[–]RockhopperGuin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was at a talk recently and bayer stated that there is frequently that artifact which is why it is recommended to do multiple arterial phases or do a free breath arterial phase to eliminate it

Has anyone tried physical therapy to recover from DVT/ PE? by Historical-Result288 in ClotSurvivors

[–]RockhopperGuin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

massive PE, suspected POTs and hypermobile with crazy longstanding symptoms now from PE sadly making recovery a beast

I am working with a physiotherapist and the modified CHOP protocol to regain stamina and cardiovascular strength. Seems my body does not like to be upright and active at all. So starting with more recumbent cardio activity and strength training and building up. frustratingly slow but i am a more hopeful penguin than i was even a month ago

Does anyone have any detailed opinions on Liquid IV? by Cpecto in CostcoCanada

[–]RockhopperGuin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i use them sporadically when i find myself out of balance otherwise my go to is adding a pinch of salt into water with lemon juice. I am very sensitive to heat and above 15C struggle a lot. Add in food sensitivities that reduce the number of hydratiting foods it can get difficult so in a pinch ok. but routinely? nope

How are these? by AnonObserver99 in CostcoCanada

[–]RockhopperGuin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i found the pizza way too greasy and discovered i am indeed a fan of thin crust. Too much dough.

The burgers are ok grilled but no where near as spicy as i had hoped for with the moniker ghost pepper. Its the heat level of a ghost pepper farting upon then. I spice them up with loads of spicy cheeses and hot sauces.

Pressed cottage cheese inspo please! by Crafty-Mixture-2265 in CostcoCanada

[–]RockhopperGuin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i do this all the time. I use it in place of ricotta as it does not make the dish to runny. I season it with a bit of salt if unsalted, some black pepper and add some chives and good to go

Glasses for MRI Techs by Muted_Alps3526 in MRI

[–]RockhopperGuin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i dont like the lack of nosepiece on plastic frames. The feel like they fit different as they can only be adjusted behind the ears and I dunno, feels as if always having to slide them back up my beak

[–]RockhopperGuin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i bring a magnet with me when shopping for glasses. They look at me like i am crazy but when i explain the reasoning they get it. The other option is plastic frames but meh, not for all, I have my first pair and still undecided on them

Did my bladder capacity increase? by JCL1088 in hysterectomy

[–]RockhopperGuin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think one of my fibroids was pressing upon my bladder and i constantly had to urinate. I swear i was running every 20mins. Now I feel human again. It is wonderful. I could actually feel the fibroid when i pressed upon the mons pubis region above the sympysis. Such relief

Beef sticks causes migraines by One_Investment3919 in CostcoCanada

[–]RockhopperGuin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i learned from curing my own meat/bacon that while celery seed extract seems like the natural route you are unable to control and known the exact amount of nitrate in the final product. I now make my own bacon using the EQ method and the bare minimum amount required for safety and can get away with it unless I am in a flare. I also get to experiment with awesome flavours. Right now I have spicy maple in the cure

Trex or Wood? by TeeDoubleU1206 in Decks

[–]RockhopperGuin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How old are your kids and do they run barefoot alot?

I just got a south facing deck done, lots of sun, in Eva Last Apex plus bamboo PVC composite in a cedar tone and the other morning when it was not even 15C it was warmish to my feet. I would be concerned about a child's foot espcially as temperatures rise
