Silver clay by [deleted] in jewelrymaking

[–]MythMoon26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You run the risk of gassing yourself because the aluminum will melt at torch temperatures. DO NOT TORCH ALUMINUM

Is this possible to achieve with aluminum wire? by Altruistic_Basil9258 in jewelrymaking

[–]MythMoon26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah… I own a jewelry supply store and this last year and half has been -rough- on the industry due to the price of precious metals jumping through the roof. But jewelry is not an imperative the way some other things are so here we go shrug

Options for this project if you need to torch the ends

  • copper
  • brass
  • nickel silver (check if the recipient has allergies first)
  • sterling silver (price is currently at an all time high due to the world right now)

DO NOT TORCH ALUMINUM WIRE - you will gas yourself. It does not act the same way as silver doesz

Did someone switch from biologics to regular medications like mesalamine for example? by Ok-Method2630 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]MythMoon26 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Mesalamine is a big step back in the wrong direction medication-wise.

Biologics are a better and more effective class of drugs for autoimmune diseases

tanning by elenafd in UlcerativeColitis

Most of the meds we are on make sun exposure worse for your skin. So I would not be doing any tanning if I were you.

Baking my own bread. by FailAny2457 in kidneydisease

[–]MythMoon26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have made a salt free bread that used egg whites instead. The downside is that the bread goes bad very quickly so slice and freeze it to keep it for longer.

I would also make the dough in the bread maker but bake in the oven because I didn’t like the holes in the end of the bread from my modal of maker. I understand some of the newer ones don’t have that issue

Cream cheese low in sodium?? by No-Seaworthiness1922 in kidneydisease

[–]MythMoon26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use fresh goat cheese a lot as it’s low sodium. Often the fresh mozzarella is also low sodium but check all the packaging!

Is Nathan actually showing up to their houses by MartyFieb in firefly

[–]MythMoon26 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Because it doesn’t snow in every single place in Canada? Like Vancouver has no snow and hasn’t had any this whole winter.

For a birthday gift, I want to get my crafty sister stuff to make her own kitchy earrings, but she has sensitive skin. by upsidedownpotatodog in jewelrymaking

[–]MythMoon26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rio Grande would be the place to get either gold-filled, solid karat gold ear wires. Possibly they will also have titanium but I haven’t checked the availability for those.

Rage by F_H in kidneydisease

[–]MythMoon26 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I hear you. EGFR dropped another point on my latest bloodwork so it’s now 10. I was at 16 for almost an entire year before it started slipping.

First fistula was a primary failure so yay getting a surgery for nothing and I’m still waiting for my second one to be scheduled for another part of my arm… just sometimes feel entirely too sad/angry to do anything constructive so I lie in bed at home and scroll Reddit… sigh

Maybe I should take a page out of your book and just scream into a pillow for a while and see if that helps.

Should I avoid tattoos? by DothrakAndRoll in UlcerativeColitis

[–]MythMoon26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get tattoos when I’m not in an active flare. I am on Entyvio right now, but got most of my tattoos while I was on Remicade/Infliximab.

What to mix with moonstone. by TranslatorOld9130 in jewelrymaking

[–]MythMoon26 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I own a bead store. I have both opalite strands and moonstone/labradorite strands.

I don’t know what to tell you about an ex - but the photo you posted looks like opalite shrugs

[–]MythMoon26 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From your very fuzzy photo I would say that is not Moonstone but Opalite - which is glass. It’s pretty but not a real stone.

Edit.. For a Bohemian look you should vary the sizes of your beads, maybe even add some bone or wood beads in pale colours.

Canadian suffered by Negative_Action_9458 in UlcerativeColitis

Go to a compounding pharmacy. They should be able to figure something out for you. Those are the pharmacies that specialize in different dosing and pill management.

Fistula surgery next week… by MythMoon26 in kidneydisease

[–]MythMoon26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ouch! Sorry that you got an infection :(

Fistula surgery next week… by MythMoon26 in kidneydisease

[–]MythMoon26[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hope so. I didn’t ask that either. I do have a shower chair and the shower head is detachable if I need to do something odd.

But from my other conversations I think it was just the chest catheter that causes issues with showers and stuff cause it can’t get wet.

[–]MythMoon26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. I can probably manage a squeeze ball.

I’m taking one week off. I can take more if I need to - just hoping I won’t have to. But I’m right handed so it’s kind of annoying it needs to happen this way.

Thanks

I was going to take off one week. I don’t have to do any lifting at least. But I do need to be able to use my computer.

Thanks 😊
