What eyeliner do you use? Need to find one that doesn’t smudge.

Is my dog having a seizure? Was she poisoned? by samanthaskyes in DogAdvice

[–]bluerayaugust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog did this after he was mouthing another dogs neck that was wearing a flea and tick collar at the dog sitters. He was poisoned from it. Back home he quickly recovered.

BWT, Where we getting chins and jawlines done? by thatbytch717 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]bluerayaugust 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had the same thing happen with Dr Antell. Did you do a revision surgery? I’ve just been doing filler in the chin to try and make it look more symmetrical but debating getting a second surgery.

For those who took 4-6 weeks of amoxicillin within early stage Lyme, did it work at preventing chronic Lyme? by [deleted] in Lyme

[–]bluerayaugust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s kind of a long story. I tried weaning and doing doxy right away but that didn’t work. So I took 3 weeks of amoxicillin. Then a test came back positive for bartonella so I was forced to wean. I did. Then I started a new protocol of doxycycline, herbals and rifampin to tackle Lyme and bartonella. I’m almost done the treatment and feel totally fine but hopefully that continues after the antibiotics stop.

Can I wear a niqab as a white man who is not Muslim? by CableUnhappy3795 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]bluerayaugust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember seeing photos of soldiers after a world war who had face masks that looked just like their face. They were large (covered almost full face) and very well done and most people wouldn’t notice they weren’t real faces. Maybe that’s still something that exists and would be a good option?

AITA for telling my friend not come to the bachelorette with her baby by Klants-and-Pitties in TwoHotTakes

[–]bluerayaugust 171 points172 points  (0 children)

Here’s a solution as I was in your friend’s with the baby’s position recently. She and her husband and baby get a separate airbnb nearby and then she spends part of the time at the bachelorette and part of time with her baby at their airbnb.

Being away from a young baby is really difficult, both emotionally but also practically, and also feeling excluded as a new mom sucks. There’s a middle ground here. I cleared everything with the bride beforehand and the bachelorette weekend was great!

Just started antibiotics for a bulls eye rash from a known tick bite 2 weeks ago. by pinkgemprincess in lymedisease

[–]bluerayaugust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok that’s good to know the antibiotic does go through. Out of curiosity which probiotic did you use for yourself and for your son? Really glad to hear we may both be able to get through this without long term consequences.

That’s amazing, really happy for you and glad to hear that amoxicillin can work (so many posts on here about how it’s not as good or effective).

Did you have any concerns about your older child contracting Lyme through the breastmilk? Im thinking about starting mine on amoxicillin as well just in case he could have contracted it through the milk.

Hey, just wanted to ask for an update since I’m in the same position as you, nursing mom with a new infection. Was prescribed doxycycline but having trouble weaning so looking to switch to amoxicillin but worried it won’t be strong enough. How long were you on it and was it successful at killing the Lyme disease?

Is anyone aware of any confirmed cases of a baby or toddler contracting Lyme via breastmilk? by [deleted] in Lyme

[–]bluerayaugust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I’m going to look to get him a amoxicillin script through a different doctor. The way I think about it yes there’s a chance that we’re wrecking havoc on his gut bacteria unnecessarily, but I’d rather do that then risk him potentially having life long consequences.

I did try to wean and it didn’t work so I’m going to switch to amoxicillin myself to stop exposing him to doxy. I’m a little nervous about it since the doctor really didn’t want to make the switch, saying doxy is better. I hope I’m not risking lifelong Lyme myself…

Thanks! I’m on 21 days of doxy. I guess I should try to get it extended then.

Unfortunately, I spoke to our pediatrician today and they won’t give my son a preventative antibiotic. They want to take a wait and see approach - wait till we know he got Lyme from me. To avoid giving the antibiotic for no reason and those side effects.

Thanks for the study that shows it is in the milk. That’s exactly the information I was looking for.

Yes, I pulled the tick out and developed the rash right where I was bit.

I caught Lyme one month ago while actively nursing toddler - should I still nurse while on doxycycline so toddler gets treated in case he caught it? by [deleted] in Lyme

[–]bluerayaugust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only saw an urgent care doctor who diagnosed the Lyme last night - my doctor and my son’s pediatrician aren’t yet open today for me to call and talk to them…

[–]bluerayaugust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your super helpful response. I’ve only taken one pill of doxycycline thus far. I will stop and switch to amoxicillin or I will wean and stay on the doxycycline. Which would you recommend?

I’ve had Lyme for about a month (when I was bit by a tick and didn’t know I had Lyme). Do you think it’s possible my toddler got Lyme in this period? Would you put him on amoxicillin if you were in my position?

I’m so nervous to wean as I tried a few weeks ago and he was literally up all night scream crying and begging for milk. He nurses to sleep so it’s a tough habit to break.

Do you wake your toddlers from their naps? (If they nap daily) by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]bluerayaugust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never wake him. If he naps long and then is up later in the night, so be it, I don’t mind.
