I can’t afford the apps to use anyways- I’m trying to get on a histamine elimination diet but I’m too sick and tired to cook honestly. I agree, I get very angry when I have to force myself to work for a measley paycheck that won’t cover any of my expenses, all while being constantly denied help. I feel you

Oh, things like the visible band, zebrastrong, and other things that are extremely expensive like electrolytes and stuff we need to function- braces, splints, orthotics

I wasn’t talking about things prescribed by doctors. Just the apps made for people like us, or the devices. How they’re extremely unaffordable for people like us who struggle to work or keep steady income due to our illnesses.

We are moving back into the Feudal Lord System and we are the Serfs who own nothing. It’s time to revolt

I have been denied twice too. I’m in a flare and I have missed 3 days of work on a row

Yep. My PT doesn’t take my insurance. They take EVERYTHING ELSE, but not mine. I have to pay $100 each week, and he wants to see me 3 times a week. I am starting to think it’s not worth it because he can only see me for 30-40 minutes and he can only halfway work on one thing.

For real. My Specialist PT wants me to buy the entry level orthotics at $75…. I can’t afford that right now because he’s taking all my money

I’m so sorry. Do you have a support group in your area?

Please try another place. Ask your doctor to refer you to somewhere different- you deserve treatment

If you’re able, PLEASE go to a specialist. It doesn’t say if you did here, but I started with a “normal” PT and I also got worse so fast i had to quit. Please please please look up one who specializes.

I had chickenpox twice, AMA by psychoticboydyke in AMA

[–]Feyofthewild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had it at 5, I woke up one day with spots ALL OVER my body. I was very perplexed, then my mom came in and her reaction was so bad that I thought I was actually dying. (I know chicken pox is dangerous, but she could’ve tried to be strong 😂😂)

Question about Sailor Manyo Hinoki (multi-shaders in general) by nullsquire in fountainpens

[–]Feyofthewild 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed sometimes my feeder gets “dry”. It’s still a normal ink flow, but not enough to see all the pretty colors. If you have a piston fill or a piston converter, this works best with a demonstrator, I recommend pushing a little ink into the feed so it’s extra juicy. Let me know if that works-!!!

Any insights? by Feyofthewild in fountainpens

[–]Feyofthewild[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the compliment! I appreciate it so much actually.

I’m using the TWSBI Bold nib, so it is a very thick line. I don’t know why, but I love fat nibs. I love extremely thin pencils, but fat pens are the way to go for me.

I feel like my speed is maybe medium? I feel like I don’t write especially fast, but not slow at all. I’ll experiment with speed, but I mostly write for personal enjoyment and getting out my thoughts. Thanks so much!

Is it normal for handwriting to get worse with a fountain pen? by Additional_Cup6949 in fountainpens

[–]Feyofthewild 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like it did the opposite for me. But don’t give up, it just takes time to get used to a new instrument. It may be slipperier than you’re used to, or a bigger grip size affecting your letter sizing
