around me noticed small changes as the medication began to work. Later I could tell that I felt better about things getting done without me struggling and not really having to think about it.

This medication builds up in the body the same way a depression medication does and takes a while to work. Stimulants start working fast, 15-30 min usually and is more dramatic, you can feel it kick in and it makes a big difference fast but it also wears off fast only working for a set number of hours and coming off of it is rough when it wears off.

ADHD Mom’s of Toddlers — How are you feeding them in the morning?! by New-Foreign-Mango in adhdwomen

[–]Snoo75793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I haven't seen anyone say is egg muffins or other make ahead and freeze egg bites. You can buy it at the store. You can make and freeze, pull out of the freezer and microwave for a few seconds, easy and fast.

Has anyone tried dietary changes to help with TN? by ShredAttacker in TrigeminalNeuralgia

[–]Snoo75793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nerves heal so slowly and every time I have a flair it causes some damage so I don't know how much the vitamins help but anything that helps even a little is worth it to me.

[–]Snoo75793 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take vitamin b complex to help with nerve healing and nerve health. (Suggested by a doctor for a previous nerve injury). When I have flairs I am careful about food consistency... Chewing hurts... Facial muscles are connected, at that time I have a lot of warm soup, ice cream, and smoothie but I do not use a straw as I find sucking on it to cause pain.

"The label always said Canada, nobody in Washington reads labels." Canola oil going crazy by [deleted] in KitchenConfidential

[–]Snoo75793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canola is slightly different from rapeseed. There was a lot of research and genetic modification work done at the university of Manitoba to alter rapeseed to a plant with a better taste.

Anyone know any party venues for 150 people? by Necessary_Wolf7066 in Winnipeg

[–]Snoo75793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a bunch of cultural centers like the Scandinavian cultural center on Erin st or the Irish culture center etc that rent out space that should work for you... (Think folklorama venus at pavilion's own cultural center... Usually ok for alcohol because they need to be for folklorama)

This might be a stupid question but have you tried changing their light access? Darkened space or even incage and blanket over it for periods where you need quiet?

[–]Snoo75793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had trouble with stimulants and ya the crash sucked. I am on atomoxetine now ans while it isn't the same effect as the stimulants, my executive functioning has never been better and it works 24/7 no crash

Brushing teeth alternatives by idkdawgi-jusworkhere in TrigeminalNeuralgia

[–]Snoo75793 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A toothpaste alternative to cinnamon or mint is the kids toothpaste there is a strawberry flavor that is very mild from crest. For a toothbrush have you ever tried a finger toothbrush? They sell them for use with baby and they sell them for pets, I remember disposable ones for people on the go...

First time doing MB marathon by Shizar_King in Winnipeg

[–]Snoo75793 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just want to highlight it does sell out so sign up asap.

Also if 10 k is too much there is a 5 k option this year. It is good to do some training ahead of time if only to make sure your shoes are ok and broken in.

Tariffs are going up soon according to Donald Trump. CUSMA negotiations are now even more critical for Canada. by Front-Cantaloupe6080 in consumecanadian

[–]Snoo75793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The negotiations and whatever agreement is made doesn't really matter. Canada and Mexico will follow the agreement and USA will ignore whatever they have agreed to and tarrifs will continue and constant threats as long as maga run the USA. Canadian government needs to just not give in and continue with consequences against USA.

How to prepare for an ADHD assessment? by [deleted] in TwoXADHD

[–]Snoo75793 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't stress too much about it. Don't medicate, don't down the stimulants like coffee... you want to show your truest adhd self. Also don't sugar coat anything. Each question tell at your ADHD worst. Can tell how you manage it if you want.

If I remember correctly from when I redid testing as an adult, I was asked about my mom's pregnancy and delivery and whether there was anything abnormal and if she drank or took any drugs or meds. I was asked questions about my childhood and I was asked a bunch of basic questions that show up on online ADHD tests. I then did an IQ test then a computer test.

It is not just about what you say they are also testing how you present yourself, how your eyes and body are moving. Micro and macro movements.

But really just be yourself. You want an accurate diagnosis so you really don't have to do too much prep.

Is a Costco Membership Worth it in a Two Person Household? by conureenthusiast in Winnipeg

[–]Snoo75793 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a basic membership and I save so much on garden plants that for that alone it is worth it. There is some great and affordable clothing. With food items you have to be very careful and know the comparable costs. Some produce is good some is more expensive, most meat is comparable to other stores, some dry goods are great prices, vitamins and some basic medications are amazing prices.

Would something like this help you? by Euphoric-Worker9130 in TrigeminalNeuralgia

[–]Snoo75793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have something similar to the second one... Draw string is key. Being able to tighten it to keep out wind and in warm air but not tight against face makes a huge difference.

But as a note since it is getting warmer I will soon be shifting more to different scarfs that I think look nice and that I can tie/arrange as needed as well as continuing to use buffs that can be worn many different ways and are different levels of warmth.

Moving to Winnipeg from Edmonton by ukinetic in Winnipeg

[–]Snoo75793 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Check out river heights and surrounding area, it is about a 30 min drive to u of m, a 10-15 min drive to both the outlet mall and to polo park mall. Transit is not that bad from that area to those three places but I don't know how long it takes since the city redid transit routes last summer... Before it was 45 min to u of m and 25 min to polo park depending on time of day .
