When I switched to a Purple Mattress, my need to be turned in the night decreased. I used to need to be moved a bit about halfway through the night, but now I usually sleep through the night.

I have not tried it yet, but a friend recently recommended joshin.com

Another one I have not yet tried, but plan to soon, is quadjobs.com

Good luck! (Luck is typically the best method when finding good PCAs)

If you have trouble with the humidity condensing, try covering the tube. They do make tube covers, but I just put a little blanket over most of the tube once I’m in bed.

Just curious… Have you reported your symptoms?

The only way science can be advanced, and people can know what is going on, is if all reactions are documented and the statistics are accurately reported.

Based on all of the current results, findings and leaks, I have no doubt that your symptoms are being caused by the injection. I will not be getting it, and I highly recommend everyone do some deep research of their own, even if they have already gotten it.

I have definitely always wanted to be Matilda.

After reading that your new wedge is what is causing the issue, and that you used to use a black towel…. My first thought is that I would make a few zippered or velcroed covers for the wedge, and just swap it out as needed. I’m big on being mostly surrounded by cotton, as synthetic materials are never great with sweat. Just make sure you have…[Read more]

Some of each?

I had similar issues for the first two weeks or so, but they subsided, thankfully. During that time, I found that taking it on a full stomach made it worse, but taking it with a smaller amount of food was better. I also find that I now need food every 4-5 hours or I start feeling weak. I did have a bit of this before starting Evrysdi, but t seems…[Read more]

I take probiotics every day, but DEFINITELY suggest them for anyone taking antibiotics.

Don’t bother with anything that is not refrigerated. There are lots of pricey options at the pharmacy, but that doesn’t mean they are worthwhile. I get mine at a local health food store, and opt for powder over capsules. My naturopath advised me to do…[Read more]

Hey!!! It was so worth it though. Tehehe!

If you have a gtube, I suggest doing a liquid multivitamin mixed with a couple of ounces of food. You can also try splitting it into two doses, so it’s spread out and still diluted by food. I do mine when I have some of my food (Liquid Hope and Real Food Blends) already in or about to go in my stomach.

If possible, I’d suggest getting the hang of it on desktop, as the website is more intuitive than the app, and it will show you all the features (example: click on one of the foods in your list, and it will show you the breakdown for just that item. Or click on one type of macro and it will show you your top sources from the day)

I’m another one with a useless dietitian. Welllllll…. I should not say she is useless, because she does write the scripts I need, but I learned to just tell her what I want, and overwhelm her (easy) with a couple supporting documents, so she doesn’t try to do something different.
If you are looking for a REAL food product, with a substantial…[Read more]

I’m a big fan of using Cronometer (free version is more than enough) whenever I want to get a closer look at how I’m doing with nutrition, or print out reports for my doctor to see. It’s really easy to use, once you get the hang of it, and provides so much info!

We have a few different things we do, depending on how long the outage is. If we think we miiiiiight lose power, first thing I’ll do is charge my batteries that fit my Vagabond Mini inverter. I have 3 batteries, and each will run my bipap for about 3 hours, so I will try to predict how many to charge. (Planned electrical line work: 1 battery.…[Read more]

I really like my TP-Links Smart Plugs for lights. They work with Alexa, or from their app, or from a button on them.

Hi, I don’t have much to offer in terms of whether or not it will provide any gains, as I’m new to the drug and have not noticed anything yet. I can, however, say that my biggest complaint when I began was that I started getting heartburn. For the first few days, it lasted for large portions of the day. The following week, it went to popping up…[Read more]

I was approved by Medicare within about ten days. If it makes any difference, I was not on Spinraza previously.
