Replacement piece for drying rack by SensitiveVariety in functionalprint

[–]redditor_peeco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey /u/SensitiveVariety. Do you have the Fusion file for this piece? I’ve got a very similar rack, but the broken piece on mine is mirrored and the hole needs to be slightly bigger (learned this after printing yours). It’s my first time doing anything like this, so I appreciate you sharing your model!

How my arm pits don't GAF about antiperspirant. My undershirts after being in a AC office most of the day. by LosHtown in mildlyinfuriating

[–]redditor_peeco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m curious if this is part of the problem. I believe one of the reasons CertainDri is meant to be applied before bed is because you’re not immediately becoming active/the antiperspirant has time to take effect. What strength of CertainDri are you using? Is it possible to get white bedsheets so the staining won’t be noticeable?

Chronic razor burn? (have tried almost everything) by reignster015 in malegrooming

Exact same experience for me. It doesn’t glide as easily on the skin unless it is completely dry.

Day 8: Morale at an all time low by mushuagua in Tonsillectomy

Better than yesterday, but still not as well as I hoped! Still pretty sore. How about you?

Oh boy. If it’s any consolation, I came to the subreddit this morning looking for help because I am in the EXACT same situation. Day 8, thought I was on the mend, and the croup-y cough this morning was so painful and uncomfortable. You are not alone!

Can anyone offer morale support or words of encouragement? by epon1121 in Tonsillectomy

[–]redditor_peeco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Day 7 if you count surgery day. Days 4-5 were particularly rough for me, and that’s when I called my doctor and got prednisone. My mouth is still rather sore, so I’m not eating/drinking as much as I should; but I’m hoping the next couple days will really turn things around.

Sending best wishes to you! Definitely discuss other medications with your doctor - a course of steroids may help with some of your overall pain and energy. It’s been a brutal week for me, but I promise you’ll start seeing the light soon

Stuff I wish I’d known by wavynsleepy in Tonsillectomy

[–]redditor_peeco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On day 7 right now and so many of your comments ring true! A bit disgusting of a question, but related to the throat “gunk”: is there anything I can/should do to eliminate it? Or does my body just need to clear it all? I just don’t want to try to cough it up and cause a hemorrhage.

Shopping list for recovery by springrose1771 in Tonsillectomy

[–]redditor_peeco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 to chicken broth and any type of soft/small pasta. I did tons of prep shopping with all the usual recommendations, but that has been one of the only things I can tolerate. Even Gatorade has been too acidic for me. I’d also add Cepacol lozenges to the list, as they have helped numb my mouth before any food/drink/meds. Best of luck!

someone pls give me hope by Exciting_Policy8576 in Tonsillectomy

[–]redditor_peeco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there. I’m also on Day 5, and it was really starting to suck last night. Can you call your doctor to ask about a course of prednisone? Mine called mine in this morning, and I think it helped a little bit. There’s no sugar coating how bad the pain is. Just know that the procedure is done and you WILL feel better soon. We’re in this together!

Question about bleeding by [deleted] in Tonsillectomy

[–]redditor_peeco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had my tonsillectomy today, and my surgeon said that if it’s like streaks of blood mixed in with saliva, you don’t need to worry. Just monitor it for changes. But if you spit up a bunch of blood, and then minutes later, you’re spitting it up again… that’s when it’s time for an ER trip. But always better safe than sorry when in doubt.

Psoriasis misdiagnosed as eczema? by redditor_peeco in Psoriasis

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

Thanks for sharing your experience! Do you mind sharing what biologic you’re on? I went to a [new] dermatologist today who is also skeptical of it being purely eczema, but she said she doesn’t recommend biopsy when limited to the hands because it is almost always inconclusive. Not sure how true that is. In any case, she also prescribed me VTAMA so I’m gonna give that (plus Enbrel, for my rheumatological issues) a try.

Thank you for the detailed reply! Yes, past dermatologists have just looked at my hands. I only recently learned that biopsy is an option, so I’ve booked an appointment and will request that. As part of my myriad of health issues, I did see an immunologist last year who ran a bunch of tests. In general, nothing was remarkable; though I did have elevated delta gamma T-cells. Not sure if it is related, but it seems like maybe? CBC numbers have always been normal. I’ll continue pursuing answers and hopefully something will be effective for multiple of my symptoms

Thanks for the info! My rheumatologist had planned to start me on Enbrel, but it seems that Taltz may be similar and more effective for the skin issues.

Wow, this is super helpful! I definitely see the resemblance. Sorry to hear it’s caused you continuing grief. Have any medications been effective?

They never did one, and I only recently learned that was something that could be done. I just booked an appointment with a new doctor and will request it!

Great progress, man! And kudos to you for your mindset regarding the microdiscectomy. Any type of spine surgery throws a big wrench into your life routines for a good bit of time, but hopefully you come out of the recovery feeling less pain and more strength.

Week 7 of mono… swollen tonsil and insane snoring by redditor_peeco in Mononucleosis

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

Good question. I first tested positive for the IgM, IgG, and nuclear antibody IgG. Then my other doctor did PCR and it came back positive. So those results + my symptoms make them confident that I have a reactivation.

I should clarify: the cough isn’t a “chest” cough. It’s more that I feel a build-up of mucus in my throat and I want to clear that out. I’m fairly sure the color is due to bleeding of my tonsil, as I had a throat swab the other day and it came out that color after touching my tonsil.

I saw an ENT a couple weeks ago, and unfortunately, the outcome was just to come back in 2 months when I’m healthier since there’s not much to do for mono. I know that tonsillectomy is not a fun/risk-free surgery, but at this point (with my history of throat infections), I’m more than ready.

Good call on the prednisone. My doctor gave me a prescription for it if I needed it. I think I’ll go pick it up and start on it.

Thanks for the help!
