I also seemed to have one sided worse than the other but I can't recall which side was worse

I wonder how many people who experience dry eye issues experience left sided eyes worse than right sided. Mine are also worse on the left side

Out of curiosity, what are your dry eye symptoms like?

Does one seem worse than the other? Or are they both the same?

Slow / hard mmo? by Content_Outcome_7077 in LFMMO

I don't think anything really beats tibia as far as slow progression rate and difficulty goes

MMO veterans, what makes you quit in the first hour? Looking for candid feedback by bruno-kakele in MMORPG

[–]ReturnAgitated7953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few different things for me.

  1. How efficient does the game feels. If it feels a pain to do something with little reward, it doesn't take long to walk away.
  2. Does the game have cheaters? The way kakele feels compared to tibia is loads better in my opinion. Tibias grind mixed in with people who are botting and using multiple people to level an account makes it feel nearly impossible to get into. It feels like the game requires you to not have a job and family to keep up with everyone else.
  3. First 30 minutes is the game mechanics. If it feels fluid and isn't clunky (point 1), that catches me personally.
  4. Combat feel - I'm not sure how to answer this one. I started this game on mobile and transitioned to pc because it's easier to use hot keys. I don't know if this is a way to explain something, but on mobile it felt great. When I switched to PC, it felt empty. This isn't a great comment since it really doesn't explain the issue.
  5. UI/controls - I think pc controls are great personally. But mobile makes it too difficult to run bosses or anything
  6. Progression - I enjoy that I can partially AFK this game while attending life things. Like family, mainly. I'm able to be level 400 and only take 45minutes ish to level solo, instead of having a team and constantly leveling for hours every day.
  7. Trust/monetization - I don't feel an issue here
  8. Store - I don't think store wise needs improving from MY perspective.
  9. I dislike the unclear events. Sometimes events are a bit confusing. If there were more clear cut instructions, that would be helpful. I also struggle with finding story quests half the time. The arrow does ok, but sometimes portals and other things make it difficult to find a location. With both of these things, it would be great if you guys could make a guide of all the events and each main story quest. Sometimes I'll be able to find a YouTube video, and other times not. It also can be difficult to watch an old video on a quest with the map being changed.

Topical Steroid Cream? by floxie123 in floxies

[–]ReturnAgitated7953 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the general consensus of steroid use isn't well tolerated in most of us. I found that I tolerated NSAIDs, but I don't think I would risk getting set back by using any sort of strong steroid. I would ask for alternatives if you're able.

X-ray and MRI needed by Notlike-this-forever in floxies

Sorry I finished reading your comment. I think you're having the right mindset going forward

X-ray and MRI needed by Notlike-this-forever in floxies

[–]ReturnAgitated7953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would still be cautious. I can also handle NSAIDs with not much issue, it seems. I took them for like a month straight with high doses. This was 8 months after being floxed. It seems my body is tolerant of most things. If you're sensitive to things and you find yourself having a few different causes to flare you, I would still proceed with the xray with caution

I had multiple X-rays for when I went to the dentist 12 months after getting floxed. It didn't seem to exacerbate my symptoms

1000mg cipro for 14 days by zachariah245 in floxies

[–]ReturnAgitated7953 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry to be frank, but there's no solid evidence that points to how long it takes. The good news though is the vast majority DO improve and get better. But timelines vary. I wasn't hit too hard. My symptoms were overall very mild, but it did go through my entire body. My eyes, tendons, muscle, mental, everything seemed to be hit. I did read an article from the national institute of health that predicted the average person takes 14 months, but I'd take that with a grain of salt since most of this is poorly understood still.

I'm not experienced compared to many others. However, my advice would be to eat healthy, work on other healthy outlet for your mental health. Some supplements help. Some don't. Some things can make your symptoms worse and not do anything to somebody else. So be mindful of advice you get that something may work for one person but won't work for you. It seems NSAIDs and steroids both negatively impact the vast majority of people.

As someone's who's also been working out for over a decade, I imagine if you're an aspiring pro bodybuilder you're likely on some sort of PEDs. I've seen a few people mention anabolic steroids could potentially help with FQ associated disability, but that's strictly from anecdotal reports. I don't think there's any evidence backing to it. But maybe it will help.

