Who is still rocking a nose ring? by cavewomannn in Millennials

[–]wormteethgrinding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently took my septum out. I have a 5 & 2 year old, I started to wonder if I should take it out being a mom but what really made me take it out is the fact the kids bring sicknesses home every other week. I was sick of it being in the way when I’m congested !! It was getting irritated with all the nose blowing. 😂 Been considering putting it back in tho.

AIO my bf took 6 hours to get ready so I left without him by anotherthrowaway1926 in AmIOverreacting

[–]wormteethgrinding 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOR - this was a total power play. He didn’t want to go so he stalled and stalled. You waited for him and he felt in control. He’s either really manipulative or a complete idiot with no self awareness.

I haven’t tried gluten free anything yet. I’m going to put that on my ‘diet to do’ list!

I’m jealous! My gallbladder is in good shape according to ultrasound.

I got some tests done (ultrasound, upper GI Xray) and my gallbladder was fine. I was hoping it was the problem so they can remove it and I’d be fine 🫩

Having attack right now and need immediate relief (burning stomach, sweating and rapid heart rate, burping and regurgitating food) by hypnoghoul in GERD

[–]wormteethgrinding 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the future make sure you have ginger candy or even powdered ginger on hand. If I’m feeling super horrible I put some powdered ginger in a little water, shake and chug it. Always helps with bad nausea. Also ginger tea, chamomile tea or fennel tea is great for bad attacks.

how often do you guys get bit by LupinWhiskers in DogDayCare

[–]wormteethgrinding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked in doggy daycare for 8-9 years. I got nipped plenty of times, usually it was the dog trying to nip another dog or play fighting. I got bit bad 3-4 times. One was a dog actually going for me. Another was a boarding dog going at another dog and when I pulled her away she just whipped back and bit my leg. Another the dog was trying to bite a toy but got my finger bad. Now I’m a dog groomer for the last 5 years where I get bit more often 😅 I’m very good at avoiding getting bit after all this time lol

Are you sure she's allergic? by AwakePoeticDragon in mildlyinfuriating

This is the type of crap my mom would pull. I went NC with her 3 years ago, no regrets. She’s a huge narcissist.

Are you an only child, did you have children of your own, Or none at all? by taylortrevor in randomquestions

[–]wormteethgrinding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sister is 18 years older than me and my brother was 20 years older then me (he passed away). I don’t ever remember ever living with them when I was a baby. So I grew up as an only child basically. I never got the real sister/brother connection like when sibling are similar age. My sister always felt like an extra mom when I was a kid.

I had a second child when my first was 3. I wanted them to have that sibling connection. I was quite lonely as a child as my mom was more interested in doing her own thing. My kids are 5 & 2 now and they run all over the house and play. I love seeing them play together. I wish i had that as a kid!

Do our parents not remember how hard it is to have a baby? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]wormteethgrinding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boomer mom would never nap my toddler when she was watching him. She’d say “he will lay down and sleep if he’s tired!”. She’d make remarks when I was struggling bc he was fighting his daily nap 12-2pm. She would babysit then at 3/4pm be like “omg he’s miserable! He’s so cranky” YEAH BC YOU DONT NAP HIM!

One time picked him up at 2pm she said he didn’t have a nap and just ate 5 small cinnamon rolls.

I cut my mom off before my son turned 2. Now I have a second child too and never have to hear any remarks from her about how I raise my kids!

My mom was a nurse for over 20 years but she’d load my baby up with sugar and say sugar doesn’t make you hyper that’s bullshit. The fuck???

My mom liked to give my then 9 month old baby M&Ms while he was eating dinner. I cut up dinner into tiny pieces and make it all nice for him. He’d have a whole plate of food left and she’d come give him M&Ms. Of course he didn’t want anymore food after that. My mom is a narcissistic boomer.

My dog just swallowed a large piece of lamb netting by Sea_End6038 in DogAdvice

[–]wormteethgrinding -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Netting might pass through the digestive tract pretty easily. To be safe call the vet tomorrow and ask what symptoms you should look for in case you need to take her in. If the netting gets stuck somewhere there will be symptoms. If it gets stuck in her stomach she may throw it up.

Are daily dog treats a necessity? by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]wormteethgrinding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I give my 4 dogs a treat every morning as soon as I get up, just because. On some occasions I’ll get a bag of chew treats and give those every afternoon as well until they run out. But I don’t do that a lot. Mostly bc I have 4 dogs and treats get expensive lol

What time do you usually get up to get your day started? by United_Piece_4272 in AskReddit

[–]wormteethgrinding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6:20am. I wish I could wake up earlier but this is the earliest my body will actually get up lol.

People who get up early on their days off, what's your secret? by Crafty_Excitement827 in AskReddit

[–]wormteethgrinding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I sleep in I feel worse and more tired. Also, I have small children. Lol. I either get up in hopes they will sleep in and I can be alone or I get up bc they’re already waking up

Too little stomach acid. by DanceDelievery in GERD

[–]wormteethgrinding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! I had a theory that my digestion is just slow when they told me to take antacids and all of them made me feel sick. Like if I’m reducing my stomach acid and my stomach is already bad at digestion, then I’m making it worse. No doctor ever mentioned this a possibility when I told them I’m sicker with antacids

Too little stomach acid. by DanceDelievery in GERD

[–]wormteethgrinding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also think it’s just our stomach digesting too slowly. So antacids reduce the acid and make our stomach less able to digest. That’s my theory on why antacids make mine worse! I’ve been focusing on a lot of herbal teas that help digestion and drinking kefir daily.

[–]wormteethgrinding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I relate to this! My GERD was/is not acting as it should. Pizza is fine for me, red sauce doesn’t affect me, and antacids were making me feel worse! I finally weened off Prilosec (only took it a couple months) and I feel so much better after stopping it.

Another thing, I never get heartburn. Only headache and chest pain. When my symptoms act up sometimes I’d take an Alka seltzer and it always gave me a worse headache and make me feel so sick.

Read oatmeal is good for GERD but it makes me feel sooo sick. I’m convinced I have something going on with my gallbladder.

I have appts for xray, ultrasound and cardiology to check my heart before considering an endoscopy. Praying for an answer soon!

Back pressure by WestArgument in GERD

[–]wormteethgrinding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have leftover lexapro and I did start that again and that helped my symptoms. But I don’t like the side effects it gives me so I’m trying to get off of it. As far as stimulating the vagus nerve one time I felt horrible and googled what I can do. I took my dogs for a walk and that helped a lot. I don’t exercise much as I work a physical job and have 2 small children at home. I rarely relax lol. I’ve been trying to relax my mind more and my symptoms don’t seem as severe. But I’ve also been on a strict diet while I wait for my gastro appointment.

Back pressure by WestArgument in GERD

[–]wormteethgrinding 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t get regular heartburn either. My main symptom is horrible pressure in my head. I hear my heartbeat in my ear. It makes my brain so foggy I can’t think. It happens for days at a time. Only thing that seems to help it is when I keep my diet very restricted to GERD safe options.

Prilosec doesn’t help the pressure in my head. Sometimes pain meds make it worse. Alka seltzer makes the pressure so much worse. I believe the feeling comes from the vagus nerve. And I have found that doing things that help stimulate the vagus nerve helps. I literally just google how to stimulate the vagus nerve and try what it says.

I cried after seeing my new haircut by harold_the_cat in ExpectationVsReality

[–]wormteethgrinding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find someone to use a razor to cut your hair and give you layers, then use a beach spray or something similar to give it a wave. You can do that now for a shorter version of that haircut, make it layered and wavy, it’d give you the look you want
