2024.05.14 08:10 vadroqvertical How I (personally and mostly) overcome FQAD, took me ~600 days

Hey everyone,
I wanted to share how I personally managed to overcome FQAD (or at least the worst part of it, lets hope to not relapse). I’m not quite at 100%, but I’m somewhere in the 95-99% range, depending on whether it’s a good or bad day. Initially, I experienced tendon and muscle issues all over my body—from my feet to my neck. I dealt with some minor fatigue, twitching, and cracking. It took me around 600 days, including at least 500 PT/rehab sessions, to reach this point.
I still take quite a few supplements, but they’ve helped me maintain that 95% level. If I stop taking them for a while, I notice a decline. Here’s what’s been working for me:
Other strategies that worked for me:
  1. Rehab: This had the biggest impact alongside time. Over 500 rehab sessions, I gradually loaded my tendons, allowing me to regain normalcy. I can lift, hike, cycle, do chores, and work. I could even run, but I’m not a fan. I’ll continue with rehab, transitioning to normal training over time. I even made a special instagram account for my rehab progress, it also contains some information how to start if someone wants on their own, that link is in my profile here in reddit
  2. Time: The 19 months of being floxed played a significant role in my recovery.
  3. Fasting/Caloric Deficit: Initially, fasting caused flare-ups, but now it’s fine. The caloric deficit during fasting likely triggers autophagy, including mitophagy.
  4. Breathing exercises: I do Wim Hof Breathing, Box Breathing, and the Physiological Sigh from Hubberman throughout the day.
  5. Near Infrared Therapy: Once I found the right dosage, it noticeably sped up my leg recovery. (my dosage is quiet low, its currently like 1,3j/cm2 and still gradually adding more slowly slowly)
  6. Heat and Cold Exposure: I exposed myself to both heat and cold, which helps with mitochondria biogenesis.
  7. Social Interaction: Having supportive friends, especially my wife, made a huge difference but also finding other floxies who shared the same mindset about doing something about it
  8. Supplements: I’ve tried many, but the ones listed above have been the most beneficial.
Final Thoughts:
I might be luckier than others in terms of how hard I was floxed, but who really knows? I credit my recovery to a combination of factors: antioxidants, magnesium, persistence in rehab, and the realization that I had to save myself. There’s no magic cure; it’s a process. Once I shifted my mindset, I made progress. It’s not just mental—it’s action.

2024.05.14 04:21 Lufthansa138 What's your favorite console Sims game? I'm basically talking all the non-PC "ports". Feeling in the mood to play something nostalgic.

Growing up I was heavily investing the Sims for PC, all the way from Sims 1 to the current day. I recently found my old DS and noticed a copy of both My Sims and Sims 2 Castaway which I had no earthly memory of until that very moment. I honestly don't recall if I liked the games or if the limited factor made me run right back to PC.
I recently replayed HM: More friends of Mineral Town for the GBA and I'm really in the mood to play more of these older games I missed out on back in the day. I hear the sims console games are wild, so what's your favorite and why! :D
PS: It can be any console game, not just the ones I own. I'm super curious.

2024.05.14 04:01 ThrowawayN00bqLos3r Borderlands 3 Was Randy Pitchford’s Wet Dream. Awful Game.

