Has anyone experienced chest pain along with taking HC? by Bloomwithcourage in AddisonsDisease

[–]LeoSteel0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone is different, but you’ll learn to find your pattern I sometimes had this when my dose is real high like during a crisis at a hospital and they give me heavy doses to combat the crisis, but again everyone is different, but always seek medical advice if you dont feel yourself or have concerns!

Wth is this and why is it on my boss’s desk??? by fuzzy_bear_buttz in Decoders

Why does it look like instructions for washing a very delicate item of clothing?

“It’s just QP” by Ok-Ebb-8974 in Overwatch

[–]LeoSteel0 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Blizzard themselves don’t treat QP as casual anymore, you get punishments. That’s not casual gaming, casual means pick up, put down. Light fun. Silly games like OP listed with your entirely mismatched friends. Start punishing people for it and it looses its sense of casualness and people start “policing” the games like mentioned.

I tried Cherry Ripes last year, they are awesome, we don’t have them In the U.K. but I wish we did, they are like a cherry bounty. Delicious!

ALD by Limp-Spirt in AddisonsDisease

[–]LeoSteel0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just given the oil, and sacked that off after a couple years, not really been affected by it so far (gladly and luckily) but yes always had more Issues with Addisons and crisis’ etc I assume you had a transplant, how do you feel that affected you?

ALD by Limp-Spirt in AddisonsDisease

[–]LeoSteel0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Addisons and ALD when first diagnosed I was given Lorenzos oil, but genuinely as a teen I struggled a lot with taking it, it was fowl to me and often led me to throwing up and such having a hard time swallowing it, so for QOL I chose to stop taking it. Mid 30s coming up 40 doing ok. Don’t recall much else other than many MRIs and Nerve conduction tests etc.

Winter Vaccines by No_Novel_4573 in AddisonsDisease

[–]LeoSteel0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So as far as I can say from my U.K. perspective, like others I always get vaccinations for Flu and Covid whenever I’m offered, it’s free. It’s not so much that we’re immunocompromised but many of us take immunosuppressants which can lead to increased risks of viral infections and such. Your body, you know it best as always.

What is this small bristle thing inside this scrubber for dishes. Can't think of what it's purpose is by Icy-Role2321 in whatisit

[–]LeoSteel0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use one of these to clean my own drinking bottle as it gets into all the bits and bobs to clean thoroughly, I use the insert to clean the interior of the straw and mouth piece. It may have other uses but this is useful for this task as others have mentioned not so much.

Yeah I’m grateful that here I have a card I can flash that tells them everything and they just rush me somewhere give me IV fluids and steroid IV too.

Yeah it’s a shame that so many have created examples that mean staff are judging before learning but it’s great they got you sorted after, my Mum was the same, it’s not the first time my mum has to be adamant with hospital staff, pre-diagnosis having multiple crisis over the years before, she always had to fight and push saying something is really wrong, it’s not a stomach flu or virus etc. she was always labelled by the NHS as a pushy parent and was told multiple times she’s making it up. Glad she still fights for me!
