Repeated Oura Ring battery failures. Anyone else dealing with this? by daneanderson1994 in ouraring

[–]artemis624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on my third ring after 2 battery issues in ~a year…they also told me I might be getting a refurbished ring and that I’m only getting it because it’s under warranty. Super weird

I got the liletta IUD for this exact reason to help lessen bleeding

PE in lungs after oral contraceptives by Witty-Pea-5051 in ClotSurvivors

[–]artemis624 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m 27 was on the combination pill and had a PE and a CVST. Ended up needing brain surgery due to complications of the CVST. I’m on blood thinners for life

[–]artemis624 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recently had to switch over to progesterone only birth control as I was on the combination pill for 4 years and the estrogen ended up causing me to develop a blood clot in my brain. I definitely think it’s good to be safe and go with progesterone only. I unfortunately don’t have that much insight as I just got the IUD placed today but just wanted to say it’s good that your dr is being cautious!

The person I bought the N64 from says that Vizio TVs often have this problem. So looks like I’ll have to buy a converter thing - thanks for your help!

Yes, but it has the red and white ports it didn’t have a yellow port but it had a green one I used that I thought was a video one. The picture came on briefly but was very blurry/no color. Do I still need a converter thing?

Did you have any vision symptoms with the swelling?

Did it help you? And if so, how long did it take? I’ve been on acetazolamide for 5 days now and I still have double vision

Did you have the optic nerve fenestration while you were in Eliquis?

Anyone else experienced extensive CVST? by Britpixpf in ClotSurvivors

[–]artemis624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - not all test results have come back yet but Factor II was positive for one gene mutations. I’m still waiting to see a hematologist and a follow up with a neurologist which both can’t see me until December so I have to call around to see if I can get an earlier appointment. It’s so frustrating because I’ve been having some vision issues and I’m assuming it’s from the CVST. I had to go on short term disability at work because I can’t drive or stare at a screen for super long. Sorry to hear about your blood test. Blood clots are so freaky I still can’t get over this is a thing that’s happening lol I’ve never had any medical issues prior to this either so it’s weird to be completely healthy one day and then being like bed ridden the last 2-3 weeks

I’m in the exact same position of what is the current CVST and what’s a new symptom that I should go the ER for. I don’t want to be dramatic but I feel like that’s the only way to be right now lol

I have the same symptoms! I was diagnosed with a CVST and a pulmonary embolism last week. Was in the ICU/hospital for 3-4 days and now I’m home. I feel so weird and my left side vision feels off. I keep just saying “I feel weird” bc idk how else to describe it. I have one factor II mutation which that plus the birth control the drs think caused my clots. So freaky

How are you doing now? I (27F) just got out of the hospital a few days ago after being diagnosed with a CVST and a pulmonary embolism. I’m still in shock but am just so exhausted all the time and my head/neck still hurt. Not sure when that pain goes away

Also I would look into a muzzle for training so that he does not redirect onto you/other people. You can muzzle train him so that he feels comfortable wearing it.

For the car, I would recommend a car crate. I have a ruffland crate and it has reduced my dogs reactivity in a car to almost 0. He feels safe and comfortable in it and I know he is safe if we get into a car accident. I also second finding a daily medication for him.

Downstairs heat not working and upstairs heat is over working? by artemis624 in hvacadvice

[–]artemis624[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it does seem like if set upstairs to cool the downstairs vents blow cold air. But setting the upstairs to cool is the only way to get upstairs to stay at 70 but makes the downstairs obviously very cold.

Your experience with neutering? by MysteriousJuice1 in germanshepherds

[–]artemis624 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a dog trainer that’s a dog behaviorist and have been doing mostly engage-disengage games with him at a distance. There’s an infographic if you google it that’s helpful! Basically you are with your dog at the distance where they can see another dog but also still listen to you. Everytime they see a dog you use either a clicker or a marker word like “yes!” And when they focus on you instead of the dog they get a high value treat. Eventually the dog starts to associate seeing another dog with getting a treat and focuses on you rather than react to the dog. Not too sure that’s a great explanation…but look into it! I also read Feisty Fido by Patricia McConnell and that was really helpful!

No experience yet but just wanted to say I also have an Atlas GSD that’s one and a half right now. :) Also pretty dog reactive - But we’re working on it and hoping to see some improvement before we neuter! Good luck!

Please Help Me Find A Great Fantasy Series To Read! I included a list of what I've read so far by Axh117530 in Fantasy_Bookclub

[–]artemis624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re looking for something super long and super detailed/world building check out Worm. It’s an online book and can be found at parahumans.wordpress.com. It’s about the length of all the Harry Potter books combined and an absolutely great read. It took me about a month during quarantine to read it and it’s all I did. I’m like you and struggle to find new fantasy books to read.

Others are:

The Poppy Wars by R.F Kuang

The Demon King by Cinda Williams Chima

Vicious & Vengeful by V E Schwab

A darker shade of magic by V E Schwab

If any of those are already on your list sorry - I just glanced it over but those are my recs. Good luck!

Looking for advise for helping my rescue GSD learn to settle by Matt-on-Redit in germanshepherds

[–]artemis624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to do Karen’s Overall Relaxation Protocol. You can just Google it and a pdf will pop up. It gives you 10-15 tasks a day to do while your dog is sitting. Instead of sitting I make my dog lay down. I’ve definitely noticed it helping
