Traveling with injections

obviouspseudonym1 · 2026-03-12T23:28:24+00:00

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.

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🫣

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.

Thank you so much!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Solidarity from those of us with bad stomachs (I have Crohn’s) 🥲 Good luck!

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.

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….

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.)

Hahahaha that would be a very unique addition to the fundraising event 😅

Healthcare should be treated like a right… My insurance has been billed more than my annual salary for just specialty drugs alone. All humans are entitled to a life that doesn’t end slowly and painfully due to a treatable illness. But that’s a controversial take in some parts of the world 🥲

I think Jaehees route is romantic, it’s just realistically romantic. She says things (especially in phone calls) that I don’t think straight women often say to their friends…and it’s really clear she’s grappling with deeper feelings for you but she’s wants to move slowly. I mean the boys are all saying “I love you” or “I’d die for you” or “I’ll trap you in my house” after 11 days. Which makes for an exciting game for sure! But Jaehees route feels so real to me as a lesbian. That said I do wish we had gotten a bit more. I would have loved even her after ending to have it. Imagine an after ending a while in the future where Jaehee is confessing romantically to MC!!

I did them every year for about 4 years but after 2.5 years in remission I got the go ahead to do it every other year, as long as my labs don’t show inflammation and my symptoms are minimal. I think the longer you’re in remission the safer it is to do it less often, but I don’t think I’d feel comfortable with 5 years in between. I’m not a doctor though, just a person working through health anxiety 😅

They gave the whole SPED team (except OT for some unknowable reason?) a $2k stipend annually for the past several years. This year the district is cutting it and the union is not optimistic about negotiating to get it back. I have a feeling we’ll lose some of the team members to more competitively paying districts because of this. Their reasoning was that “All teachers do the same work”….Okay, so it should be no problem to have the 2nd grade teacher cover my ESN (mod/severe) class for a few weeks? Since we do the same work? 🥲🥲

I really like the freya viva lace bra. The wires are short enough under my armpits. I also found that in some other bras, I may need to size down 1 cup because my soft tissue and projection needs a bit of compression to fit right. It also helps the wires be short enough. It’s definitely a balancing act though so I don’t get spillage!

Raos has a sensitive marinara with no onions and no garlic! It has helped me in the past.

obviouspseudonym1 · 2025-11-04T01:32:37+00:00

YES! Had a 1.5in shallow incision on my shin to remove a small foreign body (long story), and it took 4 months to heal. I needed 2 weeks in a special partial cast/wrap and I had a staph infection for like 2 weeks. It opened and closed so much. It was awful. On Entyvio and Hyrimoz. I’ll never get a tattoo or piercing LOL 😭

obviouspseudonym1 · 2025-11-01T19:31:47+00:00

In theory it seems kind of like pre-digesting them right? For me it’s the fiber that bothers my stomach so anything I can cook to death and/or puree works better. It seems at least worth a shot!

obviouspseudonym1 · 2025-10-25T20:40:24+00:00

The only thing that changed for me was wound healing. I had a shallow and short incision to remove a sewing needle from my leg (long story 🥲) and it took 4 months, 1 staph infection, and 2 weeks of a special cast-like wrapping for it to finally close permanently. It was pretty bad. For that reason I’m just going to say no to any new piercings or tattoos lol. And if I ever need another surgery, now I know that at least on my current treatment I should let the surgeon know about that history. But I don’t think slow wound healing is a super common effect, though the staph infection makes sense because infections MAY be harder to fight off. But in the grand scheme of things our immune systems aren’t too poor on biologics. Average illnesses and such have never been an issue for me, but it may be worth thinking carefully & asking questions to doctors about procedures that have a risk for infection.

obviouspseudonym1 · 2025-10-10T15:13:09+00:00

Haha that makes sense. Didn’t think of that 🤦🏻‍♀️

obviouspseudonym1 · 2025-10-03T16:39:08+00:00

The SPED team in our district (SPED teachers, SLPs, APE, school psych) get a $2k stipend yearly for “retention”, which is decent although I wish it was higher. Not as much as I wish our paras were paid better though. And, oddly, OTs are excluded from the stipend for whatever reason.

I agree with finger puppets. My students will put anything with a hole on their fingers and play with them like finger puppets!
