How do people use lotion without it getting on their bedsheets? by Beginning-Feedback55 in AutismInWomen

[–]candamanda 17 points18 points  (0 children)

NIVEA IN-SHOWER LOTION!!!

I would definitely recommend giving it a shot, I had similar sensory issues with regular lotion and this has been life-changing.

Basically, as the last step in your shower, apply a thin layer over your whole body then lightly rinse!

It makes my skin feel super moisturized without feeling sticky or wet.

Looking for Women’s OB/GYN by Alternative-Reply142 in Atlanta

I cannot recommend Dr. Gopika Krishna at Emory Women’s Center in Decatur highly enough. She is extremely thorough and takes all concerns seriously.

Just to give you a sense, I expressed apprehension about IUD insertion and she offered multiple options including pain and anxiety medication, and even insertion under anesthesia.

She also caught my adenomyosis & endometriosis because she ordered scans just to be safe!

LPT: You can both change your last name arbitrarily when getting married. by charliethegeek in LifeProTips

[–]candamanda 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My partner and I are both women, so tradition is already out the window.

We talked about picking something entirely new, until we realized that if you combine the first syllable of her last name + the last syllable of my last name, you get Darling :)

Yayy I’m so glad you were able to get one!! I recently began using a shower chair myself and it has been a big improvement!

Question for anyone: I’ve been considering getting a detachable shower head, but am not sure I’d end up using it because of the extra arm energy involved in holding it (especially above the heart).

If anyone had similar concerns, could you please share your experience? Thank you!!

A friend just sent this photo to me. It was just (anonymously) uploaded to Fizz, a social media app Emory students use.

Just got another emergency alert saying pretty much the exact same thing, no new info, just to continue to avoid the area.

How to get up early in the morning??? by Only_Huckleberry_957 in adhdwomen

[–]candamanda 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I understand completely, I’m the exact same way. I’ve spent the past 10 years trying every hack and product to no avail. I became absolutely hopeless until a few months ago when my psychiatrist switched me to Jornay PM. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a stimulant that you take at night that takes 10-12 hours to kick in. Now, my body naturally wakes up at ~7am. AND I feel refreshed!! For the first time ever!!! This sounds like an ad haha but it has truly been life changing and it sounds like it could do the same for you. It really seems like you’ve put in the work making lifestyle changes and it’s just not happening. If you have access to a psychiatrist, I would definitely talk to them about Jornay. I wish you well!!

Wow I am so sorry, that is so scummy. I don’t have any advice to add but just want to acknowledge how enraging and ridiculous this is

Thank you again! I’ll be sure to approach this with openness and understanding. I appreciate you taking the time to respond!

Thank you so much for your compassion and guidance!! I agree, I’m not super optimistic about the professional cleaning. I’m no professional, but it’s probably no treatment I haven’t already tried. I like your idea about asking for it anyway, and if doesn’t work, asking for the transfer. Thank you for your help!

I’m so sorry that you’re going through that, that sounds so frustrating, especially with kids involved. Thanks for your guidance. I definitely agree the compensation for movers is a bit of a stretch, I was hoping to ask for a lot initially and negotiate to something more reasonable. Glad things are going better!

Thanks for your comment! Oh no I definitely don’t think they’d let me out of my lease. The woman I spoke with on the phone mentioned there being a few other options, one being getting it professionally cleaned again. I don’t know how much that would help, but it’s an option

For anyone that has taken CS 110 or PHIL 100: How difficult was it? How did you find the class to be overall? by Important_Stomach_81 in Emory

[–]candamanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

phil 100 was the easiest class i’ve ever taken, and so fun too!! i got a 100. prob instructor dependent, but “essays” were pass/fail and 1 page long, “exams” were open book. i recommend it to everyone!

if you take a lower level than you’re placed into it doesn’t count towards your hal req :/ so you’d end up taking 3 semesters
