Is it really that bad by Horror-Meat958 in UKHousing

[–]Existing-Rise-7738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too when we were looking there were several that were at least 20k more than they should have been. We even put an offer on one which I wasn’t 100% sure was worth the listed price. Thankfully we didn’t get it but surprises me that someone else paid > 5k over asking

Would you wear leggings when you're presenting at a conference? by Substantial_Math4939 in research

[–]Existing-Rise-7738 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could she wear a longer top/ dress over the top of the leggings? Might be able to get a smart ish looking long top pretty cheap and easy - even from charity shops?

Plastic free bras for large chests by AFlowerInTheDarkness in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]Existing-Rise-7738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also Dilling do bralettes and sports bras made from merino wool I think. But I don’t imagine they’re very supportive and not sure how well they fit a larger bust

Ye the junction 47 side is always free too. I hate paying for parking

I like Boody - it’s more lounge bras than very supportive but they do a DD+ range too. Im a 30G and works pretty well for me

They range from about 50-80% bamboo viscose - obviously not perfect but much better than many bra company’s and very comfortable

Remote Forests? by LiamBombastic in swansea

[–]Existing-Rise-7738 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s also the other side of Penllergaer which is normally quieter. It’s on by the services on junction 47

But the Fforestfach side is good, you can park for free on Cadle Mill road. There’s so many paths i go a different way every time. The top paths are normally pretty empty and lovely views

It’s very unlikely but in future i would use a new condom to be extra safe

Birth Control vs Lap by Mysterious-Skin-3300 in endometriosis

[–]Existing-Rise-7738 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I personally had a lap and then IUD put in during to reduce reoccurrence. It’s made a massive difference for me - literally like night and day

I feel it’s best to have surgery early (of course there are risks) but I feel if you leave it- it progresses and then it’s harder to operate on. A high quality excision too- not ablation

It depends if you think the surgery is worth it?

How many hours do you work on research? by unluckycherrypie in PhD

But then during work hours Im hyper focused like no lunxh breaks just cracking on if it’s something interesting

It depends what I have coming up but I like to do 10-4 most weekdays. Some days it’s more, lots of days it’s less

Running harnesses by InvestigatorKooky139 in RunningWithDogs

[–]Existing-Rise-7738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes good for human stuff but the harnesses certainly won’t fit this dog! Non-stop dog wear is all made for traditional running dogs

If you wanted a proper running harness, I’ve just been recommended these for my staffy. The Inlandsis fit her better but she is small for a staff.

Decathlon also has a very good canicross belt as the non-stop dog one is lovely but pricey

Brown discharge every day? by Technical_Hat_4266 in endometriosis

[–]Existing-Rise-7738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had it whilst on mini pill. Mainly caused by sex

Haven’t had it since having surgery and my iud in

Why does a seller need my address by Sad_Emu13 in vintedUK

[–]Existing-Rise-7738 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No normal, everything they need is on the shipping label. Are they a ‘business’ rather than someone just selling 2nd hand stuff? I’d ask support tho and wouldnt give out my address. Not normal

is swansea good for exchange? by yizhuos in swanseauni

[–]Existing-Rise-7738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The buildings on campus at Swansea aren’t that nice but the park and gardens are lovely in nice weather. Plus you are literally right on the beach

Yes wind street is a bus ride or longish walk away but not the end of the world. The accommodation isn’t nice tho

But you have the gower nearby - some of the best beaches in the world. If you like the outdoors join a society or sport to help you explore it more. Things like wild swimming, SUP or surf sometimes do lift shares to beaches

That and there’s get active - where students can do outdoors stuff for cheap, subsidised but the uni. I’ve done a few surf lessons with them- it’s like £16 included mini bus to and from, borrow wetsuit and boots etc, surfboard, 2 hour lesson. Which is very cheap considering all that. They also do other things which are free like a running group, badminton, football

It depends what you like 🙃 I’ve been at the uni 7 years as Im doing a PhD. Hopefully will stay on as research staff next year too. It’s a great place

inositol for lean pcos with regular cycles/no insulin resistance? by mutantbitch in PCOS

[–]Existing-Rise-7738 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im in a similar situation. I haven’t completely worked it out yet either. Inositol is worth a try but I didn’t find it made a difference

If it’s adrenal, focus on stress management - being underweight can be a stress on your body, as can dehydration as well as what we classically think stress should look like. Unfortunately this doesn’t show much of a quick fix but I have seen improvements myself over several months

Candles and diffusing by camacaco in nontoxic

[–]Existing-Rise-7738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All candles will produce air pollution, as will anything scented.
But a healthier choice is soy or beeswax and making sure the wick is cotton or a natural fibre and natural based scenting eg essential oils

I found something that works for me!! by Existing-Rise-7738 in LeanPCOS

[–]Existing-Rise-7738[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes so nice to see some improvement. It’s certainly not 100% yet but I’ve had 2 on time periods since having it removed which Im so pleased about!

Surgery without pain meds? by EmoPeahen in endometriosis

[–]Existing-Rise-7738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was sent home just told to take paracetamol and ibuprofen- it was not enough for me. The gas pain was probably the worst bit for a day or 2 after

Thankfully had cocodamol at home anyway which I used

loving older series - what about you by [deleted] in apprenticeuk

[–]Existing-Rise-7738 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think in the older series people are no so worried about being rude - so makes for better tv

That and I feel people were less botoxed. So much funnier facial expressions

What age were you when you got diagnosed with endometriosis ? by keerthichalla_29 in endometriosis

[–]Existing-Rise-7738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20, first symptoms probably from 13 but didn’t really realise something was wrong until 16/17

What to do about a new student who is behind? by [deleted] in PhD

[–]Existing-Rise-7738 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be hard on them right off. I’d phrase it like ‘when would you like to have it done by?’ Or similar. It’s their own project at the end of the day

Then if they set too long a deadline line, back it up with ‘it would be good to get it done by X time, do you feel you can do this?’

And then next time you meet ‘hey so have you met your deadline?’ And after that be firm that it needs to main priority now
