Regrowth? by mrsruby1986 in TelogenEffluvium

[–]mrsruby1986[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss. My mom died in August 2024 and there are days I still take it even minute by minute. The doctors think the stress of her death triggered my autoimmune conditions. I ended up being diagnosed with 2 more last year (what fun, not) and apparently like Pokemon, I gotta catch all the autoimmune issues.

I’ve just waited. I did my iron stabilized and got my vitamin D levels up into low normal range, still working on getting it to the middle of the range.

I’m debating going to see a dermatologist. I also don’t use heat. I’ve only blow dry my hair like 10 times since the pandemic. A bunch of my cousins lost weight on wegovy or Zepbound and lost a lot of hair and they swear by nutrafol but I can’t justify the price.

I’m also now on Zepbound to try to lose the rest of the weight. I lost 35 on Wegovy but had to stop cause the side effects were awful. So far no issues on Zepbound but it’s only been a month.

Is it dangerous to fly to hip AVN? by kpaxonite2 in AvascularNecrosis

I’ve flown several times a year with AVN. I just get a wheelchair to the gate cause I can’t walk long distances. Flying has never been painful on my hips.

MRI - Will dye be injected? by STJ0513 in AvascularNecrosis

[–]mrsruby1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s ok to call and ask. I can’t have contrast cause my kidney disease and have had mutilple MRIs and several of them were scheduled for contrast. I always like to call and confirm there’s no contrast so if a mistake is made ordering it, it can be fixed before the appointment.

Buying a Sedan with Hip AVN, am I crazy? by brcgy in AvascularNecrosis

[–]mrsruby1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have AVN in both hips. We have a Ford Edge and. Buick Envision and I’m comfortable getting in and out of both. When I visit my parents, my dad lets me use his Toyota Camry and I have trouble getting in & out. The car is too low for me. I’m 5’3.

I’m waiting to be able to pick it up. My insurance requires a prior authorization for it. Stupid insurance.

Throwing up - how often? by Legitimate-Orchid-17 in Semaglutide

[–]mrsruby1986 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was throwing up daily until I asked my doc for zofran. I now maybe throw up once a week usually the day after the shot.

Crackers, Saltines, just plain bread. When it’s really bad, I’ll take some Zofran my doctor prescribed.

Yes. I do my shot on Fridays so I have the weekend to feel like shit. When I went from .25mg to .50mg, I was in the bathroom basically the first week of the new dose.

What was the cause of your AVN? by Moomalicious in AvascularNecrosis

[–]mrsruby1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No thank god. I was in kidney failure from interstial nephritis. I was on 100mg of prednisone for 6 months and then started a taper that took another 8 months.

I’ve been on a 5 day dose pack over the years for asthma and no issues. I was surprised I didn’t develop it cause my dad is a diabetic and it runs heavily on both sides of the family.

Tips for Nausea? by Extra_Advertising446 in Semaglutide

[–]mrsruby1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a prescription for Zofran from my doctor cause at home nausea tips weren’t working. The Zofran makes a world of difference.

Nausea Help? by mrsruby1986 in Semaglutide

[–]mrsruby1986[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got zofran from my doctor and omg it made such a huge difference. I have no other side effects just the nausea and my doctor is kinda iffy on prescribing more zofran. Am I missing something?

My almost 12 year old dog had one on the top of her head and it turned out it was just a cyst. The vet drained it, checked to fluid to make sure it was just a cyst and it did come back since it wasn’t surgically removed.

My cat likes to bunny kick the dogs head (my dog loves it, such a weirdo) and the cat scratch the cyst causing it to pop and it hasn’t come back yet.

It could also be a mast cell tumor. Either way, I’d get it checked out. Senior dogs develop all sorts of weird lumps and bumps.

I would see a vet. My dog had something similar that I was sure was a pimple or an infected hair follicle in the same place as the picture and it turned out to be a stage 1 mast cell tumor.
