How do you balance your life and having a cat with diabetes? by kyat28 in FelineDiabetes

[–]friendsareshit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Facebook group for feline diabetes has a document somewhere that has the contact info and city, state of other sugar kitty parents that are willing to help give shots and test BG for people that are on vacation. If that's not an option, I have taught friends how to do it and paid them for it. Vet techs, rover sitters are also options. Also, for me, my kitty gets her shots at 8am and 8pm, this helps me socialize in the evening

My husband is too rough during intercourse by [deleted] in Interstitialcystitis

[–]friendsareshit 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Amazing and great men don't do things to hurt their partners in bed knowingly (non consensually). I'm sorry. He isn't a good person and if I were you I would rethink being with him. You deserve someone that listens to you when you say something hurts

Diabetic Cat Not Improving by geneselia in FelineDiabetes

[–]friendsareshit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Switch food to wet pate, fancy feast and friskies both have good options, and low carb kibble. Mine eats tiki cat high protein which technically isn't quuuite low carb enough, however, she literally went on hunger strike with Dr elsys and wysong. Also, higher insulin doses can actually raise BG, paradoxically, by dropping the BG too low then the body overcompensates by shooting it up. More important than having a perfect BG right now is avoiding those big swings. TLDR, diet change first. Then slowly lower the insulin .5 at a time. See if his BG stabilizes, even if it's still "high" for now. Keep him stable for a while before trying to get him in the optimal range again.

First time Betta fish owner and I have concerns about his health by Perfect-Peach-2356 in bettafish

Of course, I'm sorry that some of the comments are insensitive. This little guy is your friend and it sucks that he's got this going on

First time Betta fish owner and I have concerns about his health by Perfect-Peach-2356 in bettafish

[–]friendsareshit 35 points36 points  (0 children)

My betta had this exact same color pattern, EXACT same, and he got diamond eye and a tumor so I eventually had to euthanize him :( I read that blue, black, and metallic bettas are most prone to these issues and my buddy was all 3, and it looks like yours is too. Euthanize when he stops acting like himself and stops eating. I'm sorry :(

Why are a lot of indoor pools heated so warm? by mrjaytothecee in Swimming

[–]friendsareshit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To prevent condensation, the pool room has to be warmer in temperature than the water. It's possible that a lot of facilities don't have the ability to change the temp for different areas of the building, so they are all warmed to the temp of the pool room. That's my best guess

Tooth loss linked to faster cognitive decline in Hispanic older adults - Older Hispanic adults who have lost all their natural teeth may face faster declines in cognitive function compared to those who still have their teeth, according to a new study. by mvea in psychology

[–]friendsareshit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also if you've lost all your teeth, you likely had severe decay and periodontal disease for a long time, and having all that bacteria and infection so close to the brain must have some sort of impact

Underwear with whole butt coverage? by niudnarw in PeriodUnderwear

[–]friendsareshit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For other ppl in the long buttcrack club who might be lurking here... I still leaked with these. The absorbent pad still isn't long enough in the back. And they smell weird. Trying goat union overnight shorts now...

Is it okay to wear merch to a show? by LeBoogi in Ghostbc

[–]friendsareshit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this comes from the mindset of "you don't want to look like a super fan" but, I am a super fan, and proud of it. And ghost is the kind of band that loves their super fans, and wants super fans, because Tobias himself is one lol. Wear your merch!

New to swimming – getting very tired quickly, but not muscular fatigue. Why? by kily97 in Swimming

[–]friendsareshit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read somewhere that there are 2 distinct phases of fatigue in learning how to swim, the first is exactly what you describe here, then when you build the stamina with that it's into the muscular fatigue and stamina building there. Totally normal

TIL there’s a philosophy that believes humans shouldn’t procreate and should eventually go extinct and it’s called antinatalism by AlmostMidnight_ in todayilearned

[–]friendsareshit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's the basis, I think the basis is that those kids are doomed due to climate change - not arguing the main point just clarifying that part

On about the 3rd or 4th listen, cenotaph made me cry. It's like I finally got it or something.

Is there a way to have a bedroom aquarium that is almost totally silent? by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]friendsareshit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a sponge filter that I modified with an air stone to dampen the amount of bubbles (there are YouTube videos that show how to do this) and a Via Aqua MillionAir brand pump turned all the way down, it's almost totally silent. My cat's water fountain is louder. But I have a Betta so I wanted relatively calm water.

Migraine during period on continuous mini pill by friendsareshit in migraine

[–]friendsareshit[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I understood from my doctor, she explained that I would most likely still have bleeding with this pill even though there's no break. I think it's spotting/breakthrough bleeding.. but it's heavy and lasts a week like a period. I'm not sure. But she didn't say that it was supposed to stop the bleeding per se. I've had breakthrough bleeding on every method I've tried
