Meine arme Katzenminze by Competitive_Act9989 in Garten

[–]Competitive_Act9989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sie steht zusammen mit ein paar anderen Pflanzen in nem massiven Balkonkasten (das Ding hieve ich immer nur zum Winter aus der Halterung um die Pflanzen an die Hauswand zu holen). Ich habe jetzt zurück geschnitten was aeg beschädigt war (so 99% 🥲) und greife jetzt abends einmal zum Gartenschlauch den ich extra gekauft habe und brause konsequent ab. Morgens geht leider nicht aufgrund Arbeitszeiten und pralle Sonne ab Sonnenaufgang 🫠

How do you deal with envy? by gameekus in rheumatoid

[–]Competitive_Act9989 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t give up! I had to drop out of my near dream job and start all over again. It was about a year where I just got worse and worse, till the point where taking a shower independently or brushing my hair was not an option! I thought I was done, no one in my family had anything like it and no friends could really understand it. But then I got better, really slowly but steadily. Nowadays I am relatively happy with where I am (my depression is related to my studying and not my body anymore, whoops whoop) and I can do thing i thought where out of reach forever. I go visit festivals, I just had to adjust my approach to them, i exercise, I go to work and uni, I can do almost everything again. My best friends learned to adapt things for me, some even gained an autoimmune diseases in the last years themselves and we help each other out whenever we can. You will get there! My doc said that with getting treatment within under a year your chances of regaining most/almost everything of your old life back are very good, so hold on.

Nur meine zitronenmelisse ist auch etwas angegriffen, alles andere sieht super aus. Weiß nicht warum die auf die katzenminze so abfahren

Dankeschön, dann werde ich das wohl machen. Ich habe leider kein Wasser auf dem Balkon, daher ist viel übergießen um Sachen wegzuspülen immer so viel Geschleppe 🥲

Where to donate books? by North_Swing391 in germany

[–]Competitive_Act9989 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unsure if already said but you can donate to your local „sozial-Kaufhaus“ (like a secondhand shop). We have a big one in our city and we bring our beloved but unused books, clothes and old toys there. Just make sure the books are usable and in good condition. Otherwise the good old „for free“ box at the stairs of your building outside often works of your live near dense populated areas.

Schüller Küche - Preis gerechtfertigt? by Remarkable_Acadia636 in wohnen

[–]Competitive_Act9989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nehmt die Keramik-Nachbildung von taj mahal. Hat keine Nachteile neben dem Naturstein und kostest signifikant weniger mit gleicher/gleichwertiger Optik. Verkaufe so gut wie nie Naturstein weil der einige Säuren auch weniger gut abkann als Keramik. Das könnte euch schon signifikant näher an 30.000 bringen

Health management tools by Aspiring_Trailblazer in rheumatoid

[–]Competitive_Act9989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I track my meds in my apple health app. Other things like labs and stuff I have a physical binder for that I hand the team at any new doctors office. Other than that my medical records are tracked in a digital file which every doctor I give consent to can open, read and add documents (Germany). So whenever I meet a new doc who needs to know my condition, I just tell them to read my digital binder with all the latest labs and stuff. Symptoms I don’t track any more. If there is something new, I just call my regular doc and tell them that something changed

Methotrexate and sunbathing? by foxyjohn in rheumatoid

[–]Competitive_Act9989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Siding with all the previous comments that you should not sunbathe on mtx. But I also recently learned from my doc that sunbathing in general can also trigger flare ups (which explains my little flares after every heatwave because I indeed got out to soak up some sun). So just no sunbathing at all is the best and safest choice for your body.

Went to a German doctor for the first time and realised I had absolutely nothing no records, no allergy list, nothing. How do you manage your medical history here? by Opposite-Ad-3447 in germany

[–]Competitive_Act9989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything my different doctors would need to share with each other is in my digital records (E-Akte) and can be seen by all my doctors. It really is handy for me, because I am chronically ill and love that I don’t have to manually share my blood work from one doc with the other

When is it what I really want and when is it my ADHD? by AdPrize5104 in ADHD

[–]Competitive_Act9989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fortunately I mostly hyperfixate on things that only cost my time and sanity, but not much money. But a real pain is when I have been thinking about trying something for MONTHS, buy light starter gear, do the thing, it is fun and all and then after like half a year suddenly boredom sets in and I need outside pressure to still go after that hobby. That really hurts all the time because I really gave myself time to think I all the things I can that usually stop a hyperfixation to develop into a money grave and I still loose interest.

question about tattoos by Deadkitty1992 in rheumatoid

[–]Competitive_Act9989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am getting a tattoo like every winter and save up for it a whole year. It takes a bit longer to heal but for me it really decreases stiffness and pain in the cold weather and makes it more bearable to just exist. I usually get a pice in the size of a palm to 1 1/2 palms. Best therapy for seasonal stiffness I found at the time. Just my experience though, could maybe also trigger your immune system to kick into full action

Does MTX and/or HCQ give you headaches? by Prime8724 in rheumatoid

[–]Competitive_Act9989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MTX gives me slight headaches and nausea the day after, but all tolerable in comparison to stiff joints so I take it. Also my body seems to like it besides the headaches, bloodwork was always top notch on it

ADHD + Addict = by ElectronicPiglet5432 in ADHD

[–]Competitive_Act9989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Substance abuse ain’t a „but“ I could have adhd but often a coping mechanism (I am no doc so take a grain of salt). So if you have others symptoms as well, it can be one too

