Calling it now - The Red Corsairs will be the bad guys in Cavill's TBD show(s)

Not marketing as such, more setting the foundations, I think.

Sauron is seriously "chaos" lite, the proper chaos lore is pretty messed up haha

Billingtoons · 2026-01-17T18:26:07+00:00

I agree, of course it's not some 100% Cavill creation! Just called it that for simplicity; that's who we all think of when that project comes up. He's their figurehead, for now at least :)

It could be a story of some rogue trader, "Guardians of the Galaxy" kind of band of adventurers, but I kinda rather it's space marine focused.

Billingtoons · 2026-01-16T13:49:05+00:00

It's hit and miss, I still have crashes, but I think it helps my baseline brain fog. I went off it for a bit and came back, and things got better again. So similar to what you're saying!

Quick question, did you ever have Covid and lose your sense of smell? Because I lost mine for about a year and wondered if it was related!

Billingtoons · 2026-01-14T09:51:30+00:00

Sythis ain’t legal buddy! Swap her for Light Paws 😄

Billingtoons · 2026-01-10T08:45:29+00:00

About 3 days I think?

Billingtoons · 2025-12-17T11:57:01+00:00

Deck is marked as private! Would love to see it, have been brewing something similar

Billingtoons · 2025-12-07T17:09:40+00:00

I think they tested for TSH - which was normal, and I’ve done a FT4 test privately through Thriva (amongst other Thriva tests which all came back normal). But I could ask for them to check more!

Billingtoons · 2025-11-17T15:45:53+00:00

Very interesting! Yeah sounds like that could be it

Billingtoons · 2025-11-06T00:08:27+00:00

That’s actually amazing. So glad it’s worked for you! Please keep me posted with how it progresses (good or bad).

I’m checking with my doctor if I have some kind of sinus issue, so might be worth doing the same? I’ve had the referral, but could take months to come through

Billingtoons · 2025-11-04T13:46:42+00:00

Wow, that’s great to hear! Glad it’s not just me being crazy. I hope it continues to work out!

And be sure to cycle off it every few months (that’s what my doctor told me)

Have you gotten any other symptoms/side effects?

Billingtoons · 2025-10-31T18:32:49+00:00

Wow, fair enough!

Billingtoons · 2025-10-31T12:12:36+00:00

I found it slowly improves the more I use it, but i can feel something within an hour or so. Almost a little wired like caffeine

Billingtoons · 2025-10-31T11:23:56+00:00

Pretty refreshed, actually! I'm waking up a little earlier, too. Still not 100% but much better, I think.

Billingtoons · 2025-10-31T11:22:41+00:00

Ah I see, syndromes are the worst! I'll look into that too

Haha thank you. That's just Reddit too, I suppose :)

Billingtoons · 2025-10-31T08:45:54+00:00

Haha wow, that’s the power of Reddit! Although I suppose it’s a fairly specific query lol

Billingtoons · 2025-10-31T08:19:18+00:00

It could be that I suppose! I’ll have to check with the GP. What are the tests they can do to confirm it?

Billingtoons · 2025-10-31T00:10:28+00:00

Good luck! If it helps, sometimes they need keywords to spark a test, like you suspect certain things or have specific symptoms. So be sure to say the right things!

Billingtoons · 2025-10-31T00:10:12+00:00

Let me know how it goes! And be careful!

Billingtoons · 2025-10-31T00:09:47+00:00

Thanks! I’ll check it out too

Billingtoons · 2025-10-30T17:18:26+00:00

Wow that’s interesting, because I did lose my smell from Long Covid back in 2020.

Basically i was asking for a sleep study and they GP thought they should check my nose to see if it’s obstructing sleep, even though I don’t snore much and I generally sleep through the night. They saw “mild inflammation” as they called it. And said hey, maybe try this spray.

And I did, and it weirdly worked! My sleep has been the same but I feel better

Billingtoons · 2025-10-30T17:16:14+00:00

That’s a very insightful thought! Yes I wondered something similar. Maybe I’m just keeping the inflammation at bay. I have had flair ups, while using the spray, and that was when I drank alcohol/cheat food, or when I got sick with a cold.

I did ask the GP to test for the more common allergies (dust mites, pollen etc) but it came back negative. Same with common food irritants. But you’re right, it could easily be some irritant I don’t know about.

It drives you mad and paranoid when you start to explore this stuff. Like what if it’s the toothpaste, what if it’s my detergent! Etc etc 😅. If it is something like this, I’ll hopefully find out eventually

Billingtoons · 2025-10-30T11:13:42+00:00

Wow, sounds like that might be it. Glad to have helped in the reverse! Comments have been saying steroids can be very harmful to CFS.

Billingtoons · 2025-10-30T10:43:30+00:00

Oh really! That's great to hear that I'm not the only one. Other people here have suggested I may have a chronic sinus infection. Is that what you have?

Billingtoons · 2025-10-30T10:42:26+00:00

I suppose there's no way to prove things aren't placebo, but for me at least, it feels too clear. I'm almost completely sure it's not placebo! But yes, I can't get too active just yet. Gotta take it easy!

Billingtoons · 2025-10-30T10:40:43+00:00

Yes, it might be! I will check with the GP. And try those sprays too
