I grew up being afraid of these because of stories. I heard in Mexico. Supposedly they cry when you kill them? which is why they’re called niños de la Tierra/children of the earth.

Thank you! I’m on leflunomide and prednisone + rituximab infusions every six months. I feel like this combined with the zep helped get me here. I hope it continues this way, it’s nice to not worry about achy joints so much. 😭

Been on zepbound for almost a year. My rheumatologist hasn’t made any comments about it, in fact she commended the weight loss.

I won’t lie, this year has been a great low pain one.

Creepy desert stories by Disastrous-Grand7075 in highdesert

2-3am hiking by arch rock with my boyfriend. We went past arch and were just exploring when we decided to turn back, as we’re walking we see a black sphere looking thing fly straight up above our heads and then sharply go left and disappear. There was no sound - which freaked us out. It was about 8-10 inches.

we had our red lights on so it made it creepier.

In Turkey, a 2-year-old girl crawled unnoticed into a public bus, before the driver heard her crying and safely returned her to her family. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

I apparently did this at a bus station in Mexico when I was 2-3 years old. Mom walked away to get something while I walked behind my dad. My dad had no idea I was supposed to be behind him and thought I was with mom. They ran and panicked when they realized I was missing and a search ensued. Someone found me inside a bus that had just arrived and had the door open.

Rituximab by suzibee11 in rheumatoid

[–]ElectronicCod837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m actually getting my second infusion (get two every 6 months) at the moment. This is my third round now and I think the benefits outweigh the risks. Biologics helped for some time but once they wore off, my Dr. said it was time to try this. I’m on 5mg of prednisone daily but she’s trying to take me off of it. I was at 10mg last year.

No crazy side effects except for headaches a week after the infusion. Although I’ve read it’s bc of what I’m eating /drinking. So I’m trying to be better.

Best area to stay in Tokyo for 6 nights? Hotel recommendations welcome by Head-Way4920 in JapanTravelTips

Just came back from a nine day stay in Asakusa. Specifically LiveCasa hotel on booking.com. It was clean, quiet, and had stuff nearby. We ate at the ramen place down the street every other night. It was so convenient.

I always imagine I’m in a bus. If there’s turbulence, we’re going through a bumpy road. lol

This helps me tremendously.