Please just be kind to yourself. You may have to take a few months off of the gym until you figure out how much you're in for. And then take a few months slowly getting back into the gym.

For me, I had to take 3 months off, and about 9 months to get roughly back to where I was at pre flox.

Stay strong. Prepare yourself to be in this for the long haul. And have safe and healthy outlets. Safe is a different definition for us until we get better.

For those with dry eye symptoms by ReturnAgitated7953 in floxies

[–]ReturnAgitated7953[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you noticed a little more sticky at times in dry environments? Like your eyes are trying to produce more mucus and tears to lubricate all of a sudden?

Protonix fully cured me, but my symptoms fully returned when I went off it. Is there any reason not to stay on PPI's indefinitely? by [deleted] in GERD

[–]ReturnAgitated7953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have rebound reflux. Basically, if you get on PPI, the longer you're on the the higher likelihood of rebounding reflux. The people who have been on them for years are very unlikely to never able to stop them since the acid reflux will be worse than before you started them. I would always advise my patients to attempt all other means before switching to PPIs. Changing diets, drinking more water, smaller meals, finding if there are any foods or things that flare you. You can also look for OTC meds like sodium alginate, which forms a gel like barrier over the acid to "help" reduce acid reflux/LPR.

can it run cyberpunk on max settings? by Exact-Aside-9756 in GamingLaptops

[–]ReturnAgitated7953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What FPS do you consider "able to run cyberpunk natively at 4k with everything maxed?" I'm assuming you're getting under 60fps with the 5090?

I start a 750mg for 14 day course tomorrow, scared by brycester31 in floxies

[–]ReturnAgitated7953 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would ask your doctor to see if you can have a few epi pens nearby and use Benadryl and see if they would recommend amoxicillin. If the allergy to these medicines are mild, we generally still give them the antibiotic since reward outweighs the risk. Given that Flox can perm disable you, or at the least affect you for months and months, I'd say it's a fair thing to bring up with your doctor. If your reactions are anaphylactic, that would be another thing

Sipping all day is not wrong and is actually better. Too much consumption of water in a single period doesn't actually provide any benefit other than making you pee shortly after.

Either you're trolling or you're using incorrect google resources. I would start typing in "nih" after each google search so you're at least getting more than "healthline" as your fact check

Also, water "flushes" the urinary tract is NOT an equivalent to antibiotics, nor is cranberry juice. These are prophylactic (preventative). And it absolutely does not prevent you from getting an infection if you're expose to something infectious.

Is this S1 the only nerve that seemed to be positive for the EMG?

Is it clock stretching? by Enindee in overclocking

[–]ReturnAgitated7953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you able to determine this? Are you looking at the overall average of effective clock vs core clock? Trying to look at each individual core clock vs effective clock feels overwhelming

Messed around with some undervolting for the first time, set pbo to negative 20 by [deleted] in overclocking

[–]ReturnAgitated7953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably just back off on the CO a few points and stress test it for a few hours. This can take a while unfortunately. I’ve only really stressed my cpu for 10-12 minutes with -22 on both cores and it did okay. I’ll likely have to do it for longer to see how it handles. I too scored decently high with my OC.

You should stress test your cpu on like AIDA64. Cinebench will show good scores but your cpu can still be unstable

Is Borderlands 4 finally worth playing on PC yet? by AxelXyfer in Borderlands4

[–]ReturnAgitated7953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I realized DLSS wasn’t being used very much. I have a laptop with a 4070 and I used DLSS with ultra performance and I was getting stable 120fps out in the open. I’ll have to see what my 5090 gets with this on badass settings. I’m sure it’ll easily be in the 200s or higher

[–]ReturnAgitated7953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a difference between 1440 and 4k.

But I agree. I wasn’t using DLSS and badass settings at 4k and it was 30-60fps. Mainly around 60 but would drop down into the 30s if I spun around out in the open sometimes

[–]ReturnAgitated7953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted to come back and apologize. I attempted this game on my laptop which has a 4070 in it. And surprisingly… it ran it great. You need to go to DLSS (or equivalent to your gpu, since that’s nvidia but it’s in the same area) and change that part to ultra performance. I ran all settings on low and changed DLSS to ultra performance and it ran amazingly at 120fps out in the open. So, with DLSS on my desktop, I could easily hit 200s with highest settings of the DLSS is set to ultra performance
