Please replace Chris Collingsworth all the time with Jason Garrett…PLEASE
It’s nice not hearing the awful commentary
Yall don’t realize how fucking harmful y’all are! Whether they will ever see it or not, everyone u surround yourself w/sees u being a gross, judgmental person & that tells people u aren’t safe! Ur friends won’t trust you bc of shit like this
Keep your damn opinions to yourself!
Whether they have issues or not…first of all, it’s none of yalls damn business! None. Just bc they are celebrities does not mean yall get to be judgmental pricks. Second, you don’t know what they struggle with! You literally don’t! You are assuming based on appearance alone

But you know what…it’s not about the cast, it’s about the WOMEN. I don’t see yall analyzing Jeff Goldblum’s pics…not Jonathan Bailey or Ethan Slater…
No, yall have saved your armchair diagnosing for the women

Preach.
I’m so tired of this eugenics convo
Guess what…you don’t have a CLUE…none until they are born & you find out…you can’t avoid disability or med issues…
Are u going to avoid cars? The outdoors? Put them in a bubble & hide them away??
That is how ridiculous eugenics is

Finally buying a med box to keep all of Mr Spikes meds straight. I can do it with no problem, but I have to admit I’m not always around therefore others cannot
He’s up to six medications for his poor little heart but the fact he’s still with us is all that matters
Also…NO, she doesn’t want rando recommendations from internet strangers & I don’t want them either. With 17 years of experience, I’m going with my clinical judgement…

Atorvastatin = Lipitor
Rosuvastatin = Crestor
Ezetimibe = Zetia
I’m Dr. Ashley Perkins & though I am…daughter, I am also a pharmacist who has had significant experience w/the statin class of meds. Once my mother had the significant side effect of muscle pain after only taking a single dose of Atorvastatin, choosing Rosuvastatin would not have been my choice. I am not sure if u are aware or not but the statin class is separated into 2 groups, ones that have a higher incidence of LDL lowers & the other group has a sig. less percentage of LDL lowering capabilities. We know that the more the statin lowers the LDL level, the inc. chances a pt will experience muscle pain. Atorvastatin & Rosuvastatin are in this former group, high % of LDL lowering w/higher chances of muscle pain. Rosuvastatin actually has a higher % lowering per mg than Atorvastatin. I understand the plan was to have my mom take the lowest dose every other day but even still, Atorvastatin only took 1 dose so I think it’s fair to assume only 1 dose of Rosuvastatin would do the same.
My mom really does not want to take another statin and who could blame her, I cannot and if she was one of my patients in the pharmacy, I wouldn’t blame them either. Since she has explained to me that the medication was prescribed in the first place for increased plaques observed on her arteries & we want to prevent this from further accumulation, another medication class is an option. Ezetimibe is a viable option and I’ve already spoken to her about this option as it’s not related to the statin class and she would be more comfortable with an option like this. If there are any further questions please do not hesitate to either have my mom ask me or contact me directly. Thank you for your time, Ashley Perkins, PharmD, EdS, CPh
Mom has given me permission to share. The physician & pharmacy did not let her know about the side effect but I did & after seeing what they wanted to put her on next, I told her it should come from me so they take her seriously
We should not have to tho
But that vaccine that was developed in a laboratory is just…you know…not okay *insert eye roll*

Being a pedophile is bad. Preying on children is bad. Trafficking children is bad. Having sex with children is bad. Marrying children is bad.
STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY BEING FUCKING WRONG
In the grand year of 2025 this should not be controversial
Grown ass fucking adults need to leave children alone
Marrying children is not okay. It’s fucking gross & yall defending these fuckers are truly gross too
Like, this is not hard…get the fuck away from children
They still have them. I never had one as a kid but my kid got one & he was born in 2016

My uncle went from a pre-prof golfer to a quadriplegic at 19 due to a car accident
I went from being a ballet dancer to someone who can only lift up to 25 lbs post spinal surgery after a diving accident at 18
All the time. Wyatt will ask from time to time for me to show him stuff. I’ve actually also been able to help him with his balance for baseball using my ballet techniques.
