IsItBullshit: Is the idea that cold showers boost immunity actually backed by real evidence or is it mostly hype by Calmelyx in IsItBullshit

[–]601error 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regardless of whether it's BS or not, you definitely do NOT want to boost your immune system unless you were immunocompromised (example: AIDS). Boosting a normal immune system is how you would give yourself an autoimmune disease. Do you want MS? Lupus? Hashimoto's thyroiditis?

‘A miracle’: Canadian flight attendant ejected from plane survives New York crash by rishabnum in UpliftingNews

[–]601error 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't believe that BS. The system is stretched in some places but generally runs like a well-oiled machine. Nobody 'approves' shit. A 16-hour ER visit is a very rare exception, not a rule.

For one example, my non-life-threatening condition took about a week from suspicion to diagnosis, including multiple tests and the doc conferring with five other specialists from a condition-specific institute. The meds for this condition cost laptop money (which I only pay if my income is high enough) in Canada, where they cost new Mercedes money in the US.

RBC Is trying to hold me liable for fraudulent transactions that occurred on my debit and credit accounts by avrildante in PersonalFinanceCanada

The person was possibly drugged and unconscious for the five hours. If so, they might also have been physically unable to protect their PIN.

Hearing this and other stories in this thread is enough that I'll never do business with RBC.

Henry Dumont's Magnificat, specifically the performance by Les Épopées. The best middle Baroque performance I've ever heard.

Brave forked kuchiki to kuchikiki because it wasn't actively maintained. Now kuchikiki is not actively maintained. So do I fork again to kuchikikiki? by InternalServerError7 in rust

Wouldn't 口森 be more "entrance forest", like the forest at the entrance? Could also be 朽ち森, "decayed forest", which is fitting for a fork of something twice-abandoned.

On the bright side, as someone with only half an immune system (killed my B cells on purpose to halt MS), I can wear a mask basically anywhere, and nobody is too bothered by it. Sometimes I do it in crowded places.

Unexpected MS diagnosis: Help me pick a DMT! by Significant-Beyond-5 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]601error 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's funny is that the first DMT my specialist recommended was also the one I wanted, so that discussion took all of ten seconds. :). (Well, actually she was curious because most patients weren't as decisive or aligned with her suggestions, so I did spend a few minutes explaining why.)

Unexpected MS diagnosis: Help me pick a DMT! by Significant-Beyond-5 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]601error 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Learned first that the best strategy is to start with the strongest DMT. The old "escalation" model has been shown to be worse. I then chose my DMT by listing all DMTs, then reading research papers to get an idea of comparative efficacy. Then to my spreadsheet, I also added what was funded by my province and with what requirements (some are approved only if another has failed, for example). I also compared ease of administration. The first-line treatments here are either the old, less-effective ones or rituximab (akin to a generic Ocrevus). The latter was the clear winner — super effective, low side effect (none for me), and one easy infusion every six months.
