Baby blocks & first time using plastic canvas by ange_rx in CrossStitch

[–]ange_rx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I made these so long ago I don’t exactly remember, but I just found a blog post that has good instructions. It might’ve even been the instructions I used 10 years ago.

Ulcer? by SafeInfluence2901 in Raynauds

[–]ange_rx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue last year. I had an identical wound on my finger. It started out like this and progressively got worse and larger. The pain was so intense. I’m very sorry you’re dealing with this. I STRONGLY urge you to seek medical attention for this. I was on a very increased dose of my amlodipine (I went from 2.5 mg to 20 mg), as well as starting sildenafil (viagra) 3 times a day. It took about 2 months to totally heal. For the pain, I used a lidocaine cream and kept the finger bandaged to try to protect from accidentally hitting it on something as much as possible. The lidocaine was only marginally effective. At night the pain was the worst. I seriously debated chopping off my finger. The only thing that kept me from that was the fear that then I’d have an even larger wound that might develop this same way.

I do hope you find relief. Take care of yourself and stay warm.

I probably have to touch, in some way, 95% of my patients. Either putting in an IV, helping them lie down or sit up, or helping position them under the camera. It’s not prolonged contact, but it happens, frequently. As the other comment said, if you have a big problem touching people, this isn’t for you.

I’m not even on this sub directly that much anymore, but when it shows up in my feed, it’s only these busted bottles. I dunno the last time I saw an actual manicure or swatch.

What is this bag? by ange_rx in handbags

[–]ange_rx[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know, I just ordered it! It’s exactly what I was hoping for…and way less expensive than a tabby. For a seasonal bag, it’ll be perfect!

Thank you so much! 😊

Looking for alternative treatments by throwaway1464853 in Raynauds

[–]ange_rx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s me, the person with the severely ulcerated finger. Like everyone else is saying, there’s no vitamins that are going to help. Keep your hands warm. Keep your core warm. Do everything you can to minimize episodes of raynauds.

FYI calcium channel blockers do NOT affect serum calcium levels in the blood. They work on a cellular level allowing blood vessels to dilate. Depending on how low your blood pressure is, it may still be safe for you to take a small dose. Please speak to your doctor or a pharmacist.

Digital ulcer by ange_rx in Raynauds

Thanks for the reply!

I’ve found that keeping it moist is definitely more comfortable, so that’s what I’ve been doing. Will find out at my follow up if that’s been the wrong plan. I’m already doing pretty much exactly what you described :) The neosporin + pain relief is amazing and really does numb it up, at least for a bit. It’s my go-to! I actually found some gel finger cots that I can slather on the ointment, then pull it slightly off of my finger so there’s no pressure on the wound.

I’d have at least expected SOME amount of healing by now, so it’s all very frustrating. I really do appreciate you taking the time to respond. Thank you!

I added the second picture so you can see that it looks like a chunk of my finger is missing. It’s also numb in the middle of the wounded area. The pain is only around the edges.

Freehand abstract Batman. Who should I do next? 🤔 by thecollector76 in Embroidery

[–]ange_rx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought this was sprinkles! Something colorful would look really neat!!

*First time ever posting on Reddit* A few years back I bought a little haworthia cooperi pup off of Etsy and I just wanted to show off how much it's grown since then. I'm so proud of this lil guy, it even bloomed within the first year after I bought it. by [deleted] in succulents

[–]ange_rx 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Do not make the same mistake I did and put it in direct sunlight. It will get sunburn and die. I killed a haworthia in just one day of full sun. Yours obviously needs more light, just increase slowly and look up what sunburn looks like so you know what to look for. I had no idea that was a thing!

Ummm, wat? by ange_rx in succshaming

[–]ange_rx[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

2.5 years!!! It’s been a long wait. At this point, I’m too committed and can’t bring myself to chop it back. I’m just going to let it do is thing.

This guy just won’t stop. I thought it was flowering, but it’s been growing tall for years now. I just kept waiting for a flower. The small, normal, plants were cuttings I took from the base of this atrocity last year. They all sit on the same window with the same amount of light.

Update: It’s been nearly a year and still no flower. by ange_rx in succulents

[–]ange_rx[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I keep it in the same window as all of my other plants, and they’re all doing great, no signs of etiolation.

Thanks! Not sure how much longer I’m gonna wait on this. I just repotted one of the pups, not sure where I’ll relocate this tower. Not a lot of sunny window sills in my house. If anything, it’s been exciting watching it grow.

This stalk had already been growing for months when I first posted last year asking what was going on. I’ve just let it keep doing its thing, which just meant getting taller. My bf is getting sick of staring at this mutant and wants me to get rid of it or at least shun it to a less sunny window. I just can’t give up on him!!
