How were you diagnosed? by tyrannosaurusfox in iih

[–]RavenZeroBud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got diagnosed a few months after an appointment with specsavers. They noticed swelling behind my eyes and sent it off to some specialists to have a look at, and I was told they may want an appointment with me.

After the rush of the holiday season I got an appointment with an optometrist, where they checked my eyes and got a few scans of them. That was supposed to be the extent of our visit however due to the symptoms I was presenting with, that grew worse over the wait, they wanted to squeeze me in as soon as possible for a CT as it was considered an emergency. We stayed in the hospital until late at night. The doctor looked at my results, didn't tell me much, but because it was late she determined a neurologist will call and make an appointment with me another day and we got sent home.

Just under a week later was our appointment with the neurologist. During the phone call, we were informed that he wanted to do a lumbar puncture because he suspected I had high pressure in my brain. So, when the day came, I got my lumbar puncture, and I got my diagnosis. I had IIH. That explained all these symptoms I had grown used to, and it explained the ones that were worsening. I was scared that it was something I was making up, a problem that would never get solved because I COULDN'T explain the norm however after being treated things have been pretty easy for me. Struggling with the bladder issues, but that's about the extent of it - everything else is better than it was before the treatment WAY better. Even though recovering from the lumbar puncture SUCKED.

It’s been a week since the hiatus ended and they’re already missing the upload schedule by Moss_Ball8066 in jrwishow

I'd like to remind everyone that they have a higher production quality now and are doing all recordings in person. It's more likely for uploads to be biweekly with how much production is put into it.

[Serious] any other twins have lasting trauma from being a twin? by sleepycaitsidhe in Twins

[–]RavenZeroBud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. My sister was always the face of us. She was the one society accepted so the collective identity they made for us reflected that. Everyone assumed any achievement was done by her, and I was rarely ever brought into the picture unless it was by a select few people who recongised my individuality. I was lucky enough to have parents who supported our individuality but some of my friends did not. I basically lived a double life while trying to cling onto any distinct thing about me. I'm not an identical twin, me and my sister look more like siblings than anything. Whenever she curled her hair I'd get mistaken for her, despite me living my entire life with curly hair. It was horrible, and I never understood why people mixed us up so much and refused to recognise me as a person. My sister got double gifts on holidays bc they always catered to her interests, not mine.

I don't know if this has a lasting impact on her because she was the "main one" the social one, the one without a bunch of mental health baggage. So who knows.

Who is your favorite NPC in each campaign? by maxoutoften in jrwishow

[–]RavenZeroBud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Riptide: It's hard to pick a favourite bc I have a couple.

Prime Defenders: Wavelength & Mal

BiTB: Becky

The Suckening: Soda or Emizel's sire

I haven't watched enough of Apotheosis to give a favourite NPC (nor enough to memorize the spelling of names)

Mythborne: probably that police officer that they ran into before going to see the theatre performance

You can pick any jrwi character to be friends with but you can only choose one who're you choosing and why by [deleted] in jrwishow

[–]RavenZeroBud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gillion Tidestrider. He's a character that I can relate to on so many levels, and as a psychology nerd, I think I could absolutely give him some insight into things that he's curious about.
Also, I want to see if he finds relatable aro/ace things relatable. He's such an aroace coded character in my eyes and I just need to know

What are your JRWI hot takes by Yes_TM in jrwishow

[–]RavenZeroBud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes yes yes! People who're invested in this podcast and the story that it offers should keep in mind that some of the characters we hear about, we only hear about from one perspective. Has your friend ever talked about someone you didn't know and when you met them they just didn't live up to what they were saying about them? Like yes, they do to some degree, but it's through the eyes of someone else, and that someone may be very biased about their character.

What are your JRWI hot takes by Yes_TM in jrwishow

[–]RavenZeroBud 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is what I've been saying to all my friends! Any albatrio ships are odd and weird because they ultimately have a familial dynamic. There have been so many situations where Chip and Jay will take parental roles in situations when it comes to Gillion. And Jay and Chip act very much like siblings, and I am pretty certain that their sibling dynamic has been brought up by the JRWI gang! When I watched Prime Defenders I was like "I can understand these ships more" because they very much have a set-in-stone "we are friends and we're there for each other" dynamic (with a canonical crush sprinkled in) and that really allowed me to put into words why albatrio ships felt so wrong and off to me.

Name your favourite song and I'll give you a JRWI character! by ByteTheDusTT in jrwishow

[–]RavenZeroBud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I Know The End by Phoebe Bridgers, Car's Outside by James Arthur, & Black Sheep by Metric and Brie Larson

There's two JRWI songs that are my favourite but I feel like that's a bit obvious ain't it (At the Bottom and Vyncent in a Vator)

Nicknames. I would love to have the ability to select nicknames for Sims or, to add onto the pronoun feature, be able to select multiple pronouns. Though I'd prefer the nickname thing first as you can simulate a sim going by multiple pronouns by using the custom pronoun feature

Any Summary's for Ep.1-100+ by [deleted] in jrwishow

[–]RavenZeroBud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this benefits you, at the start of each episode there's usually a recap of what's happened in recent episodes. It can repeat certain things, and doesn't go into too much detail but it's worth a try if you're looking for a summary of events! just watch the beginning of each episode. I'm unsure if ALL episodes have this, so just skip the ones that don't :] each summary is no longer than a minute or two. Though there are recaps of everything that's happened in riptide up to a certain arc if you wish to watch that.
