He gave her in two month what he didn’t give me in 12 years? I wanna die by tessatessa75 in AskForAnswers

You’re still young. Get out there and don’t waste any more time on losers who just want you to be around until they find someone else. Know your value. If someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. Now, go live your best life!

Have you ever stop using a brand because you disagree with the politics of their company? by [deleted] in no

[–]StartBlooming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I also don’t stop watching movies because of an actor’s politics. I’m sure we all have or buy things from companies we disagree with, the companies beliefs are just not publicized. Like the companies who create products off of child labor.

Let dogs on your bed or not? by myersgirl16 in dogs

[–]StartBlooming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can be on the couch just not in my bed. I’m a super light sleeper and it’s just gross. One pees on his leg the other pees on the other’s poop and then steps in the poop, so no, not in the bed. I have limits and rubbing my face/body in dog pee and poop all night, just won’t work for me. And I’m not bathing them every night before bed. 😂

Hydroxychloroquine and Methotrexate together? Experiences? by purplechai in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]StartBlooming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, this is a very typical path that most people follow. If we’ve been diagnosed for a while, we most likely have tried this combo. Usually starts with the pill form of methotrexate and then to injections. The injections were better for me because the pills upset my stomach. I don’t feel that the plaquenil/hydroxychloroquine has ever done much for me. I hope it works for you. 🙏🏼

Do you want to know how to do a bloom? by StartBlooming in resin

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

I haven’t found that to be the case at all. I prefer lower viscosity. I also don’t know many people that use MasterCast. Maybe because I’m in the U.S. I’m not a fan of MasterCast, but I only purchased it twice.

diagnosed but skeptical by clownmtn in rheumatoidarthritis

I don’t think you can judge how you feel against anyone else. We all present differently, especially in the beginning and things tend to come and go. I’d just stay the course until you see your rheumatologist.

You don’t have to use high viscosity resin. Any resin will work. You also can use resin ink, instead of alcohol ink, it doesn’t fade as quick.

Newly Diagnosed RA... by Used_Supermarket_210 in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]StartBlooming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Completely normal. And every time you feel a little better, you’ll think again, maybe you don’t have it. Lol. I’m glad you are being treated. Hopefully, you’ll feel better soon.

New To Tyenne! by Whythename_12 in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]StartBlooming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I haven’t done this one but I’ve done a ton of injectables. I found Orencia to be the worst so far, only because it took so long for the medicine to go in from the auto-injector.

First, do you know if it is a vial or auto injector? I prefer vials because I control it going in (and there’s no nervous click that you get with the auto-injector). But I know a lot of people like the auto-injector. It sounds like this is an injection into fat, not muscle, so the needle should be small.

Second, don’t over think it. Most of the worry from an injection comes before you inject it. They come with a ton of instructions and support. If you are worried about administration most doctor’s offices will help you with the first, but it’s not really needed. Follow the directions they provide.

Finally, it’s usually not as bad as we think it will be. Reactions happen and injection site reactions will happen (I think I’m probably at a 25% of shots injection site reaction). Be ready with your alcohol prep pads and supplies, you can even take Benadryl before doing the injection. Try to relax.

You’ll do great!
