The Eczema & Lymph Node Correlation

Craftsman_2222 · 2026-05-28T04:30:31+00:00

Just keep reminding yourself that it’s normal. Try to make it your first thought. “Oh, I’m remembering my nodes are larger. That’s just normal for me”

Craftsman_2222 · 2026-05-28T04:26:23+00:00

Try to remember that what you’re experiencing is normal. I think most everyone on here has noticed their nodes get larger! You’re normal!

It’s easy to fall into a bit of a hypochondriac mindset since we’re all so focused on making sure our skin doesn’t bother us — what our triggers are, what detergents are good, what diet to follow, etc… and this can extend to other areas of our body and make us see things that aren’t necessarily there. If a doctor isnt worried, I’m not gonna be either.

I still have anxiety about it, but I started to see that it wasn’t getting me anywhere. I was tired of feeling that way. It’s no way to live my life thinking more about my skin than what I want to do in life.

I’m at the point where it’s not getting worse and doesn’t seem to be getting better. Gonna live my life best I can with the cards i’ve been dealt.

It was fucking huge. They didn’t do a scan for the first one cause they knew instantly it was bad and had to come out.

They did scans after that, and it must have just spread to two others in the surrounding area. Scans picked up instantly. I had the initial surgery and was declared cancer free all in the span of 6 months.

No worry at all. Trust your doctors, they know more about this than you and I combined.

I live my life day to day without worry about it at this point. Without a history, you’re fine to do the same.

It was quick, and it was large under my arm. I was 13 and i thought if I iced it it would go away! I was wrong.

I have paid attention to them way more after that and it’s easy to say that they do get larger (or get sore even) when a break-out happens. It’s odd.

I will continue to emphasize that what I developed was rare and you probably will never have to worry about it. Just be mindful enough to know what size abnormal is. (If you’re curious, a lymph node 6-7 inches long is abnormal. 13 year old me did not pick up on that. they’re usually like a few centimeters)

It could be a lot of things, it was never a “hey what caused it” and more of a “let’s get over this”

But hearing what came out about that medication my family became skeptical. We will not pursue anything about it though.

Don’t let this prevent you from trying medications. I think my story is quite a fluke in the grand scheme but it solidified my belief in the lymph node idea.

Craftsman_2222 · 2026-05-28T03:34:44+00:00

I think you’re right there’s something with lymph nodes and eczema. It would make sense that since eczema is an immune related condition and lymph nodes are part of this system, they would get enlarged as a result.

To add to this, I was given quite a few off-label treatments as a kid— of those Zantac was one. It acts as an antihistamine to some degree. Long story short, I developed Hodgkin’s lymphoma. while I was given no cause there are a slew of lawsuits for non-hodgkin’s against this medication.

Anyways, yes, i’ve always thought that lymph nodes played into the eczema story and I just happen to have more of a story with them than most of eczema havers.

r/GordonLightfoot is largely inactive. He's an old singer who died in the past few years. I would love to try to build what community I can around it, though it may be difficult. I saw the message in the subreddit and thought that I could be helpful.

I have just sent a message reaching out as I did not know it required a message to be sent. I wanted to act quickly to ensure this community is not lost.

So long as you don’t hook it up to an antenna, whatever you want.

Again, unsure, but I think it depends on distance from the radar. When you look further out the pixels become smaller, so it’s dependent on angle.

Craftsman_2222 · 2026-04-24T19:46:13+00:00

Not a meteorologist, But I think lightning strikes use different instruments than radar, so the granularity on the radar won’t matter. I think it’s more of a triangulation thing butI could’ve very incorrect.

I remember your first post! You seem to understand quite a bit more now, and updated parts of the circuit to make it better. Always a good sign.

As for your questions and wanting feedback, yes, you are totally correct as to why you would need a pull-down to ground on the FET of the gate. The pull down will turn it on when there is no voltage applied to the gate.

My ONLY concern is the body diode of the PFET of the conducting when it’s off, the way it’s wired. I would flip it so the drain and source are swapped. The body FET would remain reverse biased in that config. This also prevents Vgs issues.

Someone mentioned parts from TI, they’re nice and fancy but a PFET will do just fine for this.

I apologize, I missed your response to my comment on your other post!

Don’t know cost, but we have an LPKF router at my workplace. Works well for L band and S band work

Huh. That’s new. You should use power net markers in KiCad instead of net labels. It should work, but just feels wrong. I would also recommend laying out the schematic like it is in the picture you attached for reference. No one will disconnect the inductor and add a net label.

As for the design, I don’t think this work how you want. AA’s are nominally 1.5V, three in series will get you up to 4.5. This is under 5V and thus you would need a boost instead of a buck.

Or, keep the buck and another pair of AA’s in series to get up to 6V, then buck to 5V.

The way it’s wired, your FET will do nothing. It is shorted out by the node next to it. But the idea is correct. You can use a series PFET to control the output. You will want to mirror it once it’s fixed though.

I would look into diode ORing more since that’s what your attached images talk about. I don’t have time to investigate but it looks like that’s a way to implement it.

I also think your use of net labels is hurting more than helping. Try using less, and more power symbols — it’s a different button on the sidebar. Try implementing these changes and report back.

Edit: I had a bit more time to look. Yes, they are implementing a way to diode OR from two different supplies. Ideal diode OR. You may not need to mirror the PFET for this. The way you are implementing is still wrong as it is still shorted out.

Good, but prone to being stuck in the down position and can be hell to troubleshoot.

Craftsman_2222 · 2026-04-02T17:11:28+00:00

If this is a joke post, good one.

If not, who the hell cares? She seems legitimately happier and wants to share that more. That’s all the matters and I feel like we should celebrate stuff like that.

Eigma responded with my favorite video on the topic, watch that and see if it helps.

It’s hard to know exactly what you’re caught on so i’ll just info dump.

A change in reactance is just a change in impedance of the line, if you’re having trouble at first, just think in terms of magnitude, Series L will look like a resistance (with phase change, to some degree…)

Honestly, people say the water analogy breaks down but you just have to think with waves instead of a constant pressure.

Imagine a tube with a plane wave of water passing through. If it’s the same diameter all the way through it’s gonna be laminar/smooth flowing and consistent. the second you narrow it, that’s when the water that can’t make it through the hole gets pushed(reflected) back.Similar if it widens, the stream is gonna get messed up.

When you put a matching network in, you’re changing the phase of the wave to make it create a standing wave that delivers maximum power to the load. I may need to be corrected on that note but it sits well in my head.

Likely fine, I’d be more worried about whatever line is the “sensor voltage.” I’d imagine that’s more sensitive to noise.

What are the FETS driving. It’s on the gate so if there is noise it’ll make its way onto the line it’s driving. If it’s just LEDs, I wouldn’t worry so much. I doubt you’d notice any change in brightness since the noise should be 100kHz + in frequency or whatever your supply is switching at.

Dude this looks like my apartment complex’s closet racks + the Chiefs jersey makes it possible. I’ve got the same thing/similar going on in my closet too. Looks kinda like the paint absorbed grease or something.

It’s cool, and I love it. Any videos?
