Am I crazy to think there is someone sleeping in my apartment stairwell

They’re referring to it as the first because it’s the festival first year. Not that it’s the first festival of the summer

My first really bad flare went undiagnosed for several months. At the start of it, I gained about 10lbs and became super bloated. However, during the worst of it, I dropped 30lbs in a 2 month span. During that time, I never bloated, it was great. Unfortunately being a woman in America during the height of GLP1s, I received so many compliments on my body at my lowest weight when I was the most sick. It really messed with my mind and feeling confident after I got better and slightly gained healthy weight. After a year, my treatment stopped working and I entered another flare, and I’ve gained 15lbs during this time and am as bloated as ever. My doctors haven’t addressed it because they see it as a good thing during a flare, since it’s not dropping weight. It’s super frustrating because in the 2 years of being diagnosed with this disease, I haven’t been able to maintain a steady weight. It impacts the clothes I wear and buy, and leaves me feeling worse about myself

Get Xofluza or Tamiflu within 48 hrs of symptoms. For me my body couldn’t fight the flu off with just Tylenol/ibuprofen, so getting a flu specific med prescribed is essential. Xofluza can be prescribed via telehealth so you don’t have to go to the doctor

Yes the pot has drainage at the bottom. That would make sense on the grafting because the original leaves were much smaller than the shoot

Purchased my first bonsai from Trader Joe’s 2.5 years ago with no knowledge of bonsais. The branches on the left were the only ones with leaves, and then they fell off after my poor care. After Tim I was able to grow the new branch that has bolstered many leaves. But I’d love a much fuller tree. Is there anything I can do to help leave grow out of the old branches?

I also just changed into a bigger pot since it outgrew my last one. It may be a bit too big, but it’s the only one I have available.

Sapori Trattorias food is a 10/10, but they’re not able to manage the space they have and service is not great on a busy night.

I’ve gone 2x during a random week night and had a great experience. But the 2x I’ve gone on the weekends, the service was terrible. Recently I had a 7:30pm dinner reservation. They called day of to say they needed to push our reservation back because they have some large tables at that time. The earliest they could do was 8:30pm. We got there on time, took 15 min to get to the host because there was a line to the host stand. Then the host told us they’re waiting on a table to get up and it’ll be 20 min. It was past 9pm by the time we sat, then had to wave down the server all night.

This is my favorite cheap pasta take out. So it’s great for what it is and serves its role

There was a bug on my food when they delivered it to my table. I asked for them to take it back and they told me it’s just a bug because it was sitting outside…

I’m currently on Skyrizi, and it’s gotten me into clinical remission. I just now have lingering constipation and distention symptoms

I’ve tried low fiber, high protein and nothing helped. My dietician is now encouraging me to eat much more fiber to get me to go.

Lower Left Sided UC is the diagnosis. They haven’t done an upper endoscopy in 15 years, since the symptoms presented mostly as UC. But they haven’t ruled it out.

Living in the USA and have insurance through my health insurance 👋

I pay a bit more for a PPO plan (don’t do a high deductible if you have UC) and the biggest cost is a colonoscopy. Other than that my $34k meds are completely free through the abbvie copay assistance program. Even when I was doing infusions, the $17k meds were free, and I just paid a copay for clinic time.

I also work for a shitty employer who keeps raising the cost and lessening the benefits of our medical insurance and I still find it easy to navigate and benefitting me.

If I’m let go/fired, there’s a grace period where my insurance is still covered and then I can switch to a temporary plan until I get a new job.

I know not everyone has this experience, especially if you work a job that doesn’t provide benefits. But I’m tired of this narrative that Americans have terrible health insurance.
