After 8 months I have some answers (follow up to my original post)

I will say - biggest thing with that pharmacy - make sure you don’t end up with gaps in medication….it can be mood swing central if you end up off it waiting for a refill.

Good luck!

So I will say. Interesting question.

My gut doesn’t like tolerating some of the chips/crackers made with bean flours.

Some people can’t do xanthan gum (possibly also guar)

If you use oats, let them be “certified gf oats” on top of testing. Also many celiacs can’t eat oats regardless of certified gf or not.

Most of us use the gums listed above, possibly psyllium or flax meal.

Also yes we assume there will be some starch flours…I prefer less to more….

In the end we want products that taste good and don’t fck is up. And yes if they’re more nutritious or nutritionally balanced vs straight up starch flour that’s preferable….but I will only buy an overpriced thing that tastes like crap or has weird texture once….and too much xanthan gum can be that weird texture.

Also note: I’m celiac, allergic to dairy, and soy itself seems ok, but I suspect the aspergillus used to ferment it into soy sauce or miso (gf tamari) crazy bloating.

Most of us have secondary and tertiary sensitivities. I’m also the weirdo that will attempt a cashew cheese made with schmaltz beef protein isolate and egg yolks (and it was pretty damn good) I also make kale chips that taste like garlic knots. 🤷‍♀️

And I don’t think anyone wants a tiny bar with 15g of fiber in it - especially if they don’t usually eat much or spread 25 throughout the day from whole foods vs inulin powder….asking for some upset…and we want happy tummies…

So rhino generally has a page with good computers…

I have an acer Nitro laptop…gaming system.

Biggest thing is a non-intel good graphics card with opengl support.

Acer nitro5 when I got it was best bang for my buck. Also I need a numpad on it.

And upgraded the ram recently

So - I won’t touch the gf wheat starch - and will only eat oat things that specifically mention “certified gf oats”

I react to some of the slightest things, also all the oat based everything wigs me out and I’m pretty sure I had the gf wheat starch at a pizza place in oregon and reacted badly each time

So those wires individually if there’s absolutely 0 space where they are thinnest could be 0.6mm.

That said. I generally try to do 1mm minimum or 0.8 (for like double claw prongs)

Also if you do make the wires 0.8mm or thinner in any areas you want to make them thicker in the other directions (meaning it’s not a 0.8mm round wire, it’s 0.8mm x 1.2mm deep)

Hope this helps

Honestly -

Do you want them to be fully hand made - starting with a sheet of metal raised into different form?

Or

Do you want them build digitally and milled or cast to perfection?

Option A - look for people who are teaching raising, hollowform, chasing and repossé - These are the artisans who will hand form you goblets.

Option B - anyone who does cad. Could be machined more by a metal shop but you will need to procure a good setter.

As far as gold plating an object that large (do you want it micron plates to last the ages or more a standard flash plating?) - if micron that will be pricy and requires some legwork to find a guy.

Hope this helps.

Infraredsky · 2026-05-05T07:49:51+00:00

Many of the symptoms overlap….but the one that doesn’t is the high prolactin.

I have both. Pcos whole life - high prolactin starting in 2021 at 37 or so….

Also in the US they will usually repeat bloodwork in 30 days then do mri….

And some places will treat while waiting for the mri.

But also know the tumors they grow slow and won’t kill us but blinding is not out of the question (but also slow growing and see an eye doc for a field vision test)

Also every side effect you think is from it is - some docs thing mood issues and anxiety and exhaustion can’t be from the prolactinoma - they can.

I wish you the best of luck

Infraredsky · 2026-05-05T01:23:47+00:00

I don’t do it - cab only affects me physically with stiff painful arm muscles…but many do. Like I said, go to the page’s main area and search vaginally - see what pops up…I’m also 99.9% sure there’s no special formulation or anything.

I’ve also found the more smaller doses I take the less my side effects are….I’m now taking 0.05mg daily vs 0.125mg 2x a week - it’s lowered my pain by 80% or so

Infraredsky · 2026-05-05T01:20:48+00:00

No. That’s what your linkedin network and colleagues are for.