Absolute horrid story. I watched the whole game when it released on youtube around 4 years ago and now i finally played it for myself and beat the game a few weeks ago. I swear this was the most cringy worst game i’ve played in my entire life. Nearly every character is a midget now and they’re called “tinks” now. What was randy pichford thinking? Did he have a wet dream about what borderlands 3 should be and came up with midgets for every single boss? I bet the guy watched a ton of midget porn and had a fetish for that crap. It’s like he had a wet dream and wrote “midgets and streamers” as the main game’s objective on a piece of paper and told the entire game management team to go crazy. Lmao..
I bet he hired just about anybody to work on this awful game.
Here are some of my gripes.
All of enemies in the game are unserious and goofy now. Unlike how borderlands 1 you actually took enemies and bosses serious and they came off as deadly and badass. Now it’s like you’re against mentally challenged babies. Remember how scared and anxious you were to fight sledge in bl1? Yeah now you’re fighting against a midget baby boss that goes down in 10 shots.
Are you telling me every planet has psychos and just about the same enemies? Why couldn’t they have designed more enemies for each planet to make it feel unique. It makes the game’s world feel unauthentic. Like psychos should only be on pandora because how would they even get to space? Like what.
The new psycho design is a joke. I liked bl1’s design better when they were crazy coal miners who lost their jobs and went crazy. Now they’re just troy and tyreen’s puppets who try and imitate bl1’s psychos. Wtf happened to bruisers now? They felt intimidating in bl1 and 2 and now they’re just goofies with shotguns.
Why when we travel to new planets for the first time do we automatically appear with our shuttle crashed? No cutscene or anything of us landing? It’s just flat out lazy. Even the shuttles are in areas where it would be impossible to actually land. The planet previews are laughable and it’s lazy game design.
The vault bosses were mediocre and uninteresting compared to bl1 and 2. It’s like you’re fighting a dlc boss instead of an actual vault monster. I killed each vault monster in 3 minutes. A waste of what could’ve been something interesting. In the pre sequel’s ending you felt hyped for bl3 to come out because there were going to be all these cool vaults you could find. I didn’t feel an ounce of that when i played bl3. Every single vault has the same exact layout. It’s like the dev team were too lazy to even design something interesting. None of the vaults have good loot either. It’s laughable.
Don’t even get me started on how they made typhon deleon. He’s goofy, short, and fat and you can’t take him serious at all. This was a good moment to make a memorable character that was mentioned and hyped up in all 3 games but they ruined it all. Randy pitchford would rather have a midget fat guy that sounds like danny devito as the first vault hunter. Lmao.. This guy’s fetish went too far. ☠️
The calypso twins being typhon deleon’s kids makes no sense. They would be rich and already have all they wanted but instead they wrote them as bratty ungrateful kids who want world domination. Like what? You can’t takes these villains serious at all.
What in the hell were they thinking for the eridian homeworld planet? Remember how cool and awesome it was going to the vault in the end of bl1 and seeing the eridians. Now there’s none of that and it’s like you’re fighting kung fu fighters instead. The entire level’s design is so boring, bland, and uninteresting. Literally all they did was put two floating cubes in the middle of the map then copy and pasted the same structures all throughout the maps. Lmao.. such a waste of what could have been a cool planet to visit.
The dialogue in this game was horrible. It’s like nonstop jokes where you can’t even take anything serious. Every character is goofy and poorly portrayed. They were trying too hard to make the game funny.
When a main character dies they get a 30 second memorial talk and the game moves on. Also they made tannis a siren. LOL
Every single side mission felt like you were playing a torture simulator that got increasingly more annoying every time.
The only time i felt like the game was alright was the 1-2 missions we get to play that have mordecai, brick, and tiny tina. I liked that they made brick and mordecai look kinda like they did in bl1.
The part where you go to the jacobs estate and get to the jacobs ceo’s room it’s like why are there books everywhere? Isn’t this the guy the one who made jacob’s corporation and designed awesome guns? The one mentioned all of bl1 and 2? That guy? Why is his room filled with books and beer kegs? Shouldn’t there be guns hanging on the walls or something.. That’s awful game and character design.
Why didn’t they let us revisit fyrestone or some of the old locations from bl1 and 2? That would’ve been awesome but they would rather design new variations of midgets lmao.
Oh and the worst of all is the voice and gun sounds menu. Why didn’t they add a custom gun sound option that you could turn down? My ears were bleeding half the time from how loud the guns are (especially that acid legendary gun) and i spent half of my gameplay turning the volume up and down constantly trying to find a good level to where my ears wouldn’t explode and i could still hear the game. I literally had a ear ache. The technical vehicle’s engine sound was so loud i never used it half the time, and i only used the bike wheel vehicle for how badly loud it was. Also Ellie’s voice is so loud and obnoxious.
I bought the Ultimate Edition too with every single add on and dlc and you couldn’t get me to even try to ever play this game again. Lmao.
I played that mission of claptrap’s videogame and i said nope, i’m fucking done. That was the most annoying shit i had to sit through in a video game.
I already know the dlc would suck ass just like the main game. I can pass on the brain rot. No thanks. The last borderlands game i’ll probably play is tales from the borderlands 1. That’s even if i ever try it.
Borderlands as a whole is finished. The movie trailer was god awfully laughable. Randy pitchford is paying the price for his midget fetish.
I probably missed some stuff and might make a part 2 but there’s my 2 cents on this game.

