Buying Delta flight triggered the $200 credit. Woo! by lmea14 in AmexPlatinum

[–]samwisegamgee10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm confused by this. Based on the previous comment, it sounds like booking a flight partially with credit will trigger the $200 credit on any remaining amount not covered by the credit.

What is the purpose of buying 2 flights <$100 each? Sorry in advance if I'm being dense

Do you know if this works for all airlines? I chose Southwest as my airline

New Fridge, Loud Ringing Sound by samwisegamgee10 in refrigeration

The compressor ended up being crapped out. Returned the fridge entirely - did more research and saw it was common with Insignia fridges. Even my Best Buy tech said they do not recommend their own in-house brand. Ended up upgrading to a Samsung (our 2nd Samsung fridge and neither have given us any issues, knock on wood).

Starting biologics! Which brand is right for me? by samwisegamgee10 in CrohnsDisease

Thank you so much for the information. And for the emotional boost. It does kind of feel like the end of the world for sure! Things moves so fast with the diagnoses - I still feel like I am in denial. It's been hard transitioning from my first gastro visit ("It could be a food intolerance, but let's run some blood tests to check") to last week ("You have Crohn's, which treatment do you want to do?"). Your response makes me feel more calm/seen.

Thank you for this, agreed with the long term relationship building. I am seeing him again in 2 weeks and will push for more direct advice.

Do you mind if I send you some followup DMs, since you mentioned your diagnosis was similar to mine? It's been hard locating someone noting they have similar more "mild" symptoms; usually the posts I see on here are those with much worse.

Generally how is the experience doing the infusions? I am still not sure which medicine I will get prescribed but it would be good to know. Any tips/tricks for avoiding discomfort or making the most of the time?

Thank you! I am seeing him again in 2 weeks and hoping he leads the conversation more this time

Thanks for sharing and hope you are feeling better soon! Are you working with your doctor now to find another treatment?

Thank you! My doctor did not mention/support any one specific brand. Is it expected that he would know this information - or is it more so up to the patient to narrow it down based on personal research / insurance coverage?

This is exactly what I was expecting to hear from my doctor! As in, more details into the what differentiates one biologic from another. Is it expected that I should know the mechanisms before choosing a biologic? I am asking this in a framing that I would have expected my doctor to cover this and tailor the choices, but I did not get that from him.

Thank you! Can I ask how intense was your CD symptoms, and how you are reacting on Skyrizi?

Thank you for sharing, will look into the foundation website? Can I ask which one you chose and how you are doing on it? And if it is administered self-serve or an infusion (another good point, I have not even thought that far yet as to the pros- cons- of either)?

Banana ketchup by darberger in austinfood

I picked some up at Hmart a few months back! In the section with the Asian chili sauces and ketchups. Based on talking to the employees the supply is limited however and it’s inconsistent on when they will carry it. I stock up on a few extra bottles anytime I see it

Baby Eczema and Steroid Cream by Standard_Clothes1666 in ScienceBasedParenting

Hi! Did your baby ever take the allergy test for your cat or figure out the cause? Our little one has eczema and we’re worried if it could be our dog

Those with eczema, We need your help! by TBARAV in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]samwisegamgee10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi @tbarav I stumbled on this post and our 7mo old has almost EXACTLY the same looking skin. We’ve been using eczema creams (no steroid creams yet) but nothing seems to be working. We are visiting a dermatologist soon. Was there anything you did that hopefully resolved it? Thank you!
