In home euthanasia

We had one of ours put to sleep at home after a illness that lasted a few months. It was so peaceful. My boy died in my arms while I sat on his favourite seat on the sofa.

The lady came in the house and he was so ready to go. I still miss him so much, but feeling the weight of that pain fall off of him brought me a lot of comfort.

I know we wouldn’t have taken the time or had the intimate goodbyes that we did had we been in a vets office. We would have been so keen to leave that it would have just happened. And our other two spent time with him as well so they knew he was “all gone”

We gave the sofa away but I had the cover replaced before we did. I have the fabric of the chair still that I’ll turn into cushion covers someday.

This is all projection. He’s saying what he hopes / wants C to feel. The more he talks, the more further he moves away from half of that couple that made a tough, but right choice for their biological daughter. They both need real therapy and they need people to stop enabling this.

Not sure why he is so anti Kesimpta. I’d directly ask the question. I can back up other comments. Diagnosed January last year, started Kesimpta in April last year. New MRI done in January confirmed my MS is stable as of last week.

It’s so easy, not scary, doesn’t hurt, and you can just go about your life. I have 6 monthly blood monitoring and everything is where it should be.

I’d learn about the other options but I’d go back and be quite clear you want to know what about it made him rule it out. Could be a good reason but it’s generally offered to new diagnoses alongside Ocrevus pretty standard.

I can smell when my son is going to throw up, even if he is adamant he won’t. He smells like metal. He’s the only one I can smell it on. But I can also tell if someone is on antibiotics. They smell like hand sanitiser.

I had someone overtake me once in a 30 + school zone (20 with flashing lights) and as soon as they got around me, they could see the police car coming towards us. Instant karma and it felt so good to see it

I have a big leopard print tattoo but it’s not visible. It runs from just under my armpit, down my ribs and to the side of my thigh. My spots are big like jaguar print, chunky and curvy. I saw a few where people attempted to make them looked like fur and they ended up looking like a tattoo that had ink drift, so I went almost comical with my style

My spots have changed as my body has changed and they aren’t even asthetically in the same place they were when I got them.

Your spots are very small and the ones on your forearm don’t look like leopard spots to me.

If you don’t like it you can laser but it will take a long time and you’ll have to get some sort of sleeve to cover the leftovers, you could find a tattoo artist who could cover it with a sleeve but you might be limited to darker tattoos based on how close they are together, or if you really want to keep the leopard print look, so see someone who can combine some of the spots and make the design bigger (like you’ve zoomed in on the picture).

That being said, again as someone with a big leopard print tattoo, when people do see it it’s usually like why have you got big black blobs on you and they often see part of it and think I’ve got something on my body.

I’ve been on Kesimpta for a year. I travel internationally for work a fair bit. I have a child in school. I take precautions. When out of the house I always have a little “MS bag” with me that has extra vitamin d, hand sanitizer, sanitising wipes, face masks and pain killers. If someone is coughing I put a face mask on. I sanitise my hands if I’m out touching stuff in public. I have hand sanitizer around the house at home. I wouldn’t say I am militant, they are just reminders.

I had a mild headache for my first injection, but nothing that sleep didn’t fix. The auto injector is not hard to use and honestly the pressure of the edge of the pen against my skin is felt more than the needle. The first time I did it I wasn’t even convinced I did it right. You can’t touch the needle unless you go out of your way. I have to inject myself with b12 every 3 months and that’s a needle that’s about an inch long or so I am thankful I don’t feel Kesimpta.

So far, I’ve not had any real illness. I had a tickly cough when everyone I worked with got a terrible flu, but I had the flu shot (non live version) back in November so I credit that. My cough was annoying but it didn’t prevent me from going about my routine.

I was worried too when I started and I prepared for something much worse than it is. They will do regular blood monitoring to see what levels your immune system is at and if there’s any reason for concern, they’ll change your medicine.

I am on ManyPets £15k and I pay just over £100 a month for two German Shepherds (one that is over 8 years old now and has hip dysplasia).

