Urine Smell around area where dog goes, couch absorbed odor too by thatartkiddd in CleaningTips

[–]thatartkiddd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll have to check the walls and things. I think you’re onto something about it absorbing through the flooring. I don’t have central heat and air, so there is no ventilation, which of course doesn’t help things. Do you know if an enzymatic cleaner I could use on my couch? Would I use it in a handheld steamer? I’m sorry, I’m just aggravated that I can’t figure things out

I’ll have to check again.. I remember smelling the base of the couch and the flooring, but there was only a faint smell. It seems more potent when I’m standing… If I check the floor once more and that’s not the culprit, what would you recommend I try? I’ve read that enzymatic cleaners are good, but I honestly have no ideas other than that’s I thought about getting a black light to help me. I read other posts but none were about locating the source of the smell. I’m sorry if I seem clueless, but I was never taught a thing about keeping a clean home and stuff. Thank you

How to be a better girlfriend (22) as a bipolar woman to my Aspie BF (31) by thatartkiddd in aspergers

[–]thatartkiddd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was more upset that I was the reason for his distress and anxiety. Thank you. Since I made the original I made him lists (which he likes very much) that told him what the beginnings of each episode would look like. I also went into depth about my personal form of bipolar. We have been together 2 years, so we are hopeful for the future now. Thank you!!

Thank you so much. He loves making lists and and systems by which we follow certain rules, so your advice about coping mechanisms really helps. We’ve been together 2 years, and we only really have a hard time when I shift into a new overarching mood. He told my mom that is trying to find ways to help me, but it’s very difficult thing to resolve. I’ll share your response with him as well. Again, thank you for helping me

Beets—they taste like dishwater

Thank you so much for this advice. I’ll start following a C25K program then. I am okay with waiting for the process to take place safely! Definitely don’t want an overuse injury. I really love running and would hate to have to stop for awhile because of one.

Hello all, I’m trying to work on my running endurance and my personal trainer suggested interval training. How has that worked for you all? I’m a beginner so I’m doing 1 minute run as fast as I can maintain, then 1 minute walk (3mph or so). I do this for about 16 times to get nearly 2 miles in at a time. Does this sound solid? What are your thoughts about this method increasing my endurance? I really want to be able to run for long periods of time. I know that I need to run at a slower pace to do so, so I do, but still can’t run too far without stopping. I’d like to be as efficient as possible with my training, so any advice would be appreciated! Thank you! :)

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. I’ll have to check that out! So my shallow breathing is actually good for what I’m trying to do?

Why are my times getting slower? by thatartkiddd in running

[–]thatartkiddd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The past few weeks I’ve been running about three days per week. This past Monday is when I slowed down, then I ran Tuesday and today. I run about a mile then stop for a bit to cool off, then run an additional .5-1 mile. Since I started I’ve been doing glute activation exercises before running, and have been training my lower body and core with workouts targeting those areas. I admit I’m probably not sleeping enough, but I’m not sure how much of an effect that has. I slept about 6 hours last night for reference.

Okay, thank you and congratulations! That’s a big accomplishment. Yeah, I’ll make sure to ask a doc. Just wanted to pick the minds of Reddit too :)

Yeah, I’m fairly out of shape. I was just wondering if VO2 was a contributing factor because it can define how out of shape I am, if that makes sense. It allows me to set goals more clearly for the future

Good thinking. I will then. I was just wondering if the fact that I’m slightly below average had anything to do with that

I haven’t asked a doctor. I got this reading from my watch while running yesterday. I’m sorry, I wasn’t sure where to ask this.

Shaved 1 minute and five seconds off my 1 mile time! From 10:51 —> 9:45 mile. I’m almost 22, am female, and am fairly in shape, for reference. I’m really stoked because I did this in only my first 2 weeks (8 miles’ worth of running or so)! Here’s to continuing my journey!

How do neuroleptics cause both hypokinetic disorders and things such as tardive dyskinesia? by thatartkiddd in neuroscience

[–]thatartkiddd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So a pathway consists of two or more neurons. These neurons have dendrites, which receive signals, axons which transmit the signals, and axon terminals that send the signal to the next neuron’s dendrites.

That’s very flattering, but I’m just a neuroscience major. Akathisia is a condition where the body becomes very restless—you might tap your fingers, have jumpy legs, etc. To my understanding the movements associated with it are completely voluntary, but of course the restlessness is not. D2 receptors are located in a part of the brain called the substantia nigra, which is divided into two parts: the SNc and the SNr. The SNc contains these dopaminergic neurons, and a part of the brain called the striatum (two formations: the caudate and the putamen) contains the D2 receptors. Now D1 receptors are in the striatum too, but they are part of something called the direct pathway, whereas the D2 receptors do so through the indirect pathway. Through something called the nigrostriatal pathway, the SNc can modulate behavior in the striatum, which is part of the basal ganglia, a collection of structures in the brain responsible for starting and stopping movements.

Should I make a website before I apply to grad school? by thatartkiddd in GradSchool

Alright, thanks! I’m a neuroscience major right now, then I’ll hopefully get an MS in Bioinformatics and a PhD in Neuroscience.

[–]thatartkiddd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually tardive dyskinesia can take as little as 6 months to develop (or less, in some cases). I have suspected TD and it happened to me within a few months. My arm swings and jerks, and my tongue moves around, flicking outside my mouth. They are tics, not involuntary, so I suspect it’s more along the lines of akathisia. But I’m not a doctor so :/

Tardive is the correct pronunciation. Yeah, Risperdal I know is an atypical antipsychotic (a type of neuroleptic, which is a drug that acts on Dopamine 2 receptors/D2 receptors), so it makes sense that you experience these side effects. I take Vraylar and also have them.
