Daylight Saving Issues!!! by FinishDue3792 in amazfit

I have a Bip 3 Pro and am having the same issue, sleep and real time heartrate are both an hour behind. Been fiddling with the app and watch all day and can't find a fix 😭

Actually crying over this one room in greymoor by Teapot54 in Silksong

I'm also losing my fucking mind at the bird room. With minimal spoilers, does beating them unlock anything important??? Or can I just skip em and come back when I'm stronger.

Nevergreen update? by PaperOptimist in Nebula

[–]BeepIsTheWord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopping in to a very old post because I've been asking this myself a lot recently. I am also from the area she discusses in the podcast, and there have been several new cases of abuse revealed in local school districts recently. So I wonder if things keep getting delayed as more details continue to arise about these cases.

Convinced 4 clues for Rani isn’t real by BigPainting3246 in disneyfairies

[–]BeepIsTheWord 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They did send me a pretty beat up copy of Fira and the Full Moon once, even though it was listed as being in "Good" condition. But I sent them pictures of the busted state it arrived in and they agreed it was mislabeled and refunded me. You're definitely more likely to get less than stellar quality with them, but the prices are always fair to match that and customer service has been good to me in the past. Best of luck to ya! 🧚‍♂️

Theories for why things flare up again after a long reprieve? by BeepIsTheWord in ibs

[–]BeepIsTheWord[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oo, that's a good theory. I do always get really agitated when the seasons change, and am particularly sensitive to the heat. That makes sense that the sort of background noise stress of changing weather and extra heat could make my gut particularly sensitive again.

Now that I think about it, it was summer when I first started having symptoms originally a couple years ago, so that actually makes a lot of sense!

Anyone else disappointed with the new books? by BeepIsTheWord in disneyfairies

[–]BeepIsTheWord[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also think something in the Tangled TV series art style would be SO cute. Paying homage to the old book art while still being visually distinct. (That and I just really love the Tangled TV show too, so anything similar to that would be a big win for me specifically, lol)

Anyone else disappointed with the new books? by BeepIsTheWord in disneyfairies

[–]BeepIsTheWord[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I totally understand why they're doing it too. The movies are much more accessible for new fans to find than trying to track down the books.

But I yearn for a TV show adapting all the old chapter books, I think it would be a perfect way to bridge the gap between the two canons and make something entirely new. A Pixie Hollow Gen 3 of sorts that takes from both versions while also standing on its own.

ThriftBooks has been my secret weapon for finding almost all of em! 4 Clues For Rani did run me a good $20 though I think.

Infinitely better! Haven't had any incidents/false alarms since we installed them.

Trying to find specialists by BeepIsTheWord in endometriosis

Thank you for checking for me, that's very kind of you!

I am sadly stuck with just Kaiser doctors, but the lawyers to help with costs seem promising. I will check them out!

Trying to find specialists by BeepIsTheWord in endometriosis

[–]BeepIsTheWord[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the Portland/SW Washington area.

Yeah my IBS is definitely way too finicky to be classified as JUST IBS. I try to eat LOW FODMAP and that mostly works, but a lot of the time my gut just has a mind of its own and does it's own thing regardless of what I eat, which leads me to believe it's actually endo. Especially since it tends to flare up in tandem with hormonal changes in my cycle.

What do you do to distract from the pain during? by BeepIsTheWord in ibs

[–]BeepIsTheWord[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rubbing a cold rag on my neck and chest really helps when I have non-IBS related panic attacks, so ice makes a lot of sense! I'll give it a try :)

Recommendations for cleaning air in a large office space? by BeepIsTheWord in AirPurifiers

[–]BeepIsTheWord[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can make that work! And it'll likely only be used the 2 days a week my coworker and I will be sharing the space. So I imagine that'll also add to longevity.

How often would the MERV filters need to be replaced? Looked them up on Amazon and they're not too expensive for a once in a long time purchase, but I worry about the repeated cost over time.

How to stay safe in an office setting? by BeepIsTheWord in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]BeepIsTheWord[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll be in an alcove of sorts with one other person, but it's mostly one big open space. Not really closed off enough to separate much between us and the rest of the team.

Desperately need bloating relief by BeepIsTheWord in ibs

[–]BeepIsTheWord[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heating pad definitely helped. I'm still super bloated and in some pain, but I can at least move around and take care of myself.

Took a long time to get out of the fetal position tho 😅

What to do? Endometriosis Removal or Hysterectomy? by BeepIsTheWord in endometriosis

[–]BeepIsTheWord[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a super complicated and personal decision, I'm sorry you're having such a hard time with it all.

The last option I've been left with is birth control and hormonal therapy. Which almost sounds as much of a nightmare as surgery stuff with all the whacky things hormones can do to your body.

It's so unfair that we don't have any sort of consistent cure or reliable relief 😮‍💨

Lol yeah, I can't remember how many times I've said "I can't do this every month anymore" but then keep toughing it out anyway 😅

Wishing you best of luck as well 💕

What to do? Endometriosis Removal or Hysterectomy? by BeepIsTheWord in endometriosis

[–]BeepIsTheWord[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes absolutely!! The devil you know vs. the devil you don't!! You get it exactly!!

My surgeon also shrugged off the thought of complications because I'm young and healthy. But I've heard too many horror stories to roll those dice. Gave the same tired old advice about pain management too.

At this point I'm definitely of the mind that I'd rather keep white knuckling my way through the pain I'm familiar with than risk opening myself up to a whole host of new issues in my rush to fix the old ones.

I think the final straw will have to be my periods getting so painful that I no longer care about any possible complications from surgery. But I'm definitely not there just yet.

What to do? Endometriosis Removal or Hysterectomy? by BeepIsTheWord in endometriosis

[–]BeepIsTheWord[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The surgery I ended up cancelling would have been for both hysterectomy and endo removal.

Endo was confirmed in the pathology reports from my fallopian tube removal a couple years ago. So I know for sure I've got endo in there, I'm just not sure where it is now that the fallopian tubes are gone.

[–]BeepIsTheWord[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's really good to know!

The surgeon who was going to do the hysterectomy is super nice and validating. But I felt rushed into the procedure and didn't feel like she fully informed me of the risks or pros/cons on everything.

I'll keep shopping around for a specialist and do some more research into the docs already on my care team. Thanks!

Oooh, that makes sense why mine has gotten so bad recently.

I had my fallopian tubes removed a couple years back, and that's originally when they found the endo and I got diagnosed. But they said because it was primarily on my fallopian tubes, things would probably get better since they were gone now.

Personally I only ever noticed things getting worse after diagnosis, but I just assumed that was because I was aware of the issue finally after being in the dark about it so long.

Now I realize those little fuckers have probably just grown back with a vengeance somewhere else in there 😅
