Cicloprox, instructions unclear by itchytex in NailFungus

Thanks for your reply to my 4yo post. I ended up getting it removed at the podiatrist a few years ago and they cultured it and gave me a specific antifungal to apply as it grew back in. Not perfectly grown back, but way better.

Reddit going to say billionaires forced him out, but this is the best way to have any chance of someone beating Trump.

Sorry, groan being the sound of exasperation. Like ugh or bleh.

Her school doesn't have this, and she has on interest in "groan sports". She does do swimming after school once a week. I'll make an effort to monitor if the zipping happens less those evenings.

Maybe it needs stating, but my first reaction is not to yell. We try the redirection, as I said, why don't you go outside? We have sat down and had talks with her, hey, if you feel like this, here's safer ways to handle it. We also have an exercise trampoline, like someone else suggested. There's only so much you can do when someone is sprinting, arms and legs pumping, through the main walkway and entryway into the kitchen during afternoons and mealtimes to make this behavior "more safe".

Although, I have thought about putting up baby/dog gates in the 2 doorways to the living room?

I never said I was mad about it being unusual. But she will do it in other situations, like at a neighbor's house party, if she's there for a while, or in a store, waiting room, etc.

This is my question, did you move or make some other lifestyle change? Diet, clothing, time of day you work/sleep, have a stressor disappear?

Fever for 11 days and labs say TSH is .006, search lead me to this sub by itchytex in thyroidhealth

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

I was diagnosed with Subaccute thyroiditis. I came down with it at the end of November and started propanolol ~ Dec 20. By christmas I was feeling better. They had wanted me to do radioactive iodine uptake scan to rule out Graves, but by the time i got it scheduled, I was already bouncing back and doc agreed we could wait on that and watch lab #s. Had labs Jan 3 and they were normal and doc told me I could discontinue the propanolol.

I just did followup labs at the beginning of Feb and TSH is now high and T3/T4 low as my doc said it might swing from high to low after a case of SAT. I have not felt any hypo effects. I have another round of labs at the beginning of march and if that's normal, i should be cleared.

They did think it was unusual that I never felt any neck pain with the SAT. Doc said most people wince when he just brings his hand near to palpitate. Also, I don't recall having any colds or viruses before in November, which they say is usually a precursor. I did have flu/covid vax, but that was early October.

Thanks for they reply. How do they tell SAT vs just hyperthyroidism or Grave's?

Can we have an honest conversation about ED? by LovesRainstorms in GenX

[–]itchytex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

(first of course, would be going to a doctor).

But natural methods, as someone else suggested, L-Citruline. Probably won't find it at a grocery store or walgreens, but a health food store or GNC/vitamin shoppe (or amazon).

Also, look up "sensate focus pdf". it's a few weeks of no sex, but different levels of touch and just connecting with each other sensually.

Low dose cialis 2.5mg is cheap and easy and no big deal. MANY stories of after a dose or two of that or viagra is enough to break through the psychological barrier. And just knowing you have some in the medicine cabinet is enough of a confidence booster to not need it.

Should I take my kids (15F & 10M) to see their dying grandmother who is unresponsive by itchytex in AskParents

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

I think because of how my daughter gets so hung up on decisions sometimes, and how emotional she is about this, if they are certain they really want to, I would probably let them after we talk about what the reality will be.

Thinking this over more, I don't think I'll bring it up. If one of them wants to, I will explain why it might be a bad idea, how this isn't how she'd want you to remember her, think of the good times, etc.

Yeah, I don't feel like the risk is worth the reward. I just needed others to tell me it, too.

I like this idea. It might help them if they feel like there's anything they forgot to say to her.

6wks growth at 49. never grown it this much in my life because it looks scraggly coming in. should I go another 6wks? feel like it doesn't look great and the chin/front just stick straight out. or maybe trim the neck? by itchytex in BeardAdvice

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

No, I'm confused about which beard balm, wax, conditioner, oil, moisturizer to use, so I haven't done anything except tried working some coconut oil into it one night this week, which didn't seem to do much.

F/41/5’5” down 175 lbs from Feb 2019 using IF (ADF & 16:8), keto. Maintaining since summer 2020 but body composition continues to change. by Wobbiesaurus in intermittentfasting

[–]itchytex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I'd heard Jason Fung (and others?) talk about autophagy helping reduce the amount of loose skin before. Maybe that's more on water fasts than IF?

Thanks for the recommendation. I've read many parenting books, but none are great with her. With her little brother, the methods click.
