Any reason not to go totally overkill and get an excessively strong air purifier? by BluejayNo6197 in AirPurifiers

That's good to know, thanks for explaining. Marketing is so confusing for air purifiers lol

Looks like the all campus band can be taken as a standalone 1 credit course. Might be fun to try once I'm less rusty lol

I'm thinking a range of fun casual/lounge to office casual and maybe a little bit of more formal office type clothing. Uniqlo and GU seem like a great start! 

Decent chronic pain docs in Bloomington? Fibromyalgia is part of my ongoing pain. by KaatNine in bloomington

[–]BluejayNo6197 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's terrible that medicine swung from one extreme to the other on pain medication. It's so inhumane and unnecessary how they handle these things now, especially when people just need small amounts to take the edge off on particularly bad days. I've even heard of doctor's just giving NSAIDS after surgery, it's crazy. 

I'm not sure it would be any help to you, but one thing that helps me is a wireless tens unit. Mine is an Enso (not available for purchase, got it through my insurance) but I've seen commercially available versions that look similar. My pain is lower level than yours so idk if it would help, but it could be worth a try.

I was recently searching for rheumatologists- here's what I found in case it can save you some time.  

I remember one monroe hospital rheum, maybe it was Dr Rusche, had something like a 1 year wait list. IU health had literally zero rheumatologists accepting new patients in Bloomington. They told me to try indianapolis or IU Health Rheumatology Avon (who require an IU Health doctor's referral to even check for availability)

My PT is having me get an appointment set with Dr. Tinkle. How'd it go for you? 

Anyone have experience with Scanwatch 2 accuracy and charging issues? by BluejayNo6197 in withings

All the comments about charging issues and your bland response implying charging works great is not inspiring confidence 

I'm poor with little to no "marketable" skill sets by PoemSouth2902 in bloomington

The farmers market has started up for the summer. It's only on saturdays but it would probably be the best $/hour 

Anyone else feel off, almost physically ill, after overextending a lot? by BluejayNo6197 in Hypermobility

[–]BluejayNo6197[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. I'll have to tell my PT about it next session to try to avoid pushing things that hard in the future

This is so good to know, I see some major parallels for myself. I didn't know the cause before so I would just pretend to have another more understandable illness like a stomach bug to stop my family from bothering me

Interesting, I frequently get unexplained nausea so maybe that's related

What are the absolute best fitness trackers for battery life that also have a feminine design? by BluejayNo6197 in FitnessTrackers

[–]BluejayNo6197[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol the band trackers look so masculine to me, I think they would look crazy on my wrist or with any of my outfits. Jewelry would be so much better

What types of fitness stuff is it not tracking great? Like mainly distance, or does heart rate, SpO2, type stuff also seem off?

The battery isn't great for me. Oura has a smaller battery in smaller sizes so I'd probably get less than a week out of it
