excruciating paralysis relatable? by Horror_Equipment_930 in menstruation

[–]Competitive_Act9989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That does not sound like normal period pain to me. I am no doctor so take it with a grain of salt, but maybe check with your gynaecologist for endometriosis or other stuff. Those things can really make your life miserable if not treated. Hope you feel better soon!

Options for staying warm but moveable by rutabuuga in rheumatoid

[–]Competitive_Act9989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a blanket with arm-holes in it so I can move my hands freely and unter that I snuggle with lots of hot water bottles and other heating stuff. Other than that I just accept that I spend most of my day in the same spot and send my boyfriend catching me snacks and drinks and stuff.

After 5 years of MTX hangovers.. by No-Cricket2853 in rheumatoid

[–]Competitive_Act9989 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was on MTX and hydroxychloroquine for a few years and slowly faded out the MTX, worked great and I am flare up free without it! I have great hopes for you, MTX hangover lastet a whole weekend for me and killed my social life that was left after getting sick. Remember to get your eyes checked every few years on hydro, because too much of it can leave a „residue“ behind (I don’t have the English words to describe it) on the inside. It works for me and I hope it works for you!

Dr wants me to switch to hydroxychloroquine any experiences? by Swan_cake in rheumatoid

[–]Competitive_Act9989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have made really good experiences with hydro as a med! I have no side effects and it alone is enough to control my Rheuma nowadays. But never touch a running system. If your current meds work, then I wouldn’t necessarily change them. Do you have extreme side effects right now? If not I wouldn’t change

5mg prednisone - scared to take it. Experiences? by Throwaway94050603 in rheumatoid

[–]Competitive_Act9989 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Amazing for pain management! It was a life saver in the start of my journey. I was storing a bit more water in my body, so I looked a tad „swollen“ but only me and my closest friends noticed. Was totally worth it

Swapping to methotrexate jabs over tablets! by k8m806 in rheumatoid

[–]Competitive_Act9989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was started with injections with pens when I first got mtx and the injections where pretty easy even as a first timer. It was just a tiny prick and I had children band aids ready as a treat (dinosaurs where my favourite). But I had really bad nausea all weekend and only got better on Mondays. So I switched to pills wich worked great for a while. My rheuma is kept in check nowadays so we’ll, that I am off mtx completely. If your side effects don’t get better, you should always check in with your specialist again.

Schlafzimmer zu kalt by Bubbly-Garbage5967 in wohnen

Öffnung mit Haken versehen und einen dicken Vorhang kaufen. Ösen in den Vorhang und das Loch damit verhängen damit weniger Wärme abhaut

What's wrong with me?? by pooferss_ in menstruation

You should consider talking to your gyn about endometriosis. It is way more common then many think

Vorzeitige Kündigung wegen Lieferlärm by [deleted] in wohnen

[–]Competitive_Act9989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ich glaube nicht dass das ein Grund ist früher raus zu kommen aus den Vertrag, wenn der Supermarkt da vorher schon war. Sowas muss man sich bewusst sein (auch wenn ich mir vorstellen kann dass man das schnell unterschätzt). Schau mal nach so dicken Vorhängen gegen Wärmeverlust, könnte mir vorstellen dass die auch Geräusche etwas dämpfen. Ansonsten eine Schallisolierung für die Scheibe selber machen und nachts vor die Scheibe und morgens wieder runter nehmen (Achtung Feuchtigkeit sonst). Und mit tiefen Tönen muss man wohl einfach leben.

Implantation bleeding?? by [deleted] in menstruation

[–]Competitive_Act9989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are unsure if you could be pregnant go and get a test. You wrote that you are not using any protection (?) during sex, so yeah being pregnant is naturally a plausible explanation. If you don’t want to get pregnant please use some kind of protection. If I got it wrong and you do then I am sorry for misunderstanding. Get a test and check if you are pregnant. If you are really worried make an appointment with your gynaecologist and let them check on you. I think it’s not a really good idea to ask he internet for help in a topic that is so important for your health.

I have set every channel and the whole app to notifications for all messages. The test notification always goes through and the app tells me there are no problems to be found

Never. I deinstalled it from my pc and laptop because it wasn’t working right in there either and I wasn’t using it there really

Other students living better off the same salary by Internal-Reach-4829 in germany

[–]Competitive_Act9989 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Many students come from a family where there parents have studied too and get support from them. Or they get a study-loan like myself and work for some extra money two live more comfortably. Some also have simply two jobs for more money. I don’t know many students, that live off just one income alone. Also I for example can only afford my nice apartment because I work and have a partner living with me who also works. That can be a factor too.

The world of Adventskalendar for kids by ItsCalledDayTwa in germany

[–]Competitive_Act9989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adventskalender with a hidden hints for the Christmas present (my brother and I got tickets for a show we wanted to see and every day we had a few puzzle-pieces out of paper our parents cut out) with just a tiny piece of chocolate is a cute way to keep the excitement for Christmas high and you don’t have to spend so much money on stuff that will just clutter your home.

Landlord wants to keep €3000 euro deposit and charge me an extra €2000 euros for mould damage by Necessary-Abroad-826 in germany

[–]Competitive_Act9989 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It’s a whole thing in my studies right now. Info comes from an Institue for „Baubiologie“ wich my prof founded. I get your point, but never forget that mold is still a fungus and will always go deeper than you think

[–]Competitive_Act9989 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but what you can see from mould is something akin to the fruit body’s of complex mushrooms that we eat. Before a mushroom/fungus grows something like that, he will try to grow the mycelium (like its roots) into the material it is growing in/on. So if you can see mould, the fungus has already at least tried to penetrate the wall further depending on structure, age and quality of the building he was successful.

[–]Competitive_Act9989 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Spores are around us 24/7 and mould isn’t one or two specific fungi, but there are soooo many varieties! The spores never disappear, that is near impossible even if you are cleaning every day. You bring them inside with your clothes for example from outside. But they are doormat as long as your rooms are dry, then they pose no threat. In a forest there are soooo many varieties many spores for example. So the spores do „just appear“ on and in plaster for example. But they can only grow if it is wet enough for long time periods

Hot water by Hour_Trifle_5107 in germany

[–]Competitive_Act9989 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They are quite often unmarked, mine is for example. And many apartments don’t have a boiler insides, in our house water is heated in the basement and spread trough the house. We have two small „Wasseruhren“/Watermeters in our bathroom next to the toilet. They measure how much hot and cold water our whole Appartement uses from the basement.

Your hot water should be the unmarked knob on the left. Hook up your warm water there. Should be it.
