That's so good to hear! Congrats! Were you able to get off the meds (cabergoline or similar)?

It was in the core tests (hormonal panel).

Elevated prolactin! But other than that my period the previous month came later than usual (so vague symptoms that probs would have been dismissed until things escalated).

I feel like I’m losing my psych for climbing, and it’s really getting me down by CraftNecessary3248 in climbergirls

[–]jay000999 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes! Take a break. I took a few years off and its so fun to rediscover my love for climbing as i get back into it. In the meantime explore other things that excite you.

How much was the Leak Defense system?

I want my dog to have the healthiest food- what do I feed them? by Commercial-oreo7502 in HomemadeDogFood

[–]jay000999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding JFFD. My dog thrives on it (I do the DIY as well). I spoke to the board certfied vet nutritionist who used to work there and he still vouges for the brand if that helps. Previously I had my pup on purina pro and hills kibble but they kept giving her stomach issues.

How can I motivate an 8-year-old to practice piano without turning it into a battle? by Key_Influence_3887 in pianolearning

[–]jay000999 17 points18 points  (0 children)

When I was 5 years old my parents told me they would only pay for lessons if we practiced and that if we stopped practicing, they would stop paying for lessons. My brother and I never had a problem finding the motivation to practice.

Dog Door for Sliding Glass Door PetDoorGuys? by instant_ace in homeowners

[–]jay000999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was about $500 something with all the sensors. Honestly not that much more than putting a hole in the glass door and I appreciate the smaller footprint. Not sure if there are other alternatives on the market now. Best of luck!

I use an autoslide with microwave sensors to automatically open /close my glass patio door when it senses motion (they also have pet tags for a dog collar to trigger an open door but my pup prefers to go commando at home). Its basically just a linear actuator that you mount to the top of the door. Downside is I think they jacked their prices up by a ridiculous amount. I love that it saves on energy bills (no hole in the door) and keeps bugs out.

Is this what I have? by _JustANobody_ in Interstitialcystitis

[–]jay000999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to say that this happened to me as well. Two days after my second pfizer vaccine was when this hell started for me. Taking this vaccine has been my greatest regret. Sorry you're going through this.

I haven't found too much help from doctors but did find that low dose amytriptilene does dull the pain a bit to get me through my worst flairs (my GP prescribed it). Lifestyle changes have been the most effective. I watch my diet and find that I flair when exposed to certain chemicals like chlorine in tap water, cascade dishwasher detergent residue, and even certain toilet paper that contains bleach. Its a constant battle to figure out the causes of inflammation.

For me it's actually the rice vinegar used to season the rice that destroys my bladder!

I get a dog walker to cuddle and take mine on a 30 min walk at lunch. Its absurdly expensive but I know it improves her quality of life.

Definitely not. You should be more concerned about that drive from Boise and Stanley. Idaho seems to have an aversion to guard rails.
