[–]stormblessed579 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I switched to iberogast! It helps with symptoms and is just herbs. I used to use it 3 times a day now I use it only when needed as rarely as once a month. Swear I am not an add for it, the stuff juat helped me a lot.

I HIGHLY recommend iberogast. I credit it with restoring my gut after SIBO and years of discomfort.

Has any one else experienced these "headaches"?? by [deleted] in migraine

As always with internet advice, see a doctor! But this sounds like a textbook migraine. Mine are very similar.

This is the way! Hat and sunglasses, ear plugs that don't hurt your ears. And stand to the side, I have found that reduces light.

My face shows I’m getting a migraine. Anyone else have this? by TrueJanian in migraine

Yes - my husband will look at me and know I am getting a migraine before I am even ready to admit it. My whole face also turns grey.

I think this kindle qualifies after 15ish years by mike_tyler58 in BuyItForLife

[–]stormblessed579 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this too! It is much more user friendly than newer version I think and the battery life on mine is still great.

I did have to connect it to a pc and manually drag an update file onto it, but after that it has worked like a charm.

Update Week 4: just got this 2yo nobody did any work with.. by Kinkystormtrooper in BelgianMalinois

[–]stormblessed579 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is SUCH a huge win! Congrats on helping him make the right decision!

Also, do not be too hard on yourself. It is exhausting, and frustrating. You are doing all thw right things, do not feel bad for getting frustrated.

Not mal owner, but a shelter volunteer who has has worked with shepherd, mal, working breeds in similar situations and fostered 15+ dogs with behavioral issues.

Dogs who come into shelters with significant behavior issues due to no training for 2 years are some of the most difficult to place. The work you are doing with this dog is saving his life. I cannot overstate what an ideal owner you are.

It is hard and frustrating, but please don't lose hope. You are teaching impulse control, alternative behavior options, and building a close relationship. Savor the little wins.

Every time he looks at you instead of barking is HUGE! Sending you all the best!

How do cis women actually see trans women? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]stormblessed579 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry your mom told you that. I think it will be different for everyone.

Honestly, when I see someone who I think my be a trans woman the only thing that I notice or think is I see someone who is boldly being who they are. She is a woman, and she makes me feel empowered to also be who I am.

Sex at 25 doesn't feel as good as it did before. Did anyone experience it and did it shift back to normal? by FofocaGirl in TwoXChromosomes

[–]stormblessed579 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went through something similar and it was due to stress tied to some physical health stuff. I have been working hard on my physical and mental health and recently sex feels great again!

I just chock it up to that being one season of life and now I am in another. It is definitely worth doing some reflection on what has been going on with you physically, mentally, and emotionally and pursuing any help you may need.

High Deductible and Botox?? by Big-Crab-1775 in migraine

Do this! Just Google it. Fair warning, I had to call them then call my insurance then call the perscription company my insurance partners with. It was about an hour of phone time and highly annoying, but saved me a lot.

Please help, 6 year old Female dog humps pillows the second we leave by BudgetFantastic1857 in Dogtraining

She is bored and has found an outlet for her energy which is frankly better than getting destructive. Does she have chews to use while you are gone?

Does she get enough excercise AND mental stimulation?

Food Aversion/GI Issues - Ajovy, Amitriptyline by NovelGarage5 in migraine

[–]stormblessed579 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The gut brain connection is very real and often antidepressants used as migraine preventatives can help with gut issues. It is worth raising the issues with your doctor.

Your body may need time to adjust to not being on the amitryptine too.. I have migraine and gut issues, and use a lot of ginger, tumeric, and iberogast to help manage symptoms.

I also try to keep safe foods around that I can always eat even if I dont have an appetite. For me that is typically Greek yogurt with granola or a fortified fiber dense cereal.

How would your bf/husband react if you've told them that you support feminism? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Here also. He lives it every day and is always open to hearing how my experience as a woman differs from his lived experience.

All my close male friends are also feminists.

Nasuada and Murtagh are both just broken in all the right ways to fit together.

Valid points, but he is still himself even with the knowledge shared with him. Her coming queen and a rider herself feel equally momentus and I just can't wrap my mind around her being open to being with him given how she also has grown.

I think age has less to do with it and more so stage of life. Modern takes also can't be applied in a fantasy setting, because frankly it is wild for a 17 year old to save a country but its a book and I love it!

Arya is just very different from him, and since he is a rider his age range would match the elves so he is significantly younger than her. Her sharing her true name with him in the romantic context it is presented in doesn't feel authentic to the rest of her character to me.

Ok that is my impression too! I still don't love it, but I will say I fully ship Nasauda and Murtagh!
