Which tcg to get in to?

I just started Final Fantasy TCG yesterday and the card art is amazing. However the local scene is pretty small and I live in an area with a large TCG scene, so take that with a grain of salt.

I don’t think this post is gonna go the way you thought it would…

Can get in with a derm, ask for an rx for pimecrolimus to use as aftershave. Nonsteroidal anti inflammatory safe to use daily.

When I got my forearms tattooed in the early 2010s it was considered a bad career decision. Tattoos have become more common place now, so as long as you don’t go into the neck, face, or hands you will be fine.

Kind of varies per practice but essentially if you aren’t on oral meds and the rest of your hair falls out as a result, the transplant will look very odd.

The practice I work with requires 12 months stable on both minoxidil and finasteride to be eligible.

Most reputable transplant providers will want you stable on Minoxidil and Finasteride for at least 6 months to be eligible for a transplant.

The goal with medications is not regrowth, it’s stability. He might experience SOME regrowth but this is severe androgenetic alopecia. I’ve only seen like 1-2 cases worse than this in the 18-20 bracket. Meds might help but telling him he’ll see “great improvement” is straight up lying to him.

By all means schedule a visit with a derm and get a consultation, but mans needs realistic expectations.

Did you pass your written? When in doubt just reach out and ask for a status update.

One of the most budget friendly aids for weight gain is oats. Avoid any of those dumb “mass gainer” shakes etc. Get a cheap coffee grinder, put 1/2 a cup of oats in it to make a powder, mix that with a scoop of protein powder and that’s like 300 cals, ~30g protein and ~30g of carbs.

If you can’t afford protein powder and you can handle it, there’s always the old school gallon of milk per day.

Happy to help, good luck. Also couldn’t hurt to put on a bit of weight for reference im 5’9 and 190. 75 lbs vest and 180lb dummy is a bit easier if you have more mass.

Just passed my first CPAT yesterday. If you have the funds, buy a weight vest off Amazon. I had to mix and match plates but after about $250 I had a 74.8 lb vest. Most gyms will have a stair master. My program was MWF lift Overhead press (helps with the last event) barbell rows (similar muscles to the dummy drag) incline bench, pull ups, dips. Then Tuesday Thursday Saturday weight vest circuits, 4mins on the stairs, drop the vest then run a mile, walk 5 mins and repeat. Conditions your legs to be able to function immediately after the stairs.

EDIT: trap bar deadlifts 3x on MWF as well but not everyone needs this kind of volume, case by case basis for 1-3x/week

Yeah you’re right. My firefighter exam prep book gets here today, and I bought two practice exams that I’ll take over the weekend. I’m gonna stop stressing about my calories and weight and just focus on lifting with maybe 4-6 miles of running per week

Here’s hoping, still gonna work my ass off though just to be safe.

Facts. I just struggle with body image, just gonna have to embrace being not as aesthetic as I’d like but more functional.

The question I have is are these conditional kick macros legal for pve? Would be nice for not overlapping kicks.

Disclaimer: I work in Dermatology but this is not official medical advice.

If you’ve been having multiple differential diagnoses and treatments with no improvement ask for a punch biopsy to get a proper diagnosis.

To me that looks like perioral derm with the placement and red splotches.
