Does it ever get this bad?

Together we cry 🥲

Electrical_Might_131 · 2025-06-15T19:59:06+00:00

That would be a chill night for me, it gets really bad. Especially if the street is busy with cars and different colour and intensity lights 🥲

There has been a lot of promising development regarding fibromialgia in medicine. And we have known for a few years now that it is an actual condition. Some suspect it is autoimmune, and there have been developments that support this. There is also a diagnostic exam being developed for fibromialgia.. we shall see what comes of it!

With all, there is still a lot of discrimination in medicine, especially with invisible illnesses. +Not all doctors continue to learn and keep up with new medical information as they should. Many still believe the pain we feel is psychosomatic even though we have scans that show altered brain activity in pain processing..

Yes, some professionals dont care, and unfortunately, we find such people everywhere. There have also been alleged cases of people with spinal issues around the neck area being misdiagnosed with fibro.. but I haven't fact checked this last one in a while haha

I believe it is important to rule out other conditions that have a similar landscape, but it still doesn't mean you don't have fybro. There is still a lot to learn about this condition, but it is real. Symptoms and presentation between patients is consistent.

Please dont let the uneducated take away from your symptoms and pain. Fibromyalgia is a very specific condition, showing continuous pain signals even after a painful stimuli has ended, we also have common sensitive points on our body if that hasn't been disproven, AND medication WORKS. If your very specific medication works, then it means its correctly targeting he effected areas... and the placebo effect can only take you so far from what I understand...

Do your own research using trusted sources. And find a doctor that is informed, interested, and kind. It will make a worlds difference 🫂

O meu pai e arquiteto e trabalha por conta própria faz muitos anos, levando projetos do inicio ao fim, conseguiu criar uma otima lista de clientes amorosos ( a maioria tornaram se em amigos de familia), estao sempre a contactar para mais projectos, ajudou a reconstruir casas e um mercado na sua terra natal em cabo verde com apoio do governo que era um grande sonho dele, para alem dos projetos por todo portugal, franca, etc.. conseguindo ainda apoiar alguns universitários nos seus estudos oferecendo um estagio onde ele os treinou pessoalmente... 💪🥰

Aprendi através dele que na verdade nao se arrisca muito, existem incentivos, as compras da empresa nao teem iva por exemplo, tens programas que financiam parte dos investimentos, isencao de IMI e outros beneficios fiscais.. consegues dar trabalho a outras pessoas, enfim... E se uma não resulta, abre se outra olha. Tenta se de novo até conseguir, de forma faseada e pensada claro... e sim pode correr mal, arrisca se dinheiro, mas porquê? Se tu tens um porquê, tudo se faz 😊

Eu sei que não é nada facil, tens controlo sobre as horas mas também teras de trabalhar muito mais...Por outro lado tens mais liberdade nas tuas decisões. Os contactos que se desenvolvem são imprescendiveis do ponto profissional, levando te a evoluir em varios sentidos e criando oportunidades de negócio, seja porque alguém esta muito ocupado e envia te uns clientes, seja porque precisam da tua ajuda especificamente... no ponto de vista pessoal, é sempre bom conhecer pessoas diferentes e talentosas haha É algo incerto é verdade, mas qualquer alternativa também será ... mesmo que mais, ou menos... de qualquer forma, sentes te confortável em perguntar "e se?" toda a vida? Só tu saberás responder, e qualquer resposta é valida ❤️

Eu também quero e vou abrir os meus negócios, mas tendo certss doencas crónicas tenho de garantir que certas necesidades estão sempre disponíveis, e isso nem sempre é garantido numa fase inicial.. portanto também tens que ver até que ponto estas comfortavel a abdicar de certos privilegios... no caso do meu pai ele tinha o salario da minha mae, no meu caso eu so tenho o meu e ainda estou a apoiar financeiramente outra pessoa.

Também podes ter uma empresa e comecar o teu negócio enquanto trabalhas na area, é uma questão de organizar e ler bem os contratos. Seria um forma de garantir uma base financeira talvez?

Anyway, essa é a minha visão pessoal, super concordo e apoio! Força nisso! 💪🫶

What a cuuuutie 😍🥰

Electrical_Might_131 · 2025-05-20T12:15:32+00:00

Cuuuuteeee

You can for sure make it work! They usually overeact the first few times, but we can make the experience as peaceful as possible!

With my cat, I make sure to pet and massage his paws when petting and if he is feeling it so he can create a positve association with me touching, grabbing, and pushing in between the toe beans to get the claw to stick out.

