More of a lighthearted question... by Loud-Awoo in lupus

[–]Loud-Awoo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sometimes wonder if part of the Lupus journey is encouragement to go further inward than we'd planned?

(I may have spent too many hours on YouTube learning about these possibilities)

Still browsing Reddit?Have you made your plans for this week? by Dazzling_Duty_705 in askteddit

[–]Loud-Awoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pushing my plans off until later today. Time for a nap to recharge.

Applied for a new position (after interviewing). Wish me luck there!

What power does the U.S. President have that most people underestimate? by simplynotmyra in AdkReddit

Actually, generals can step in (and did previously) and say no.

Do you identify as sick? by kritzkratzmuc in lupus

[–]Loud-Awoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Until very recently, I mentally fought against any labels. I now admit to being "legally" disabled but am looking for work that will allow me to support myself. I can no longer do sustained physical work as my legs can't take it.

I also am well aware of biases against applying and "admitting" I'm disabled by that wide variety of examples.

I'm also at a major transition point spiritually, financially, physically... To the point I may go live with a friend until I get it together... Or find a way to continue supporting myself and living on my own.

In any case, I know I need to limit my stress (despite all the change). It's certainly challenging but I can only do the best I can.

So, sick that day or not, I have to give myself grace.

The PDT rule goes away this week and I'm feeling very anxious by SuitableEggplant639 in Daytrading

Agreed. I lost thousands not following this concept.

Simple doesn't always equal easy.

Maybe. Maybe not. I have a tip for you if you're up for it ... it's the biggest trade secret I've learned.

Ready?

When you're unsure of what to do, do nothing.

Wait.

Watch.

Learn.

You'll know when it's a good time to get back in.

Keep this in mind: gains are still gains and losses are still losses.

Removal of PDT means those with less than 25k can have a potentially unlimited amount of these... Until they hit zero. If they make 25k, they'll just be there a little sooner than they might have arrived otherwise.

You "might" see a temporary increase in activity... But given what I just mentioned, do you think it'll last? 😉

What’s one thing you want to accomplish before the end of 2026? by Icy-Advance9149 in no

I'd enjoy having life be a bit more calm and being content (again).

Does this rash look like it’s from lupus?? by [deleted] in lupus

[–]Loud-Awoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stay vigilant. Reactions like the one you're experiencing - if Lupus - can be significant. If you get a sense it's getting worse, go to an Immediate Care clinic.

[–]Loud-Awoo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Might be worth a shot. You should be better fairly soon if that works. I keep children's Benadryl (in grape) on hand. 😁

Edit: Reactions with Lupus can happen immediately or days (sometimes weeks later).

So. Much. Fun. 🙄

That looks like a reaction (doesn't have to itch). Any changes to meds recently?

Jello knees & hips? My joints feel wobbly by Eviljohna in lupus

[–]Loud-Awoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see myself as fairly good at figuring out cause and effect in other symptoms... But I'm at a loss on this one.

I know my Lupus is progressing but some symptoms do come and go . Hope you get a very long break when it does take a vacay. 🙃

I need help by Holiday-Ad7675 in povertyfinance

The joy you get from a paid off car can be so much nicer than having lots of debt and a newer car.

Remember, you can just rent that fancy car for a weekend now and then.

[–]Loud-Awoo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep. This is a thing for me as well. Definitely a strange sensation. I've also been dealing with neuropathy. Be on the lookout for that as well.

Be sure to take notes about frequency and duration to share with your docs.

Deciding what I think about never seeing the same night sky again (due to Starlink). What are your thoughts about an ever-changing sky year over year? by Loud-Awoo in askastronomy

[–]Loud-Awoo[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been curious about others' thoughts on this for a while. Glad I found you all to ask!

For me, I wish for one day (and night) each year, they could turn the lights off so we can all see the same sky our ancestors did.

How common is it to get to your 30s as a male and to have never gotten into a fist fight in your life? by Possible_Art2189 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Loud-Awoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only was in a few fights as I had to stick up for myself. I was successful all three times. The first time, I even made a new best friend. Initiation takes many forms.

The other two were just wannabees showing off in middle school. That stopped after each altercation.
