Previously I was working out 3 days a week bc I had a foot injury and even just walking was painful. I’ve rehabbed my foot and have added more workouts, walking 3 miles per day now and going to Pilates 2-3 days a week as well. More active than I have been in the past 7 months since I have way less pain now. So why are my numbers looking worse? I was getting 150-154 readings and now this week they’re more like 167–173 ish. This disease is baffling and I’m sick of it.

I notice them in my kitchen every spring but this year is especially terrible.

Just found one crawling up my arm in my BED.

Why are they so bad this year? Any natural remedies? I don’t like to put out ant traps, even if they say pet safe (I don’t trust it) bc we have cats. I’m losing my damn mind. Some are extremely mini and some are the bigger ones. Been deep cleaning every surface multiple times a day and it feels like it doesn’t help at all!!!

But I’m also a bit scared to sign up for 1.5s! I’m about 8 weeks into my membership and have been going to 2 classes per week.

How were the results? I’d never do filler, but this sounds like what I need. I’m trying to go in for a consult in my area with a plastic surgeon, oculoplastic surgeon or cosmetic derm and I’m having zero luck finding any who offer them. All that comes up in my research are med spa type places and laser center places who have aestheticians or NPs doing it.

Is this not a widely available service with very experienced MDs who know what they’re doing?

It just seems kind of gross that they only give 1 cleaning wipe at the end of class for the person to wipe down everything touched. 1 wipe is barely enough for cleaning the hand and foot straps, let alone all parts of the reformer and other things used (ball, bar, mat, etc).
