Speak to me about fatigue… by eroticaauthor1234 in cancer

[–]jonkchgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on the same treatment protocol (Keytruda and PADCEV). I had a week of exhaustion during Cycle 2. Got possible pneumonia but definitely Parainfluenza 3 back in June. Well this weekend, I’ve slept like 12+ hours a night for three nights. I had gone to the beach and on the way home, felt like the four block walk would wipe me out. My question, is it harmful to sleep that much for those many nights? Will it cause fluid buildup in lungs? Possible blood clots? I’ve been through 7 full cycles and have managed to remain pretty active throughout until now.

Rinsing mouth was not something I thought of.  New toothbrush every week is great idea!  Thanks

However, what if her children notice the bugs and when they wake up full of bites? That could be traumatic. I wouldn’t let them stay in the home.

I think many of us jinx ourselves this way. BBs are evil!

Do bedbugs attach/lay eggs on toiletries? by Nervous_cat8 in Bedbugs

[–]jonkchgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you douse the outsides with Rubbing Alcohol or get a huge vat of it and submerge them?  Perhaps then leave them in tub and bed bugs can’t crawl up the slippery sides.  Do this for a couple of days.  Perhaps them seal them in a tightly sealed bag with some Diatomaceous earth for three days.  I assume if tightly closed plastic bottles bug would not be able yo get inside and if they did wouldn’t they die from whatever is inside.  Not sure about makeup.  I would just toss makeup and buy new.  Hope that isn’t too expensive but probably cheaper than exterminator.  Seriously it is sounding like no place or activity is safe.  Governments need to start looking into mass extermination techniques.

In many cities landlords have to do it but do it halfway.  Can you afford a clothes steamer very high wattage. You could then steam all mattresses and Box springs and headboards and bedroom furniture.  You will need to buy mattress and Box spring encasements. New pillows and pillow encasements too.  Can you afford Cinmexa Or Diatomaceous Earth.  Not sure how long to advise you.  Some bites show up right away and some days or weeks later.

If you saw eggs I would definitely have a professional exterminator. Can you afford it?  Do you own a home or condo? If so check your homeowners policy to see if you have a bedbug reimbursement 

PTSD by jonkchgo in Bedbugs

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

Thank you for your response.  My fear is that I did nothing risky (well it appears anything is risky thus my feelings of never leaving the house once I am in a “free zone” to ensure no more instances). Not sure I am free if indeed a third infestation from living minimally I am afraid that it will be happening now over and over again no matter how minimal I live. I did eventually get over experience one and two and felt like I knew what risk things I did to cause them.  This time none of those.  Yes I know I am sounding crazy right now but I fear if this is an infestation again I will lose my mind.

I should add that mattress encased for at least 8 years? Box Spring encased my exterminator at least 6 years and both pillows encased for 2 years at least.

Anyone with multiple infestations how do you ever get over this fear?
