I hate these things. Also known as visionshadows on other platforms. I miss fandom. #uglydogs #philadelphiaeagles #philadelphiaflyers #transrights

They just wanted to cross the finish line and get cheered as well!

could see it. Unfortunately it's not something that easily shows up on CT or MRI since it's related to the CSF around your brain.

If you've been evaluated for this already, please ignore me. I just hate seeing someone suffer if there is even a chance it is IIH.

I haven't chimed in on this, but have they checked your optic nerves for swelling? Idiopathic intercranial hypertension can pop up out of nowhere. I've probably had it since I was 16, but they didn't find it until I was 36. Daily headaches that whole time. Once the optic nerve started swelling, they

Grandma visits are the MOST exhausting. We (dog and cat, not me) always get so excited and wiggly and then pass out for hours.

Honestly that looks EXACTLY like the floor loom I sold when my weaving room became a nursery in 2010.

Didn't happen to get it from the Philly area did you?

My kid and I saw a lifted CT yesterday. Yes, that's just as awful as you think it would be.

Dude, my back when I woke up this morning seems to think I landed on the bottom of a half-pipe doing a cool trick. I regret to inform it that all I did was sleep.

You were meant to stay there! It's good karma for the race. Seeing the book can remind you of all us #uglydogs cheering you on.

I regret to inform you that the hoodies are even softer. It's like wearing a warm cloud. Just so nice.

He is legit the quintessential NJ guy. Most of the guys I went to HS with look and talk like that. It is *very* friends, family, hard work, beers with the bros, don't fuck with the people I care about. Which is a lot more than people realize.

Our turkeys chase the mailman, but respect the folks who live in the neighborhood. Like, my husband ran over to chase them away from the mailman and they turned and walked away.

Just for that day of course. The poor mailman was chased again the next day.

Thank you. I have my eye doctor to thank for finding it. Two shunts later, that's in remission and I finally found a migraine med that works so I just get normal headaches.

But yeah, 20 years of headaches. My brain was so used to the extra pressure around it, it reacted badly to less pressure.

Ahaha. That reminds me of the neuro I saw when I was 16 at the start of my daily headaches. He couldn't figure out how to look at my scans on the computer so he just ... didn't, claimed it was hormones, and sent me on my way.

I have intercranial hypertension and spent 20 years with daily headaches

This is about 20 minutes away. As someone who also lives in a town with a high number of Hispanic/Asian/Middle Eastern folks, this just tells me they will come here.

That was what amazed me about mixed doubles. Just popping up and sweeping themselves after throwing the rock. With team curling, they don't do both on the same throw. And so many teams used only one sweeper! Like Kory Dropkin has arms of steel.

That is an impressive blanket nest there. We're big fans of blanket nests here as well. We will make sure to do as Donnie says.

and I was out for about a week and a half. I got a crazy bad migraine about 7 days in, so apparently that's my limit for missing the med.

You have to fail a lot to get to the drugs that are actually starting to work for people and that sucks so much. I really, really hope it keeps working for you!

I had no luck with Botox, was okay on Aimovig for a bit but that stopped working, and moved to Qulipta. It has been a complete life-changer. I had 3-4 migraines a week plus daily regular headaches. I get 1-2 a month and I very rarely have to use rescue meds. There was a mess up with my script

Hey #uglydogs. I *know* we have people who can do these things. Claire and others are setting up an alternative SotU mutual aid fundraiser.

We all want to pretend to bite the head off something and Dino nuggets let you do that. Plus you can make them fight before you eat them.

I would use Bouqs and get myself flowers every so often when the farmer's market was closed for winter. It was nice. I should start getting myself flowers again.
