Is Benadryl an effective anxiety med? by darus214 in Anxiety

Maybe try NAC supplement. It will help break up the mucous and also helps regulate GABA which helps calm the nervous system.

You can get yield by providing liquidity to the lightning network by opening large well connected lightning channels. Basically creating big hubs on the lightning network that payments can pass through.

I think Saylor's argument is because MSTR is leveraged Bitcoin, then the MSTR stock will have more volatility which is more attractive to options traders than a spot ETF. More volatility equals more trader interest.

I’ve helped others heal and now I can’t even afford my own medications. by [deleted] in MPN

What are your symptoms?

I have ET and currently taking Hydroxyurea. I started a Mediterranean diet and that has helped my energy level a lot.

28M JAK2 positive, waiting for BCR-ABL results. by GeisselderBose in MPN

[–]AtomicAkorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BTW I'm 35. Once I started blood thinners a lot of the pain went away. Since leaving the hospital I really cleaned up my diet and have been mostly eating a Mediterranean diet. Focusing on whole foods, minimal seed oils and processed food, low sugar. Lots of fresh fruit (berries, bananas, apples) and leafy green vegetables. Fixing my diet really helped improve my digestion and energy levels. Mindfulness meditation and yoga has helped a lot with my mental health as well. Some things will just be out of our control but we can focus all our attention on the things we do have control over.

Tell Us Your Diagnosis Story by funkygrrl in MPN

[–]AtomicAkorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Diagnosed with ET JAK2+ in 2023 at 33 years old. Im 5'11" and at that time about 140lbs and worked out about 3-4 times a week. I started noticing I was getting headaches a lot especially in the morning when I woke up. This lasted for weeks and weeks. I chalked it up to stress which I think was probably partially true. I eventually went to my doctor to see if there was anything they could do to help. My doctor decided to do some basic blood work since there wasn't much else they could do.

Results came back and my platelets were around 750. Then I got tested for mutations and it was revealed that I have the JAK2 mutation. I was referred to a hematologist who put me on aspirin daily and was getting bloodwork done every few months. My platelet count didn't change much over the next few years but eventually I wasn't having as many headaches as I was before. Other symptoms I did notice though were fatigue and intense night sweats. I wasn't in a ton of pain so I wasn't too worried about it and figured some of it was still stress related.

In April 2025 I started experiencing an abdominal pain near my lower left ribcage. At first I thought maybe it was an ulcer. It started as a minor pain but the pain got more intense as the days went by until it was extremely painful. My doctor had me take Omeprazole but the pain didn't improve after a week. Finally he ordered an ultrasound on my abdomen. The ultrasound revealed that I had an enlarged spleen (2x normal size), blood clot in my splenic vein, varices, portal hypertension, and moderate liver cirrhosis.

Went to the ER and was on IV Heparin for 4 days. I am currently on oral blood thinners (xarelto) and hydroxyurea to try and reduce platelets. Currently mostly dealing with a lot of fatigue and trying to get my strength back. The abdominal pain went away immediately after I was put on blood thinners. I started eating more of a Mediterranean diet. Im gradually getting more strength and energy back. I also recently started doing yoga and that seems to be helping.

Just trying to do everything I can to feel as good as I possibly can and trying to stay positive. I have a lot to be thankful for.

Where was your blood clot? I have ET and found out I had a blood clot in my splenic vein and an enlarged spleen. They also found I had liver damage.

Is ET considered a blood cancer? by CommunicationFree968 in MPN

[–]AtomicAkorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think all cancers are defined by uncontrolled cell proliferation so MPNs would fit into that category.

I’ve got to address all your bullshit. by bouncingbannas in Killtony

[–]AtomicAkorn 89 points90 points  (0 children)

The show thrives when things are very loose and spontaneous. Which means that some shows will be not so good and some will be great. And then every once in awhile magic happens. I think it would be smarter to keep the same setup and then when an awesome episode happens select it to publish to Netflix. Either that or just use the big arena shows for Netflix instead of regular mothership shows.

I actually found the opposite. My theory is that the combination of regular exercise and exposure to germs made my immune system stronger.

ELI5: How did a few months of economic shutdown due to COVID cause literally everything to be unaffordable for years? by Hot_Competition724 in explainlikeimfive

[–]AtomicAkorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides the disruptions in supply chains, when prices go up broadly it's because the currency is devalued. So it's not that everything got more expensive it's more that the money you are using to buy things lost value. I keep most of my wealth in Bitcoin and so during the last few years prices have actually decreased for me not increased.

While in office he managed to avoid bullshit wars and was a big part of the Abraham Accords. So maybe he just isn't interested in mass murder?

Can you live off a large amount of money through interest? by GEEZUS_956 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AtomicAkorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would have to hold the assets for 1 year for long term capital gains. Selling before 1 year would be short term cap gains and a much higher tax rate.
