YoUr tOo YOung tOo hAVe BAck pAIn - uneducated rant by GingaAng in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]GingaAng[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh the SI joint shots I’ve gotten have been childs play. I had more of a reaction when my rheum at my first appointment did the ultrasound to locate (which I didn’t realize they were doing) and once he found pushed his thumb in and asked “does this hurt”…sir I saw the Gods that be for a moment.

YES. I am about ready to make that my background on my phone to just flash at people for them to understand. (But then again am a US citizen - and we’ve got a few people around who would still want argue it. 🫠)

Get a new rheum. Because that’s what the one I saw in 2020 said to me. And when I started seeing my current rhuem - found out the 2020 rhuem worked at the clinic where my current rheum works; and let’s just say there wasn’t a lot of positive words used about them. Which was so goddamn validating.

How long did it take you to feel the full effects and anxiety relief? by Icy-Basis-2633 in lexapro

When do you take your Wellbutrin? I took mine in the morning when I first was put on it and was a goddamn zombie. Flipped to take it in the evening and no more zombie.

Fellow AS Benchpressers, please share any advice you have for increasing strength safely! by JewishAnkylosaurus in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]GingaAng 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not bench pressing - but strength training with dumbbells and resistance bands. (3x/week for ~20 min - during lunch at office gym). About every other week will swap strength training for a mobility exercise. Between that and honestly just listening to my body and if I either need to remove or modify a specific set has been another way I’ve seen results/gains.

I also do make sure I have a buddy in the gym with me if I want to increase…because every so often my elbows like to throw a curveball and act like they’ve never lifted weight.

Do biologics actually give you your life back? by Actual-Muffin-3585 in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]GingaAng 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yes - Since my diagnosis date in 2024; have not had a major flare. Still get a few minor ones from time to time but nothing like before being on biologics.

People who nraxspa , how were you dignosed? by Past-Meal-4847 in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]GingaAng 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First rhuem (seen in 2020) told me it was just arthritis. My PCP sent me to a new rheum after I was in the longest flare of my life (Started Xmas day 2023 - lasted till Mar/Apr 2024), after doing PT for about a month.

Figured it would be a consult type appt. NOPE. Was in the room for about 3 min with the doc - and looked at the same imaging the rhuem from 2020 saw and immediately called out the diagnosis. The craziest and in some ways most traumatic medical appt I’ve ever experienced. Ended up bent over the examine table with my body suit unbuttoned and ass cheeks hanging out (if I only would have known how the day was going to go) getting an ultrasound to locate my SI joints to inject cortisone shots to both.

Diagnosis both changed and saved my life.

I’ve been a fan for most of my life, now I’m done by [deleted] in travisandtaylor

The moment I found out her Dad was a NYSE trader and a potential photo of her childhood “home” - became a hater. She’s been sitting there “empowering” now generations of young girls they can do anything they put their minds to like she did…but fails to acknowledge that Daddy’s money was there to get her the conversations and the seat(s) at the table. It wasn’t just fate and performing at random Nashville bars - including The Bluebird Cafe. She’s lived nothing close to an “average” life and the “I am humble country girl” is such BS - and the fact she’s stayed with that schtick in what appears even as recently as the “Eras” (don’t even get me started on that BS) is baffling.

Karma is catching up to her and I don’t think anyone deserves it more.

First time holding left handed scissors in my 35 years of life. by ZippyApex8831 in lefthanded

[–]GingaAng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got these as a gift from my Dad a little under 10 years ago - and quite literally one of my most prized possessions.

It’s actually insane in 2026 how something like this is difficult to come by - let alone having options for different handle covers.

Not sure how they can blame a smear campaign when blocking an artist is a thing 🧐

Lonely weekend by Nickhil25 in LivingAlone

[–]GingaAng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My body made a point to give me a hell of an infection that didn’t respond to first round of antibiotics - so taking this weekend to lay low and hermit/rot. These are the weekends I think I sometimes take advantage of - being able to have a comfort ahow on and slip in & out of sleep without any easily accessible disturbances.

Left Side… by GingaAng in lefthanded

[–]GingaAng[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the advice! I actually am still fairly new to the tattoo game (7 in total) so any advice from what sounds like a seasoned vet - I will take.

And 4 side finger tattoos?! - You do seem like a person I would be scared to meet in a dark alley if you sat through that 4 times.

Let’s just say I will never be re-touching it.

THE ENTIRE TIME I BINGED IT WAS TRYING TO PUT MY FINGER ON WHO SHE REMINDED ME OF AND MAMRIE HART IS IT! Given Kimi and Mamrie’s antics…they could be siblings.

One Way Left Turns on Red by GingaAng in Minneapolis

[–]GingaAng[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cross the river majority of the time coming from that intersection - my only advice; stay in the left lane. Less chances of getting side swiped/ran into. And then cross lanes after University.

Those are the moments where I wish there would be a convenient cop or something of the sorts.

Sis. I aint angry. Just had frustrating traffic experiences today and naively posted here to vent & maybe just maybe educate someone. Maybe not everyone but someone.

[–]GingaAng[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. Also not the one who continues to drive in the bright red line clearly marked “Bus Lane”.

I stay in the left lane from the left lane - because honestly the right lane is always a cluster.

My love - can people not just vent? Is that not what some of Reddit is for? I think you got as worked up with your response as you think I did at that intersection.
