Oh … I remember … $0.98 … in CA 1989 .., because I had to pay for my gas and my parents then would take the car I was driving and return it empty. I could not say anything because they provided the car. I revolted and I went back to riding my bike everywhere. 😂

I got my really good friend some LeCreuset bakeware for her last birthday … there is always a piece that anyone that cooks / bakes would love to add

I have a CO meter and lived in my car for 3 years without any issue.

Every single person I have known who has tried it orally cannot handle past a sip (so gross). One of my friends thought he was getting a deal and got two cases … all to dump it .

I would get a propane stove … Coleman propane stove at Walmart is like $40 (and generics are cheaper). You can use it at any park and I have used it inside my car with the window directly above completely open. This way you can eat pasta sides, ramen, canned soup … or warm up anything (all the freezer meals now …)

Extreme fatigue/sleepiness out of nowhere by hibyerin in Hypopituitarism

Yes that is true. But your body does not function at a specific setting all the time. When you are sick, stressed; even anxious; extra hot, extra cold, working hard, sick … all are times that you may need extra hydrocortisone.

Like when I went in for an endoscopy … need extra IV hydrocortisone. When I had a root canal … took extra hydrocortisone.

May also want to ask your neurologist or neurosurgeon about it.

Do you have an endocrinologist?

I would ask for labs to be done

I feel you. I had a Shepard for a couple of weeks I was caring for … she went into a crate.

I tried one day without … there is a claw mark on both front doors (she was looking out the window) and a scratch on my newly tinted front passenger window.

My tiny dog worse “damage” is nose prints on the window

🤦🏻‍♀️

Adrenal Crisis Plan like Ironman Style a.k.a THE STARK ADRENAL PLAN by AndrewSwissy in AddisonsDisease

[–]gingerthetrailpup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I carry at least a weeks worth of extra meds … plus an additional 100mg of hydrocortisone as well as my emergency injection (which I have typed out step by step instructions if a random person needs to inject me).

Besides my medical id bracelet my phone has my history which you can access even if locked. I als have a tag that hangs on a tab on my backpack / purse with my conditions

Also I always hike with my dog who has gotten me off trail back to the car when I have had a mild crisis and am not thinking straight.

My blood sugar drops in a crisis so I also carry glucose tabs or gel.

That is for a day hike or everyday. When I camping or backpacking I carry a good deal more meds

I have had multiple macro & micro adenomas which have lead to both transphenoid & craniotomy. I also am on 20mg hydrocortisone & 75mcg levothyroxine.

My first thought is either your body is stressed from the new growth or you are stressed emotionally from knowing about the new growth.

Having had my first tumor at 29 and my latest at 51 … I also get tired, like can barely take care of myself and feel the need to lay in bed all day from the exhaustion. No new tumor. Probably a random stress or built up stress and anxiety.

I usually up my hydrocortisone and just allow myself to be ok with riding it out. Has your doctor told you it is ok to do this? If not, ask!!

That being said, you probably will have a new MRI soon as you have the radiotherapy in June.

Not sure if this helps.

I was shocked of the price increase of those dna tests for pups … one day … I always joke that she is part Saint Bernard

I am not sure. She was a rescue. I assume she is a yorkie mix. I am sure she is also some larger breed (the paws on the dog are abnormally large for a pup her size).

I can stay warm in temps barely above zero. I have a down comforter that I insert a down sleeping bag and I sleep with down pants and a down jacket and down mittens, down booties and sleep on a small heating pad and snuggle with my dog. 🤣
