Joint discomfort during period?

Mid 30s. 17 months postpartum. Finally got my period back after finally weaning my son. Since then I have been having the worst anxiety and the joints in my fingers have been bothering me so much. I feel like I have arthritis or something.

Anyone else have experience with joint pain/discomfort/inflammation during their periods?

Changing career paths - what are some jobs that pay well and can work from home?

I’ve been a CART captioner/stenographer for 7 years now. I’m in my mid 30s and I now have a 1 year old and haven’t worked in 1.5 years. I planned on working this year but the only job offers I got were far from where I live. There hasn’t been a lot of work lately. Unfortunately there has been a large cut in funding in the disability department.

I am now thinking it’s time to start something new. I just have no idea what. I’ve been briefly looking into it. My mother is supportive of me going back to school but I honestly don’t have a clue on what to do.

I thought I’d see if there was anyone who suggested a career path that could be from home and gets paid well. I think seeing a list/suggestions from others will give me more ideas on what to look for.

Ear infection prevention

My now 15 month old had a really bad ear infection 3 months ago. He was put on antibiotics. He showed no signs besides a really high temp.

My husband is now really sick. I’m worried about my son getting sick again and it resulting to an ear infection. I’ve seen suggestions on garlic oil, but how do I give him this when he shows no signs like ear tugging? Are there any other ways to help lessen our chances of getting another one? He’s already been on antibiotics twice. I would like to do all that I can to prevent that from happening again.

Removing old wallpaper advice

I’ve been working on a dollhouse I found on Facebook marketplace. I’m having a really hard time removing some of the wallpaper and the flooring. Is it possible to just sand it down and wallpaper over it? If not, what’s a good way to remove it?

Beet kvass - do I strain the beets before putting it in the fridge?

First time making it. I’m reading to let it ferment for 7-21 days. Do I burp everyday? And once it’s ready, should I strain the beets before putting it in the fridge? I’ve been watching multiple recipes on Instagram and it doesn’t say or it seems like everyone does things differently.

Suggestions please!

Just picked this up on fb marketplace for $20! I’ve always wanted to redo a dollhouse so super excited about this. It does need a lot of work though.

This is all new to me and I was wondering if anyone had suggestions as to what tools I should get, best sites to look for replacement parts, and etc.

I’m just wondering how to go about finding the right doors to get or windows or outdoor fencing for a specific dollhouse. Does everyone actually make these pieces or can I go online and find something that fits perfectly with this specific dollhouse?

I am going to start looking into it online, but I love reddit, and thought I’d see if I can get any suggestions on here as well. Thank you!

1 year old teething with 102 temp - suggestions please

*Feeling very crappy and dumb thinking my baby is teething, when all of the comments are saying it’s very likely that he’s sick. Just gave him a dose of genexa. Pediatrician called me back just now and said to give him a dose, monitor temp, and call first thing in the morning. I have him sleeping on my boob with a wet rag on my head. First time mom here. This is all new to me so thank you for the comments.*

We just saw ped 2 weeks ago and she made us look in his mouth saying his molars were coming in. She suggested we get some genexa because the nights might get a little rough.

Well it was last night. Did not want to eat and had 102 fever when we checked at 3 AM. He was waking up every 2 hours and needing to be on the boob. I did give him some Motrin before he fell asleep. Didn’t help much.

He was still miserable this morning and currently has 102.5 fever. It seems to be going up and down. He seems totally fine and then he starts feeling miserable and hot. I’m nursing him with a wet rag on his head.

All I’m reading is that if it’s teething his temp wouldn’t be this high. But he’s not sick. We were just sick 3.5 weeks ago and he has no other symptoms. His ears are red, he’s drooling excessively, his mouth shivers when he’s crying which usually doesn’t happen, and he doesn’t want to eat which is unlike him.

Does anyone else’s LO get a temp this high from teething? What else can I do to help him? I plan on calling ped first thing tomorrow morning but I’m at a loss on what to do until then. Will give him Motrin before bed and will nurse all night because that’s all the gives him comfort but any other suggestions would be appreciated. Worried mom right now 😢
