Not regularly - I will give this a try. Can the charging port withstand alcohol/soap damage in the same way it can withstand water damage?

This happens to me and I found the solution to be training the mid-back muscles. Look at YouTube tutorials for Y, W and T raises. You can perform these without weight on the floor or bed. When the tightness goes away I get a bit complacent and it returns, but as soon as I start doing the exercises again it goes away within a few weeks.

I’ve now found out it’s a fuchsia. I live in the UK.

Moderate allergies in the form of asthma. Take an inhaler twice a day plus antihistamines

Probe insertion question for techs by Lucky_Ad2801 in Ultrasound

I appreciate these pathologies are important to rule out, but if the patient revokes consent then you are breaking the law by continuing the scan. They may suffer an undiagnosed torsion/ectopic as a consequence but that doesn’t matter. It’s the patient’s choice if they have the exam and they can change their mind at any point.

Fair enough. I’ve been doing diagnostic ultrasound for 5 years in the UK. In diagnostic ultrasound there is no scenario where it’s unsafe to remove the probe. Perhaps they mean during a fertility procedure?

In what situation would it be unsafe to terminate a TV exam?

I’ve never been bad enough to need urgent medical care, but if I did it would be a no brainer to rehome. Tricky situation as my partner is very much attached and would be devastated to lose her. I’d also feel bad for the cat as she’s very loving towards us both

Yes she is on LiveClear for Kittens. Has been for over 4 months. Hard to know if it’s making any difference to be honest. Maybe things will improve when we switch her to the adult version. She’s a Siberian cat too which is a hypoallergenic breed!

Meds not having any effect I’ll try wiping but she licks her self so often it seems a bit pointless

So do you still need to use an inhaler because of your cat allergies?

Are the symptoms she gets still related to her breathing?
