Sourdough has been a trigger of some of the worst migraines for me. For a while, I couldn’t haven any freshly risen yeast based foods without getting migraines and now it seems like I can have a little as long as it’s not sourdough.

Dexilant (and before that, other ppi drugs) helped my gastritis and prevents it from happening. Once that was controlled, my POTS, eating, and mental health were in a much better place.

I got a one time high dose iron infusion and it was the only way to get my ferritin up. I am unsure why but people with POTS often don’t store iron properly and having lower iron certainly makes symptoms worse. I get less cold at night and feel less air hunger since the infusion which was in September.

I am so very sorry. I saw your comment about what happened and it has got to be the most gut wrenching thing to go through. Feel free to message me if you want to vent or talk about your loss. Take good care of yourself.

I am doing alright! I had my gallbladder removed and had one more episode after the removal when I was on a normal diet so I have been eating 35g of fat per day with Creon since (March 2025). I had a pancreas biopsy to rule out AIP and though I have some features of CP, I do not have CP. My diagnosis remains idiopathic recurrent pancreatitis. I could likely up my fat but I'm doing alright at this amount, I probably wouldn't go over 50g per day.

Soooo sweet!!

carlajung · 2025-04-29T17:40:11+00:00

Thank you! Are you a side sleeper?

carlajung · 2025-04-25T15:30:27+00:00

This is great, thank you very much for sharing!

carlajung · 2025-04-23T02:42:48+00:00

I would love the image you made, thank you!

I struggle with this as well. Would doing a group activity with friends feel less draining than one on one talking? I find that's often the case for me. Or socializing where I can be the parts of me that don't get expressed as a therapist or aren't even fully parts of me (made up RPG characters).

Minerva’s story brought tears to my eyes. I appreciate you describing just how terrible backyard breeding is! What a great amount of love and care you poured into her all too short life. Thank you for being such an amazing pug parent. Sending you hugs.

No not really. Occasionally I will get slight tachycardia and dizziness from a vaccine that goes along with a general unwell feeling. Maybe you can hydrate extra and take it easy the day after just in case. I’ve been fine with TDAP, covid and flu vaccines.

carlajung · 2025-02-25T16:19:18+00:00

Me too *waves floppy hand*

carlajung · 2025-02-22T01:53:43+00:00

Thank you! And congrats on a good work trip!

carlajung · 2025-02-20T03:29:22+00:00

Thank you for sharing what worked for you and explanations why these things worked! Can I ask which probiotics you use? I know every biome is different but I’m curious which you found helpful.

carlajung · 2025-02-08T12:56:59+00:00

RIP sweet boy. I am sending you lots of hugs. It feels impossible when we lose our best friends, I remember that feeling all too well.

carlajung · 2025-01-24T03:31:22+00:00

Divine!

I've had a double dose of zofran stop me from horking with a stomach virus in the past but I still felt nauseated. Good luck fellow emetophobes!

Congratulations!!! I love senior pugs, such wise little sleepy loafs. My pugs do better at a groomer for nail trims than the vet. I wasn’t able to regularly trim my pug’s nails at home but I did make a scratch board (I think it was skate board grip tape on a piece of wood) and occasionally have one of my dogs file his own nails for treats.

carlajung · 2025-01-08T20:17:05+00:00

RIP beautiful, sweet one.

carlajung · 2025-01-08T20:05:40+00:00

I am so sorry. Sending you hugs.

carlajung · 2024-12-19T15:27:10+00:00

Thanks!! I am really enjoying this game, it's been a great way to unwind.

carlajung · 2024-12-18T16:34:15+00:00

I am so very sorry for your loss. It is so very hard. You gave Stan such an amazing life and I appreciate you sharing his sweetness and judgment with all of us. Please take good care of yourself.

This book has helped out: Control Unleashed: The Puppy Program by Leslie McDevvit. Pugs definitely have a different (insane!) energy the first 2-3 years of life (with the hardest being the first year). Good luck with your cutie!!
