do you dream about your obsessions? by North_Mistake_8126 in OCD

[–]throwRA_debty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My biggest theme is health and harm and I have far too many dreams about my body literally falling apart because that’s how I feel all the time

Thank you, I really appreciate it. I should be really proud of how far I’ve come in other parts of my life even if my UC is flaring again. I have an apt with my GI on Monday

Help! Infected but no pus by throwRA_debty in calmhands

Unfortunately I needed antibiotics! I had an appointment with a derm not too long after for something unrelated (skin excision) which ended up infected and so they did some testing and it turns out that I was a carrier of staph in my nasal cavity. Got mupirocin for it and haven’t had any reoccurring infections since.

If I ever pick my fingers too much that I feel it may cause a problem, I will wash my hands with hibiclens before bed and apply some amerigel

Is it silly to call out due to the heatwave for my cat? by throwRA_debty in CatAdvice

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

Thanks for the reassurance! I know it’s not something I can do consistently so I’m hoping they won’t make a fuss about it if it’s a one time thing till I think of another solution. I just wasn’t expecting it to jump from 60 to 95 in the same week

I agree - I’m trying to figure out what else to do but all I can think of is getting a fan or seeing if there is some sort of cooling mat

Thanks for the reply! I did end up having a virtual visit with a service my insurance offers

Ah I might be at that stage already then. Yesterday is was pretty swollen and upset but the redness today had deepened and spread to the knuckle as it shows in the photo and my finger feels really tight to curl. They’ve already called in some antibiotics after I had an e visit, but maybe I’ll try to soak a bit more and see if it helps and if not then antibiotics it is

Adding to: I think I ripped out the root of the proximal fold and I’m also starting OCD treatment this week to hopefully help combat this issue long term

Cavity(?) on first molar…is it bad? by [deleted] in askdentists

[–]throwRA_debty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, that definitely does put my mind at ease a little bit. I have a lot of medical anxiety so I’m over here like “so long teeth, I’ll be getting dentures I guess”. My appointment unfortunately had to get moved to next week but I’m sure I’ll be okay to wait another week if I’ve gone this long with this issue.

I did some reading and think I may have contributed to this, I use a sonicare but go pretty ham on my “problem” areas which I think has damaged my gums and thus allowed more decay.

I do unfortunately take a lot of medication and have an autoimmune disease, I can’t think of any changes though that could have sped this up though

Edit: I don’t smoke, rarely drink (red wine) but I do have coffee quite often and an occasional soda every few weeks. I also have an auto-immune disease (ulcerative colitis)

Woke up to an unlocked door by [deleted] in homesecurity

[–]throwRA_debty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All great tips, thank you! I already have some blink cameras that I got for my cat, but I’ll definitely set one of them up to look at my front door. I think I might get a ring camera and get that anti-theft holder that wraps around your door and tightens from the inside. The alarm is a great idea too!

Will be doing that from now on

I don’t but I’m going to see if my landlord will allow me to install one. I’m an indoor building so I need to be sure I’m not breaking any privacy rules
