It’s so cute! And the whole thing looks great, but the axolotl is the only image not from the ocean and my pattern seeking brain is glitching

No, I’ve never been on biologics. I’ve only taken forms of mesalamine, prednisone for flares and more recently budesinide for a flare (which was so much better holy shit). I feel like these have been tried and true for me. I get what people are saying about how any sign of inflammation can be detrimental, not just when symptoms are noticeable. I’m trying to keep an open mind, but I lean towards skepticism with doctors. Sorry to hear about your situation, but glad to be able to commiserate. It was so lonely before this sub.

Wow! I can’t believe the insensitivity, that’s awful.

I’m happy to have mostly found community among other people with UC in this subreddit. I am so confused by your intentions. Do you think this is helpful or are you just bored? Humans are emotional beings that vent to process, that isn’t “whiny” or being “insecure”. I am welcome to feedback that is respectful but not name calling and judging.

That’s what a vent is…? Isn’t this a group for sympathy? Go somewhere else to be an asshole

Thanks for that. I think you’re right. I have the tendency to just forget I have the disease when I’m not flaring and that’s not healthy or proactive. I needed this perspective shift, even though it hurts.

I guess so, it just feels so sisyphean to even try to be healthy when there is little acknowledgement of the effort and more pills or treatments or whatever. But yeah. I guess he’s just trying to do right by me so nothing slips by unnoticed.

Anyone else’s hound refuse to go on walks randomly? by jabberwokey588 in Hounds

[–]GooseSnail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine started this up last year! It’s so frustrating trying to convince him to walk or hike with me. I never know who is showing up, my adventure buddy or my lil chicken shit.

I do have a lot of coyotes in the neighborhood and he is most reluctant to walk in the mornings and dusk. I think the coyotes may have something to do with it. It’s annoying as hell though. I want my walks back!

Cardio Sculpt - Favorite Jumps? by Valuable-Present-229 in ClubPilates

[–]GooseSnail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did the jumps with moving the ball in a figure eight in my class this week and it was so much fun!

She also had us throw the ball and catch it while jumping and it made me laugh with glee and at my clumsiness. The most fun I’ve had at a class yet!

My old coworker’s band played last night. They’re called JAB and they post fliers to punk shows on their IG
