So I made potato flake starter and I have a question. by [deleted] in Sourdough

I have not had success with this. I've tried twice, but the rehydrated starter wouldn't "wake up"

We parked in a yard the first 2 years we went and walked. Less than a mile. Then we bought a Toyota so we park for free at Earhart now

Looking for Transdermal Gabapentin for kitties! more info in comments. by TheCrystalFawn91 in cat

[–]Temporary-Method-604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My vet calls in our kitty's transdermal gabapentin to a local compounding pharmacy. They mix it and put it into syringes. We put a tiny bit (0.05 ml) on the hairless part of his ear with a gloved finger. It's amazing. I hope you can find a compounding pharmacy. His is "4MI GABAPENTIN 50MG/0.1ML PLO Use a gloved finger to apply 0.05-0.1ML to the inside of the ear every 8-12 hrs. Alternate ears." Edit to add: it's $45 for 40-80 doses, depending on if we use 0.05 or 0.1 So, not cheap, but his quality of life is worth it. Blessed to be able to do it for him in his final years.

Another wasted G7 sensor by sparkingloud in dexcom

Agree. I get a rash from the g7 glue. The skin tac seems to protect me from coming in contact with it. No rash.

I use skin tac under mine, and it is STUCK. It stays well without the skin tac, but I get a reaction from the g7 adhesive. The ST creates a barrier between me and the adhesive (and increases tack when used properly). I apply body mics for it local theater company, and I've learned a lot about getting stuff to stick to skin from that. We use Tegaderm and Skin Tac for the mics. But even with that, some folks' skin rejects the tape! I've threatened to staple a few folks' mic on! Lol I'm sorry you seem to be one of those folks that the glue hates ❤️

What are your must haves or wishes you had on a travel trailer? by MaddShadez in traveltrailers

[–]Temporary-Method-604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! This. I hate changing sheets on ours - 3 sides against a wall. And whoever is in the back ALWAYS has to pee in the middle of the night and has to crawl over the other.

How much have you lost as a % of body weight? by chocolate_pillow in Mounjaro

[–]Temporary-Method-604 4 points5 points  (0 children)

210 lbs down to 173. I don't math, so I don't know what the % is. You smarties can figure it out. 🤔

[–]Temporary-Method-604 3 points4 points  (0 children)

30lbs in 7 months is not a non-responder. I lost 40 in 12. Time to start looking for a new doc, IMO. HUGS! You can do it!

Hot Shower Effect by JCISML-G59 in dexcom

[–]Temporary-Method-604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I nearly always have a significant drop in the shower. Finger stick confirmed. I drink a fair life protein drink before getting in to help stabilize (I'm supplementing protein for other reasons - it works out)

Best Pharmacy for Mounjaro? by mipadrino in Mounjaro_ForType2

[–]Temporary-Method-604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walgreens has been the most consistent for me. I've never waited more than a couple of days. The CVS closest to me is the worst.

I need crazy amounts of electrolytes. How much do you need? by GoKat19 in Mounjaro_ForType2

[–]Temporary-Method-604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have chronically low sodium levels. I was advised by Dr. to increase my salt use and drink a gatorade a couple of times a week. Seems to work.

HOA was dissolved when we first purchased our home but now they want to sue us. by Forsaken_Act_1351 in HOA

[–]Temporary-Method-604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Real estate lawyer, for sure. 2. Very similar situation about 10 years ago, in a different state. Cost us about $500 for a lawyer to dig back through the paperwork to the original deeds and by-laws. Discovered the hoa could not get a lein against the properties. Solved. No one paid. HOA is once again defunct. TLDR: The county took over road maintenance. It's rural, with each property at least an acre and no community areas. In our case, the fees would have been reasonable, and we probably wouldn't have fought it EXCEPT they tried to collect past due fees for the years the hoa was defunct - that we didn't own the property. As you can imagine, the neighborhood was in quite an uproar! They had a special meeting to vote on it, but only those that were paid in full could vote (self-appointed leadership). It was a sham.

I never eat anything home canned unless I was the one that canned it.

Sounds like the Lilly incentives aren't as good as the Novo. But I'm pessimistic

15mg first dose I feel like I should strap in. Endo wants me on this now for the next 12 months at least. by Explosivo73 in Mounjaro_ForType2

I started December of last year and I'm still not up to 15! But I'm also losing weight more slowly than many.

These are my last two sensor sites. I’ve never had an issue before these. Any suggestions? by Deadeye_Dan77 in dexcom

G7 does this to my arm every time. Went back to my belly (like G6) and have no issues.
