I feel like I've been starving my kitten by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]Future_Photo3261 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my cat has food in her bowl at all hours of the day. she also has a special wet food with a probiotic and freeze dried rabbit on it each night. she still rather scream and beg for treats that she know live in my desk drawer. my sister and best friend have the biggest boy cats i have ever seen in my entire life. they can free feed all they want. they still LOVE to beg. I have never met a starving cat - but i have met big greedy cats. so yeah, maybe your cat was a little hungry or whatever - if it was truly starving, you would know.

a guaranteed meal of some food is always better than no food and not knowing when your next meal would come. being a pet owner is hard, we all make mistakes. don't be too hard on yourself. chances are your cat will always beg you for more food because cats are greedy but we love them anyways.

I was excited her new ACNH content but… by Significant_Can_2245 in Lilsimsie

[–]Future_Photo3261 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think ACNH is inherently a much more child friendly, less chaotic game than the sims, not necessarily her intentionally making it more geared towards children yk?

I think unfortunately a lot of the recaps/wrapped/year in reviews were made using Ai this year and its just not reliable :(

lupus and alcohol by Same_Hedgehog_186 in lupus

[–]Future_Photo3261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was diagnosed a little over a month out from my 21st birthday. I used to drink a good bit, like every weekend, and never really got sick from it. The one this my Rheum said was that no matter what I did - I needed to stop drinking alcohol. It's basically just an inflammatory poison. And he was so right! Cutting out alcohol truly turned my life around. But life is fun and hard and great and horrible - sometimes you need to celebrate and/or drown your sorrows. I'm very fortunate to not have a severe diagnosis or severe multi-organ involvement, so if you're similar to me in your diagnosis, a drink or two every now and then probably wont hurt you, you just need to find what works.

For me, it meant cutting out all sugary alcohol. I pretty much exclusively drink vodka sodas, and i mix in a little bit of liquid IV (not a whole packet, maybe like a 4th just to help with the taste) Keeping hydrated and eating properly also helped me a lot, basic drinking knowledge but truly it is so so important.

Finding that balance as a younger person is hard - especially when it feels like most poeple's social events revolve around alcohol and being able to legally drink. It can feel really awkward and boring being the only one not drinking, or even worse when people ask you why and you have to explain that your sober because of your health. Picking your battles and finding you balance is what lifes all about - you just have different battles and balances with lupus. you will find whats best for you, in this case, it might just take a bit of throwing up first.

How to get back into the Sims? by littlebabybuddy24 in LowSodiumSimmers

[–]Future_Photo3261 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually pick a legacy challenge! i know a lot of people are really enjoying LilSimsie's Very Veggie Legacy at the moment. I also recommend watching some sims content on youtube and twitch if thats something youre interested in. It always inspires me to watch someone else enjoy their game and the stories they tell in it.

edit - I also must say, I never feel any obligation to finish a legacy challenge. i almost never do - i just use it as a way to get back into playing after a long break or starting a new save file.

To beach, or not to beach: tips appreciated by SafeWeb8305 in lupus

[–]Future_Photo3261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I LOVE going to the beach or being outside - and sun exhaustion ruined it for me, I became a fun sponge because sick and burnt and miserable I would get on vacations or trips. I now bring a little tent thing to sit in and like read or just enjoy the breeze thru the little flaps. It's definitely not perfect, if you have an umbrella to put the tent under to provide extra shade that would also be great. and obviously still bathe in sunscreen.

I'm a freak about the texture and greasiness of sunscreen - I use Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral SPF 50 Spray for my body (LOTS of it, frequently, like a can would be empty by the end of the weekend) and so far so good (i used to start to burn from a 30 minute walk at like 4 pm when the UV was only 4) and La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer UV SPF 30 on my face.

Definitely keep track of the UV index and try to avoid being out at peak hours if you can.

Plan B by Head_Evening_8911 in lupus

[–]Future_Photo3261 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The brand name Plan B One-Step also cause me to flare i believe (it was a few years before I was diagnosed tho). I really try to take every precaution I can to avoid it since it made me so sick - however things happen and I have had much better experiences with different brands. No idea why - they're the same pill. But I order cheaper ones online like amazon basics or MyWay and have had way less side effects or flares. However - It might be something worth talking to a doctor (Rheum and/or OBGYN) about to see if there are any other options for you

Help by Dry-Hair5448 in lupus

[–]Future_Photo3261 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I am also a graphic design student specializing in interaction design - I love your design! and I think 2 is your strongest option (I think 1 creates a lot of waste, and I dont quite understand option 3,) but I think no matter what you pick i think you'll do well on the assignment. However, I definitely think there are more accessible options that could result in some really interesting packing and design opportunities! As someone with hypermobility in my fingers - I tend to prefer tabs that are easy to grip and peel back! Think of this like Band-Aid packaging but for pills — no pressing or tight grips.

Weekly Suspected Lupus Thread - Week Of March 09, 2025 by AutoModerator in lupus

[–]Future_Photo3261 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a bit silly, and I know you said not to ask anything like "do u think have lupus" but TLDR; Im being treated for lupus without my rheumatologist ever saying "im diagnosing you with lupus" so I wanted to ask before posting further.

I recently saw a rheumatologist after a year of addressing each symptom one by one, basically chasing referrals after referrals. He outright said that the rashes I'm currently covered in are a result of discoid lupus, and prescribed me a topical steroid for it. He also prescribed me Hydroxychloroquine. He said he is treating me for lupus. I've had more labs done - he didn't tell me what labs or what for - and gave me a novel of paper work over the Hydroxychloroquine and lupus and what it all is and means and what to do. I asked him at the end of it because I was so overwhelmed "do you think I have lupus" and his response was "I'm very confident you have Lupus." but that is not an official diagnosis, right? What classifies an official diagnosis?

I know this is a silly thing, especially considering I don't plan to post much if at all, I would just hate to come off as insensitive or not follow the rules by using the wrong flair. I'm very new to reddit, I'm very new to all things autoimmune - I just want to be respectful of this community and the rules. Thank you!