2024.05.14 03:43 Pjask63s 19 with 283 Total Testosterone

19 with 283 Total Testosterone
The first time I got tested, my total testosterone came out to 283ng/dl. Was absolutely shocked, because I believe it would be at least 600-800. Few weeks later I got tested once again, and my free testosterone this time came to 236 pmol/L and my sperm count is low. My doctor says it’s “normal”, since when is feeling tired often and low libido normal at 19 years old? Arguably the worst news I’ve ever heard, to know that I am literally less of a man absolutely destroys me.
I am about 5’9 at 197LBS, my body fat had risen past 15% during my one year lean bulk and I’ve begun cutting recently. But it’s a very small deficit of only 200 calories which I planned to slowly ramp up. Threw in some intermittent fasting as well, and have been training hard following a PPLRPPL split with sprints on my off days plus daily mobility and stretching. I sleep easily 8-9 hours per day, going to bed at 10 PM and waking up naturally between 6-7 every morning. I am currently eating about 2500 calories in a very slight deficit, every single thing I eat is natural and unprocessed. I aim for nutrient dense foods and make sure to get enough vitamins/minerals/micronutrients/fiber and supplement with Vitamin D, ashwaganda on the daily. Currently consuming about 200g protein, 80g fats, 180g of carbs every single day. I’ve even gone as far as trying to cut out almost all the chemicals from my life. And this isn’t something I’ve started doing recently, I’ve been doing this for over a year now. Natural fluoride free toothpaste, natural bar soap/shampoo/laundry and dish detergent. Replace as many daily use plastics with metal/wood if possible. No chemical filled cosmetics like sunscreen, coconut oil, olive oil, ghee, grass fed organic butter or beef tallow only.
At this point I genuinely do not know what to do. I’ve called a few endocrinologist’s but they won’t take me unless a doctor recommends me. I’ve visited the three doctors I have local to me regarding this issue already. I’ve skimmed over TRT and one of the effects which scare me is my balls shrinking or losing the ability to have children. What should I be doing? Where should I go from here?
I’ve attached a photo of my current physique if this is in any matter relevant; I am a lifetime natural.

