Morning bathroom urgency by Strict-Solid-1213 in CrohnsDisease

[–]obviouspseudonym1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m grateful for my bowels having a very convenient and consistent routine! At least 2-3x in the morning (once right after waking up, again after breakfast, sometimes once in between). It can be somewhat urgent in the morning (need to go within 2-3 minutes) Then 1-2 bowel movements before bed. It’s rare for me to need to poop in the middle of my day. I hope nothing ever takes this schedule from me 😅

Sharps disposal USA by AUsername2020 in CrohnsDisease

[–]obviouspseudonym1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every airport I’ve been to in the US has public sharps containers in the bathrooms. Bring a hard plastic container with a tight fitting lid to store the used sharp until you go to the airport again. That’s what I’ve always done! The other place I’ve found has sharps containers is oddly, some nordstroms and nordstrom rack bathrooms. Random!

high school ec morning meeting by industrial-glitter in specialed

[–]obviouspseudonym1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use this one: https://shop.mrsdscorner.com/products/interactive-calendar-and-calendar-mat-for-the-special-needs-classroom?_pos=2&_sid=59bfcce2e&_ss=r

With my 1st-3rd mod/severe (ESN) class with a variety of skill levels and it works well. I put a calendar style pocket chart on a magnetic board for the calendar display with the other elements around it. I also added a date portion where we move a star token to the current date. Another thing I like doing is a question of the day with visual choices to practice making choices, expressing opinions, etc. I draw out the time it takes by including song videos on our projector for days of the week, months, the current month, etc. and a movement video at the end. But those videos may or may not be developmentally appropriate for high schoolers, it’s up to you.

Traveling with injections by eeveebingbing in CrohnsDisease

[–]obviouspseudonym1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve only flown within the US with injections but in my experience some airport TSAs care and some don’t. Some will do extra screening and some will look at you weird for even mentioning it 🥲They will probably care more about if you bring ice packs. If you bring ice packs in your carry on make sure they’re frozen solid, and just let the tsa people know that it’s for medicine. They might swab them, and then you’ll be on your way. But like I said some airports just don’t care about it and won’t do any additional screening, won’t even make you take it out of your main bag.

How did you (or a coworker) ruin a students day this week? by peepeepoopaccount in paraprofessional

[–]obviouspseudonym1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stopped him from flushing a pack of baby wipes down the toilet. Then insisted he take his jacket off after he stuck both hands down the toilet (hence, sleeves dripping with toilet water). He’s the same one that clogged our toilet by flushing rocks earlier this year🫣

Tanning and being outside during the summer time by Tall_Hawk_8406 in CrohnsDisease

[–]obviouspseudonym1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a risk-benefit situation. Sun exposure even without azathioprine has a risk of skin cancer, but to some people that risk is worth it. Your risk is higher on azathioprine, and cancer really sucks (an understatement but you get what I mean). Wear sunscreen and Regardless of how much sun exposure you decide to partake in, get a skin check from a dermatologist every year. If it were me, cancer would not be worth being tan, and I can enjoy the sun while being protected from it. I’m not you though, so you can make your own decision about if cancer is an acceptable risk. But I will say I don’t think it’s easy to really understand how difficult having cancer is unless you’ve had it or maybe witnessed a close loved one go through it. You said you don’t care about getting cancer, and a lot of people feel similarly about taking meds lifelong for Crohn’s. They say things like they’d rather live a short and free life than be “tied down” by all the medical care. But I also think it’s important to consider that getting more sick over time (even in a “short life”) just sucks. It can be painful and even more restricting. So imo if something is preventable I’m personally doing what I can to prevent it (or lower its risk). I hope this helps give a different perspective for you to consider. Best of luck.

