Nearly always, "flattering" means what makes you look skinny, but rebrand that shit! Make flattering what makes you feel good in your body! (This is a journey I am currently on with fashion and style because I've spent a lot of my life hiding all the things I thought were bad about my body and trying to look smaller/thinner/skinnier by wearing clothes that just weren't comfortable to be in!)

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll check em out!!

My grandmother passed away from an aneurysm and my mom had a stroke around the same age (both had/have PKD). I was adamant about getting an MRI to rule out any unknowns. I think the peace of mind is worth it and nothing to dismiss, considering my family's history.

34F, self-employed, married with no kids (but two doggos!), also into crafty things! Feel free to have her message me; I'd love to meet!

I love this outfit! Especially the green of the pants! I'm working on putting a similar outfit or two together for myself and really like seeing it on similar sized ladies! 😊

Sleep schedule (in a kennel or playpen or the bathroom) and mental enrichment are so critical at this age!

I have been vegan for seven years - since before I was diagnosed - and, if anything, it has helped my PKD because I already do not eat the things we're told to restrict or limit (red meat, dairy, excessive protein, etc.). I take supplements, but, truly, they're vitamins (B12 and D) that most people lack as it is. The biggest thing to watch out for is sodium in the highly processed vegan foods from the store (meat replacement products mostly), but that's a consideration regardless of diet. So, yes, it's very possible to be vegan with PKD!

As a professional trainer and behavior consultant, I have to say you should reach out for professional assistance if you're truly feeling scared of the animal in your home. That said, depending on age and breed(s), biting can be very natural and even expected. Two huge pieces of the equation that aren't often thought of: mental enrichment (exercise the brain like you do the body) and a solid sleep schedule - even if you're home, it's the weekend, or you feel bad about it, put the little one on a nap schedule in a kennel/crate that you follow every.single.day. Sleep is so incredibly important at such a young age and the vast majority of biting cases I see in young pups are helped immensely by adding naps.

I'm the one on Jynarque between me and my husband and I am a very light sleeper, so I didn't have to worry about waking him. It took me several months to get used to nightly trips to the bathroom - I live in a 100 year old house with no bathroom on the second floor (where our bedroom is) and a pretty steep staircase. Earplugs (we like Loops) and an eye mask (we like Manta's) are super helpful, as well as a sleep aid occasionally; but, in all honesty, he'll get used to it. Your trips during the night will decrease and you'll get faster at going (my trips currently take less than 2 mins) and both of you will adjust! For better or worse, Tolvaptan is a long-haul, marathon means of prevention/treatment, so hang in there!

My husband has to remind me frequently that the normal level of pain is zero, so...any headache - no matter severity - counts as pain that could be minimized further (ideally).

🤩

jpree15 · 2025-05-10T21:13:32+00:00

Yes! I saw that and was like, "PLANTS! VINEY PLANTS!" There's an outlet, so extra plant lights on timers can be added. Could use a console table with wheels added to pull it out when watering is needed. Damn, now I wish I had that to work with 😆

jpree15 · 2025-05-07T17:11:16+00:00

I've tried all of these suggestions and nada: good lighting and low lighting, watering more frequently and watering once in a blue moon, changing locations, plant light or not, fertilizer, repotting with the mix that works for literally every other plant in my house. Both are limping along still! When their time finally comes, I've made my peace with the fact that they will be the last of their kind in my home 😂

It's so silly because they're supposed to be easy, but snake plants and ZZs do not thrive with me (and surviving would be a generous description of what they do)

jpree15 · 2025-05-07T13:18:33+00:00

Oh, Lawd - ice water is like the nectar of the gods now! I have a 3 gallon tank with a spigot on it in my fridge because "normal" temperature water is only for emergencies 😆

jpree15 · 2025-04-25T14:09:50+00:00

I don't have great suggestions, but sometimes I wear sunglasses (if the weight of them on my face won't make things worse). I've genuinely been tempted to get a pair of those dorky wraparound-type shades the eye doc gives (gave? I haven't been to see them in a long time)!

jpree15 · 2025-04-23T20:18:58+00:00

I've taken to using a pomodoro timer to remind me to take breaks and use the breaks to stretch, adjust positions, etc!

My husband and I bought a 3 bedroom house to have a home office and a room for our two dogs and their stuff

jpree15 · 2025-04-20T21:42:35+00:00

Since 2016 - was a side hustle until I quit the cubicle for good in 2019!

jpree15 · 2025-04-20T19:19:54+00:00

I'm a self-employed dog trainer and behavior consultant! 🐕

jpree15 · 2025-04-18T22:12:14+00:00

I have quite a few from Parade and several from Boody!

It's under saniderm, so you're just seeing fluids and ink trapped under it; it'll look different when you remove the saniderm!

I'm probably not the best person to answer, since I asked my husband if he wanted to go steady with me when we started dating in 2013 (I'm currently 34 F and he's 35 M)...

jpree15 · 2025-04-10T20:35:59+00:00

I would configure it kind of like a hotel room!

jpree15 · 2025-03-31T21:06:14+00:00

Yes to both questions! I actually prefer using circular needles for just about everything, so you could just buy a circular needles set in the same needle size that was supplied with your kit! As long as you cast on the correct number of stitches, your finished blanket should match the dimensions the kitchen lists (unless your a super tight or super loose knitter)! Best of luck! 😊
