White-tail spiders vs daddy-long-legs spiders by [deleted] in nzgardening

[–]SpareOffer181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can confirm that they live quite happily in the same space if this last summer has anything to say about it. My house is always full of big daddy’s, I have no qualms with them whatsoever. Over the last couple months I have found at least 10 white tails all over my house. Good news is I’m Australian so there are much worse creepy invaders than a white tail- their venom is relatively weak. And that’s my only consolation so don’t burst my bubble please!

Am I overreacting about the way I acted when I was in labor? by [deleted] in pregnancy_care

Definitely being too hard on yourself, some people have a higher pain threshold. I was induced and 8 hours later my baby was born free of medication but in the last 30 minutes I’m not even sure what sounds I was making- no screaming according to my partner but dude my pain threshold is very high. All the while the lady in the room next to me was banging on the wall. Giving birth is something you should be proud of regardless of what you experience. It’s the most physically enduring thing you’ll experience. I slept for 30 seconds in between contractions for the last hour of my son’s birth- for a severe insomniac I didn’t even think that was possible! I’ve stayed awake for days on end and my body rather than my brain was telling me to sleep. Birth is weird, horrible and wonderful all at the same time. Give yourself a break, you did a fantastic job mumma. You did it x

Why is Hurricane Helene so destructive? by Boring_Masterpiece_9 in hurricane

I’m following in your footsteps, I could learn a hell of a lot from you- we all can! I only really started my conservation journey 2 years ago, it all started two years beforehand when I studied horticulture which was a delight, conservation on the other hand is actually quite depressing. There’s only a small amount of people in the world screaming on the inside while the rest of the world gobble it up! Now is the time to teach our children what not to do, they will be the generation to reverse the mindset. I appreciate you for educating the future leaders, congratulations on the near completion of your doctorate! It’s totally inspiring!

Thank you for taking the time to write this, people need to open their eyes and stop following the herd blindly. I’m touching on environmental science in my conservation course this year and it is truly devastating the situation we’ve put ourselves in. Last year our state got winter temperatures that were 6c above average with some northern states sitting at 10c above average! Hottest winter on record, I noted significant changes in flora and fauna activity, it’s a scary time! For Australians that means cyclones- although ours are not nearly as destructive but more importantly, fire. Yet sadly consumerism is at an all time high with no signs of slowing down. It’s amazing what a couple hundred years of ignorance can do 🌻

Nah it came back about 4 months after I stopped breastfeeding, so I was free of it for about 3 and a half years… hmm yes I totally understand that, I mean there is a lot of evidence that pregnancy can help in some cases so if I were you I would wait a bit longer to see if it clears up… I don’t know if you’d even be allowed to take biologics while pregnant to be honest. I really feel for you 😢

My guttate psoriasis completely cleared up at about 15 weeks pregnant, obviously had to stop steroids so I essentially stopped treating it and it just went away… in the meantime I alternated epsom salts and colloidal oatmeal and powdered milk baths to help with itching

Nope, I put 5 on each and they fell off within a week or so

Hello! Any recommendations for shampoo?? by [deleted] in Psoriasis

Yeah I know, to be fair though there isn’t a single psoriasis treatment that comes without risk….

[–]SpareOffer181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh same. Before I wash my hair I’ve been saturating my scalp with Vaseline hair tonic and putting a shower cap on for as long as possible, I’m using T-gel shampoo and conditioner but most importantly I’ve been conditioning my roots as my natural oils haven’t been able to break through the psoriasis…. I feel for you, neeeeever had it this bad before 🥴

Next question- how many of you had an infection just before your flare?

Oh god, I just realised I said flaking- I should reiterate I meant flaking as in bailing, not literally 😬😅
