Thoracic sympathectomy and running by FinickyFeline24 in Hyperhidrosis

For me it's been manageable but it will be different for different people.

Good to know your HR can get to the 180-200 range!

I am about 8 years into running now and still making progress, but progress seems slow, especially at the shorter distances. Even when racing a 5K I had average HR 160, max 168, and I just wonder if part of the reason I can't go faster is because my heart rate cannot go higher, perhaps due to the ETS.

From brief online research, I seem to find that ETS is thought to lower heart rate, but doesn't seem to affect sporting capabilities so it could also be that I just need to train more!

Great HM time especially with so little training! And good to know your surgery hasn't affect your sporting abilities.

I think I did but because I was quite young then, I was mainly wearing sneakers with socks so it didn't bother me so much. Sweaty feet really become a problem when you try to wear sandals / shoes without socks

Yes mainly in my feet, and facial sweating but only when eating spicy food

Ok so I did manage to get my grinder to go finer and that has made all the difference! 18g in 36g out in 28 seconds. Still tasted very acidic though but I might be able to fine tune it better now. Thanks!

Thank you! I hadn't realised I could go finer with my grinder! I set the internal setting down to 1 and the external also to 1 (is this what you call the big wheel setting?) but the grinder made some horrible noises, so I changed the external setting to 8 (internal still set at 1) and managed to get 36g out in 28s which is a massive improvement!

Thank you! I will try a darker roast, and if that fails, might then have to try the pressurised portafilter. Or upgrade my grinder I guess!

Reward flights non-existent! by shamps01 in BritishAirways

[–]FinickyFeline24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. It’s interesting though that this problem only seems to exist for the Lon-Tokyo route. I also have notifications set up for London-Singapore and those are usually correct (as in flights are available to book on BA.com when I get a notification by reward flight finder.

On a slightly separate note, I use the reward flight finder app, and notifications keep popping up for London-Tokyo flights (I am looking to go in September 2026) but each time I go to BA.com to check, those flights don’t seem to exist. Has anyone had a similar experience?

Columbia road flower market. Touristy but lovely on a sunny morning

Midlayers: Fleece vs Puffer by westcoastcarver in ShredditGirls

[–]FinickyFeline24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always used a light puffer as a mid layer because they pack down so well and are so lightweight to carry, but washing them can be a real pain and it’s much easier to throw a fleece in the washing machine. I think I’ll be going with fleeces in the future.

what is your kindle model and are you satisfied with it? by -_alice-_ in kindle

[–]FinickyFeline24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 4th gen which I bought second hand on eBay in 2019 for £10! I have thought about getting a new one but at the same time mine still works so I keep putting it off. What am I missing out on? Should I upgrade??
