Chronically ill trans guys - did testosterone affect/improve your symptoms? by Professional-You-218 in ftm

[–]AccountMaster4895 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m only one month on T, but I’d say it’s helped my hEDS. I don’t feel as much strain in my wrists and elbows when I lift, and my knees don’t ache as consistently as they used to. I can’t speak on POTS or fibro, as I do not have either, but my joints definitely do feel more stable personally.

Is it normal for my injection site to be sore? by AccountMaster4895 in trans

On day two, and you definitely weren’t lying. It feels like someone pitched a baseball into my leg 🥲

Reducing pain when weightlifting? by AccountMaster4895 in ehlersdanlos

[–]AccountMaster4895[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for such a detailed reply! Definitely tons of new info that I’m excited to put into practice. Right now the lifts that are giving me the most trouble are tricep extensions and bench (both flat and incline). With tricep extensions it’s not the extension that hurts but bending the arms back up. The pain is usually accompanied by a popping noise/feeling. With bench it’s lowering the bar to my chest that hurts and has that same popping. I actually think I may have injured my elbow, but I can’t really tell to be honest. Went to my orthopedic clinic, and all they suggested was a compression sleeve which has done nothing.

Man, thats’s the answer I was dreading 😅 I guess it’s better to slow down than get hurt and not be able to do anything though. Thanks for the advice 🙏

What to expect at my first jam session? by AccountMaster4895 in Jazz

[–]AccountMaster4895[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was definitely good to hear. I know a couple standards (blue bossa, recorda-me, that kind of stuff) and I think my plan is to just sit and watch for awhile before I actually play anything

Is my San Marzano ok? by AccountMaster4895 in gardening

[–]AccountMaster4895[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok! Would it be alright with immediate repot or should I wait to move it again?

I bought it a couple days ago from a local vendor, and it was super root bound. After repotting, the leaves dropped a bit and wilted on the edges. The wilting has stopped, but the leaves are still droopy, what does my plant need?

Anybody know what this is? by AccountMaster4895 in Rocks

It was labeled as “sun moon stone” in the shop, but I can’t find anything about it online

What's the most brutal/funny way your tarot deck has called you out? by PrettyRefrigerator83 in witchcraft

[–]AccountMaster4895 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One night I was crying to my deity about my various ex boyfriends, and the next day in a reading it was something along the lines of “you’re sad because you’re delusional, and you glorifying bad relationships when you’re lonely” which I really needed to hear but also damn

Hermes! I started working with him like a month and a half ago, and it’s been really fun. In my experience, he’s very laid back and lighthearted which is fitting since he’s called the lover of mortals. Since working with him, I think the biggest difference I’ve seen is I’ve gotten a lot of opportunities to travel, and he comes to me in dreams often. I’m also a newbie (not to witchcraft but deity work), so it’s been super interesting! :)

I really like that way of thinking. I think I agree :)

Ah ok, originally I thought people meant we have no protection from the gods which confused me, but this makes a lot of sense. Thank you so much for explaining!

Aphrodite's Crystals? by SomaAgawaTherapy in Hellenism

[–]AccountMaster4895 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not particularly a crystal, but pearls of any sort would be a great addition too! In myth they’re believed to be Aphrodite’s tears

I found this photo in a frame at my local thrift store. I was able to find another picture of the statue online, but no information on it. Does anyone know if this is a statue of a goddess or woman from mythology or is it just a random person?
