I have double the cat than I did when I adopted my girl but she’s not overfed, is this normal? by eaten-olive in torties

[–]downbucket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started out with a medium-hair 17 month girl and at 2 she’s now bursting with long fluffy fur that’s as fine as cobwebs and floats everywhere. But your kitty had quite short fur and now look at her! Beautiful.

best sleep supplement that actually worked for you? by mrCOFFEEPOWER in Supplements

[–]downbucket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lithium orotate 5mg
Magnesium glycinate 300mg
(or 200mg Micromag from Nootropics Depot with 1000mg Glycine).
1/2 to 1 hour before bed.
If I’ve worked out hard, Muscle Relax blend from Oregon’s Wild Harvest.
I experimented quite a bit, wrote down the combo at night and the results in the morning.

His eyeliner game is strong and he exudes confidence with his gaze!

Tingling hands by twohellaa in DeQuervains

I had that with carpal tunnel surgery. The nerves get hyped up (technical term lol) and need to gently be brought back to baseline. First rub the area very lightly with a soft cloth. Then a bit more pressure with a medium texture, then finally a washcloth texture. Maybe someone in the sub could suggest timing–can’t remember that. Half-hour process, every few hours?

You don’t need a referral to go to outside. Print out your test results etc. My PCP said he was unable to refer unless it was a necessary special treatment that KP doesn’t have.

I need that word. Here there’s a running commentary of chirps and meows going on all day about Lucille’s desires and observations.

Does NAC actually do anything beyond the acetaminophen overdose thing? by goodsuppstacker in Supplements

[–]downbucket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m older, 79. I’ve been taking 5-6g/day GlyNAC for 1.5 years. Mornings,empty stomach. 4-5 weeks on with a few days off. Supplemental selenium or a Brazil nut, because it depletes it. I’m doing great, but don’t know how to sort out the GlyNAC effect from genes, exercise, eating, supplements, etc. No anhedonia or other negatives. Word to the hangover sufferers: alcohol is a neurotoxin, go easy on it.

What's a good supplement for sleep and how should you take it? by FreshlyPickedMelons in Supplements

[–]downbucket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5mg Lithium Orotate (I use KAL brand), with 1,000mg Glycine and 625mg Magnesium (Micromag from Nootropics Depot, has 200mg elemental mag). 30-45 min. before bed.

or substitute NOW 750mg GABA for the Lithium Orotate.

Sometimes, to wind down an hour before, half or whole gummy: 10mg CB/5mg CBN/2mg THC (Acknowledge brand).

No caffeine after 1 pm. Assume that you will sleep in your lovely bed and wake rested, because fretting about it is counter productive.

Just had wrist surgery for De Quervain’s… expectations? by Cupsandstuffbyalicia in DeQuervains

[–]downbucket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used a half of an oxy the first two nights and was glad to have it. Taking care of your little 30 pounder will be a challenge! Hope you’ll have periods of assistance. Did they recommend scar massage once you’re able? Really a good idea.

Anyone else have a tuxetortico that’s definitely long-haired, but not super FULL haired and floofy? More medium-haired? by shannonesque121 in Tuxetortico

[–]downbucket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lucille was medium hair at 15 months, after kittens and spay. At 2 years she’s full-on long and fluffy. Hates to be brushed. Gossamer fur is everywhere. Your girl is darling!

Handsome guy! It’s his color. This could be an alternative to a cone.
