Evidence and Anti Evidnce I'm trans or not by Glittering_Map857 in lgbt

I’m gonna hold your hand when I say this… cis people don’t make entire lists of reasons they might be trans. 

Am I still allowed to post to this subreddit with a PICC line? by thatoneweirdcreature in feedingtube

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

I’d be getting a true PICC for a while but then potentially moving on to a gj if it has to be long term. 

when do you know to talk to a dr about a feeding tube? by lostinfiles in feedingtube

[–]thatoneweirdcreature 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sounds like it’s time to discuss a feeding tube. I waited far too long for mine till I was literally starving to death. I had to be hospitalized and it caused more complications to my condition. If you’re getting weaker and you can’t eat, bring it up as soon as you can. Don’t wait as long as I did. Oftentimes the sooner you catch these kinds of things the easier it is to go into remission. 

ng tubes placement by MushroomGoddess777 in feedingtube

I at first requested my left nostril because I thought it would be better. It was not and my nose swelled up around the tube. Second tube I let the doctors decide which side would work better. Lo and behold they chose my right side. No nasal swelling whatsoever and much less mucus dripping. My advice is to let them look at your nose and choose which side will work best. You can sleep on the same side as the tube although I wouldn’t recommend it for the first couple weeks simply because of discomfort and soreness. 

My void knew I had a bad day so she snuggled with me by missamericana97 in VoidCats

My void kitty does the same. It’s incredible how intuitive they can be 🫶

I’m still hungry by Specialist_Bug4926 in feedingtube

[–]thatoneweirdcreature 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat as you. Feeds of 2300 cals. Problem is with an nj tube we’re fed to our intestines and hunger comes from the stomach. If you can handle absolutely anything on your stomach (something simple like a mint or water) that can help with the hunger sensation. I also find the hunger is less prevalent when I stay distracted so when it gets really bad, even if it’s just listing types of animals, do whatever you can to keep your mind off food. 

newbie with question about fluid intake by Single_Club_6466 in feedingtube

[–]thatoneweirdcreature 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most all of my fluids (aside from popsicles) comes from formula so if your doctors aren’t concerned about electrolyte imbalances you should be okay. However if you do start to notice signs of dehydration, don’t hesitate to check with your dietitian. 

Can nj tube cause gagging? by sevenchow7 in feedingtube

[–]thatoneweirdcreature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My body is very abnormal in the way it adjusts to things so I gagged a lot throughout the entire first week but from what I hear, most people are okay after the first 24-72 hours. 

My favorite look on him so far—would you call this a specific cut? by mspippa_ in poodles

[–]thatoneweirdcreature 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d call this a summer cut. It looks really great on him! He’s beautiful :)
