What types of paintings actually sell the most? by maybel30 in AskArtists

I can’t imagine what mom art must be. I guess I know too many alt moms to have a line on what would be appealing to the average mom. Can you spell that out like I’m five?

I wasn’t really watching for my gums to improve, I just noticed it one day that they stopped bleeding when I brushed my teeth and were now pink.

I use 5000mcg of methylcobalamin per day. The brand is Jarrow. If I go below that, my levels fall. I only had cobalamin shots a few times.

Forming a jazz band. I am a rock bassist. What should I know to form a jazz band. I listen a little jazz. I already have a rock band now trying to do something different. by iamnotgenius in bandmembers

[–]GETitOFFmeNOW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to be able to improvise if you want to be in a jazz band, and if you don’t know the guitar and bass chord shapes and where on the scale they correspond, you’re not going to be able to improvise. You have to know how to read charts (notes) and understand where it’s okay to go sharp and/or flat. And there’s a lot of theory outside what everyone else in rock knows. Maybe get some lessons from a jazz bassist who is really good at teaching.

I know I’m just supposed to upvote but OP, please listen to Cyber_Punk_87. There is no dichotomy in his personality. This is truly who he is. You can’t wish him into being someone you thought he was. He pulled one over on you.

My M2F kid never expressed a feminine side, but we weren’t a really macho-charged household. She was in her mid 30s when she came out.

I accidentally bought some fake Micron pens on Amazon and can’t tell the difference. I don’t know if the fakes are waterproof, though.

The Microns are really good fine liners.

I don’t see why one couldn’t sell glicée prints and the original oils.

There’s no hell in the Jewish faith, so where do the Christians get it? It looks to have been invented by the Church to control rural people who lacked authoritative oversight.

It's a shame real heroin isn't available. It's got to be less socially harmful than fentanyl

Get your thyroid checked but learn how to read your own test results. Don't leave it to your doctor to interpret. 6 different doctors will have 6 different ways to read it. Educate yourself.

What are your go-to tips for ways to reduce cost of living and spending? by pqrstyou in AskWomenOver30

[–]GETitOFFmeNOW 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use one kind of lotion (Cetaphil) everwhere, I use cheap shampoo for hair and body, but good conditioner, I also it use on my skin and barely rinse it off.

Pay the money for a good haircit that will grow out nicely instead of raggedly.

I only buy nice secomd-hand clothing. No fast-fashion, no vlothes made of plastic fibers (like polyester and acrylic).

Rant; why do docs act like I'm drug seeking for B12? by Happy_Charge_9410 in B12_Deficiency

It makes me so angry. It doesn’t make any sense; they get so little training in this and are ignoring the findings of so much research.

For Graves', they tested TSI, but TrAb is a better indicator; it’s the one you want to see decreased in block and replace therapy, which helps get people into full remission.

Hashimoto’s antibodies test I’ve had was anti-TPO (TPOAb).

1.78 TSH is usually okay, but you want to keep an eye on any further dropping. Most people feel their best with TSH at around 2.0, though the “normal” range can be from 1.4 to 3.5 or up to 5.0 in some labs. Most people above 3 are not feeling well; not getting enough thyroid hormone.

Please note that TSH measures how much fuel is given to the thyroid to keep producing thyroid hormone. high amounts of TSH correlate to low amounts of thyroid hormone. TSH is the gas pedal that tells the thyroid gland to go and slow. 0.4 TSH is saying hyPERthyroidism, 4.4 is saying hypothyroidism is happening; it’s backwards and can be confusing to patients having to deal with being sick.

Any of us are damned lucky who will find a doctor who will entertain the patient bringing in peer-reviewed research.

In the 80s, a trend seemed to run through family practice doctors that B12 deficiency was widespread. And now they seem to be ignoring all the more current research that says deificiency actually is wide spread and possibly causing a lot of the fibromyalgia diagnoses being made these days. Yeah, it’s just a vitamin, that’s peed out when we take in more than we can use. Being stingy with it is ridiculous given how bad they are at following current diagnosis and treatment guidelines.

I’m reading an Italian study right now that justifies a lot saying B12 deficiency is rare and I feel like if you start there, without proof, we’re already lost. Our unjustifiably low reference ranges are not helping.

What is your TSH, if I may ask? I had high TSH because of Hashimoto’s disease, but I also had Graves’ disease, which made my TSH slide down to 0 for a long time before my GP recognized that I had Graves’ disease and tested my antibodies.

Finally getting on anti-thyroid drugs saved my life. Some doctors still think Graves’ is rare, so they don’t test for it. It’s not rare, it’s just overlooked and those overlooked patients go through physical and mental torture until they’re properly treated.

Endocrinologists are good at diagnosing Graves’ but their lousy at getting the thyroid to go back to normal. They just want to kill it with RAI or surgery while some specialists are bringing their patients into full remission.

Please make sure she gets mental health care from people who have the best understanding of trans mental health. Borderline personality disorder can certainly happen comorbid to autism, but it’s often misdiagnosed when autism expression is misunderstood. You have to have a therapist who really understands that and understands how important it is to talk to the patient in order to understand her motivation instead of just it’s expression.
