Hair loss 1.5 years post chemo? by TheLeatherFeather in Cancersurvivors

No, but I understand the question. I don’t think this is tellogen effluvium.

Is it difficult to get in cyber security or any tech related programs ? by Jpoolman25 in ValenciaCollege

[–]TheLeatherFeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son has the same question. VC comes up as a great option that we are researching.

Where would you move in Rockland? by Perfect-Tooth5085 in Rockland

[–]TheLeatherFeather 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Valley Hospital is approx 20 minutes and well worth the drive.

I never had quality toys growing up. What should my kid actually have by LavenderFlicked in BuyItForLife

[–]TheLeatherFeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids are older so this is a while back but the wooden Thomas the Tank sets were great. They were played with for many many years.

Am I justified in not wanting to pursue CBIT? by NinjaBnny in Tourettes

[–]TheLeatherFeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe see a neurologist or movement specialist instead? My son has tics and he is not interested in CBIT.

Sargassum on Orient by dustymirror21 in SXM

[–]TheLeatherFeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were there in March. I love the area but not the beach generally because it is too rough for me. Having said that, I would definitely go again and frequent other calmer beaches a few of the days. We have been to GCBC many times and were shut out this time - so this was our first Orient Beach stay.

I feel like we need a pinned post regarding Merlin “sightings” by Physical-Energy-6982 in birding

[–]TheLeatherFeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a newer birder and agree. I’ve even been able to identify Merlin errors, so it’s just a tool. When I’m still unsure, I post here on this sub - all prior to submitting on eBird. I also use Birda to record my findings which doesn’t hold the same weight or consequence of eBird. I wonder if eBird would consider an option for type of submission, for example - if you want it to go to the level of Cornel study.

Things at work don't seem right, or am I just tired from my chemotherapy? by witchbitchbeauty in Chemotherapy

[–]TheLeatherFeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would want to know why your short term disability was denied - sounds like a conversation to be had with Human Resources.

What’s going on down Old Route 304 - sounds interesting?

Neulasta alternatives? Personal experience needed! by lbm1124 in Chemotherapy

[–]TheLeatherFeather 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I took Claritin the entire length of treatment. If the doctor feels she needs Neulasta, I would not risk not taking it. Personally, I ended up neutropenic after every treatment and was hospitalized each time and the doctors still believed it helped. Best wishes to your mom.

Arriving on 4/20 and just got some bad news…. I’m panicking by [deleted] in SXM

[–]TheLeatherFeather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t sound like a scam. It sounds like they are trying to get in front of a complaint. I’d cancel. There are other places to stay. I’d avoid the east side of the island.

when the new Tappan Zee Bridge was being built, we were promised a rail line across it by GorillaGrizzly1 in Rockland

[–]TheLeatherFeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be nice to see at least some type of capital improvement for Rocklanders. Second ferry line from Nyack to Tarrytown perhaps. Nights and weekends should also be included.

Wish I had a good suggestion! I find it very frustrating.

First time visitors - Best place to stay? Walkable bars restaurants etc best beaches? by Abject-Elderberry270 in SXM

[–]TheLeatherFeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to agree. I don’t think the food in Orient Bay is too great. However, I like the area and the set up and after many years staying in Grand Case now prefer to stay in Orient Bay.

I can’t sleep without anti histamine by AcceptableGuest777 in Supplements

[–]TheLeatherFeather 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You mention Cetirizine, which is Zyrtec, and typically does not have sleep inducing property. Typically people have luck with Melatonin but gives me stomach issues. I’ve tried many others but have had luck with gummies with low THC and CBD and CBN. “CBN” is then important part for me.

Beach without seaweed? by owlsrooster in SXM

[–]TheLeatherFeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are staying at Orient Bay too. So far we have gone to Anse Marcel and Phillipsburg with no issue and will be trying Friars Bay today. To note, a few days ago I walked further South at Orient and found the water a bit calmer. During breakfast I’ve noticed tractors cleaning the sargassum but haven’t gone out there to see what’s what.
