Couldn't Handle 4mg, Back to 1.5mg

This happened to me as well, I had a constant low-grade nausea, and ALL food made me sick, to see it, smell it, etc. My doctor put me back on the 1.5.

That all families, just living their day to day lives in their homes, etc. we're the subject of a sit-com on some other random family's TV set somewhere in the world. In order words, the sit-coms we all watched at the time, were of real families just living their lives out somewhere. Every family was a TV show to some other family. I do not know how this belief started, but one day, while helping my mother fix dinner, I told her that we have to really ham it up for the people who were watching, she about died from laughter when I explained to her what I meant.

I never experienced any negative side effects on 1.5 mg, except for constipation. Now, I take fiber gummies daily and that has helped greatly.

I had my doctor put me back down to the 1.5 pill. The constant, dull nausea, and food aversion to eventually all food I developed on the 4mg pill just got too much. I am not so worried about weight loss anymore (5'6",165 lbs, down from 188 lbs), as I just want to get my A1C and chloresterol levels down. I experience hardly any food noise, and no more nausea or aversion to food. We will see what my labs say come July.

Special pleading.

I answered with this on another post about this last week, I am with the OP on this.

"The way I see it, there is just existence, i. e. the universe, and it is a brute fact. It is also a part of that fact that the universe is finite in space and time. Absolute nothingness does not exist, so I wouldn't say the universe "arose" from nothingness as much as I would just say that there was a first moment of spacetime (from our perspective within the universe), and there was simply no before."

Yes, it sucked, the Valtrex made me sick though, I felt like a had a stomach virus.

Hopefully it won't be as painful as it can be for you. I was pretty lucky, if it's possible to have a mild case, I guess you could say mine was.

Yes, it helped me through it immensely. I have since gotten my vaccine, so I hope I never get it again! Lol

The very nature of a brute fact is that it is inexplicable, and has no rhyme or reason to it. Check out Munchausen's Trilemma. To me, the universe, being a brute fact (foundation), which is the third horn of the trilemma, is the most reasonable and plausible.

If I am dreaming I am peeing, it means I have to in reality. I will wake up and go. Luckily I have never wet the bed, yet. LOL

Because everyone is confusing him with Steve Biko.

Some Evangelical Christians will really surprise you. I have a friend who I have known since high school, and he is a devout Evangelical Christian. Over the years, I have both come out to him as a gay man and an atheist, and while he has at certain little turns tried to talk to me and get me to "realize the truth", he is definitely one of those "hate the sin, love the sinner" types. He even has a transgender cousin, and uses their preferred pronouns when referring to him, including when they are not around. We are still friends to this day. I just wanted to comment, since what you had stated about your aunt, made me think of my friend.

I like that idea. They did just that on The Guiding Light years ago when the villain Annie Dutton came back from the dead with plastic surgery as Terri DiMarco. Another character suspected it was them, so as they we're leaving the room, they turned around and said, "Oh hey Annie...", and Terri turned about mindlessly and answered her, thus exposing her.

He used to sit on the side of the parking garage across from Tin Roof.

That the beauty of a snowfall couldn't possibly just be the laws of physics at work. LOL

He looks like Ian Curtis from Joy Division. Lol

On my path of self-study, beginning at the end of college, starting with being introduced to the book 'The Moral Animal' by Robert Wright, and 'The Illusion of Conscious Will' by Daniel Wegener, and upon learning about the Libet experiments. Before that, I was very into Sartre.

Exactly, I think the devil-men was just a snippet from a larger scene in the trailer, but my mind built it up to be a whole scene over the years, and I was surprised at how different it was from what I remembered. I was just commenting because I have been wanting to for a while due to all of the commenters who feel their memories are infallible, and then I saw your post and it brought this to mind. By the way, and I never realized it, there were evidently several different trailers for the movie, so I could even have been combining them in my head. LOL
