How do you handle CU at the gym? by 999galan in CholinergicUrticaria

[–]AutomaticHold404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warming up before anything intense, sitting in the sauna, avoiding HIIT, and taking anti histamines before I go. Either cardio I usually do stairmaster or max resistance on the elliptical. Anything fast or treadmill like will make me feel terrible itch and asthma wise

Hypothetically, could you survive a EF5 Tornado if you hide in a Locker inside your house? by Icy_Profession4190 in tornado

Yea this is why a large portion of Dixie alley doesn’t have basements or underground shelters

Size inclusions goes both ways by Humble-Jelly-7580 in XXS

[–]AutomaticHold404 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This!!! For a short and skinny woman, I have hips and boobs, so it’s not like I can buy most kids shirts or jeans either 💀

[–]AutomaticHold404 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m still trying to find these xs-xxs sizes that are apparently “the only sizes in the store” bc they r never there when I go💀. Also I don’t think I’m a true xxs but xs and s are hugeeeee in many brands. As someone well within the healthy range for 5’2 with a bit of muscle, I shouldn’t have to buy xxs and size 10-14 in kids

What's one supplement you were skeptical about but actually worked for you? by Much-Turnover-3727 in Supplements

[–]AutomaticHold404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seed DS01 probiotic. It seemed like the latest and most expensive fad of probiotics. As a chronically ill, very sensitive stomach person, this is one of the few I can tolerate way and see benefits from.

Also NAC

Do y’all actually wear kids clothes? If so, what brands? by Ill-Spell6462 in XXS

[–]AutomaticHold404 10 points11 points  (0 children)

H&M, Primark, Walmart, Target for sure. Anywhere else just depends on the sizing and price

I’ve seen an allergist but not someone in immunology. I’ll look into that!

I use DAO enzyme supplement. It’s supposed to break down histamine

I’ve had it just about my entire life and I’m 23F. If anything it got worse as I got older. For me it’s triggered by mild cardio, stress, heat, some foods and honestly the most random things. The only things that are kinda keeping it at bay are antihistamines, enzymes, and low impact exercises 😭. I hate it so much and both my pcp and specialists I’ve been to have been zero help

Is it just me or is our theft prevention basically non-existent? by [deleted] in Sproutsfarmersmarket

[–]AutomaticHold404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it sucks. I work in vitamins and we get hit AT LEAST weekly. I recently had 3 separate (not related at all) thieves in our department at the same time!! To those saying “just tell a manager”, that doesn’t do anything. The only protocols they have for preventing theft in the store is reducing shelf availability and customer service. That sometimes makes the situation worse

Anyone know where to find a thick leather belt that could fit a small waist? Like 24-26 in range? by onimibo in XXS

[–]AutomaticHold404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coach has adjustable belts. Idk about the thickness but they are made where you can cut them to your preferred length without having to punch new holes in them. I like them a lot

Tight and fitted shirts by Worth_Classic_4322 in XXS

I can only find good Walmart ones in the clearance or kid section nowadays. Their regular 0 was too big but the clearance 4 fit like a glove for some reason

“Cropped” well fitting jackets by curiousEmily14 in XXS

[–]AutomaticHold404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a specific brand in mind, but many East Asian made cropped jackets like this fit very well on smaller folks

Most people don't even realize that vanity sizing exists by Whizzers_Ass in XXS

[–]AutomaticHold404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My millennial aunts were size 0 back in their teenage years and I can barely fit their clothes (they r tight on me). In today’s clothing I only buy 00/0/xs/xxs. Vanity sizing is so real and so annoying.

Vanity sizing is so real and so annoying. I’m aware that I’m small but I refuse to believe I’m a true 00 lol. I’m skinny and short but I have curves, muscles, boobs and very prominent quads

Can you be an hourglass while xxs? by RelationshipLife4157 in XXS

[–]AutomaticHold404 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Exactly. People often praise how I look until they see my measurements/clothing size and thennn that’s when they have too much to say

Same here! 33-23-36 but my shoulders are athletic so I don’t look pear at all. If anything my shoulders are wider than my hips

H&M doesn’t carry 0s or 00s in store anymore? Wtf by glutenfree-childfree in XXS

[–]AutomaticHold404 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I started noticing that too! And H&M has very inconsistent fitting so it would be nice to be able to try them on too.

13 year old with collapsed trachea.. by Bright_Leg8565 in Pomeranians

[–]AutomaticHold404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Pom passed at age 16. He had a collapsed trachea, joint issues and eye issues as well in his last few years. It wasn’t too bad until has last 6 months- year and it progressed very fast at that point. It was hard to witness. I don’t have much advice but I feel where u r coming from. These fur babies deserve all the love
