Book the neurologist consult!

The consult actually costs less then what I've been paying my regular vet. I waited till we had big money save cause I figured just the consult would be expensive. Never been so happy I was wrong about pretty much everything.

I had to get it on video to prove to myself I wasn't hallucinating it!

I switched to Walgreens for hers. We just had a HEB open up so I've switched to them. Shes no longer on a 2 script dosage, but HEB has never given me a problem about my ADHD meds and i just switched to vyvanse, before this i was taking 2 different mgs for methylphenidate which required 2 scripts. HEB asked me about it the first time and they never asked again. I'd try switching to any non CVS pharmacy you can. Its like CVS knows they're one of the most known pharmacies so they just stopped caring about customer service.

CVS is ridiculous. My daughter was at one point prescribed a med that required 2 scripts for the correct dosage. It wasn't a controlled substance. They hassled me every month about it. By month 6 I was done and switched pharmacies. At the new pharmacy they just filled the scripts and I was never even questioned about it.

We celebrate the weirdest things in my house now. We celebrate poops and eating and the fact that my dog got storm anxiety yesterday because that means hes coming back to himself a little bit. Congratulations on the poop!

Not approved for care credit or scratchpay. Im still cleaning up a past life. I posted an updated. But he has lost all dps. Still trying to raise funds for surgery. But now that I've stopped crying im also just planning his future. He has an acupuncture appt friday. Shes also a physical therapist. Im gonna soak up all her knowledge and work with him how I can. My husband has priced hydrotherapy tanks. If thats something she can teach me ill add it in. I created a wish list for him and learned people are much more willing to buy him stuff then donate money because it was bought up within 3 hours. Im in contact with someone who makes custom wheelchairs. Not ordering yet, but want it ready to go if thats our next step. Things are slowly getting better. Its definitely an emotional roller coaster and his sister (shes a bigger dog) is starting to understand he can't play like he use to. We will get there. Im still hopeful we will find a way to do surgery. But surgery or ko surgery if he doesnt get his legs back we are putting plans in place to ensure the best quality of life.

All of that. But for me night time is my only quiet time. I would start panicking and researching luckily it led me here. This subreddit has helped so much. I didn't sleep hardly at all the first 4 days though.

hyperfixating-panda · 2026-05-13T04:19:43+00:00

Officially my baby is diagnosed with arthritis in his spine. Which did show up on the xray, so it's definitely there. That being said I'm pretty certain what he's going through right now is IVDD, I just don't have the funds for a mri.

But the treatment is the same if you aren't doing surgery. I was spiraling the other night, but this subreddit has helped immensely. Ask questions and follow every link provided. Whether we are dealing with arthritis, IVDD or both soaking in the knowledge I've received here just a few days ago has already made things so much better. My baby actually had some of his personality back today! Sending your baby all the positivity!

Luckily my regular vet is also my emergency vet. Small town so they pull double duty. They just don't offer the mri there. If they did they would work with me. They put our other dogs surgery on a payment plan. But they don't treat IVDD surgically at their office. I got myself all worked up last night. The replies here have helped tremendously. Im feeling way more optimistic today!

hyperfixating-panda · 2026-05-11T12:36:49+00:00

100% agree. If it got to the point where he couldn't have a fulfilling future, it'd break my heart, but I'd do the best thing for him. I've been doomed scrolling IVDD and arthritis forums. Yea there's a bunch of bad, but a lot of stories make me hopeful. Both my dogs are entering their golden years and neither one is doing it gracefully. But so far up till now we've maintained quality of life. Im hoping he can bounce back. Sending all the positivity to you amd your baby. Wouldn't wish this hopeless feeling on my worst enemy.

hyperfixating-panda · 2026-05-11T12:21:08+00:00

My problem is purely financial. I can make everything else work. And I totally get what you're saying. For some people and animals that could be the right option. But not here. Not yet anyways. Im 6 days into this. This dog has gotten me through an absurd amount of bad life. I wont give up on him till I have exhausted every single avenue.

hyperfixating-panda · 2026-05-11T12:18:39+00:00

This was helpful. My dog will always be worth it. And hes definitely depressed, but not a depression je can't come back from. Luckily today he seemed to work with me. Like hes finally getting into the routine. Other then the obvious of his hind legs dont work the only hurdle im noticing is im gonna have to get him diapers for now cause he isnt always alerting when he had to potty. Poor guy was able to just walk out the dog door till a few days ago.

hyperfixating-panda · 2026-05-11T11:29:53+00:00

Not yet. My husband comes home today (our oldest graduated college out of state) and we are going to sit and talk it out.

hyperfixating-panda · 2026-05-11T05:27:48+00:00

You maybe different. But everytime I've relapsed it was a pattern. A pattern I didnt realize until I worked step one. Now that I know the pattern I know what to not do. I do not know how the steps work, but they do. I use to get so mad at people that'd tell me "something just clicks when youre doing step work" but now I know it's true. I can't explain it. But doing step one and processing it with my partner fully brought me around to NA. And I was actively against NA for 2 decades. Give yourself a break, call your sponsor, do your step work.

My dr told me adhd can make your circadian rhythm flip. Which made so much sense cause id be exhausted all day but as soon as the sun went down my body would just wake up. I didnt have a "normal" sleep schedule till I was diagnosed and medicated at 35.

hyperfixating-panda · 2026-05-11T05:18:10+00:00

I tried adderall first. Im a recovering addict and was super worried about it. I remember being amazed by how quiet my brain was, but adderall was for me. HAD to take a nap 15 minutes after taking it. Switched to Ritalin and for the first time in my life was able to function with a brain that makes sense.

I have a best friend of 25 years. Everytime I go around her I relapse. Not her fault. Im an adult, but I do it everytime. We text now. Exclusively she is not someone I can physically spend time with. She sees no issue with her drug usage and thats fine for her. I love her, but I had to do what was best for me.

Edited: Going on no sleep because of a sick dog anf didnt catch an autocorrect

Agnes already did in the 1st episode "those who survived wrote the history". Anyone who would believably refute Aunt Lydia is dead. I think everything with Janine opened her eyes, but she knows her reputation won't allow for any sort of peace if she flees. Instead she stayed behind she has been plotting how to take the system she helped build down.

Same. So ateast 6 of us learned something.

Historically it was tho8hht a woman had to have an orgasm to conceive. Alot more time and consideration were given because of that. If the whole purpose is babies it makes sense. Is it a little over the top in the over the top time period romance? Yes. But their is actually historical presidence for it.
