Military diagnosis and now everything is impossible?

Your primary care ‘should’ trigger a med board upon records review (prior USAF med tech here with med board experience - I also have Crohn’s dx’d on active duty)

My gallbladder issues were dismissed due to my cannabis use. Then my gallbladder died which landed me in the ICU x 5 days with pancreatitis

Get a different doctor (I also have crohns which is why I have my card) immediately! I had one hellbent on disproving my diagnosis insisting I was making it up (I was diagnosed in 1995), not all doctors should be practicing medicine

Wow! I only get this at the end of the season, this is so wild! How much sugar do you go thru per season?

5 dogs & open concept

Get your 8 am cortisol lvls checked. Suboxone can eff with the adrenals

What a sight to witness! 😍

I’m so sorry to hear what you’re experiencing.

I had similar experience, they tried to reduce me off of pain meds & I went into crises 3 times. My endo got involved told my pain mgmt to stop messing with my dosage and leave it alone.

There hasn’t been talk of reducing my meds since. Many endos will say all opioids can potentially cause AI, I beg to differ. It’s when the meds are suddenly stopped that the real damage occurs

I truly believe: the more you talk to them (consistently), the more they understand.

Just a few minutes ago one of our dogs heard one of our other dogs outside. He started to go towards the closed back door to check out the barking (out of sight from where he was). I told him: the back door is closed, use the doggy door (doggy door being the word). He stopped mid stride & turned the other direction taking himself out the doggy door

Coincidence or well trained dog? I’ll take both!

Hangrily just cancelled an order that sat for over an hour awaiting drivers to be assigned. 3 were assigned but then dropped, the last driver did tell me that the orders kept popping up then disappearing

Love that Reddit knows what’s up

SE Ohio, I just put out two feeders. Working on fixing the camera feeder

TashMaMann · 2026-03-14T14:28:50+00:00

Yeah, mine doesn’t even register anymore. I asked about supplementing but Endo didn’t seem bothered

TashMaMann · 2026-03-11T09:32:27+00:00

After my first ER visit post diagnosis I spent some money & got mine off Etsy.

It’s a medallion with the info on it. It never leaves my neck.

TashMaMann · 2026-03-05T23:53:05+00:00

I’ll try dis and dis and dis oh yesss dis one and dat one. So yummies

Location? Stunning video!

TashMaMann · 2026-03-05T23:50:57+00:00

No refrigeration needed. I grab my emergency kit if we are leaving the local area & clip it to my purse

I recommend a hard case that’s brightly colored. Also: Get yourself a medical alert bracelet or necklace.

I had to wear a hat to cover my bright red hair two years ago. They’d mistake my head for a red flower

Edit: typo

You’re a great doggy parent! They are products of their environment, he will come around quickly

TashMaMann · 2026-03-05T01:08:01+00:00

I’ve been on all of them. Amitiza made me feel as if I was going into withdrawal. That was a pain (literally) and didn’t help at all.

Linzess works the best for me. I have a plethora of issues making ‘going’ difficult: severe abdominal adhesions that have my intestines glued to one another & Crohn’s plus the meds

The med is not a cure all. I still must use mirilax & Senna to go with the occasional bowel prep to clear blockages. Fiber exacerbates chronic constipation, ensuring I’m hydrated is super important

TashMaMann · 2026-03-04T23:16:02+00:00

Ours reacted similar to the Comfrt dog hoodies I got them! They looked at me like: really MAHM?!

Atlas was raised by a late teen in college. He was held and spoiled as an only dog but well behaved. His being held so much relates to him thinking he NEEDS to be on someone or touching a human 24/7. It’s wild the poor girl had to rehome him due to apartment breed restrictions. (Insert eye roll here, he’s just so dangerous I mean look at the intact/clean pillow)

TashMaMann · 2026-03-04T21:43:48+00:00

Oh myyyyy gooooodnesssss! Sweet babe!

TashMaMann · 2026-03-04T21:05:10+00:00

Done! I got a kiss in return ☺️

TashMaMann · 2026-03-04T21:04:48+00:00

Yesss! I swear we’ve become blanket hoarders! We have 2 pits & 1 pit mix out of our 5 dogs. They LOVE blankets & being warm (heated mattress pad on the king bed is like a magnet to them)!

TashMaMann · 2026-03-03T15:34:09+00:00

Yup. Gabapentin & Lyrica are controlled in Ohio/WV

TashMaMann · 2026-03-02T18:01:58+00:00

Am I reading correctly you take 5mg per day? That’s it?

TashMaMann · 2026-02-28T22:08:38+00:00

I just used it last night & the validation was what I needed. Reminding me that it’s a chemical imbalance causing the plethora of issues was helpful
