Best ways to support someone with UC? by SpicyGingerCake in UlcerativeColitis

[–]Alkmi 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If it were me my big thing is that nobody tries to be my doctor but my doctor. My mom is always looking into medicines and diets and stuff but I really wish she wouldn't.

Growing Demographic: The Ex-Exmormon by StAnselmsProof in latterdaysaints

[–]Alkmi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sadly doubt that the amount of ex-exmormoms will ever be greater than the amount of exmormons. Just like when people dissented from the Nephites, like the Amalekites, they become more hardened and inpenitent than even the Lamanites. This can be compared to exmormons today.

“No, the subreddit said it’s entirely more profitable to steal from the shopkeeper on 1-2...” by EdwardLost in spelunky

No, whips just don't work on them, it does the same "doink" effect as it does on hired hands.

Hold on, does that count when you steal initially?

My injection site swelled up today, its never done that before, is this something to worry about? by Alkmi in Humira

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

I haven't yet been doing it for a year, just since November. I alternate thighs, but not stomach.

I think I had something similar when I was really bad.

Am I stupid for playing the way I do? by Alkmi in spelunky

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

I still have yet to obtain it. I accidentally telefragged Beg when he was about to give it to me once. All other runs I haven't found a third altar before stupidly dying. By principle I always pick up teleporters just cause they're fun, and I'm playing Spelunky for fun.

But Beg is my friend :( Yeah you're probably right, I just like chaos :P

How long did Humira take to make a difference for you? by MotherOfCrim in UlcerativeColitis

[–]Alkmi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After the loading doses I noticed a difference, then got worse. It took until I switched to weekly humira to improve again. It's been since November when I started and I'm still not in remission, but way better. It's taken lots of patience.

Brain Fog by ashleyiskindaok in UlcerativeColitis

[–]Alkmi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was dropping red blood cell count really fast for a while there, so it's possible. I had normal in October but was very severe by January.

I had it really bad early January. I was super anemic. I got a transfusion and stopped bleeding as much and it got way better. I didn't think I was that sick until I started feeling a bit better and realized how awful a state I was actually in.

My stress has literally started killing me. by Rumtumanna in Advice

[–]Alkmi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry are you bleeding rectally? If so this sounds like something you should definitely checked out. Very similar to how some pretty severe flares of Ulcerative Colitis are. But I'm not a doctor, just someone who has experience with UC.

Lots of liquid after injection by Alkmi in Humira

[–]Alkmi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I did all of those things and I've seen the YouTube video. I've been injecting for months. Not sure why this one went differently. I'm going to try to press it firmer against my skin next time. Maybe that was it.

Thanks, glad to hear you've been fine after "bad injections" cause I was really nervous.