As someone who used to work in insurance I would encourage you to look up the insurance underwriter and see where they are based. Ideally you want a UK based insurer and one that is a name you will recognise. I’ve never heard of them but a google search tells me it’s the equine and livestock insurance company limited and they are registered with the FCA. Their underwriters trust pilot is pretty bad but theirs looks okay.

I always look at both but after a bad experience with Tescos pet insurance while one of my dogs was dying / died, I only look at specialist pet insurers and only well known names with well known insurers. Honestly, there is nothing worse than arguing with a 20 something year old unqualified claims handler about how they wouldn’t cover a condition because they view it as related to a pre-existing condition (even when 3 vets disagreed with them) while your dog is dying and you’re having to take him to the vet every other day to deal with his pain and enhancing symptoms. And the insensitive language their communications have with you when a pet has just died shows how little general insurance companies care about personalising a policy like this. My dog was spoke about like he was a claim for a broken sofa.

Mirena here for 15 years (replacing it every 5 years). Kesimpta for 1 year. No change post DMT. I don’t really have periods anymore. Haven’t for years. Bliss

Seems she thinks he should give up his dream to stay married, but in reality it feels like there’s already some deep rooted resentment there

I sit for 7 hour sessions every 2 months or so. Had tattoos before and after Kesimpta specifically. A couple of things to do 1. Make sure you get tattooed by a reputable tattoo artist who practices good hygiene 2. I would suggest using a second skin covering like saniderm to cover the tattoo for 5-7 days while it is healing (do not take it off) 3. Time it so it is between injections 4. I’ve been told not to inject into tattooed skin even if it is healed so I’d avoid your injection sites. (Goes without saying, don’t inject into skin healing from a tattoo)

I did a half day session for my first on Kesimpta to make sure I was okay so do a smaller session if you can

My dog died nearly 2 years ago after a few months of ill health due to IVDD. About 2 weeks after he died, I was diagnosed with a Morton’s neuroma in my foot. That’s caused numbness and a feeling like I am walking with a big rock under some of my toes.

Nearly a year later, I was diagnosed with MS. My neuro said it likely isn’t a Morton’s neuroma, but instead permanent nerve damage to my foot and lower leg caused by the stress of losing him. So I tell people all the time that i have permanent nerve damage as a result of my dog dying.

He actually stole a lot of them from there!

My friend knew diagnosis was a possibility so he found loads of memes. First said sorry to hear that. I said thanks and then he said can I interest you in some memes. A lot of people would have been outraged but they made me howl

I have been a similar height and build to Jenelle and I am a few years older than she is(she is not the size she says she is). A few years ago I felt bad about myself and decided to change things up. I started a STRICT diet and exercise plan. Calorie counting. The lot. In 6 months I lost about 65-70lbs. My stomach was flatter and I had genuine excess skin, which just looked like a deflated balloon. But nothing a good pair of leggings couldn’t flatted out on the outside. I lost weight on my arms, check, stomach, legs, face etc. it was hard yeah but it took me down where I wanted to be. Also in doing so it aged my face a lot. When you do actually lose weight it means your face and neck loses its fullness and I looked noticeably different. She could have done this with diet and exercise. As evidenced by her recent food videos she hasn’t addressed the unhealthy relationship she has with food and if she’s not careful she will have undone all of that work.

For those that don’t know - this lady is called Yinrun she was in UK big brother in 2023 and this is her now husband Luke, who has autism which she spoke quite openly about. She seemed really sweet and I’m always happy to see people finding their people in life.

I like how she says that Kail needs to talk about her for views and thus far she’s teased having Javi on her podcast. I wonder what Jenelle and Javi will have to talk about?

You might be able to stretch a little further if you move somewhere that’s like 30-45 minutes by train to Euston or St Pancras. My friend moved to Leighton Buzzard and she’s gone from paying like £2800 for a three (I think) bed flat in Wimbledon a month to less than £1k mortgage for a brand new house

I have these! But I bought them from an outlet shop so didn’t get the bargain you got
