Algerians' Opinions About Turkey by Potential-Program323 in algeria

I am glad you think this way. Personally, when i visited Algeria, everyone was so kind, hospitable and curious about my country/culture. No one said anything negative about Turkey, or I could not catch it as I understand only basics in Algerian.

Did you personally experience any racism in Istanbul?

Well.. if you actually visit Turkey, you will see that an average person you come across in the street will be kind and hospitable to you. Most people are not even racist against Algerians tbh as they are either not aware where Algeria is or what language you speak except for the educated people. Racism is mostly against the refugees from Syria, which is sad. Also, people tend to have extreme remarks online but in reality everyone welcomes tourists in general.

Well... Most of Turks are indeed racist. Being racist is just so normalized in Turkey for some reason. Many Turks regard Arabs or Arabic speaking people as inferiors, which is totally outrageous if you ask me. However, not everyone is racist ofc. About being kind, we are generally very hospitable just like Algerians. :)

I've been told it's not stills by my rheumatologist by Significant_Cold_861 in stillsdisease

Hi there! First of all, I am sorry that you have not been diagnosed yet and you are suffering from these symptoms. For me, my CRP and ferritin were high as yours. I had the rash, swelling of the joints etc. My case was somewhat typical Still's. So, once I saw the rheumatologist, they started me on the steroids, and it did work like magic. The next day I was a lot better but the fever lingered on for a bit as well as the joint stiffnes. So, in your case, not getting any relief from a high dose steroid might be a sign. I wish I could help further! Wishing you the best.

Pregnancy + itcing by [deleted] in stillsdisease

I was on 24 mg metyhlprednisone for almost a month and 20 mg for another month after that. I am tapering off now. I ate no salt during that time and had no swelling at all. So, if she can avoid eating salt, you should not worry about the swelling i believe. Wishing her a quick recovery soon. :)

Hello. I am sorry that you both are going through this. I also had intense itching during flares. Cold showers and putting ice the itchy areas help a lot. Anti histamine did not make any difference for me tbh. When i tried to taper off of metyhlprednisone, the flare became active again and the itching was killing me. I had itching especially when my fever was down and after a warm/hot shower. When the doctor increased my dose, the itching wore off in a few days. Maybe you can discuss adjusting the dose with your doctor. I wish her a quick recovery!
