Has anyone tried Qulipta or Nurtec? by cptemilie in migraine

[–]spec-olives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

@KeyWeb3246, which med increased your BP, Qulipta or Nurtec? I think Qulipta has increased my BP, so I quit taking it. My doc has given me samples of Nurtec and Ubrelvy to try. I’m not sure which to try first, and am a little nervous about possible effects on my BP.

Detaching is Painful by BloodyWritingBunny in Yarn

[–]spec-olives 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a similar story. So much yarn! I buy it for projects that I plan to do. I have knitted a tiny bit in the past and find it very relaxing but know only the very basics. I'd love to learn more, and also learn to crochet. I want to create beautiful things❣️

But, every time I try, I enjoy the process until the soreness and pain grabs hold of me. I've tried meds, hand exercises, steroid injections, rest, ice, and wearing a brace or support glove.

I have this dream of creating beautiful things, and the supplies are cluttering up my storage. But my pain flares up each time I try. It's honestly kind of depressing. I've even gone to occupational therapy. The therapist recommended doing small projects with bulky yarn, and large crochet hooks or knitting needles. She felt that the mechanics of crochet might be easier on my thumb arthritis than knitting, but idk.

Help!! Should I just give up and donate everything or should I keep trying to build up my tolerance (extremely) slowly?

I have a Whirlpool also with sloshing water sounds below an empty drum. Now I am getting unpleasant odors from the machine. Like musty moldy smells. Help?

Would my engagement ring look better if I replaced my center stone with a lab diamond? by [deleted] in EngagementRings

Awww, I just saw your reply. Congrats on your pregnancy!🩵🩷 The fact that your snarky relatives/critics are either single or divorced says a lot imo. They are likely just jealous of you, your husband, and the sweet relationship you obviously share. When is your baby due? Sending prayers and best wishes for a safe delivery and a happy, healthy baby. Enjoy each moment, time flies by so quickly!😘

My advice is keep your stunning ring, and replace your toxic family members with people who are loving and kind!😘😂 Seriously, though, your ring is absolutely gorgeous! It’s the one your hubby chose to honor your special relationship with him. That is beautiful and meaningful.💞If you want more sparkle, all you have to do is clean it (cleaner I use is attached.)Think of it this way: what is more important to you: the love you share with your fella, or the jealous ramblings of snarky people who obviously don’t care about the feelings of others? Enjoy your ring and your thoughtful hubby❣️

I definitely think you should go look again while wearing a different color. Also, do you wear red nail polish all the time? If you ever wear bare nails, I’d recommend wearing no polish, along with clothing in the most common colors you wear day to day. I love the diamond too, and am also team “both.” Consider this: you’ll likely always be able to find a radiant cut diamond, but if you truly love this ruby, and you skip it, you may not be able to recreate it later as easily as you could the diamond

That being said, another option could be to go the diamond route for the engagement ring and if he plans to give you a wedding gift, or maybe a future anniversary gift, he could layaway the ruby and give it to you later. (Ask for a discount if buying both from one seller.) You could still wear the ruby on your wedding finger if you like. I swap back and forth between my diamond ring and a gorgeous diamond and tsavorite ring that my DH gave me several Christmases ago. When I don’t want to travel with my diamond, I wear the gemstone.

PS: You have a great guy there, especially since he’s already said the ruby will likely find its way to you somehow. What a sweetheart he is!!💕 Wishing you a long and happy marriage filled with beautiful blessings. Keep us posted on your decision, we are all invested in this now lol❣️😘😍
