Been on this for about 8 months was hopeful it may help me move in the right direction especially with my afib, high blood pressure and severe OA in both knees. But here I am at the endocrinologist amd they weighed me and I am down only 25 pounds. Ofc I know eating right and exercise is a key I was just hoping for a better number than what I saw. Yes this is not a miracle but I see so many good stories on here
So im gonna start by saying I am planning on calling the ostomy nurses for another appt. That said just a few wks back noticed the area around my stoma had been bleeding from time to time. I've always worn a 1" opening and never had issues except on a few rare occasions. Now it is bleeding most of the time and really all around, the ostomy nurse did not see anything abnormal or concerning and measured it for me suggesting I move up to a 1 1/8 opening. Did so a wk ago and as you can see that has not helped and clearly it is not rubbing on the edges. Has anyone ever experienced this or know someone who has and what maybe it could be? I also started a blood thinner 2x a day probably 2 wks before this started so I thought maybe that is playing a part in this. Semi concerned but trying not to stress over this.
Went to the bank and found out i have about $3500 left to pay off on my mortgage. Although I know it will be slightly higher than that with taxes and all but is it worth it to pay off at that amount or just finish the loan out for the next 6 months? I now have a car payment that was unexpected and I did not install to add that on to my monthly expenses but I have to.
So just curious if anybody has experienced worse behavior from their child when on this? We have tried Methylphenidate in the past and I did not see much help. So I started my 10yo on this med and lately his mood and attitude towards me when he is at home is atrocious. He is very disrespectful, telli.g me i suck, yells at lot is more sassy and talks back more, wants to argue all the time. Mind you i did not see how he was on this in the day as he was at summer camp and now he has started school. He takes a 1mg ER tablet in the morning. I am beyond frustrated at this point. There is not a day any more where there is not some sort of argument or fight when asking him to do stuff. So clearly this seems like not the right med for him. He has been seeing a counselor for a yr now and although she has helped him in the area of his anger towards his tablet im starting to think it just shifted now to me. Not sure what direction to take now other than a child psychiatrist/psychologist.
Looking for some thoughts on this. I have a 2008 Rav 4 good car however the transmission has gone and may need replaced. Im wondering if it is worth it in such an older model, i have already put in a refurbished engine last fall. It has over 200,000 miles. I do not have the full breakdown as it is still at a service center and I need to work on finding someone who does transmission work near me and get it towed there if possible. What it does is it is quiet when I am stopped and then when I press the gas it jolts and/or jerks real bad. Not too much to go on but if anyone has any thoughts or inputs thank you.
2 yrs now with this and really no issues. When I first had it I found out quick that rice was not my friend. Nor something spicy. Weeellll I have been eating pretty much anything I like and today ate a crap more cashews because I love them and lo and behold im sitting here messing with my bag and I feel something quite large and hard and there was a half cashew!!! Yes half a cashew. Never felt it come out didnt hurt but crap that's scary to me. I have eaten multitude of nuts many times and popcorn. Kinda is making me nervous tho. That's my story that im sharing 🤣
So i did some research and based on my weight this is what i got i need about .55-.9 grams of protein per my body weight or 187 grams a day equivalent to 45-50 per meal if I eat 4 meals a day. Hear me out here tho there are days like yesterday where I felt nauseous most of the day and had no appetite and the thought of trying to eat something made me squimesh. I took my shot last thursday so its not like I just took it. Honestly most days i really dont feel like eating but i do try to eat a dinner cuz i have to cook for my 9yo. I fir purchase some Atkins high protein shakes and oatmeal cups hoping this helps in the day. My question is how are u all getting that much protein and fiber in your diet daily?
So im still trying to figure this all out. We have tried Methylphenidate and IC amphetamine salts which are the generics for Adderall and Ritalin. They may have worked a bit but when they wore off it was rough at night at home. So after a bit I decided not to keep my son on either one. He has been squirming in class, talking with friends when he should not be, looking out the windows, moving in place struggles with school work. He has been this way since kindergarten and last year was put on a 504 plan to help assist in learning and giving him outs if you will that other kids dont fet offered. We struggle with anger and fights and yes I know some is his age and the basics of growing up, but it is the sass, talking back, repeating things 10x and hope they still get done, not listening, arguing, using mean language towards family, abrupt outburst when he is not getting his way and what he wants. I could go on but now I am trying Guanfacine and again I'm not sure dont get me wrong it seems to work(he has been on it only 4 days) but this kid is so subdued, very ho hum, he eats, still smiles, jokes but its like his zest for activity is kinda gone and this kid was always on the move and wanted to be outside. This is why I had always waited and never wanted to try meds. Had anybody else tried this med and seen this with their child?
