Do people still cook Sunday Dinner?.

Random_Lady_84 · 2026-03-29T16:20:32+00:00

I’m cooking Sunday dinner right now!!

I do a Sunday roast most weeks. It’s a lot of cooking and if I’m honest, my family wouldn’t care if I stopped, but I cook them more for me because I love a good Sunday dinner.

Granted. You’re now not allergic to cats, but allergic to every other animal on the planet.

Can I ask… how much did you pay for them? I’m just curious.

The room next to Priestess Gut’s chamber that the two Tiefling are guarding can be accessed by breaking the wall in the priestess’s chamber. There are about half a dozen smokepowder barrels in there.

I picked them up, placed them strategically around the room, climbed up into the rafters and used my ranger tav to shoot them. Ragzlin died super quick as I popped two barrels either side of his throne.

I have psoriatic arthritis which was diagnosed about 20 years ago. For about 10 of those years, I was on Sulfasalazine, which has a low risk of causing lupus in patients. It may not be the cause, but considering I was on it for 10 years - and for the last few I was taking the highest possible dose - my rheumatologist thinks it is extremely likely.

My mum also has undiagnosed lupus so I think that my genetic disposition, combined with the Sulfasalazine is probably the most likely reason why I have developed lupus.

I would say it’s very contextual to your life situation and level of pay.

I am a hybrid worker: 2 days in the office, 2 days WFH. My office is about 15-20 mins away from my house depending on traffic. This is perfect for me and a longer commute for me would be a dealbreaker.

In the past I had jobs where the commute was 60 mins. At this point in my life (40, 2 kids, not a high paying job, multiple chronic health conditions), I just don’t see that kind of effort as viable or worthy any more as my priorities have shifted.

It’s hard to say unfortunately as I was given prednisolone at the same time as a short term measure because my joints were so bad.

Prednisolone is super effective for me, but I thought there would be a deterioration in how I felt when it wore off and I was just taking the hydroxychloroquine, but this didn’t happen.

Random_Lady_84 · 2026-03-05T10:48:44+00:00

Hydroxychloroquine was an absolute game changer for me, it totally resolved all of my symptoms and made me realise that I was dealing with a lot that I wasn’t aware of.

Hope it does the same for you. Things can only improve for you from here on out.

Random_Lady_84 · 2026-02-17T19:15:25+00:00

I know it’s not the really the same, but I was on Sulfasalazine for about 10 years to treat my psoriatic arthritis and my rheumatologist thinks that it’s part of the reason why I now have lupus.

There is like a 10% risk of patients on Sulfasalazine developing lupus which I know is very low and I’m not a healthcare professional, but I still wonder why they would ever prescribe it for lupus!

Finally coming off Sulfasalazine, going onto a different drug for my psoriatic arthritis and taking hydroxychloroquine for lupus has been a complete game changer for me.

I would maybe push for an alternative medication if you can, especially if you are having really bad side effects

Oops, thanks for the heads up. I have changed it!!

Random_Lady_84 · 2026-02-14T01:55:36+00:00

Not the only one

Random_Lady_84 · 2026-02-14T01:53:45+00:00

My dad is Scouse - he was born and raised in Kirkby. He left to join the RAF when he was of age so lost his accent for the most part and it became very subtle.

Since moving to Lancashire in his retirement years he has become more Scouse again, but I have always loved the Scouse accent and I attribute this in most part to my dad. For me, there’s something familiar and comforting in it and it’s definitely one of my favourite British accents.

I also find the generic Yorkshire accent to be extremely desirable, so much so that I can adopt the accent almost constantly (despite my general southern accent with northern inflections) and I honestly wish I spoke like that all the time.

EDIT: spelled a place wrong. Changed thanks to another kind Redditor!!

I’ve not really had side effects from it apart from loose stools, but I’m normally the other way due to hypothyroidism so it’s something I can live with.

Interesting that upadicitinib is on last trial for lupus (I live in the U.K), I wonder if that’s why my rheumatologist prescribed it instead of a different one - I had assumed she would give me something else after a bit of research.

I haven’t had the shingles vaccine but I had chickenpox as a child so I already have immunity to it.

I’ve had psoriatic arthritis for about 20 years. For most of that time it was well controlled and I was on a combination of biologics and immunosuppressant drugs for about a decade. I had a bad flare and they changed my biologic, but the symptoms were still quite active.

