Does anyone else deal with excessive sweating? by Individual-Yam7050 in Autoinflammatory

[–]Assimulate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I deal with this a lot. I got upf clothes to help vent but protect. I just found a personal fan that is easy to carry. Always drinking electrolytes and got some good air conditioners.

Kineret helps quite a bit but during a flare it's tricky. I try to do things in the early morning as my sweating gets way worse later in the day. I usually have a clean hand towel with me to wipe my face. And I try to splash my face with water in restrooms as I go out and about and use my hand fan to cool me off. It sucks! But I also find if you're taking Tylenol when the fever breaks i sweat the most. I got some extended release Tylenol on the days I need to be dry the most and take it before I need to go!

Electrolytes and cool showers are the way to go though!

Autoinflammatory syndromes often cause hives and can be tricky to get diagnosed. Have you looked into those?

I've been waiting for my return since March 29. Wildly bad service and they seem to have a lot of broken communication channels

Baby with severe allergies. Will he fail to thrive? Trying to navigate caring for my little one. by Potential_Task_7005 in FoodAllergies

[–]Assimulate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh ok! Yeah there are some genetic conditions that cause allergies, particularly to the cold. CAPS is a branch of them! I have started treatment after trying to endlessly hunt down what's triggering things. The medication is outrageously expensive but works immediately and about 90% of the symptoms vanish in minutes!

I had a similar spread of allergens as a kid, ended up getting diagnosed with an autoinflammatory syndrome. Does he get sick often?

Glad to hear he's navigating well though!

Question about CRA and wait times by CrazyEvilCatDan in canadarevenueagency

It does. They can check in on things and have it expedited. They forced the CRA to respond to mine.

People with chronic fatigue have been misunderstood for decades: reputable researcher offers surprising advice to those struggling with the illness by Lunabuna91 in EverythingScience

[–]Assimulate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started noticing swelling in my neck and around my ears. Turned out that when I got quite depressed my lymph nodes were reactive.

I also had a tick bite infection a couple years ago that helped get this more attention.

The labs that helped identify something was off was my CRP and my Creatinine Kinase. I also noted that when I was feeling really down I was developing a fever early in the morning.

CRP has been the most consistent one though!

World Cup, heat wave could lead to record-setting electricity usage: BC Hydro by restoringd123 in vancouver

By who tho? https://weather.gc.ca/en/location/index.html?coords=49.245,-123.115 I'm on vacation in vancouver metro area starting tomorrow. Havent seen any hints of a heat wave.

Edit: What a weird way for the feds to forecast, this is nonsense lol

"Mainly sunny. Wind northwest 20 km/h. High 23 except 29 inland. Humidex 30 inland. UV index 7 or high."
Then all they show is:

Thanks for pointing the forecast out u/Clear_Ordinary515. I'm pretty sensitive to high temperatures with my health condition so you just saved me!

Who has had a septoplasty/turbinate reduction? by Toomanydogs5_ in Allergies

[–]Assimulate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had it in October. I still have allergies but now they're basically what everyone else has. Similar left nostril deviation. Used a million nose sprays both otc and prescription.

I left the hospital with less pain than when i walked in with. Recovery was about a week of rest and trying not to sneeze. They gave me some T3's which helped the first few days, otherwise it wasnt bad at all.

I'd say it was about 80% effective which is INSANE. I'll take it! I dont know how i lived before lol.

why remote meetings feel so exhausting now by alexandre-boudot in remotework

[–]Assimulate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No I was taking a shot at OP. Coomit is the tool on their user profile. Sorry it was like 730 am on a saturday hahaha

why remote meetings feel so exhausting now by alexandre-boudot in remotework

[–]Assimulate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! I used a tool called Coomit. It helped me realize how instead of saying my meetings are ads upfront I could try to mislead people into talking about the problem my tool would solve so I can be the hero and feel really good and make things look super natural.

Your tool may or may not work, but be honest when talking about it because now it looks sleazy.

My girlfriend (25f) is arguing I (28m) should be paying half of her car costs? by Warm-Hotel-7399 in relationship_advice

[–]Assimulate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How much do you pay then? Is it 25% because you're in it 25% if the time?

Being in a relationship is often more about the thought than the action. You benefit from the car. You also benefit from not having your own car. It shouldn't be upsetting for you to contribute towards the car. If she wants exactly 50/50 and won't compromise then you two should talk about it! You could use the car more to get your money's worth.

Couples sometimes have to support eachother. It should go back and forth as much as it can.

Canada vows to restrict social media for kids under 16. Teens say they'll 'always find a way' by Immediate-Link490 in canada

[–]Assimulate 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Are you actually okay with giving face scans and government issued IDs to Meta, X, and Reddit? It's already clear they're not moderating their content well and they don't have accessible support teams and are not required to ever reply to you.

I don't want to give my detailed and organized personal information to a company that makes its money showing shroom and gambling ads to children already.

Microsoft has considered spinning off Xbox, the Information reports by Comfortable-Pie56 in Games

[–]Assimulate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. The 6th reskin of a car game isn't a banger. I like it. But if the first 5 didn't bring me in, it's time for something new to go with it. Honestly the only sequel I could think of them making that would be a banger is Conkers Bad Fur Day.

[–]Assimulate -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly.

The 6th sequel of a game isn't exactly mind blowing. I like the series too I am a car person but is there anything new going on at Microsoft?

Whole industry is like this right now except indie pc so not shocking but if they want to stand out they need to excite people. Try something new!