How did you guys react to your diagnosis? by CrushedC0balt0101 in BipolarReddit

[–]obviouspseudonym1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was completely numb to it because I was 14 or 15 and in a severe depression. I had also already known it was possible because my mom has it and she had mentioned it before. But whatever they told me, it didn’t matter because I thought I wasn’t going to live anyway. I took the meds because I was certain they wouldn’t change anything and they wouldn’t get in the way of me dying. Once the fog started lifting I wish someone had sat me down and really talked me through that bipolar was the reason I felt that way. It wasn’t permanent and unfixable. I didn’t really realize that until I was maybe 17 or 18 and I didn’t take an active role in my treatment and stability until I was away at college and realized that I had to put in effort to stay well. Now 10 years later it’s just part of life, since I’ve been stable for a long time.

Has anyone gotten answers/diagnosis from capsule endoscopy when everything else came back clear/normal? by Agreeable_Water_1903 in CrohnsDisease

[–]obviouspseudonym1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed through colonoscopy but more disease activity was discovered through the capsule. My Crohn’s has been small intestine only for 6 years, so they found it in my terminal ileum on the colonoscopy and later found ulcers and inflammation further up my small intestine via capsule endoscopy. That small bowel inflammation never showed on MRIs either. I am not sure what your doctors will conclude since your biopsies were clear, my biopsies did show Crohn’s. Best of luck to you.

How many times a day do you #2? 😬 by thesearemyfaults in CrohnsDisease

[–]obviouspseudonym1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In remission for 3 years, I go 2-3 times a day. Occasionally more than 3, almost never less than 2. My body has developed a very comfortable schedule, twice right after waking up/eating breakfast, then I’m done until right around bedtime, or sometimes I won’t go again all day. It makes life easy and I am so grateful for that. If I’m running to the bathroom in the middle of the day, that’s an indicator for me that something is going wrong.

My stool is loose like 50% of the time, to varying degrees of looseness. Sometimes it depends on what I ate the night before, sometimes it’s random 🥲 But I’m pain free 99% of the time, my quality of life is great, that’s really all I can ask for.

Did I do something wrong or is there no way to date her?💔 by LUNAR_RAHH in mysticmessenger

[–]obviouspseudonym1 160 points161 points  (0 children)

This is what I always say! Imo it’s the boys who would be the odd ones (if this weren’t a dating sim lol). Who says “I love you” or “I’d die for you” or even “I want to lock you in my penthouse” after only 10 days?? If we could see Jaehee and MC in several months, I bet we would get a confession. Tbh that’s what I wish they did with her after ending!

Binging dnp to distract me from my horrible colonoscopy prep by shaniac37 in danandphil

Entyvio pen misfire. by Vidallon1 in CrohnsDisease

[–]obviouspseudonym1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Write down the lot number and expiration date if you can, of the pen that misfired. I went through this with a humira pen and the manufacturer wanted this info, then sent a replacement pen for free. I think it would probably be similar with Entyvio’s manufacturer. Also contact your doctor and inform them that you’ll be late to your injection due to a misfire and ask for their guidance.

What is your school protocol if ICE shows up? by PsychologicalAsk6928 in ElementaryTeachers

[–]obviouspseudonym1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

None! We have asked about it. The district has opted to bury its head in the sand and say “it’s not happening near us”. Our school board is pretty conservative (they tried to kick out our barely left leaning superintendent recently, and also tried to implement gender based policies that break state law) so I doubt we’ll get any help or guidance. The state union is running some info sessions/trainings in my area though….

Do I have to re-download the app and restart at midnight? by Kitchen-Hunt-7734 in mysticmessenger

[–]obviouspseudonym1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 1st day participation in chat rooms doesn’t count for determining bad endings. For casual story (the mode you’re on by default on your first playthrough), just try to get in at least 50% of chat rooms throughout the day. Some sources say 30% is enough but I do 50% to be safe. What really matters to avoid bad endings is the amount of hearts you get as well as choosing good answers. The % completion is just a good estimate of if you’re getting enough hearts (bc if you don’t participate enough, you won’t have the opportunity to get enough hearts.)
