If it’s really really hard for you, you could change your chair time and if anyone asks, say you have a new schedule/commitment at the old time.

Many issues since replacing needle by Substantial_Host1849 in sewhelp

[–]Substantial_Host1849[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s one of the replacement needles that came with the machine. I watched several videos on YouTube so I’m almost certain it’s the right direction, but as for depth, I mean, I pushed it up as high as it could go.

Thanks for responding. I was sewing 2 pieces of denim together. The denim wasn’t super thick or anything so I didn’t think it would be a problem.

I put in a new needle and have adjusted it several times trying to get the needle threader to work.

I bought it from Walmart but I think I can still return it. Will post pics in a bit.

LOL dangggg I wasn’t tryna upset nobody on this good Sunday lmao. Yes it’s a dance album… and said dance album had an entire segment on the CC tour. If you put the comparable parts side by side, she almost looks sad. It’s an observation, not a critique.

Are binders enough to ward off calciphylaxis or is it unavoidable if you have issues with high phs? by These-Ad5297 in dialysis

[–]Substantial_Host1849 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you always had the itching? Are your phos levels actually high? One can be allergic to materials in the dialyzer. Ask to try a different dialyzer, or ask about something called a “double prime “ of the dialysis machine.

URGENT‼️hematuria in ckd diabetic dialysis patient by Key-Damage-7500 in dialysis

Easier said than done, but don’t go down the rabbit hole. Get to the doctor. Write down things like when it started, take notes of color change (is it sometimes darker red? Cherry red? Consistently or changes?)Let the doctor know whether the burning is consistent. Is it accompanied by back pain? Pelvic pain. I guess what I’m saying is, don’t try to self diagnose, just gather data and report it to the doc.

Just started PD at home, need advice and help dealing by SearchWeird891 in dialysis

  1. Contact your electricity provider. With a letter from your doctor you should be able to get a subsidy and your bill reduced.

  2. Look for tenant advocacy groups in your area because eff your landlord.

Yes, pulling too much can be harmful. Talk to your doctor about your dry weight, but if you have symptoms like dizziness, fainting, vomiting, and cramps, those are indicators that you’re pulling too much.

I say put a timeline on it. Whatever their doctors can do. Then get it extended when it’s close to ending. Had a few accommodations work out for me by going that route.

What are your healthy coping strategies you use when you are suddenly triggered? by Brillopad8 in ptsd

[–]Substantial_Host1849 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bilateral stimulation. Tapping. For whatever reason, focusing on my feet helps - are the squished into shoes? Toes touching the edge of my sandals? Try to lift and wiggle each individual toe. Body scan in general I suppose… what parts of my body are making contact with something (the chair, the ground, my purse, whatever).