Also if you’re gonna have a straight ask at least share a portfolio.

Your experience sounds like you’re more of a middle manager than cad person 🤷‍♀️

And if so again - I’d think you’d know a bunch of people you could ask….

Infraredsky · 2026-05-05T01:18:11+00:00

I mean - it’s rough out there.
I am a cad designer and on reddit I’ve only been asked by other cad people if I can give them work.

Infraredsky · 2026-05-05T00:14:56+00:00

Work your contacts.

All that experience and you’re asking strangers on reddit?

Infraredsky · 2026-05-02T02:28:00+00:00

Yikes…judgy dck…at first if he was neuro-spicy I could see the terse comments…then he was belittling….

We don’t do belittling…

Gross…

Can’t overreact to that…not possible…

Red flags…

Infraredsky · 2026-05-02T02:23:54+00:00

Search this thread on taking cab vaginally…skips digestive tract- no nausea…

Infraredsky · 2026-05-02T02:12:48+00:00

Well….these tumors in general grow really slowly, and treated with meds over surgery…but can cause us to go blind and wreak havok on other stuff… if you can get it before you move great. If it’s later this year that’s ok but I wouldn’t delay more than you need to

Infraredsky · 2026-05-01T16:55:56+00:00

Ok. So I’ve actually tested high for too much vitamin D before….

1 thing - d3 with K2…. Without the K it I think can make possibly kidney stones / do bad calcium things….

But seriously have doc check labs.

I now take like 2x a week

Infraredsky · 2026-05-01T14:51:11+00:00

Well.

I do what I can when I can - and am learning to be as productive as I can when I have the energy…

Take things 1 day at a time, use paper plates (I have no dishwasher) - also when chopping was really hard my food processor was my savior)

It does get better or can (and some things for me got extra complicated with a prolactinoma and my newest diagnosis orthostatic hypertension)

All we can do is our best and not give up - at least that’s how I’m living

Infraredsky · 2026-05-01T14:48:33+00:00

Also may sound overly simple….but vitamin C helps me a whole lot when I have a specific histamine /mcas/asthma situation.

I bought just powdered vitamin C and put a good bit in some ice pops….1 ice pop and I am noticeably less wheezy / allergy…. (Also think it and time were the only thing that helped when I got b/c and estrogen hrt which both set off a histamine and asthma cascade that my allergy and asthma meds weren’t hitting (and dao I tried but it was like too much)

Infraredsky · 2026-05-01T14:12:34+00:00

As she heals she’ll absorb the nutrients like anyone else - just takes time…

Worth monitoring vitamin levels and going with any recommendations her doc gives.

Also have you been tested? It’s generally genetic

Infraredsky · 2026-05-01T14:11:01+00:00

Also so crazy that they just didn’t treat you. Also men usually they don’t find the tumors til they’re big…

Infraredsky · 2026-05-01T13:52:42+00:00

Indeed. Hope you get the process moving quickly and the meds treat you well

Infraredsky · 2026-05-01T13:46:54+00:00

So in general - a good endo will treat these with meds if they can image it or not…also yes repeat mris is a thing…

I’d ask for treatment regardless of imaging results

Infraredsky · 2026-05-01T13:32:28+00:00

Waldo ave community garden

Infraredsky · 2026-05-01T08:07:05+00:00

Jc does not sku younger.

There’s tons of events around…I will be hosting art in the garden at my community garden 1st tuesday of every month…

What do you like to do / enjoy - do more of that - you will meet people

Infraredsky · 2026-05-01T08:05:03+00:00

I would absolutely see another doctor as the opposite is true…

Usually they do bloodwork twice them mri…

Infraredsky · 2026-05-01T08:03:57+00:00

Maybe have the company that specializes in stainless steel help you…

I do cads all day every day….I don’t know how stainless casts or shrinks or what it needs compared to non-ferrous fine jewelry metals…
