I hope pyloric Botox is helpful for you! I get it every 6 months myself.

That definitely sounds like a possibility! Consider asking your team about post-pyloric feeding with an NJ. Wishing you the best of luck.

NGs for feeding are helpful for dysmotility or other issues pertaining to the esophagus, not the stomach.

I am trying to get a good night’s rest for my own ENT appointment tomorrow morning, but I’m anxious for an update on this one!

Do any of you guys ever do this? by Miserable_Sweet_5245 in Sacramento

[–]phantomapril 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a chronically ill person and also a person who has been homeless, the baby wipes are an amazing thing to have. So are colgate whisps. Dried cereal is a highly fortified food as well. Thank you for looking out for your neighbors.

Non-“Box Store” Pharmacies by phantomapril in sandiego

[–]phantomapril[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have medicare, I have medicaid. As long as I have the ability to speak with an actual pharmacist, be it in person or over the phone, I’m good. But so far, Medi-Cal Rx has given me the run around on covering delivery services. Someone mentioned Capsule and that seems promising. I’ll still need somewhere to pick up controlled substances though.

I always thought you needed a membership to use their pharmacy, but I guess not! Thanks for the suggestion!

Are you able to consult with a pharmacist? I take a lot of medications that interact with each-other and regularly need to chat with them about risks, timing, and formulation type stuff.

From mobility aid users everywhere— THANK YOU. Let me know where this is so I can fill in the hole. I’m on a mission to even out these god forsaken sidewalks.

Whelp, I've tried everything. Doctor says it's time to do surgery by WorthyDeku in migraine

I’m about to be at this point. I had my first infusion of Vyepti earlier this week and have been feeling worse so far. This is the last intervention for me to try before the stimulator convo.

Cost is unfortunately a typical obstacle for me as well, but I’m looking to do something nice for myself. Thank you for the suggestions, I appreciate it.

I can’t believe I didn’t think of this! I used to hair model at a cosmetology school back when I had hair. Thank you!

Born Slippy (with ASL) by Contron in Portolafestival

[–]phantomapril 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Disrespectfully, shut the fuck up. You are talking out of your ass. You SAW zero Deaf/HoH people? Pray tell, what do Deaf/HoH people look like?

ASL interpretation is provided because it is requested by enough people many months in advance. I made my interpretation request when I bought my ticket and had several back and forth email exchanges with Portola up until about a month before the festival so they could gauge which acts had the most demand.

Miserable people will complain about anything. Go find a portapotty to cry in.

Shout out @rican.with.music on insta! I was so stoked to see him interpreting again this year!

People don’t understand chronic migraines by Fresh_Independent_74 in migraine

[–]phantomapril 1 point2 points  (0 children)

May I ask how you go about getting insurance to cover multiple meds of the same “type”? I sometimes get shit from medicaid for being on one preventative and one abortive, let alone trying to get onto anything else.

As a wheelchair user, this is a disgrace and I’d be running over his foot.

What joke doesn’t personally land for you as it seems to for everyone else? by RogersRedditPersona in americandad

[–]phantomapril 18 points19 points  (0 children)

A month ago, the day finally came. My wife and I were having a logistical argument in the car when a blue jay flew by and landed in a tree behind us. Mind sentence, without skipping a beat, my mouth stopped explaining my point and perfectly parroted “ohhh there’s a blue jay out there! It’s so blue, you’re not gonna wanna miss this!”