2024.05.14 02:31 Street-Razzmatazz978 Dev Release 29

May 14, 2024 Dev Release 29 Greeting BlockDAG Community,
Hope you'll had a blasting weekend Building on our BlockDAG Mining Discussion: Following up on our conversation about mining algorithms last week, let's delve deeper into the RandomX protocol. It emerged as a promising candidate during our discussions, and we believe it warrants a closer technical examination to understand its suitability for our BlockDAG project.
Key Points:
We'll be resuming our exploration of BlockDAG mining implementation. As a reminder, Mondays are typically filled with planning meetings. Building on our initial discussion about mining algorithms, let's focus on RandomX.
We'll explore the technical aspects of RandomX to assess its viability. What is RandomX protocol and let's understand the importance for us RandomX has become a cornerstone for many blockchain projects prioritizing decentralization and fair mining practices. This Proof-of-Work (PoW) algorithm stands out for its focus on CPU utilization, making it resistant to specialized hardware like ASICs.
There are various reasons why we're considering it as an optimized algorithm for us:
Performance Optimization:
While RandomX is CPU-centric, knowledge of its workings can help optimize mining software for better performance on specific CPU architectures. CPU mining allows regular users to participate in the mining process, fostering a more inclusive network.
Security Audits:
Familiarity with RandomX's design principles can aid in security audits, allowing you to identify potential vulnerabilities in your own PoW implementation. The algorithm leverages established cryptographic tools like AES, Blake2, and Argon2 to ensure overall security.
As we claim for performance and security this protocol has been our very first choice for the algorithm.
RandomX in BlockDAG:
A Technical Deep Dive RandomX achieves its CPU-friendliness and ASIC resistance through a combination of techniques:
Random Code Execution: Pseudo Code: function GenerateRandomInstruction():
// Generate random instruction from SRVVM instruction set
// (integefloating-point arithmetic, conditional branches, memory access)
return instruction
function GenerateProgram():
program = [] for i in range(program_size):
 program.append(GenerateRandomInstruction()) 
return program
The algorithm dynamically generates instructions (code) at runtime using the SRVVM instruction set. This thwarts ASICs, which are designed to excel at executing pre-defined sets of instructions efficiently.
Now let's get into the implementation of RandomX protocol in BlockDAG:
As our blockchain is DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) based, the mining process and consensus mechanism may differ from a traditional blockchain with a linear structure. In a BlockDAG blockchain, transactions will be represented as vertices in a graph, and blocks are not necessarily organized in a linear sequence.
RandomX algorithm Here's how the RandomX algorithm could be adapted for BlockDAG:
Transaction Inclusion: Miners select transactions from the DAG to include in the block they are mining. These transactions will be chosen based on factors like transaction fees and priority.
RandomX Initialization:
The RandomX algorithm initializes a dataset based on the state of the DAG. However, since the DAG structure may change dynamically with new transactions, the dataset initialization process needs to account for this by incorporating the latest DAG state.
Cache Initialization:
Miners create a cache from the RandomX dataset, as before, but they may need to adjust the cache creation process to accommodate the DAG structure. Each mining thread creates its own cache, potentially incorporating different parts of the dataset based on the DAG state.
Mining Process:
Miners execute the RandomX hashing function on the cache and the block data, as before. The resulting hash is compared against the target difficulty, and if it meets the criteria, the miner successfully mines a block.
  1. Verification: Other nodes in the network verify the mined block by independently executing the RandomX hashing function and validating the transactions included in the block. Since the blockchain is DAG-based, nodes may need to traverse the DAG to verify the transactions' validity.
Here's a high-level pseudocode representation of the mining process:
function RandomX(cache, input):
// Perform a series of mathematical operations on the cache and input
// to generate a hash result
result = ComputeHash(cache, input)
return result
function MineBlock():
// Initialize RandomX dataset based on the current state of the DAG
dataset = InitializeDataset()
// Create cache for each mining thread
for thread in mining_threads:
 cache[thread] = CreateCache(dataset) 
// Mining loop
while true:
 for thread in mining_threads: // Select transactions to include in the block from the DAG selected_transactions = SelectTransactionsFromDAG() // Execute RandomX hashing function on cache and block data hash_result = RandomX(cache[thread], selected_transactions) // Check if hash result meets difficulty criteria if hash_result < target_difficulty: // Block successfully mined return hash_result 
This pseudocode outlines the basic steps involved in mining a block on BlockDAG using the RandomX algorithm.
Detailed pseudo code Here is the detailed pseudo code our implementation:
function GenerateRandomInstruction():
// Generates a random instruction from the SRVVM instruction set
// (includes integefloating-point arithmetic, conditional branches, memory access)
return instruction
function GenerateProgram():
program = []
for i in range(program_size): program.append(GenerateRandomInstruction())
return program
function InitializeRandomXDataset(dag):
// Initialize RandomX dataset based on the current state of the DAG
dataset = [] for vertex in dag.vertices: dataset.append(Hash(vertex.data))
// Hashing each vertex's data for dataset initialization
return dataset
function CreateCache(dataset):
// Create cache for RandomX computation
cache = []
for i in range(cache_size):
 cache.append(dataset[RandomIndexInRange(0, len(dataset))]) // Randomly select dataset entries for cache return cache 
function RandomX(cache, input):
// Perform RandomX hashing function on cache and input
result = ComputeHash(cache, input)
return result
function MineBlock(dag, mining_threads):
// Initialize RandomX dataset based on the current state of the DAG
dataset = InitializeRandomXDataset(dag)
// Create cache for each mining thread
for thread in mining_threads:
 cache[thread] = CreateCache(dataset) 
// Mining loop
while true:
 for thread in mining_threads: // Select transactions to include in the block from the DAG selected_transactions = SelectTransactionsFromDAG(dag) // Execute RandomX hashing function on cache and block data hash_result = RandomX(cache[thread], selected_transactions) // Check if hash result meets difficulty criteria if hash_result < target_difficulty: // Block successfully mined return hash_result 
Stay tuned! As we move forward towards the core of the technical implementation these algorithms will become more and more meaningful. Stay tuned for further updates!

