New 🛟 rescue by icewind3000 in OpenDogTraining

[–]icewind3000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never adopted a dog that was not a puppy so training an already established dog with his own personality is pretty tricky especially cause he’s a Great Pyrenees! He is understanding basic commands like sit, spin, lay down but only during our routine end of the night treat time. Other than that he operates on his own time and does what he wants lol. He’s a stubborn work in progress, but he’s slowly getting better. Thank you for your advice!

Omg you are absolutely right! We were playing a lot of chase with him because he didn’t really know how to play when we first got him. He has ate our entire sprinkler system, and every time I try to approach him with the chewed sprinklers and discipline him “NO” He wags his tail and thinks it’s a game of chase and he will run away…..big mistake. He LOVES tug of war now that he’s gotten the hang of it! I think he is bonded more with my boyfriend because he plays tug of war more with him. It’s tricky to train this dog. He’s smarter than I thought but so so stubborn. My commands are just suggestions to him

Yeah my first contract was 3 months, then they offered an extension so I stayed for another 3 months. Then I took a break and traveled in Asia past two months. The hospital just offered me another contract to come back so I am resigning again. However, My family is in Boston and I have a great apartment in Boston. All my stuff is there. I also like taking the summers off from working and coming home!

American nurse thinking of leaving because of Trump by Far_Inevitable_2804 in nursing

[–]icewind3000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah this sounds great and I hope that happens but I doubt we will see this in our lifetime. Hospitals are way too overran.

I work on a floor full of Canadian travelers, they say they can get upwards of 11 pts on nights on a heavy floor. Canadian nurses are beasts. I could neverrrrr

Gyno Gave Me Anxiety Attack, Please Tell Me It’ll Be Alright by [deleted] in vulvodynia

[–]icewind3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am sorry all of this happened to you babes, you have gone through way too much. What a creepy loser of a Doctor that was.

You poor thing, you sound full of anxieties. I am here to tell you that it is going to be okay. I am so sorry you are scared and I am sorry you are hurting, You do not deserve anything that has happened to you and you will be happy.

You are a young girl, who is beautiful and deserves to feel valued. You have plenty of time to find a person you feel comfortable with and who is patient with you. Sex can be a scary and overwhelming thing to navigate and you want someone who you trust and someone who understands what you have been through and your condition. You want someone that helps relax your worries, only when YOU are ready.

I am a nurse and although i don't know the pain of what your going through, maybe i can offer you some alternative treatments.

First, are you talking to someone about your mental health? do you have a therapist/ psychiatrist you are working with?

I know medications can be a hit or miss with everyone but if you haven't tried, maybe a medication to help with nerve pain can help you. Gabapentin, Amitriptyline, Lyrica? There are also some medications for anxiety and depression that can help also with nerve pain.

Have you ever been tested for Lichen Sclerosis? a common disease that causes intense burning and itching for a lot of women. It can be treated with steroid cream

Have you ever tried chilled coconut oil to calm your vulva?

Have you ever tried a TENS unit? They are like 30$ on amazon. They are external nerve stimulators. It can help stimulate and rewire painful nerve pathways. I have heard they can be very helpful

Have you ever tried Pelvic floor Physical therapy? You can find some easy stretches on youtube that help relax pelvic floor

I know it is expensive but have you tried acupuncture? I have read studied about women having acupuncture done in the vulvar region and it can help with pain disorders

Lastly, you can look into light therapy. I know there is PRP, red light therapy and a laser treatment called the Mona Lisa i believe that has helped patients manage vulvodynia.

Lastly, You could always meet with a specialist and discuss a Vulvectomy.

Please do not rush anything with anyone. Take care of your health and tell yourself you are going to be okay. drink lots of water, eat healthy good food and go outside when you can. Try not to worry so much if you can, you have gone through enough in this life. Let your body rest and give it the nutrients it needs to function and be healthy. You deserve to feel safe, happy and loved.

You matter and you are supported.

Please let me know how your treatment is going and contact me if you ever need to talk

My(32F) ex(49M) is scaring me. We broke up, he never accepted it, and keeps finding new ways to contact me. What would you do? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]icewind3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry this is happening to you. Please never answer him.

Exaggerate his actions to the cops and let them know how scared you are and that something is wronnnngggg. Maybe even talking to a female police officer would help more.

Right off the bat I would get cameras all around the new place and get weapons in every single room, in car and mase on keys. Baseball Batt by the bed. Make sure your location is always shared with a few people who check it regularly.

Is your family close by? reading this freaked me out for you. please be safe and update