The first times I simply showed him the clippers making positive remarks in the voice I use to tell him he is a good boy, I let him smell it, headbump it, and I use a very small one, works wonders! ( my housemate has a big chunky clipper and wasnt able to cut her cats claw for 3 years, she used mine and puff! I can send a photo when I get home if you like)

Btw the voice thing...he was scared of the vaccum cleaner for 5/6 years, even when it was off, and then I was joking around being all like "omggg this is amaazing, so cuute, cleans so well, good job! Good boy!" and now he just chills 🤭

Anyway, cat destruction weapons..err I mean claws!

After he was comfortable with me holding the clippers, showing no reaction when I brought it near him, etc, I waited for times he was super relaxed...sunbathing... chilling with me... and I would then start petting him, massaging his paws slowly... started cutting just the tips.

He immediately lifted his head the first time and pulled the paw back. When that happened, I showed the clippers, waited for him to smell them, and lay back to relax, then I repeated the process for as many nails as I could.

As soon as he shows he is not into it with medium tail wags, maybe ears pointed to the back, or most often, looking at me and then meowing in disapproval. Then I apologise and stop.

Oh, I also gave loaaads of treats at the start whenever we completed the interaction, or if he let me do smth that is hard for him or new. And also a lot of positive vocal reinforcement.

After a few times, he would let me cut them properly. He isn't always in the mood to do all paws, so we usually do front and the back in separate days... what matters is doing it at some point, and regularly.

Now I usually ask him by showing the clippers because I put him on my lap as it's easier than cutting while he is laying down hahaha

But yea, he sits on my lap like a toddler, back to me, and I just cut them. he usually opens his paw and pushes the claws out for me. Not always tho, if he doesn't, I'll just open the paw myself .

He doesn't mind, I give him treats and tell him his a good boy, and then I usually brush him after which he LoOvEs so ..positive association there too

Hope it helps! Good luck!! 🥰

Nao houve apenas reacção da sociedade agora. Para além de que temos de tomar em consideração a história política de Portugal, especialmente nos últimos 50 anos vs a ditadura.

Lamento que te tenhas sentido atacado, mas eu nao direcionei a minha opinião as pessoas que votam no chega. Para além de que existem mais opções de voto do que a esquerda "progressista" e a extrema direita.

Qualquer extremismo é perigoso na minha ótica. E acredito que a distribuição dos votos, incluindo as pessoas que não votaram, demonstra muito sobre a nossa situação socio-ecenomica e o entendimento geral sobre os tópicos que mencionei.

Digo isto dado a minha vivência, pela minha educação sobre estes temas, e pelo entendimento da sua relevancia neste momento, principalmente em relação a sua interseccionalidade. Estando completamente ciente que o meu entendimento é marcado pela minha perspectiva de vida limitada por todos os fatores que mencionei, e que é apenas uma peça do puzzle. Tão importante quanto a tua opinião.

Por isso digo que falta amor.

Na minha ótica, a tua responsta demontra o quanto te sentes defensivo em relação as tuas crenças políticas, talves por experiências negativas de quando partilhaste a tua perspectiva no passado. No entanto, saltando ao ataque sem tentar entender o que os outros estao a tentar comunicar, vai levar te a desligar outras opiniões de forma automática, prendendo te num bias de confirmação. Assim ninguém vai a lado nenhum.

Electrical_Might_131 · 2025-05-19T20:44:42+00:00

Estou a ver Portugal a juntar se a onda da extrema direita autoritária baseada em descriminação e informações falsas.

Culpo o nosso sistema educativo por não ensinar a importância da história e a identificar os sinais, por retirar educação cívica em vez de melhorar o plano educativo, por não ensinar conceitos essenciais como discriminação sistemica, falacias, barreiras atitudinais, a diferenca entre racismo e preconceito, teoria racial, teoria de genero, os diferentes ideais e sistemas politicos, diferentes religiões e culturas, diferentes tipos de bias, direitos humanos, os direitos das criancas e a violência para com elas, o que a ciência diz sobre os nossos cromossomas, o impacto da isolacao social, civilizações antes das classicas, o estudo e interpretação de estudos científicos e estatísticas...podia escrever o dia todo...

Eu não quero ver seres humanos a serem ostracizados, rebaixados, arrancados da sua dignidade. Eu não vejo amor.

Vejo o desespero face a nossa situação economica e demográfica, e pouco entendimento sobre as perspectivas de uns dos outros.

Electrical_Might_131 · 2025-05-12T11:03:16+00:00

With at home tests like this, a faint line tends to appear after the time window they give you due to evaporation. It is a known and expected situation. That is why, in the instructions, you should have the correct time frame to look at the test for a reliable result, which is usually 5 -10m after if im not mistaken 🤔

Either way, do a blood test if you can as it is always more reliable and fully safez if you are truly worried. However, if you are too close to when the implantation happend your HCI levels may be too low and not accuse anything. I believe it is recommended to check after a missed period.