Mindful Eating and Portion Control

Achieving a balanced lifestyle encompasses more than just the foods we consume. It also involves cultivating a mindful approach to our eating habits.

By fostering this mindful relationship with our meals, we can develop a healthier and more sustainable relationship with food.

One of the key strategies for mindful eating is to slow down and be present during mealtimes. Rather than rushing through our meals or multitasking while we eat, we should take the time to appreciate the flavors, textures, and aromas of our food. This heightened awareness not only enhances the enjoyment of our meals but also allows us to better recognize when we have reached a state of fullness, preventing us from consuming more than our bodies need.
Portion control is another essential aspect of mindful eating and healthy living. Overeating, even of nutritious whole foods, can lead to weight gain and other health concerns. By being mindful of our portion sizes and focusing on balanced plates that incorporate a variety of plant-based foods, lean proteins, and whole grains, we can ensure that our bodies receive the necessary nutrients without consuming excessive calories.
Implementing practical strategies, such as using smaller plates, eating slowly, and listening to internal hunger and fullness cues, can help us cultivate a more mindful approach to eating. This, in turn, can lead to sustainable weight management, improved digestion, and a greater sense of overall well-being.
By embracing mindful eating and portion control, we can unlock the full benefits of a healthy, balanced lifestyle. This holistic approach to food consumption not only nourishes our bodies but also fosters a deeper appreciation for the joy and satisfaction that can be found in every bite.

Managing Food Allergies and Intolerances

Navigating a healthy eating lifestyle can pose unique challenges for individuals with food allergies or intolerances. However, with the right strategies and a little creativity, it is possible to enjoy a balanced diet while effectively managing these dietary restrictions.

Identifying Allergens and Triggers

The first step in managing food allergies and intolerances is to identify the specific ingredients or foods that trigger adverse reactions. Common allergens include gluten, dairy, nuts, soy, and shellfish, while intolerances may be linked to lactose, fructose, or histamine. By being mindful of these triggers, individuals can make informed choices when selecting and preparing meals.

Adapting Recipes for Special Diets

Adapting recipes to accommodate food allergies or intolerances is essential for maintaining a balanced, plant-based diet. This may involve substituting whole food, organic ingredients for traditional allergens or using specialized alternatives, such as gluten-free flours or non-dairy milk. By experimenting with ingredient swaps and exploring clean eating techniques, individuals can discover a world of delicious and nutritious meal options that align with their dietary needs.
Through a thoughtful and proactive approach, individuals with food allergies or intolerances can navigate the complexities of healthy eating and enjoy a wide variety of whole foods while maintaining their overall well-being.

Clean Eating: Minimizing Processed Foods

In the pursuit of a healthy eating lifestyle, one crucial aspect to consider is the minimization of processed and packaged foods. The clean eating movement emphasizes the importance of consuming whole, minimally processed ingredients to maximize the nutritional value of our meals.

Recognizing Unhealthy Additives

When it comes to clean eating, it's essential to be aware of the common additives and preservatives found in many processed foods. These can include artificial colorings, flavors, and sweeteners, as well as preservatives like sodium nitrite and trans fats. By learning to identify these unhealthy additives, you can make more informed choices and avoid products that may compromise your balanced diet.

Organic and Local Food Options

Incorporating organic and locally sourced whole foods into your healthy eating routine can have numerous benefits. Organic produce and products are typically free from synthetic pesticides and hormones, and they often contain a higher concentration of nutrient-dense compounds. Additionally, supporting local farmers and producers not only reduces your carbon footprint but also provides access to fresh, seasonal offerings that are rich in plant-based goodness.
By prioritizing clean eating and minimizing the consumption of processed foods, you can unlock a world of whole, natural ingredients that nourish your body and support your overall weight management and wellness goals.

Weight Management Through Healthy Eating

Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is an integral part of a balanced healthy eating lifestyle. By understanding the principles of calorie density and macronutrient balance, individuals can make informed choices to support their weight management goals.

Calorie Density and Satiety

The concept of calorie density refers to the number of calories per gram of a particular food. Whole, plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains tend to have a lower calorie density, meaning you can consume a larger volume of these foods without exceeding your daily calorie needs. This can lead to a greater sense of satiety, or feeling full and satisfied, which can support sustainable weight management.

