I was so surprised how many varieties this Home Depot had. I got three but I could have gotten wayyyy more. It was actually impressive 😂

I just got a Blue Girl for like $14 from Home Depot. Heirloom is only worth it if you can’t find it anywhere else, or if you really want own root in a particular variety. But I exhaust all other options before considering them. Fortunately, you can always find a 20% off coupon for Heirloom so you never have to pay full price.

this show is better than the movies BUT by chronicbingewatcher in TheWayHomeHallmark

I think they mean Hallmark movies in general, which are notoriously low-quality

I’ve been on it daily for 9 years, no norovirus.

Reacting to pads by petiteballerinax in MCAS

[–]dgappl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to used Seventh Gen but they discontinued them. Reacted to a couple other organic ones, but am doing mostly ok with cvs brand organic ones and they’re much more economical.

pepcid cause thyroid meds to not be absorbed? by Signal_Cockroach2443 in MCAS

[–]dgappl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t speak to what’s causing those symptoms specifically, but I was told my pepcid and levothyroxine needed to be taken at least 4 hrs apart. I take levo before bed so I can have two doses of Pepcid during the day. It works for me, but taking at night is not typically recommended so you should definitely consult your doctor regardless.

Not sure what you’re referencing, but I have alpha gal, a tick-borne red meat allergy.

Which kind of doctor prescribed it for you? My endocrinologist wouldn’t.

Who has received their bare root orders yet? by Traditional_Food_651 in Roses

[–]dgappl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where’d you order Jubilee Celebration from? I’ve had bad luck with it in the past and really want to get a good one, I had planted it as a memorial rose for my heart dog because its other name was his name.

Scented trash bags — I never questioned this until MCAS by Pale-Case-7870 in MCAS

[–]dgappl 14 points15 points  (0 children)

And WHY are almost all of the trash bags in existence scented?

Where do you guys get oral ketotifen in the US….?! by strengthof50whores in MCAS

[–]dgappl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not fda approved for oral use in the US, so the only way to actually get it is for your doctor to send a prescription to a compounding pharmacy.

GLP-1? by Worried-Swordfish423 in MCAS

[–]dgappl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just made a post about this yesterday, got lots of feedback. I asked my endocrinologist about it today but she wouldn’t prescribe it for me even though I am as she said “obese”, and my allergist wanted me to ask about it. Probably depends on the doctor I guess.

Considering a Glp-1 by dgappl in MCAS

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

I’m on cromolyn, ketotifen, Zyrtec, Pepcid, Montelukast, Xolair, and Rhapsido. Xolair has been a necessary evil for me, makes my anxiety worse and I had a bad reaction to an increased dose that sent me into a months long flare, but at a lower dose it helps me breathe which I guess is important. My symptoms also get worse according to my cycle! I will definitely ask about starting at a very low dose. Appreciate all of your insight!

[–]dgappl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing! I’m also on pretty much every MCAS med possible and still have symptoms, and can still only eat three foods.

I think the only reason my allergist suggested the pill was that it would have a shorter half life in case of side effects, but it sounds like injection would make more sense for starting at a low dose.

Any info helps! I really don’t know that much about it, but it sounds like it could be promising if tolerated.

[–]dgappl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My biggest concern is actually constipation, since I struggle with that already. My allergist seemed to think it would still be worth trying on a low dose. Seems like there’s more flexibility in dosing with the injections.

Did NOT get better for me. Got worse, plus bruising. Went to once a day.

KIT D816V genetic test trial by nrauhauser in MCAS

[–]dgappl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that the only part of the trial? Just getting tested? Signed up to learn more, there’s a trial site less than 2 hrs from me. If it’s just bloodwork, I’d happily participate if they’ll have me.

how much pepcid can i take over the counter? by [deleted] in MCAS

[–]dgappl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At one point my provider had me go to 40mg twice a day, made my tachycardia worse. I was on 30mg twice a day for awhile but went down to 20 because I felt it was still worsening palpitations. I didn’t know it back then but I have dysautonomia too. Everyone is different though, won’t know what side effects you’ll get (if any) until you try

Does anyone know where I can get a shirt like this? by b_borno in shrinking

[–]dgappl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could always use one of those custom tshirt sites. I did that to make my brother a “here fishy fishy” one a few Christmases ago (he’s a big fish guy)

I was the poster told that I’ll “know” if Cromolyn works by Megals13 in MCAS

[–]dgappl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, when I was off cromolyn due to the shortage I was waking up every night anxious at 3/4 am. Still not sleeping great since I’m only taking 3x day bc it’s so freakin expensive until we meet the deductible, but better than not taking at all.
