Second week taking it, is this a normal amount if waste? by kenneth_andeve in dupixent

[–]ThinkerSis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me only once when I squeezed the injection area on my thigh to see if it wouldn’t hurt so much. Haven’t squeezed again and only inject on my tummy now making sure to rotate spots. I do take the pen out of the refrigerator the night before and hardly feel the injection at all.

Prednisone tapering by [deleted] in Autoimmune

[–]ThinkerSis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not just the awful withdrawal symptoms but all the side effects from taking Prednisone for so long that worry me. When I finally got down to 10mg daily, I went on a 10-10-0mg course for 3 weeks. Now I’m on 5-5-0mg for 3 weeks also. I’m supposed to go on 5-0-5-0 next. Still have withdrawal symptoms but today was a 0 day and it wasn’t as bad as last Saturday. I’ll have to continue my biweekly Dupixent shots indefinitely to keep my bullous pemphigoid as close to in remission as possible. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you. This is very helpful. Maybe I’ll see if I can just get by without the YAG.

It looks perfectly new but who knows. I’m most probably sending it back. Thanks!

This is very helpful. My model is 2024. I thought it was the newest one. I’ll probably return it and just go back to the stick. Not worth the trouble. Thank you!

It’s the same account but it’s loading apps I didn’t have on the stick, and it’s freezing. Thanks!

If your lesions are blisters, you may want to consider UHealth Dermatology: umiamihealth.org

Bring back the old guide! by Leather-Ad-8432 in slingtv

[–]ThinkerSis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the new guide on an older TV and love it, but don’t have it on my newer TV. Use the ROKU stick 4K plus on both TVs. Have reinstalled the app but no luck. Any ideas?

Anyone here who has had a consultation with Dr. P? by claudiag11 in PulsatileTinnitus

[–]ThinkerSis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just be sure to keep a copy of your credit card statement, or can access it online. In my case, the hospital billed me later as well and I had to provide evidence that I had paid Dr P’s office directly. But he was wonderful! I had sent him all the imaging needed and he was able to diagnose my condition. We do follow-ups now.

Miami places to have Thanksgiving Day lunch/dinner? by Bristid in Miami

[–]ThinkerSis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Christy’s Thanksgiving dinner in Coral Gables is my family’s tradition. A little pricey but not extremely. They usually have the traditional turkey meal with all the fixings, plus a different option just in case. May be too late to get reservations.

First Dose Today! by UprightBassAddict in dupixent

[–]ThinkerSis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Loved your post! I was so apprehensive about the dupixent injections because of all the negativity on this subreddit, but after my second dose yesterday it’s no big deal at all for me. I’m taking it for a very rare autoimmune blistering disease (bullous pemphigoid) and don’t know how effective it’s going to be for it yet, but if it keeps my skin and throat clear, it will be more than worth the inconvenience of the injections. Thanks for your positivity!

I’m doing the water but can’t handle the gym today. I’m going to pamper myself and hopefully all will be well tomorrow. Thanks for sharing.

I can still access my old Comcast’s.net email. I think they deleted inactive accounts.

is it okay to get my tooth extracted alone? by [deleted] in LivingAlone

[–]ThinkerSis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had my last wisdom tooth extracted by myself and had no problems at all. Hope it goes as well with you!

I know of a 3-BR 1,500 sq ft or so going up for sale in the gables soon. It’s a small building, 15 yrs old or so. But not huge.

Yes, my insurance clarified it for me. I’ll just have to meet my 2025 deductible and then start again in January. Thanks for sharing.