Balancing Macronutrients

In addition to considering calorie density, it's important to focus on balancing the three macronutrients: protein, carbohydrates, and fats. Each macronutrient plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy eating habits and supporting weight management. By incorporating a mix of lean proteins, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats into your meals and snacks, you can help regulate your appetite, stabilize blood sugar levels, and fuel your body with the necessary nutrients for overall well-being.

In this section, we'll explore cost-effective meal planning strategies and highlight affordable whole food options to help you achieve your healthy eating goals without straining your finances.

Cost-Effective Meal Planning

Start by identifying affordable, nutrient-dense ingredients that can be incorporated into a variety of recipes. Batch cooking and freezing portions can also help you maximize your time and money, ensuring you always have healthy options on hand.
Another practical tip is to embrace the versatility of plant-based whole foods. Beans, lentils, and whole grains are not only budget-friendly, but they also provide a wealth of essential nutrients, fiber, and complex carbohydrates to keep you feeling full and energized. By making these nutrient-dense foods the foundation of your meals, you can stretch your grocery budget while nourishing your body.

2024.05.14 00:13 KilluaCute Question for Athletes and bodybuilders in algeria regarding Protein powder.

Is there any reason to use protein powder rather than / alongside natural protein sources? It comes out to around 10 mille dinare par kilou. while chickens comes out to 1850 Da/kg (assuming 1kg of chicken is worth 500 da with 27g of protein/100g), importation red meat comes out to 4600 Da/kg (assuming 1kg of meat is worth 1200 da with 26g of protein/100g) and none importation still comes out cheaper at 9200 (assuming 2400 Da/kg). Meaning Even the most expensive typical source of meat is still cheaper than protein powder, without counting all the other nutritional bits and pieces like minerals, vitamins, variation in amino acids and fat and lipids, and of course the taste that accompanies them. Begging me to ask : why would anyone buy protein powder?
Ps - exception for Creatine since it has a specific biochemical process and is easily supplemented for what can only be reached by excessive and almost unattainable meat comsumption.
Addtional question : wouldn't eggs come out more expensive than chicken as a protein source? assuming 6g of protein per egg and 20Da for each egg. It should take 167 eggs for a kilogram of protein. costing 3340Da/kg. almost double what chicken would cost. Am i doing the math wrong?

2024.05.13 23:47 bubba_169 [H] Games to swap [W] Your unwanted Steam keys and bundle leftovers

If you have any duplicate game keys that you can't find a trade for or if you're not interested in bartering, then this post is for you!
I'm offering a 1 for 1 trade for your unwanted keys. Think of it like a book swap with game keys - take a game you don't already own from the list and leave one of your unwanted keys for the next person. You don't need to offer me a list, just let me know what game you have and what you want to swap for.

Disclaimer - PLEASE READ FIRST

Due to the nature of the post, most of these keys are from previous trades and donations and I have no way to verify them or check for region locks. Even with the best intentions from all sides, mistakes will be made and some of these keys may not work. I'll always send the key first and ask you to redeem before sending me anything to make sure they work for you. If you choose not to redeem as we trade then I won't be held responsible for any future problems as I have given you fair warning.
Please don't re-trade these keys any further since I can't guarantee they will work and I don't know if there are any region locks. I don't want you to be accused of scamming!
So with all that out of the way...

Games Available:

Please only offer games that do not have profile features limited (check the store page) for games in this list. If you want to trade a game with profile features limited, there's a separate list below.

Games with Profile Features Limited

These are games that haven't met minimum sales requirements on Steam. They are often asset flips and incomplete indie games but some can be interesting. Feel free to offer any Steam game key for these.

A Few Rules

Donations

If anyone just wants to donate any keys that are no good to them to the list then I’m always grateful to receive them. Just DM me and I’ll add them. A huge thank you to those that have already donated keys to this project.

Why

I don't do this for profit and don't get much out of it myself. I do keep the occasional game that catches my eye but I already own most of the common bundled games. I see this more as a giveaway that can keep on giving. I want to provide a place for people to find something they can play in return for their unwanted spare keys without the hassle of finding a trade partner interested in the games they have.

