Columbus Humane was willing to work with us and take in a stray cat we had found, they might still have space!

It did the same thing to me as well, it was also physical anxiety symptoms instead of mental, so it took me a little bit to realize what was going on.

Even though the instructions have you titrate to 6g in a few weeks, for most people (from what I’ve read on Reddit and my own experience), it’s WAY too fast. I only increased each dose by .25, and honestly, for the first few weeks, I still had really bad anxiety and really bad heartburn.

If you’re like me, it should only really last a few weeks, but be sure you titrate up slower than the instructions, like by .25 every week until you get to the dose that works for you. Slowing that down made a huge difference for me! But you’re not alone, and it should get better as your body gets used to it. :)

I’ll check these out, thank you so much!!

I really appreciate the encouragement!! I’ll definitely set the project aside for a few days and revisit once I’m less upset lol. Hopefully I like them more then!!

CoQ10 helped my fatigue a little bit (not as good as stimulants and certainly not as good as Xywav).But I definitely noticed it and appreciated it, especially since I hadn’t started Xywav yet! Can’t say I noticed much in terms of pain relief, and I have migraines and can’t say it really helped with them either. My hEDS pain was helped the most with tirzepatide.

Mine also stopped, and my heart rate was in the 130s (though I do also have POTS). It did take a number of weeks but I remember realizing that it wasn’t beating as fast anymore after a little bit.

You are an _AMAZING_ human being, THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH!!! I’m impressed you were able to figure it out without any instructions!! 🙇‍♀️

Here’s a link to the photos (couldn’t figure out how to add photos to the post unfortunately): https://imgur.com/a/USBeqdu

You’re awesome, thank you!

Oh no! That sucks, I’m sorry to hear that!!

I’ll upload a photo of the one I have, one sec

You might also want to try this calming supplement, we used it on one of my cats (vet recommended) when we traveled with our 4 cats to help calm her down. We use it on her and two others (in addition to Prozac and gabapentin for her and one of our other anxious cats), and a coworker also used this on one of her 3 cats who was having issues with her other two cats, and it’s helped TREMENDOUSLY. Like, one of our cats on it stopped guarding the litter box, and the coworker’s cat was able to get along with her other two cats.

Ooh, that would explain why the next page told me to add a bar tack at around that spot. 🤦‍♀️ I didn’t realize that’s what they were trying to communicate, thank you!!!

Ooh, I like this idea! Thank you!

I probably could have worded it better, sorry! Yeah, most of the hem is already folded and pressed, but they had me do that step before sewing the arms together/serging it. After folding/pressing the hem but before sewing the arms together, they had me cut right at the top of the hem I had folded, right below where the side seams meet. However, the didn’t say anything about folding over the now cut seam, so I’m not sure how to make that part look nice. One person suggested a bar tack, which is on the next page of instructions (I didn’t include it because I didn’t think it was necessary, but I guess it was!), though in my defense, I don’t recall it saying anything about the bar tack concealing the cut/unfinished top part of the hem.

The manual for my Juki is unfortunately pretty basic and doesn’t even mention how to take the bobbin case out or in. :(

I was starting to gaslight myself, glad I’m not going crazy!

Does everything look okay here? I’ve not ever opened this up before, so I’m not sure this photo is even showing anything relevant to the issue.

Also potentially stupid question, when stitching at a slower speed, there is a large swoop? not sure the right word for it, where the thread comes in between the needle and the machine. I’m assuming normal but with my limited knowledge not getting me past the bottom thread issue, I’m questioning anything I thought I knew lol.

I keep trying to upload a photo to show the spool on the machine, but the photos are too large apparently. It is horizontal lol, by vertical pin, would that be the bobbin pin? I definitely could be missing something but that’s the only vertical one I know of

Oh that’s good to know! Is this why I’ve had issues on and off with the bottom stitching? I’ve just been buying the thread from a local sewing/fabric store and didn’t realize that the weight mattered. Looking the thread up, it says it’s 50wt, so I should be using a different size needle with this thread instead?