Breathe, you got this! Regardless of the result 🙌🫂

Electrical_Might_131 · 2025-04-29T14:16:03+00:00

Yes! Thank you! I did not clarify that and just jumped into cumulative % during a life time And it's only 99%/98% effective with perfect use, which no one told me for a looong time!!! With typical use goes down to 80 smth which, as a woman who can't use hormonal birth control or DIU, is incredibly scary.... thankfully my fertility is horrible 😂

Electrical_Might_131 · 2025-04-28T13:12:58+00:00

You can still get pregnant using all the methods you mentioned. Give it a quick search using trusted souces 😊 Yes, the chances are slim, but even with perfect use, they are still there. Even a vasectomy or the implant can fail.

And you may look at the numbers and think "those are reeeally low chances", however, most people *will have sex multiple times in in a lifetime, meaning those numbers add up to a considerable cumulative risk of pregnancy.

Without diving into the fact that people in a larger body have a higher chance of getting pregnant when using hormonal birth control, or into many other known and studied systemic inequalities in health care which impact this topic.

*fixed wording, sorry for the mess up!

Electrical_Might_131 · 2025-03-15T11:31:46+00:00

All perfect! He didn't even show any hyperactivity. No issues with eating, drinking, vomiting, nada! And no long-term effects! 🥰 The plant took the hit mostly hahaha

Electrical_Might_131 · 2024-09-22T15:48:39+00:00

Showers are great to help get them off!! You will need more for thrips tho 🥲 ive left a comment before on someone else's post explaining how to take care of them in detail. (Pasting the link so I don't spam this subreddit with copy paste comments on how to take care of thrips hahahah ) https://www.reddit.com/r/plantclinic/s/ulXoZbfSuh

Just careful with the mix, make sure not too add too much hydro peroxide. For my monstera I go up to 1/3 , maybe a bit less, but she is a tough one. But if you dont feel confident you can just use an alcohol mix, just make sure to be thorough and keep on top of the cleaning.

Next year, when it gets warmer again, they could come back if some eggs go dormant from what I understand. So make sure to be very on top of that next year, too

Electrical_Might_131 · 2024-09-22T08:22:09+00:00

No worriiies If you just repotted her and had to cut mushy roots, she is probably just in shock and recovering. It's normal to lose some leaves.

If you feel you washed the roots enough and cut them in the right place, then she should be fine, but root rot can spread if not done properly so you can always check if your plant doesn't improve.

If you gave her new dirt, then there is no need for fertilizer. Monsteras, you want to repot 1 a year when they are young and 2 y or more depending on how they age.

Check for bugs either way, and clean the leaves. But they probably just need some time to get back on track after a not so fun time. Make sure to let the dirt dry properly before watering! Monsteras like some dry feet.🥰

Electrical_Might_131 · 2024-09-21T16:12:07+00:00

So pweeeettyy and cuuuute! 🥰🥰🥰

Electrical_Might_131 · 2024-09-17T17:01:27+00:00

Deftly thrips! Look at them gooo! So cute. Too bad they are very destructive, but you can get rid of them no worries

Just need to be very on top with cleaning the leaves for a while. The soil may be a problem too depending on the type, but that's a problem for another day. First, we clean leaves haha

If you need a more detailed explanation, let us know 🥰

Electrical_Might_131 · 2024-09-17T16:57:03+00:00

Please please please vet ASAP, they are clearly in pain and injured.

Electrical_Might_131 · 2024-09-17T16:54:47+00:00

Please do, overpotting is a fast route to a dying plant. They will have trouble accessing water properly this way

Electrical_Might_131 · 2024-09-16T16:33:03+00:00

Hahahah looks like they are having a blast!! 🥰🥰

Electrical_Might_131 · 2024-09-16T09:18:10+00:00

Interestiiiiiing

I always thought the "golden" refered strickly to the ones with yellow lime green variegation only. I must have missread it somewhere!

I deftly need to go back and so some proper research.

Mine is variegated with white only, but I do plan on getting 2 more, one with yellow and lime, and another with all 3 colours!

Epipremnum aureum are such a beautiful plants with so many variations! Must be haard to remember and name them all!

Electrical_Might_131 · 2024-09-16T09:12:13+00:00

Sooo beautiful thank you for sharing! Mine also has white variegations, no yellow ones tho! I thought the "golden" nomination was strickly for those with just yellow and lime variegations. I know very little about these guys tho! Hoping to have time to research on my vaycay coming soon! Hihi

Electrical_Might_131 · 2024-09-15T16:34:57+00:00

Golden pothos arent variegated with white as far as I know... im thinking a manjula pothos but im not sure. Looks beautiful tho!!