2024.05.13 23:38 Worried_Value_648 Asthma? Copd?

Hello! Please, whoever has the patience to read would help me enormously, as I have been suffering for 7 months. Sorry for bad english!!! I'm only 18 years old, I don't want my life to end or be like this. I had my first panic attacks around October 2023. I didn't know how they felt, I had them from calcium drops but they manifested differently. I went to the psychiatrist where I received Serlift 0.5 mg per day, but after 5 weeks I abandoned them because I could hardly tolerate them, I had nausea, constantly dilated pupils, imbalance, etc. On top of that, I also had swallowing difficulties which were quite rare but became more and more frequent. In December, I had already reached the point where I could no longer swallow solid food, and in January (2024) I started not being able to feed myself even with mashed things, purees, etc. I was eating somewhere around 2-3 teaspoons of soup per hour, somewhere around 2 bowls of clear soup. I went to a gastroenterologist where they did a digestive endoscopy, without a biopsy, and there was a wound caused by acid on the esophagus at the bottom, so their diagnosis was reflux + a hiatal hernia. I received treatment with Nexium (one pill in the morning) but I did not feel any improvement. At the same time, I went to the ENT because I felt like I couldn't breathe and they said that I have hypertrophic chronic rhinitis, which doesn't go away, so if it continues like this I will have to have laser surgery, it's quite an easy operation and minimally invasive, but they are worried back the nasal turbinates. The difficulty in swallowing decreased for a while, but it appeared again, stronger that I could not even swallow saliva and water without drowning. I then went to the doctor in Cluj where they redid my endoscopy and manometry. The manometry came out normal, but at the endoscopy, this time with a biopsy, I had reflux esophagitis. I received nexium treatment in the morning and in the evening and in addition to that I also did acupuncture and everything is almost back to normal, I still have a difficulty with bakery products and with seeds, meat. Rather, the problem remained that I feel how it slowly flows down my throat, but it's ok. During the investigations I went to the lungs and the heart. They discovered adult asthma in my lungs (I didn't have asthma as a child but I had many pneumonias) and since then I received treatment with foster and an antihistamine in the evening (Aerius). I felt that I was breathing hard (that I was inhaling hard), but I quickly understood that this is also anxiety, because many times my oxygenation was good. I haven't given up smoking since I have asthma, I've reduced it but now I want to quit because I feel that it's hard to EXPIRE the air outside, or I feel that when I want to inhale, I exhale. Or when I exhale deeply forcefully (because I have to force myself) I feel a pressing pain like a punch between the chest and the neck but rather towards the neck. The therapist said that these are NOT signs of anxiety, but the doctor I go to knows my problems with anxiety and often leaves it to her. I went to the heart because I had low blood pressure, but I also had anemia and that was also a cause (I have a very white face and palms). He said it could be a sinus tachycardia. But more recently, I feel as if my left breast is trembling or aching. The problem with breathing worries me the most, I'm afraid that there might be some hidden pneumonia. I had lung x-rays almost 2 months ago, but then I did NOT have those symptoms. I'm not saying that it's not possible for something to have appeared in such a short time? I keep thinking why do I have these moods? The therapist says that she does NOT think it's anxiety because even in the neurofeedbeek device (the one that measures the stress delta wave) I have low waves after the therapy. I don't want to feel like this anymore, I want to live my life because I don't have any worries or stress. If this time too everything looks good on x-rays and ultrasounds, what tests should I do? What lack of minerals/vitamins or what deficiency can cause such ugly conditions? Note: I think I know how to explain batter. I feel like i keep the CO2 in my lung instead of letting it go out.

What kinda extra add ons do you supplement your tank with? Specifically for caridina: vitamins, minerals, extra micro-organisms/bacteria, tannin leaves, even heard of people putting ascorbic acid or aquarium ph products to lower their ph.
I want to optimize my caridina breeding, my parameters are good and I feed them a balanced diet and they seem to have started breeding- behaviors like chasing but I want to step up my game, thanks.

