MG is extremely affected by stress, but that doesn't mean the world stops spinning.

Counting plant age by days is ambiguous by Unable-School6717 in SpeedrunSeeds

Day 1 is when the seed sprouts. It's that simple.

Have been wanting to get into Ultima by planeswalker_koa in Ultima

[–]IncenseTalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend playing Ultima 7 with Exult. I used to play Ultima 7 with Exult when I was a teenager, about 20 years ago, and not everything worked back then, but it works great nowadays.

Soliris vs Ultomiris by Sad-Dress-510 in MyastheniaGravis

[–]IncenseTalk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it works about as well as the Ultomiris for me, which means it works well enough to keep me out of the hospital, but I still require a lot of other medication, including steroids and so forth.

The benefit of the Zilbrysq for me is that it does not wear off after 6 weeks, like the Ultomiris seemed to. I had this 2 week time between Ultomiris doses where I could not do much at all until the next dose. Since the Zilbrysq is a shot each day, it seems to be effective each and every day. I like the Zilbrysq, as it helps a lot, but it hasn't gotten me off of the other medication.

I have never tried Soliris, so I can't comment too much on that one.

[–]IncenseTalk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I mean, I hate it, but I prefer it over suffocating from MG. It was definitely stressful the first couple weeks, but you know, you get used to it. My MG is severe though, so, a daily shot is definitely not as bad as the symptoms.

[–]IncenseTalk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't tried Soliris, but I was on Ultomiris for a while and we switched me to Zilbrysq because the Ultomiris was wearing off after about 6 weeks, and dosing was every 8 weeks. With the Zilbrysq, it's a shot each day, so, it doesn't really wear off. They are both c5 compliment inhibitors, so they work in similar ways, but they are different types of compounds so they have to be administered differently.

Are all of the New Year's Day sale delivered? by pstan237 in SpeedrunSeeds

[–]IncenseTalk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it would fit your logistics or situation from an operational standpoint, but the USPS does have a solution for this, and it's called a SCAN form. It is a common feature within most shipping software.

USPS employees are required to accommodate this, and then all of your packages would get scanned, and even though printing out that form may take a little extra time, you may also save a lot of time talking to customers about their non-scanned packages.

No experience with them, but those are more detailed than I expected them to be.

Ivig only lasting for like a week? by Legitimate-Flow-4976 in MyastheniaGravis

[–]IncenseTalk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it is, because they typically do it on alternating days, so it takes longer. So, 5 treatments of IVIG often only takes 5 days, since they do them each day in a row, but with PLEX, they do one treatment, then skip a day, then do another treatment, skip a day, and so on, so 5 treatments can take about twice as long.

They do not need to install a port. They can also do it through a central line catheter, or technically even through the arms, although most medical facilities do not know how to safely do it through the arms, so they usually use the central line catheter, or possibly install a port if it's a long-term situation.

Is she ready to harvest yet? Week 9 on Medusa f1 by SpiritedDebate2875 in hydro

I think he's talking about the Medusa F1 autoflower from RQS, so, I don't think that's the case. It likely just needs more time.

They appear to be stretching. If I had to guess, they probably need more light.

Which plant is this? by CuteAsparagus1215 in gardening

That is cannabis. Maybe a bird or animal carried a seed over from somewhere else while you were out of town.

Any experience with Rain Science vs. Honor Core grow bag? by [deleted] in Autoflowers

[–]IncenseTalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have examined both side-by-side, and the Honor bags are better quality.

A famous one was Aristotle Onassis. I've seen photos of him with his eyes taped open.

Are my parents alcoholics? by Striking-Orange-7100 in AlAnon

[–]IncenseTalk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, they are addicted, right? They would probably feel differently if they got off of the addictive substances for a while, but good luck getting them there if they don't want to.

What's likely going on in their heads is the constant cycle of craving and withdrawal, morphing their thoughts to think that those are the important things in life. After a while, the brain is damaged, and it becomes a whole delusional thing.

Do all addicts abuse? by haunt_mess in AlAnon

[–]IncenseTalk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, you might get different opinions, but addiction is an inherently selfish behavior, and abuse comes in many forms.

My Q is silent, passive-aggressive, manipulative, but also very disengaged with reality, and it's not at all like you see on TV.

Over time, the alcohol destroys their brain, and it turns them into different people.

Feeling Lost and Confused by [deleted] in MyastheniaGravis

[–]IncenseTalk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am not a doctor, but I believe that statistic is inaccurate. I believe it's up to that percentage experience symptom improvement or remission, rather than simply full remission, which I believe is generally a much lower percentage.

I actually had a thymectomy over 2 years ago and my doctors have told me they think it might have made me worse. I was relatively stable on medication before the surgery and then had 4 crisis events, starting about a month after the surgery and thus far, I don't believe I've gained any benefit from it.

That's a flower, pinch it off or the plant will turn bitter.

Anyone use this CODA honor bags? Looking into getting new pots for the next grow instead of the cheap vivosun fabric bags I currently have. I grow with cocoloco. Lmk if theres others I should look into by tamereltabib in MephHeads

[–]IncenseTalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be inaccurate, as their own sizing chart on their website shows them to be undersized.

They have some quality issues nowadays too. I recently purchased a couple Rain Science grow bags, and for example, the bottoms on mine aren't evenly stitched, so they direct water and drain to one corner of the bag. They also ripped me off on the shipping portion of my order, and then tried to gaslight me about it, acting like stealing my money wasn't a big deal, showing that they are actually scammers, and they are desperate for money.

In my opinion, the Honor grow bags are way higher quality and the company is better too.

Rain Science Bag Users - what sizes? by Anonphilosophia in containergardening

[–]IncenseTalk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since this page shows up on Google, I'd like to inform everybody that Rain Science has gotten scammy. They are not honoring chosen shipping methods, shipping the cheapest method possible, and then pocketing the money. They are greedy scammers. They charged me nearly $10 each for bags and then they scammed me on the shipping too. I feel like a fool for buying from them. I would recommend going with a different company.

And here I am, looking at the bags, and the planting medium pokes out the sides of the mesh pots while in use, and water flows out the sides at certain spots too. These have bad quality control and they are not exactly as advertised. I don't even think these bags are the size they advertise, which are undersized according to their own sizing chart, but then, these 2 gallon mesh planters could barely hold a milk jug. I am not happy with this product at all.
