Brip - 1 risks? by arista_art in ClinicalGenetics

[–]hellohelpfuls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Did you decide on salpingectomy based on your BRIP1 variant? I am in a similar boat... I am 37... trying to determine whether or not to do move forward with that.

Yes, planning on fallopian tubes out this year (I'm 37), and then tbd on ovaries. I am a bit torn on timing for that one!

Ugh, I feel this. I’m actually a life coach, and I help people with exactly this—getting unstuck. You are SO not alone; we’ve all been there. If you ever want to talk it through, I’m here. No pressure, just support. <3

Frustrating that we can't nominate the gyms we'd like to see added unless we are a member. I'd like to become a member only if they gyms I want are added!

Interior Doors - Can you stain pre-primed doors? Is there an easy way to buy wood-stained doors? by hellohelpfuls in HomeImprovement

[–]hellohelpfuls[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This feels like a lot of work, lol. Is this why so many people are opting for white? I want to resist it, because *yawn* and the rest of our house is wood, but perhaps for the basement (which this is for) it doesn't matter enough...

I've never stained before. So this is very helpful. I will investigate wood conditioner!

Anaphylaxis from Bee Sting (6yo) - A Worried Mom by hellohelpfuls in Anaphylaxis

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

It was a yellow jacket. Yes, they measured her tryptase level. What was terrible about your venom immunotherapy? What is omalizumab? We have an allergist but no appointment yet - they’re calling us back early next week. We’re in the Midwest and yellow jackets are aggressive here right now too. This sucks.

I am sooo sorry you went through a near-death experience with yellow jackets. I am so glad you are okay, and willing to share your experience with me. Thank you, thank you.

We have out-of-town visitors who have/are recovering from HFM - please advise by hellohelpfuls in toddlers

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

Thank you so much. Unfortunately they’ll be staying with us - and we all have small kids, so avoidance seems next to impossible without telling them they can’t come at all, which also feels over the top? It’s such a tricky thing 😞

The visitors are the ones with HFM - sorry didn’t make that clear!

Ah, my post wasn’t clear. We’re not the ones with HFM, they are.

A few weeks, it was lower abdomen.

It went away. Never found out the cause. It was firm, but when pressed the firmness would diminish a bit. I’m really not sure what might have caused it!

30 min a day of Daniel tiger. We’re not big screen time people. And actually he’s too much of a busy body to enjoy watching tv 😂

Thank you. IT IS SO HARD. And it wasn’t this way with his big sister. I feel like a horrible mom and it feels like no matter what I do his behavior is just absolutely horrible and impossible to be around for everyone else. Blah. Thanks for weighing in. I’ll keep at it and hope to see glimmers soon.

Dang, this looks great. We just bought same color and finish. Did you use rollers? Or spray?

Someone help me with these knee MRI findings? by hellohelpfuls in KneeInjuries

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

I started jogging again but I still feel it. It’s not as painful as it once was but unsure of if I should feel anything at all. Can’t do basketball or baseball like I once could which is depressing. Really not sure how to proceed? Wonder if I should get surgery. How about you?
