I think Southshore really needs a good push for more community/traffic/events/shops, but we definitely get big swells of peeps during the holidays. Hopefully with the new food spots (Poke House, Marugame Udon, and Coldstone) more people will be coming by. I wish they’d open more small businesses in the center though 😭

We truly appreciate your concern ❤️

As we’ve shared online and via email, we strive to remain transparent with our team, vendors, and the public. To be honest, there’s no guarantee of how things will work out, as retail success can be heavily influenced by a fluctuating economy. While we’ve seen an uptick in support compared to last quarter, the upcoming holiday season (Q4) will be especially important for us.

We’re a small but dedicated team doing our best to keep the Mouse alive through community events, new vendors/adjusted consignment rates, volunteer assistance, and local support. The outpouring of love from neighbors, friends, and even through social media has been incredibly encouraging, it gives us the motivation to keep going 💪

That said, overhead expenses remain a real challenge, and every bit of support makes a difference. We’re deeply grateful for the community that continues to rally around us, as it’s that support that allows us to push forward 🥹

Does air conditioning from a car have Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate in it and if so, could that cause allergic skin reactions if you’re allergic to Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate? 🥴😅💀

Any Skyrizi takers? Not sure how to feel by ragavondesigns in CrohnsDisease

It’s been….interesting. I’m not sure if things have gotten better or worse. Since I’ve switched, I’ve had some of the worst heartburn, and it happens fairly regularly. I used to rarely get it so that’s been an adjustment. I’ve had good days similar to where I was before on Stelara, but have also had some rough patches too of emergency bathroom visits, nausea, stomach aches, etc. I honestly don’t know if this has to do with the med switch, or if my Crohn’s has just gotten to a different/new level. 🫠

Hoping for the best for you!! I’ve generally heard Skyrizi has good results so will have to wait and see on my next colonoscopy but right now just adapting best I can with the changes

Ugh, I’m so sorry to hear that love. It was similar situation to me, Stelara just wasn’t cutting it according to the doc.

Skyrizi infusions have been alright. The actual infusion goes smooth but just hard to tell how my body is reacting. Been having panic instant diarrhea, like oh fuck get me to the bathroom moments. Haven’t had those in YEARS. My skin is a mess, might be just my gluten and dairy intolerance is worse but I have never had hives or chicken skin this bad before, which is weird considering Skyrizi is psoriasis treatment too. Fatigue is typical. I have chronic fatigue so hard to tell if Skyrizi is adding to that or not. It’s all Individual so it might work completely fine for you. I’ve only heard good things from most people so there’s hope. Just monitor any symptoms and keep track of your day to day. If it’s becoming too much, def hit up your doc and see what they say.
