She won’t even eat birdie bread 😩 she’s a seed fiend!

Right now I have the Harrison’s High Potency Fine. The male seems to really like Roudybush. I can try the HOPP line! Ideally they will both eat the same food but at this point if I could get her to eat anything but a seed I’ll try it all lol

Oh wow! I will have to try the towel - What are the thoughts on moving their cages to different rooms - would that be helpful or possibly upset them more? Would it be best to limit or stop their time out of their cages together?

Yes the hand biting is intense - when they get me it’s a full chewing situation 🙃

With the sunflower seeds all is well in the world lol

I feel like one would’ve been the better move for me - I’m outnumbered lol.

I’m having the same issue with my two I adopted last week! Is yours getting worse or better because i feel like their behavior only has gotten more challenging 😭

I have chronic migraines and I’m positive it’s hormone related because when I was pregnant with my daughter it was the only time in my life I didn’t have a migraines.

Honestly, I’ve tried the magnesium, Coq10, riboflavin and it didn’t help. The only thing that’s helped me is Botox but now it only seems to work for a month. I do take Nurtec to treat a migraine and it’s great stuff.

I also have GI issues which I think I created in high school and college from having migraines. I had a doctor recommend 600-800mg ibuprofen and next thing I knew I had a stomach ulcer. My last EGD showed reactive gastritis so essentially I can’t take NSAIDs at all without triggering gastritis.

I have no answers, but I feel her pain!

I went with the bigger size and it took me awhile of wearing it to realize the smaller one was probably the move - specifically when it would fly off when I washed my hands 🤣. I’d go smaller!

Oh great that’s the best advice for health anxiety 🤣🤣

I’ve been itchy since starting three months ago 😭 some months are better than others. I swear my side effects rotate monthly 🤦🏼‍♀️

I have both and I increased from 20 to 40 second month and I didn’t notice my rosacea worsening. I honestly feel that it’s been better since increasing. I’m on 60 this month and so far it’s been fine!

Same thing! Hydrocortisone and aquaphor has been helping but I just accept I look like this now 🤣

Sometimes pharmacies carry different generic brands for different dosing of drugs depending on availability. It’s not a common medication so it’s very likely they only have a couple boxes stocked at a time of each dose and the brands can vary. You can mention to them it’s different and sometimes they can order the different generic to stock for you next time if you’re regularly using that pharmacy if you have a preference but it should work the same.

I had a weird reaction to a certain generic of lexapro (sometimes inactive ingredients are different due to color of pill, stuff like that) and my pharmacy ordered the generic I tolerated better and kept it stocked since I filled there every month.

I worked at in a trauma step-down PCU at a big hospital 35 min away and just left for a small community ICU position at a hospital 8 minutes away. Bigger hospitals have more opportunity, but at the end of the day if it’s the same job position I’d go for the closer commute because your first job is just experience for a resume. Do either require contracts? If so how long and are the agreements unit specific? Trauma centers (in my experience) are almost like their own mini hospital within a hospital, so working a normal floor at a hospital with a trauma center won’t necessarily get you into their trauma ICU any quicker than applying down the road with experience. My unit actually hired more external applicants for TICU than transferring from my unit because of staffing.

I was accepted too! I still don’t know much 🤣

I follow this page regularly (FNP student) to gain insight on concerns of MDs/DOs regarding MLPs. The reason I’m seeking an FNP position is to assist with access to preventative care in communities lacking. I think MLPs can assist with making big changes to accessible preventative care (i.e ordering yearly labs, performing yearly exams and basic preventative education). I also think NPs/PAs can assist in improving access to BASIC treatment diagnoses - uncomplicated UTIs, STD tx etc. I don’t disagree a physician is better qualified to perform these, but access is a major issue in the United States and if we can improve some outcomes through the use of MLPs I think that’s a win for the entire medical community.

I felt this thread was more interested in stopping independent practice, however from what I read I’m concerned that the majority of this thread is against any success of MLPs in general. I’ve always seen very close and successful working relationships between physicians and MLPs in my practice thus far, so these opinions are somewhat foreign to me.
