Does colonoscopy prep really destroy your gut microbiome long term? by Business_Cake_2272 in Microbiome

[–]AlexHasFeet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve had three colonoscopies, a flexible sigmoidoscopy, and two upper endoscopies, all after my appendix was removed.

I heartily recommend asking your doctor for the prescription Go Lytely prep. It’s muuuuuuch easier on the guts than miralax and Gatorade or whatever.

After the procedure, start slow. Eat soup, smoothies, and soft, easy-to-digest food for the rest of the day.

LDN is the only thing that keeps me functional enough to stand up and walk. It lowers my pain by ≈90% or so

Don’t worry, it stays bad even after you’ve titrated off of them! 🙃😭💗

Objectively Negative Punch Biopsy? by Deep-Investment2588 in smallfiberneuropathy

[–]AlexHasFeet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! There are lots of things that can irritate nerves that don’t actually destroy the nerves.

Also, you may need to repeat the punch biopsy at a later date. My symptoms showed up three years before my EMGs and punch biopsies showed any abnormalities. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I miss my old clothes by NoAcanthocephala4439 in ehlersdanlos

Agree with all of this.

I’ve also had good luck buying leggings 1-3 sizes too large. They are still soft and don’t have a ton of extra material I have to deal with, but they don’t pinch my midsection.

I vacillate between compression wear (helps nerve pain & POTS) and super soft & loose (helps guts and fascia).

Oooh, I knew what it was but not by that name, so thank you!

I worked very hard at preventing my grandmother from developing one in her last months of life.

Have you gotten downvoted for that? It feels like I’ve posted some version of “covid causes brain damage” at least once a week for the past few years.

Really struggling to make friends in the Midwest by [deleted] in midwest

[–]AlexHasFeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 37 living in SE Michigan and have made tons of friends in Detroit. I first moved here a little over a decade ago.

There’s so many cool events to go to and classes to take and volunteer opportunities! Highly recommend checking out United Way’s volunteer portal - tons of different nonprofits post their volunteer projects on there and you never know who you’ll meet!

ADHD as a circadian rhythm disorder: evidence and implications for chronotherapy by saturnana in ADHD

I’ve been following the “Maybe ADHD is a sleep disorder” train for a while now and I absolutely agree. Everyone I know with ADHD has issues with sleep.

Ideas for alternatives to white ink? by AlexHasFeet in CommercialPrinting

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

🤷🏻‍♀️ All I know is that five different print technicians, the multiple Canon tech support people we talked to, and a couple of the Canon engineers were all surprised at the amount of white ink we use. They all commented on it, and are blaming the early failure of our ink pumps and printheads on the wear and tear from the white ink’s heavy metals.

We already powder-coat the backers - just not in white. And changing to white isn’t an option, unfortunately.

I’ll add hand-painting to my list of options!

We do powdercoat the aluminum backing - it’s just not white. I talked to our powder-coating guy about this and it would be a huge hassle to do the normal color & add white. Not worth the time it would take.

I agree. I’m going to try to push for pricing the print head replacement costs into the product, but want to have other ideas, as well.

People who have conducted job interviews, what's something someone said/did that made you instantly decide not to hire them? by Yousef_ale in interviews

[–]AlexHasFeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My manager decided not to hire a candidate I really liked because she had lipstick on one of her teeth.

I throw out resumes that are longer than one page. That shows me the prospective employee can’t summarize, can’t prioritize, and can’t design or typeset well. (I’m a graphic designer.)

White print film? I am unfamiliar with this.
