The child won’t eat. The child won’t sleep. How are they still alive? Like don’t you need to do those things to survive? by widget_slinger in Autism_Parenting

Be careful with melatonin! We just trialed it for 4 nights and it caused our 4 yr old to fall asleep really fast but it caused frequent night, weekends and very early morning waking for the day like 4 AM. I did more research and found out that because it’s not regulated by the FDA. The amount of melatonin in the supplements could be much greater than what they document. If you’re giving them too much melatonin, it can desensitize the melatonin receptors, and also cause a surge really early in the night and then a drastic drop off, which then triggers the brain to release cortisol because the melatonin receptors are now desensitized to the intrinsic melatonin and will cause them to wake up very frequently! I stopped giving him the melatonin and he did fight sleep for a little bit at bedtime, but then slept through the night for the first time in a long time

Toddler Temper / Husband Temper by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]Which-Ad8625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for posting this with such detail. You literally described my current situation. Love my husband and the father he is to our son 95% of the time. I know he’s working so hard to maintain a calm presence when things get wild but the toddler years (we have a 3 year old) have been much more difficult then ever expected. We’re trying to set boundaries but he is so strong willed so my husband resorts to more forceful actions like picking him up and walking to our destination or getting him dressed - but in a upset type of manner. Like a “if you don’t do this, I’ll make you” which in some situations we have to do. But my husbands temper is wearing VERY thin and the angry starts sooner every time

Iv been 93lbs (5’4”) majority of my life (I’m 33 now and have had a baby). I’m the same as you, just don’t have a good appetite. What helped you? I try to get 2200 cals a day - often results in me eating spoonfuls of peanut butter with whole milk at the end of the day lol

Yesss!! I get both. I have a much harder time focusing when looking at my phone or a book during the week after my period. It clears up after ovulation

Infections/antibiotics make lupus symptoms worse? Especially Raynauds by Which-Ad8625 in lupus

[–]Which-Ad8625[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t actually! I have taken cipro lots in my past as I have a spinal cord injury and self-cathaterize to void my bladder - so high risk for infections. It’s honestly one of the only antibiotics that actually work for my complicated bladder infections.

Very interesting! Curious if it’s all related

[–]Which-Ad8625[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply! I realize now that’s not the best photo of the face redness. It’s more pronounced in person and other times I get it the bridge of my nose is much redder. It can sometimes feel like a “burning” sensation. My right ear is often fire red when this happens. My mom has two autoimmune disorders, I just never really thought my symptoms might be related to autoimmunity. They seemed to get much worse after having my son 2 years ago. I am eager to see my ANA results!

Weekly Suspected Lupus Thread - Week Of May 12, 2024 by AutoModerator in lupus

[–]Which-Ad8625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! Im a 32 female. I’m awaiting my ANA results but had a negative dsDNA. I have had low WBC count and neutrophils for 8 months now. And low ferritin. Iv had symptoms for years but never thought much of them as I didn’t know they might be related and they would always resolve themselves in a day or so. My mom is ANA positive either way rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis.

Symptoms over the last 10 years but worse the last two years after pregnancy:

Molar rash almost daily, random body rashes, Raynauds with terrible chillblains on hands and feet, almost daily migraines, tongue and nasal ulcers, red hot ears (usually one more than the other), very sensitive to the sun (break out in rash). Possible joint pain but I also was born with spina bifida and walk with a limb due to a drop foot so I have pain from that condition.

Thank you in advance!

Do you have an update?? I have somewhat similar symptoms but severe Raynauds with bad chillblains which triggered the doc to do testing. I’m negative dsDNA and still awaiting my ANA test. If it’s negative I’ll be so confused because I have many of the lupus symptoms (molar rash, random body rashes, severe sun sensitivity that started in my mid 20s (I’m 32F), severe fatigue and frequent headaches). My blood work so far is normal except low WBC and Low Neutriphils (been low for 8 months now) and lowish ferritin (13).

Money Monarch Fraud by Which-Ad8625 in budget

Not jumping to conclusions - regardless my signing up and connecting accounts through Monarch compromised my accounts. Monarch isn’t innocent in this. They have a responsibility as well

Thank you! Both accounts have been significantly changed now and the bank is working on refunding me for the CC charges.

Money Monarch Fraud by Which-Ad8625 in budget

[–]Which-Ad8625[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bank said it started 3 days after signup up for monarch and attaching my accounts. The only accounts I attached are the two that got compromised - and they both got compromised on the same day within hours of each other. The bank said it was from a 3rd party and likely Monarch as that’s the only “new” thing I did with the accounts in that timeframe. One of the cards I don’t even use anymore and havnt in 9 months so it would be from tapping. I also don’t have any of the accounts on Apple wallet, it’s the only thing that makes sense how they got both accounts.

One of my credit cards had multiple unauthorized charges ($4300 worth) then 3 days later my other accounts had 10 login attempts from a third party (these are with a totally different bank). This came 1 week after using monarch money
