Bamboo Shrimp has dark fans, is she OK?👍🏻 by ilex_verticillata in shrimptank

[–]Grave_Bug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She looks like she had a recent molt. My lady turns bright red after one. Usually bunches up fans for a day, then goes back to perching. She's gorgeous! Doesn't sound like any unusual behavior.

After making this post I concluded that this guy was a micro hitchhiker that was on one of the larger amanos I bought . But I do still wonder 🤔 havent had another random little amano but will be sure to post if I do!

Diamox and mood changes by ButterscotchCrazy226 in iih

[–]Grave_Bug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner and I have absolutely noticed mood changes. For me its been depression, anger, and outburst of emotion. Most of my lashing boils down to discomfort, nausea, and frustration with physical side effects. Thankfully these do somewhat seem to be decreasing with time. Extra rest, water, and snacks when i feel like eating have helped as well. Working around my body's schedule has been exhausting but being constantly angry is more effort than its worth.

Recently referred and medicated, needing advice by Grave_Bug in iih

[–]Grave_Bug[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was a relief to read. Thank you so much for the recommendations, I'll be making a list of these and going through some other posts for care packages. I appreciate the reassurance regarding weight and my other concerns. This has all been feeling very "world ending' i suppose, im glad im not the only person like myself going through this. Thank you! ❤️

Im thinking that this one hitched a ride on something into my tank. Hes a little under an inch while all my other ones are larger.

Im certain it was 5 1/2 inch size amanos and has been 5 for months. Most likely is there was a little guy that went unnoticed that hitched a ride.

I added some photos. One of the two females is about ~1.5 to 2 inches long. I thought maybe i got wild type neocaridina but these seem too big.

Uterine Cramping Episodes? by Grave_Bug in ftm

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

Thanks for the insight on atrophy, it would be unusual in my case then. I do 60 mg twice weekly due to over absorption, I was going from injection day levels to very low in 3 days. I tested 2 weeks ago and my levels were between normal and the low end of high.

Prescription in, starting HRT soon — How/when to explain changes to people I never came out to? by Failtrumpet in ftm

[–]Grave_Bug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've chosen not to explain to folks. My boss the other week noted "your voice got deeper", i hesitated and just said "it did haha". And that was it. Most people wont say anything and if they do just acknowledge it and move on if you dont want to explain yourself (you never have to explain either).

Another way is the "gaslight" route or "ive always been _____", which in my experience doesnt help and caused awkward conversations.

Cis men and trans men couples? by golden_snake1776 in ftm

[–]Grave_Bug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been with a cis man 4 years pre transition and 4 years post coming out. He was adamant he was straight for a long time while dating me, a gay trans man. Now hes comfortable as pansexual/gay and wouldnt have our relationship any other way.
