This is all one nap, I did wake up in the middle when my partner came over, then decided to go back to sleep. Somehow the oura ring has 3 pretty different data interpretations of that same nap? It adds and removes REM at one point too.

I’ve avoided taking antihistamines just because I didn’t like taking a pill for it. My partner has allergies and gave me one after signing me, and it worked great. Can’t believe I’ve held out on taking antihistamines! Anyone notice any long-term effects with taking them frequently?

If I take it in the morning? I fall asleep in class. If I take it in the evening? This…

What’s the solution to this madness? I feel like I’m on a good dose for me. My psychiatrist recommended if I get insomnia that I should take it during the morning, but that doesn’t work for me. Any recommendations for fragmented sleep while on lexapro?

So much activity, so little thought

I’ve never seen a cat go so insane from catnap. He was dragging it out of my hands before I could even open the ziplock bag!!!

So scary

Absolutely 👽 This creature is too sweet for earth

He was NOT understanding the word “moderation” and demanded the whole baggie I had. The photos were worth it though lmao

Background: I recently got a new long haired cat who’s an absolute sweetheart that I do not plan on getting rid of. We’re his 4th owners, and he’s under 2 years old. He hasn’t even lost any of his homes due to behavioral issues, just very unfortunate events.

We already have a current cat (about 4 years old) who has what I assumed were seasonal allergies. Her allergies act up around her shedding season, and she only sheds twice a year. She’s otherwise the lowest hair burden cat I’ve ever met.

Shes had a few, very sparse, incidents that looked like asthma to me in the past, but never frequent enough to be investigated. Recently, they started happening much more frequently and her allergies got much worse, especially when he started cohabiting the same spaces as her. I wound up taking her to the vet for fatigue and allergies plus mentioned the incidents that looked like possible asthma. My vet saw a video and said she agreed.

So far I have started: loratidine 5mg / day, l-lysine powder in her food, and was already giving the new cat purine proplan liveclear because my bf has mild allergies to the cats. We also have an air purifier, although it may not be big enough. I also groom the new cat about weekly and use dry shampoo weekly/biweekly.
I have seen improvements with the loratidine and the L-lysine.

TLDR: my old cat is allergic to cats, and I just got a second cat.

Does anyone have any additional recommendations to help her allergies?

I feel like I’m already maxing everything out and she’s still a little bit sniffly. She’s a LOT better after a few days (about 5-7 days now?) of allergy meds and actively caring for her allergies. I don’t really want to resort to an inhaler eventually, but I’m concerned about the long-term.

Friend pointed at my large vein and said around the antecubital crease it looks like I may have a valve. I bruise easily after workouts that utilize that joint and after bloodwork sometimes. You can see light bruising permanently. If there’s a valve there that makes more sense.

Poor baby is a little congested by her seasonal allergies in this video. Please ignore that the car engine sounds like it needs maintenance, I swear she gets her Claritin, L-lysine, vet visits and TLC. She’s exactly where she wants to be

He’s learned to associate shoes with leaving, can open every door in the house, has been experimenting with how the front door works and tries to play fetch with the automatic vacuum (I clean up his toys, and he’ll carry them to the robot and place it in front of it)… i had no clue I was signing up for such a cute ball of trouble…