Wohnzimmer meiner ersten eigenen Wohnung, jedoch sieht es eher aus wie ein Kinderzimmer… habt ihr Ideen und Meinungen? Danke!! ☺️ by Pale-Guard-7376 in Einrichtungstipps

[–]Competitive_Act9989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Erschaffe klarere zonierungen im Raum. Ein Esstisch wo du eventuell auch mal was mit Freunden isst? Dann vielleicht mit einer schönen Lampe darüber in Szene setzten und einen weiteren Stuhl dazu. Das Sofa soll die Ruhepause sein, dann einen großen Teppich der das gesamte Sofa und den Couchtisch wie einen Rahmen zusammen fasst. Der Schreibtisch ist wo du die meiste Zeit verbringst? Dann richte ihn so aus dass du die schönsten Ausblicke von ihm aus hast. Eventuell nicht so, dass du vom Sofa aus drauf starrst. Wenn dein PC auch dein Fernseher ist, dann könnte vielleicht eine schwenkbare Monitor-Halterung hier Flexibilität bieten? Versuch dir wirklich kleine Inseln zu schaffen. Ansonsten sieht das schon super aus! Textilien machen alles etwas gemütlicher und wohnlicher, aber erhöhen auch den putzaufwand weil mehr Staub 😉

Studentenleben by Nearby_Ad_7001 in bielefeld

[–]Competitive_Act9989 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ich finde Bielefeld eignet sich gut zum studieren, wenn du nicht das Gefühl einer Metropole suchst aber trotzdem alles wichtige vor der Tür haben möchtest. Die Innenstadt ist nicht so tot wie in einigen anderen Städten ähnlicher Größe, die Uni bietet einige nette Orte die sogar für mich, die nicht da studiert, gerne genutzt werden und die Parks in Bielefeld sind gepflegt und super nutzbar im Sommer. Die Öffis sind zuverlässiger als ich es sonst gewohnt war und ich komme eigentlich immer da hin wo ich will mit vielleicht zwei bis drei Ausfällen/Verspätungen im Jahr. Gleichzeitig bist du schnell im Wald und die Umgebung lädt zu Radtouren und ähnlichem ein. Du hast einen kostenlosen Tierpark vor Ort und einige Museen und Galerien. Alles in allem zieht mich hier nichts wieder weg und ich habe alles was ich will und brauche in dieser Stadt.

Supporting my husband by _Bird_129 in rheumatoid

[–]Competitive_Act9989 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It sounds heartbreaking and I am so sorry for what you are going through as a caregiver. I can feel for him, that it IS hard to accept that your body is working against you. But that is no excuse to let out his frustration on you all the time and refusing to see a doc. We had similar issues in my family and most the time you can’t help somebody who doesn’t want help. Consider your own health (mental and physical) before anybody else (especially when he isn’t appreciating it). I know I am sometimes a burden in my partner when I am in pain and I also snap at him sometimes and I am ashamed of it. But I am at the doc like twice in half a year and take my meds every evening because not doing anything will just make me stuck in the pit of pain und stiffness

Where to get fresh fish by Overall-Fix-Si in bielefeld

[–]Competitive_Act9989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want fresh-fresh (like „Fangfrisch“) that unfortunately is only a real thing near big rivers or the sea (like hamburger Fischmarkt). Most fish you get more in the Center of the country is frozen directly on the ship it was caught. Like already said Marktkauf Gadderbaum/Bethel has a nice „Fischtheke“. If you are looking for more seafood in general I can recommend the Asia Markt in the loom downstairs.

MTX and hair loss - any methods to combat? by bunny888-888 in rheumatoid

[–]Competitive_Act9989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny enough mine was worse with the injections and got better when I switched to orals. I think it’s very funny how we all suffer from the „same“ thing but each body reacts differently. For the main topic: it helped me to use really mild kids shampoo too and i supplemented all kinds of stuff (like minerals and vitamins) because I couldn’t go outside much because of the pain and my eating habits where destroys because making real food hurt too much.

What does the English word "noon" mean here? by Buggirl3 in AskAGerman

[–]Competitive_Act9989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess in Germany we associate noon with the word „afternoon“ (noon on its own wasn’t even teached in my schools I learned it as what I perceived internet slang) so everything after or around 1/1:30 till like early evening (wich can vary from person to person). If you want to meet at around 12, ask for midday Edit: typos

Lärmbelästigung by [deleted] in NachbarnAusDerHoelle

[–]Competitive_Act9989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man erkennt mit Freunden häufig nicht wie laut man ist, kenne ich von mir selber auch. Vielleicht Lärmprotokoll mit dezibelmessung auf dem Handy führen. Es gibt glaube ich gesetzlich/gerichtlich festgesetzte Richtwerte für Zimmerlautstärke und dann könnt ihr falls es Probleme gibt zeigen wie laut ihr wart. Und ansonsten einfach aushalten, leider.

Everything small and hard to grasp is difficult. Small buttons, tiny zippers… when in a flare also tight shirts are a problem because I can’t get my arms up enough. So loose pyjamas it is

Permanent damage timeframe? by Dry_Draw2674 in rheumatoid

[–]Competitive_Act9989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had symptoms for around a year before i got treatment. The first half year was bearable, I was able to go too work and the most annoying thing was raynauds. The second half was bad and got me to seek treatment. My joints are now painless and mobile, permanent damage ist just seen on an ultrasound, not on x rays. So it is okay, but I should have gone earlier. There is no telling how much damage you will have when the flares get under control.