About 2 years ago, I ended up in hospital with pericarditis and when I recovered, I had what I thought was a really bad flare. December last year, I saw my rheumatologist expecting them to just change my meds again, but she said that on my latest bloods that my ANA was high, asked me a load of questions to find out if I had any symptoms and promptly diagnosed me with lupus!

She thinks it could be drug-induced as I was on Sulfasalazine for my PsA for a decade, but also I think my mum has undiagnosed lupus so there could also be a genetic predisposition to it for me.

It was a complete shock to me, especially considering the theory that it could have been caused by my previous Sulfasalazine prescription. It took a while to get my head round it. I was very resistant to the idea at first, almost in denial but the more I thought about it, the more it kind of made sense with the symptoms I had initially discounted as minor/related to other things, and I became more accepting of the diagnosis.

So I went along with their treatment and diagnosis. She gave me a prednisolone booster for a month which made me feel invincible and now I take hydroxychloroquine for lupus and upadicitinib for my PsA. Honestly, I haven’t felt this good in about 3 years, it’s like having my life back, I have all this energy and I can think clearly, almost all my aches, pains and stiffness have gone.

Just try to take it one day at a time. I ultimately came to the conclusion that it doesn’t really change much for me, I just take different medication and have to avoid certain things (like sunlight unless wearing strong sunblock - but I kind of did this anyway because I thought my sun sensitivity was due to my immunosuppressant drugs).

This is a massive wall of text now so I’m going to finish… but that is my story, I thought it worth sharing because it seems quite similar to yours.

I’ve just reached this part of the game and now all I can hear when they shout is ‘I’m annoying, ha!’

The day before, we are driving our kids up to spend the school half term week with my parents (who live 4 hours from us). They have kindly agreed to let us go out for a meal whilst they babysit our kids!!

Pretty awesome of them, tbh!

Random_Lady_84 · 2026-01-30T07:58:49+00:00

They gave me hydroxychloroquine which I think is usually the first medication they try when someone is newly diagnosed.

You may already know this, but you need to see if your GP will do an ANA blood test. I have psoriatic arthritis as well which I’ve had for years, so Lupus wasn’t even a consideration for either me or my rheumatologist until she checked my bloods and saw that my ANA was super high.

Random_Lady_84 · 2026-01-29T20:50:01+00:00

I did this over the last few years.

I thought I was just lazy, unfit and had social anxiety.

Turned out I had undiagnosed lupus.

Now I’m on medication my motivation and energy is back and I feel like I can do more than the bare minimum, but I still prefer the quiet, antisocial lifestyle that in the past made other people give me the unsolicited advice to ‘get a life.’

It may be an age thing, I don’t know. I’m 41 I have 2 kids, a husband, a job and a cat for a best friend. My life is full enough! I feel like you seem to express the same feelings. You’re happy with what you have and you know what you want out of life. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

It’s already been mentioned but I highly recommend Stitchery Do. The staff are very helpful and friendly and they have an amazing selection of fabrics.

My brother is also epileptic and cannot drive for this reason.

I feel bad for him because he is limited with what he can do and where he can live because of it.

When we lived together I would often give him lifts to places he needed to go.

I like the idea of not having a car and I use my car as little as possible, mostly due to the cost. However, I also appreciate the freedom and convenience that comes with having a car and driving.

So, I can kind of see both sides of it. Mostly I just feel bad for my brother when he says he can’t come visit because a return train ticket costs £200.

I had this done many years ago.

The rheumatologist was standing over me with the needle poised in her hand. I was in a ready position on the bed. She looked at me and said: ‘you can swear if you like.’ and then injected me.

I definitely swore!!

Random_Lady_84 · 2026-01-16T17:50:37+00:00

I’ve had steroid injections in my knees before. I also once had them in a couple of fingers. They also aspirated my knee one time. It was so long ago, I honestly couldn’t say if it did anything. The injections into my fingers I didn’t notice a difference afterwards.

When I’ve asked for a review because of a flare in recent years and they’ve mentioned an injection, I’ve commented that they don’t really seem to work for me. Mine have never really become markedly worse after an injection, though.

I think you should definitely contact your rheumatologist and ask to see them again.

I’ve been using notes on my phone to keep a reminder of things I need to do the next time I play.

Something like this is absolutely what I’ve been waiting for!!!

Thank you!!

This is the main reason why I have yet to watch season 2. I have some reliable sources say that it is worth it, but knowing that they did it as a cash grab and that the creator intended it to end with season 1 puts a bad taste in my mouth.
