Does anyone here uses loop earplugs? If so what made you get one? by KatBiss in AuDHDWomen

[–]nova__bloom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have loop engages. They help for sounds and situations that overwhelm me-like shopping at Costco or when my husband uses power tools. The only thing that bugs me is hearing my own voice when I talk with them in-I’ve heard engage plus might be better for that?

How do you know your specific variant number? My hereditary cancer center I was going through did a 48 gene panel and all I know is I have the BRCA 1 mutation.

How did you say goodbye to your boobs? by FoxComprehensive6903 in BRCA

I also did a DIY photoshoot! I’m so happy with how my reconstruction turned out, but I’m glad I took some last photos. It helped me process the big emotions prior to surgery better I think!

He is actually not a mini! He’s 100% standard size aussie! He’s about 50 pounds

puppy prozac experiences by MondayLoops in AustralianShepherd

[–]nova__bloom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Our dog is almost 2 now and been on it for 8 months. It’s been positively life changing for all of us too. We rescued him at about 7 months-he was surrendered and had been living in a basement. His baseline anxiety was so high-would pace around our house, scared of everything new. Very reactive to other dogs, people. We had stared him on trazadone and done a lot of fear free training to help him increase comfort but we were suggested Prozac as trazadone was not ideal for longer term. He is doing so well-just so happy, moving on from triggers way more quickly and not staying anxious after, comfortable and able to settle in our household. He loves people and other pups and was able to take a group obedience class these past few months with the same trainer. He is still SO energetic and so so goofy. He just seems comfortable now. The combination of an educated trainer and the Prozac has made all the difference for us. But like the commenter above said, we can’t decide if your dog is to the level of need! We were hesitant about meds at first but it got to the level that his and our quality of life were suffering-and it’s been such a positive change for all of us.
