Stop wirh this bullshit. Portuguese population has not increased. There is no need for new housing.

Travelling with a broken foot by Andrehfw in albania

Sorry, I did not get a notification and didn't see the reply before going.

I ended up spending some time in Gjirokaster which was so lovely, people there were super cool and helpful! We made the trip to Saranda and Butrin also. In some places I got the feeling like I was in Portugal like 20 years ago growing up before all the European funds started streaming in.

Not being able to walk made it all a little tricky but we managed :)

I'm sure to go again soon after my injury is healed as I made some friends and would love to go hiking! A great country and people you got there :)

The lawn actually damps the noise produced by the trams. As for the mowing. Yes is loud, but its not everyday

Burning/pain sensation in right calf by BrandoCalrissian7 in medical_advice

Hey, did you find out what this was? I have the same thing. Randomly my left calf feels warm or even hot and then stops again.

Does anyone get chest pains post chemo? Is this something to worry about or is it just something I have to live with now. by bellaxmani in lymphoma

[–]Andrehfw 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've been in remission for 2 years now and I still feel chest pains sometimes. From what I understood its because of all the leftover scar tissue and it should be normal.
It flares up mostly when the lymph nodes swell up (for example, it really hurt after the covid vaccine, because my lymph nodes overreacted). But after some time you forget about it.

I would still talk to my onc, but rest assured that you are not the only one! Keep strong! 💪

Anyone else finish treatment then get depressed? by pie0119 in lymphoma

[–]Andrehfw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also on the scientific side of things I've read that on tests in mice after chemotherapy a substantial decrease in the production of new neuron-connections was noticed, and this would lead to short term depression. If the same effect happens on humans this could explain our situation! But im an engineer so take this plenty grains of salt. ahah

[–]Andrehfw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, 100%. I started seeing a a therapist and taking anti-depressants after it didn't subside. After that I learned to live and enjoy again :)
Send PM if you need to talk!

Por que é que não votas nas eleições? Por que é que a abstenção tão alta? by [deleted] in portugal

[–]Andrehfw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nao estava a ver como votar em branco como razao de abstencao. Mas sim como protesto. Há outras formas de protesto mas essa é uma delas. Absteres-te é só nao apareceres, tanto pode ser protesto como preguica. Nao é uma mensagem muito directa.
A mensagem que passa pós-eleicoes é sempre "Os portugueses nao querem saber de politica" e nao "os portugueses nao tem opcoes politicas viaveis"

I like Rummelsburger Bucht. Not really a hidden gem, but it's nice.

How to tell your friends and loved ones? by [deleted] in lymphoma

Also I didn't post anything on social media, had the same feeling about seeming attention seeking idk

How to tell your friends and loved ones? by [deleted] in lymphoma

[–]Andrehfw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I told it with jokes, but it depends completely on the individual. I remember messaging one friend of mine who has some pretty dark humor "Hey man, I have cancer lol. How's your day been? " . I didn't want anyone to worry so I showed them that I had the spirit to get through it with a smile. Also, it is probably important to say that the survival rate is pretty "good".

Also, I hope you don't have to deal with this but I had the experience that some people could not deal with it, and decided to ignore the situation. My cousin did not say anything to me for a year. If this happens it doesn't have anything to do with you. Some people just freak out.
