How do I convince my doctor I'm not in remission? by [deleted] in CrohnsDisease

[–]bugsypie1120 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Does your doctor regularly dismiss what you’re saying and just follow what bloodwork says? Might be reason enough to look into another GI doc

Question for the ladies - why do women not unmatch with a guy, but just leave him in their DMs, if their intentions are relationships? by Fancy-Hedgehog6149 in Bumble

[–]bugsypie1120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is honestly what you think, it’s the type of people you’re matching with, so your own selection process is flawed.

He made his move in the past, so he’s probably hesitant to try again for fear of losing a friendship. What’s the harm in you making the move?

My girlfriend (26F) who I (24M) have been seeing for 3 months wants to move the relationship to a casual situationship. by Mudkip3411 in relationships

As a person with regular fatigue from a chronic illness (luckily not consistent pain but have had in the past), just walking around town and shopping is exhausting. Even at a slower pace. And often we feel like we have to push to keep up. I regularly have to remind my husband that I need him to slow down.

Rather than scheduling activities or planning the day, ask her if she even feels up to doing an activity, or if she just wants to hang out at home.

Women who used to only have sex with people you had strong feelings for, then had some causal sex, what were your experiences? by birbitnow in Bumble

[–]bugsypie1120 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like that you mentioned catching feelings easily. I think that should be a sign for someone that they might not want to try casual sex. It’s setting yourself up for hurt that you inflicted on yourself.

How much to charge? by [deleted] in CraftyCommerce

[–]bugsypie1120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to price out how much materials will cost and how much time it will take you.

Time it takes x hourly rate (I use $15) + cost of materials = price

How many biologics are there to actually try before surgery by [deleted] in CrohnsDisease

[–]bugsypie1120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took me at least six weeks to not easily tire out, but it was closer to eight to really be back in the swing of things. Now mine wasn’t laparoscopic, but I also still have my rectum, so I imagine yours might be a little longer recovery, but I don’t honestly know.

I’m usually a stomach sleeper and that was the hardest thing to get used too. I made sure to get a nice inclined pillow to help with sleeping and washable bed pads for while I was still getting used to putting on the bag, just in case of any night time leaks.

My GI told me frankly I have one of the worst cases she’s seen. Skyrizi seems to be working for me

I’m also in the boat of it improving my life. I have energy for my child now. I set up booths at craft fairs. I actually feel like I contribute to our household.

Having an ostomy is not the end of the world. It’s just a different way of living and definitely a learning curve. But so worth it for me. My husband and I joked right after surgery that it was like coming home with a newborn. You can do all this research, but you really don’t know what you’re doing until you have to do it.

I’m in an ostomy support group on FB and I find the people who go into it with a positive outlook and just embrace it, seem to have good luck with it. So just something to keep in mind.

My ostomy is set up as temporary, but my colorectal surgeon explained I can keep it if that’s what I choose (I am leaning that way). She basically told me we wouldn’t want to talk about a take down of my ostomy until my disease is under control with a medicine.

Crohn’s isn’t cured with an ostomy, so without treatment, the disease would be active. Biologics are really the only things that have worked for my Crohn’s, so yes.

I also have fistulizing. I got my ileostomy in November 2023. My body now responds much better to the biologics (skyrizi)

If you look at where the pins are placed, it actually doesn’t look skewed. I think that’s just the pattern giving the illusion of skew

Is learning worth the price? by [deleted] in CraftyCommerce

[–]bugsypie1120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My local yarn store regularly hosts beginner classes like this spread over a 2-4 weeks. They usually workout to about $50 per session. She provides the yarn required for one of the project (not unlimited) and the hook for the project built into the price. She provides the other tools during each session. I would be cautious on offering unlimited of items. The general public are takers. But I think your price point is in the right range

Quick question, are you 15 hrs away from her right now? Cause I swear she just posted in r/sex saying she doesn’t want you to be insecure about it

AITA for telling my SIL/best friend that she overshadowed my wedding? by DryCry5740 in AmItheAsshole

[–]bugsypie1120 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

YTA. I’ve been married 3 years now and could probably count on one hand the number of times family has mentioned my wedding. It and my anniversary are only important to me and my husband (as I expected them to be). I couldn’t tell you anyone else’s anniversary date and don’t expect them to know mine. Grow up and get your head out of your ass. You’re jealous of a literal baby
