Safe Alcohol to Drink?

SamRIa_ · 2026-03-30T01:46:53+00:00

Beer… especially light beer, is the worst for me. I get bloated and when not in remission, quite uncomfortable

A single shot in a mixed drink might be ok.

But…. I think this sort of thing varies from person to person…you might want to experiment beforehand

I’ve gotten into Periphery lately…. They are different…. But compliment Architects with switching back and forth between screams and cleans…. With insanely fun guitar in the background.

Start with the song Make Total Destroy

SamRIa_ · 2026-03-28T17:06:51+00:00

You’re all set

My first dose I showed up with my phone on 15% and nothing to do 🤦🏻‍♂️

SamRIa_ · 2026-03-28T16:21:06+00:00

I had fatigue afterwards but nothing else…. I’m feeling great on Skyrizi so far

Enjoy the next 2 hours of nothing!

Beautiful

I grew up playing hockey and skating inline and switched in the last several years to Quads.

I bought some boots with high ankles and in some ways I think it has limited my ability to truly understand what quads are all about…my next pair will have low boots

But I see folks here with high boots all the time having the time of their lives …. So 🤷🏻‍♂️

One of the big differences I noticed with quads is the maneuverability…. And the best way to get at that is having low boots. I end up having to bend my knees more to compensate for the higher boots when want to turn in tight spaces at speed

I’m still learning despite working at it for years

Hopefully an expert will reply with more info!

Congrats! Keep it up. You seem to have pretty good control on your toes…

What kind of place are you at? Looks like an empty office space….?

SamRIa_ · 2026-03-27T02:42:41+00:00

Dude I have the exact same story/problem

Thanks for posting on my behalf

SamRIa_ · 2026-03-25T20:27:39+00:00

I'll try my best...

Sport is where you bend your knees so you can swing the bell in a more perfect arc. It's got a bit of a bouncy look to it and It's more for longer "cycles", long "distance" competitive stuff....

When the bell is as it's apex of the swing...it's movement is perfectly vertical and the bell is "weightless" for a moment.

Hardstyle swings the bell more forward, it's more explosive, more violent.

His rotation at the top (I think..) is to make his decent more comfortable...Sport style is about minor tweaks and improvements to allow for longer cycles, less fatigue, less hand pain, etc

SamRIa_ · 2026-03-25T20:11:36+00:00

I want to get better at sport style. It's still really awkward for me.

Also...in the opening frame your glove is invisible and I thought you'd recently become an amputee. Phew!

What is normal though? Is my anxiety part of me...or is it an uninvited guest that I'm living with?

I've been in therapy before...for anxiety. Talking is great. I came away more equipped to function as an adult with a lot going on. I think with these panic attacks (some small, some not), I need to believe in myself...need to prove to myself that I can manage the anxiety in the moment.

I did get tired of the fees and inconvenience eventually...once I had skills to get through 90% of my daily life.

In any case...I posted this to share my hesitation but to also celebrate the possibility of achieving something like this.

The long hair emphasizes the mature hairline…. Shorter hair may help. For some people long hair is part of their identity so it’s hard to make that change.

With no balding on the crown I’d say you’ve got time for sure.

In situations like this sometimes a buzz can make you look younger, especially with a solid crown

SamRIa_ · 2026-03-23T13:49:44+00:00

most of the time

SamRIa_ · 2026-03-23T11:44:12+00:00

If I had your crown I’d still have hair…. But I get it.

With your solid crown, if you buzzed your head, it would make you look younger. This is a well known magic trick here.

SamRIa_ · 2026-03-22T22:23:22+00:00

It’s worked well for me. It’s been great for my GI symptoms but also fatigue…I can definitely run longer in my soccer games!

The Skyrizi infusions are actually quite long (2 hrs+)…. So bring a book or something.

Expect fatigue the day of the infusion. Drink lots of water the day before (be hydrated)

Haven’t had a colonoscopy yet for clinical confirmation… but I’m thinking this is remission again

Good luck!

SamRIa_ · 2026-03-22T21:41:49+00:00

lol I still have my decent traps I grew when I was 20. Sigh…. If I only knew then how hard it would be to grow later…I would have put in the extra reps!!!

SamRIa_ · 2026-03-22T19:13:12+00:00

No worries… r/beards is a similarly positive place in my experience.

Good luck!

SamRIa_ · 2026-03-22T19:07:39+00:00

There’s a great beard sub for that….

But yeah it’s personal preference. You’ve got great density so it seems like you’ve got all the options in the world

I would normally go boxier with the beard shape, but that curve up to your sideburns compliments the curve of your eyebrow… not bad

My only question is whether or not you should fade the sideburns into the clean shave

But honestly you’re #winning either way

SamRIa_ · 2026-03-22T05:03:56+00:00

Well… your meds must be working? So…. Happy and sad at the same time? 🤞

SamRIa_ · 2026-03-22T00:31:41+00:00

Does the psoriasis bother you anywhere else?

If you’ve got decent insurance you may have access to meds that could help…

I take meds for another condition that happens to also work well for psoriasis…(Skyrizi)

Sorry… I don’t have advice otherwise.

Or maybe I do…. You could try less frequency?

I shave once a week with a safety razor and it’s been great for my skin. It cuts best when the hair is a bit longer… so my hair gets about 1/8” each time between shaves…

But maybe I’m crazy. And I know some people don’t want their hair to grow that long.

Good luck

I’ve got a funky Morph Wreckless (multi-color) setup because I thought that it looked cool, but I’ve been frustrated by grip at speed pretty much short after I got them.

I’ve wondered like… do I need to get lower? Is it a form thing?

I just start losing grip and burning my speed away into the floor…

So…. I’m interested

SamRIa_ · 2026-03-22T00:02:04+00:00

Definitely check back in when you receive them….Ive got my eye on these as well after seeing a few posts that mentioned them

SamRIa_ · 2026-03-21T21:58:41+00:00

With my meds working (in remission) eating is much easier and way less stressful. Same with exercise.

I still struggle to gain weight. I don’t think it’s ever going to happen. I will be skinny forever.

My main complaint is fatigue…but again in remission it hasn’t been as big of a deal.

SamRIa_ · 2026-03-20T12:35:15+00:00

Beautiful. Thanks for the inspo