2024.05.13 22:25 Master_Bicycle7066 Low globulin and vitamin D levels (vitamin D test specifically ordered by new PCP and not sure why)

I’m 29F, 5’5” and 118 lbs. I workout 4-5 times a week and have been a vegan for 9 years. I am generally healthy aside from a drinking problem (I drink 2-4 light beers anywhere from 4-6 days out of the week. I know nothing good can come from it and am actively working on cutting back.)
I got my first blood test in years at an initial check up with my new PCP and everything came back within normal ranges except for:
globulins: 1.8 gm/dL
vitamin D 25-hydroxy: 11.2 NG/mL
It appears that my doctor ordered a vitamin D test specifically as I wasn’t tested for any other vitamin/mineral levels. I may be looking too far into this but Is there a reason why she would specifically order a vitamin D test and are the low globulin and vitamin D levels something to be seriously concerned about? Thank you in advance (:

2024.05.13 22:05 madasfrick Never Had Sun Rash Before

Never Had Sun Rash Before
Never Before Had a Sun Rash
Never before have I ever gotten a rash from the sun, I am 31f and I live in the midwest US.
Some background: I have always liked laying in the sun for vitamin D and to get a tan. When I was younger, I used to lay out in the summertime for an hour or more with sunscreen. Yes, I’m Caucasian but I’m not naturally very pale, so I’ve never burned that easily unless I’m out in the sun for several hours at a time without sunscreen, which has happened maybe two or three times in my life.
Working full-time jobs since being in my early 20s and now having 8yo children, I rarely have that much time to just lay out, but this past weekend I did. I laid out for about an hour and a half, switching half that time between my front side and back side. It was a partially cloudy day, so there was plenty of sunshine but it would occasionally move behind large clouds for small increments of time.
I laid out this past Friday, then Saturday morning noticed what looks like a rash. It’s all over me still today, Monday. It’s on my legs, arms, chest, stomach, sides, and back, but not face.
Am I suddenly allergic to the sun??? Is it a reaction to something I’m taking like supplements or putting on my skin like my tallow body cream? I didn’t put anything on before laying out but I showered Thursday, put on tallow body cream after the shower, and then laid out Friday. I also take some general supplements for daily vitamins/minerals, digestion, and others for when I work out.

2024.05.13 22:05 djeternal How can castor oil and coconut oil be used for hair growth?

How can castor oil and coconut oil be used for hair growth?
Overnight oiling is a common practice and is considered safe and beneficial for most people. Just be sure to protect your pillow with a towel or use a shower cap to avoid staining.
Image from HairPlans.com - used with permission.
For promoting hair growth, both castor oil and coconut oil are popular hair oil choices. Here’s how you can use them effectively and some additional tips:
Optimal Time for Castor and Coconut Oil
  1. Duration: Both oils can be left in the hair for a few hours to overnight, depending on your routine. Leaving these oils in your hair overnight allows more time for the oils to penetrate deeply into the scalp and hair, maximizing their nourishing benefits.
  2. Application: Apply the oil to your scalp and hair. For castor oil, which is quite thick, you might want to dilute it with a lighter oil (like coconut oil) to make it easier to spread and rinse out. Coconut oil is generally lighter but can still be heavy for some hair types, so adjust the amount based on how your hair responds.
  3. Heat: Applying mild heat (like a warm towel wrapped around your head) can enhance oil penetration, making the treatment even more effective.
Frequency
  • Regular Use: For best results, applying these oils once or twice a week can be beneficial. However, the frequency can depend on your hair type and how well your hair and scalp absorb and respond to oils.
Additional Tips for Hair Growth
  1. Scalp Massage: Regular scalp massages can stimulate blood circulation and enhance the strength of your roots. Doing this during oil treatments can increase effectiveness.
  2. Avoid Over-Washing and Heat Styling: Reducing the frequency of hair washing and minimizing the use of heat styling tools can help maintain natural scalp oils and prevent hair damage.
  3. Hair Masks: Use protein or moisture-rich hair masks once a week to help nourish and strengthen hair. Ingredients like egg, avocado, and yogurt are popular for homemade masks.
  4. Minimize Stress: High stress levels can contribute to hair loss. Engaging in stress-reducing activities like yoga, meditation, or regular exercise can have positive effects on your hair health.
  5. Balanced Diet: Ensure your diet is rich in vitamins and minerals that support hair health. Vitamins A, C, D, E, zinc, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids are particularly important.
As always, individual results can vary, and what works best generally depends on your specific hair type and condition.
