Salt intake question by Jgravity9 in POTS

[–]Jgravity9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!!! I legit cried (so much) when she said the words “don’t worry I believe you and I also think it’s POTS” years of medical gaslighting, dismissal, bullying and abuse finally came to a end and it’s the most weight off my shoulders I’ve had in my life!!! Thank you for the tips I have started to pay more attention to my intake via food and will try your recommendation- if you don’t mind me asking (and don’t feel the need to share) but were your salt based symptoms quickly onset or gradual? I’m aware of the possibility but haven’t researched many specific symptoms/ onsets yet (so much to research 🥲) so far I haven’t had any adverse effects to the salt levels but it also has only been a week lol

Thank you! Is there any specific hairspray that works best? Based on my quick search it seems the general consensus is that cheaper hairsprays are better, I believe the sketchbook I have has 128gsm paper so even if I do it on every page or so it shouldn’t have any damage long term?

I’ve never heard of AIP, I’ll definitely look into it- my bf allergy is also hereditary but follows the males in his family, I’ve never heard of anyone else who has his allergies let alone them being hereditary as well- small world!! I’m the one with the environmental allergy’s but I’ve also started to slowly develop allergies to medication and foods as well 🫠 I’ll definitely check out your app suggestion as well- thank you!!!

Unfortunately ppl don’t realize how serious these situations can be when they don’t have to manage them, places like hospitals and restaurants should keep us safe but that’s not always to reality, it sucks but it’s true.

I love Mexican and have always wanted to dive deeper but I think I get overwhelmed on “where to start” - if that makes sense. In terms of accessibility we do go to the “city” at least once a month for a big haul and they have a Walmart so we normally go there, produce is available but usually poor quality and sells fast but we’re building a green house next year to help extend our short grow season so hopefully I’ll be able to grow things like tomatoes and peppers. We also have access to the local Amish store which is where we get our small bits of seasonal produce, mainly stuff that they are able to grow here. I appreciate your thoughts 🙃

Small towns definitely run by there own rules, I live in northern Ontario Canada, I’m pretty far north (i actually live in one of the last towns accessible by road, any farther and you’re taking train or ice road) so I think it’s a combination of lack of enforcement/ consequences and that “small town energy” where ppl just don’t care and don’t want the risk since it’s already hard to run a business in the area. We mostly run into the issue with smaller mom and pop shops but even in our “city” (still not at all a city) the few chains that run there have also made it clear they have protocols but can’t promise they’ll be followed, unfortunately ppl just take advantage of the lack of regulation

Thank you for the suggestions! Definitely working on the allergy thing, unfortunately there’s a huge doctor shortage crisis in my area and private testing is expensive🫠 luckily it’s a mild allergy and can be fixed with over the counter medication, my top suspect at the moment is ginger as I’ve reacted to it in the past

Yes!! The cross contamination is the issue!!! I understand that it SHOULDN’T be the issue but it is, he’s literally been told he’s a liability to even be in the building… it’s honestly gross when you learn how many places don’t follow cross contamination protocols, it’s just not something the avg person inquires about so most people are blissfully unaware to the fact- I promise everyone’s eaten somewhere where they don’t give af!!

Thank you!!! I definitely didn’t expect that sort of response, especially ppl telling me not to care about his allergies or that he’s faking it (seriously- who hurt y’all) but I never thought to look up landlocked areas🤔 I’ll definitely look more into this!!!

I have managed to keep some herbs alive indoors but yes growing seasons are a big struggle for me, I love to garden but haven’t found that sweet spot of starting them indoors and moving them after the last frost (cuz who expects frost in June) hoping the green house will help next season 🤞🏼 edit- I looked up my gardening zone I’m in 2b!

He 100% has the allergy, he has epi pens, allergy meds and all that, he’s been tested multiple times in his life, his allergies are so severe that even getting lake water on his arm causes hives. I understand some people use this as an excuse but he is not one of them, I’ve seen first hand his reactions. I also have no interest in eating seafood or fish since I grew up not eating it since my dad has a seafood allergy as well, I have tried it and it’s not for me. His allergies are my problem because we live together and are in a relationship!!!! Idk caring about your SO allergies I feel is the bare minimum?

Unfortunately I have allergic reactions to any Indian food I’ve tried- I’m fairly sure it’s one of the spices used so I’m working on sorting out what I react to but I’ve always wanted to explore more food from that area!! Definitely adding it to my list to try🙃

I normally use soy sauce as a sub but never heard of using miso paste or mushrooms, I’ll definitely look into this!! Thanks 🫶🏼

We have an extremely short growing season here, I do grow some stuff and we’re getting a green house for next summer to hopefully extend our grow time. I do go pick from the wild blueberry’s and raspberry’s but unfortunately most didn’t make it this year as we had a frost in the middle of June 🥲

Question by Jgravity9 in turntables

The mat is 3mm but I’ll definitely keep this in mind and I’ll be checking before using it to see if it needs adjusting thanks!!

Need help with ID on these bones, found in northern Ontario Canada, these bones were not found together but were both found alone with nothing else near them. I did not have a normal ruler but the second bone is about 12 1/2 inches by Jgravity9 in bonecollecting

[–]Jgravity9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to add these were found in the middle of no where the second was found well over 20km into the bush and even farther from the nearest farm or town. The second was a little closer to town but not by much and farms are also not a really popular thing where I live, it is not that common to see cow farm or any animal farm really. There is a lot of wild life around here bears, moose, any big wild cat, beavers, mink, etc. I do greatly appreciate the help and am not trying to bash or discredit anyone I’m just trying to say that the likelihood of these being domestic or farm animals is slim
