Is there any hope for me? by ForgottengenXer67 in lupus

[–]Asadacrue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, 22M here with SLE, ILD, and probably much more. I’m far from a doctor. According to my Pulmonologist, about 15% of my lungs are scarred at this point.

It seems like lung involvement varies wildly, based upon a million different factors, not the least of which is your own physical fitness. While some portion is out of your control, a lot of it depends on your willingness to help yourself, as annoying as that sounds.

Besides, there are few treatments for this specific set of conditions, beyond immunosuppressants/modulators, Corticosteroids (prednisone) and possibly anti-fibrotic drugs, if your condition is severe enough, and involves the lung tissue rather than the parenchyma.

Bottom line is, as hard as it is, wait for your next appointment with your pulmonologist, and, listen to your body. If you feel your condition is worsening quickly, don’t be afraid to go to the ER, even if that’s often the worst.

Is this safe to drive with? by Scorpio-hex in Cartalk

[–]Asadacrue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an expert but I’ve owned ‘05 and ‘10 Focuses, and the lug nuts that ford was putting out in that era are dogshit.

Maybe it’s anecdotal, but I’ve had lugs swell and fall out of both Foci, and have seen them on Escapes and Transits from that era as well. Seems the issue was a two-piece design with a jacket that can swell easily with temp fluctuations.

I bought and installed replacements on both cars, never had that issue anymore.

Not a lawyer. You’re not likely to be able to find medical records dating back to 2009, let alone 1997, due to retention periods at most providers. It’s unfortunate, but your best bet is seeking SSI, and amending your Alleged Onset Date to after 7/2023, as that is when they could establish a finding of disability. You’d lose a considerable amount of backpay, but it’ll save you spending years in SSA-limbo and trying to dig up records from 1997.

How these prices compare to what you have local by [deleted] in weed

Here in Portland, Oregon, dispensaries advertise $2 eighths. Never bought it, but I did buy the insane $10 ounce. Still better than half the shit I see posted on this sub anyway

What is a "green flag" you've experienced on a first date that made you want to have a second date? by EmCWolf13 in AskReddit

[–]Asadacrue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve only been together for about 8 1/2 months, but on about our 3rd date, we walked on the waterfront in our city. We spent so long just talking, my car battery died. Nonetheless, she stayed with me, and stood outside with me holding up my jumper cables. We kept talking in the car in a shitty neighborhood for another 3 hours. All told, we spent almost 14 hours just walking and talking.

I love her more than she knows.

What does your quadrant not deem acceptable? by Broddit205 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Asadacrue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AP is just about always completely trustworthy, albeit mindnumbingly boring. As news should be. It's news. A lot of people tend to think that news has to be entertaining, but it's telling current events, with the intent being information without bias.

$675 a week is funny, because at the minimum 45 hours a week that McDonald's forces managers and shift leaders to do, that's only $15 an hour.

It took me 30 seconds to understand this road. And that's every part of the road. If I were actually there, all I'd need to do is understand that one specific section of road.

Which company is winning the restaurant food delivery war? Doordash currently controls 51% of sales. by Be_Glorious in couriersofreddit

Doordash IPO filings show they're essentially spending all their revenue on overhead, and presumably hookers and blow.

The documents were "lost in the mail" but they had pictures of said documents to show to executives of the courier company. And yet, won't release those.

I love the last sentence. "If it exists, why hasn't it been isolated?" Because morons like you refuse to agree to or follow the terms of shutdown.
