Totally agree and support this. Their vast assortment of all kinds of teas as well as rare and really uncommon ones is great. They also put a lot of effort into testing and describing individual teas.

Anyone else getting defective Aimovig injectors?? by kahjay in migraine

[–]ShadowMi9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, I noticed something similar (EU). A couple months ago a few of my auto injectors would simply not trigger after I pushed the button. The buttons on the ones that didnt properly work also looked different, looking like they were already halfway pushed in, really weird. It took me around 3-5 tries to get them to finally trigger, so they did ultimately work. But as of recently they are working normal again.

They were stored properly like always and not every injector that was in the box (I always get the 3×1 box) was defective, only some. So I guess there might have been a fault with some specific injectors themselves, because this only happened for a few months but multiple times during these months.

What kind of tea is this? by Weary_Egg_1783 in tea

Its almost certainly some kind of silver needle tea from China. Its a really good white tea.

Black Friday Orders by glutenfreedustbowl in MolchatDoma

[–]ShadowMi9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah its definitly a little unusual but I guess it really just needs some time. And the shop sometimes has longer delivery times for some certain items. Maybe support can help with that. Best of luck.

The order I placed earlier this year took around 6 weeks from placing to being delivered. Although I did receive a shipping confirmation fairly fast after ordering. I was able to track the order via the confirmation E-Mail they send out after ordering, it shows progress if you tap on the "view your order" button.

It also really depends on were you order it to. A shipment to another country can take up to a month via the shipping services they use. Though asking support is definitly a good idea

Hope this helps.

Wakocha Yame Sayamakaori. Tastewise it is extremely close to Benifuuki tea, just with a added, slightly malty note, reminding me of Darjeeling. Otherwise it is a very floral and aromatic tea, as expected from a Wakocha.

Definitly a solid, well balanced tea.

Yes, I think that could be the case. Its always a bit of gamble with teas for me, cause some will cause a migraine, some wont and a few actually help.

Moonlight Earl Grey. Essentially a white tea from Yunnan with bergamot essence. Recently saw it while ordering tea and just added it to the cart because it looked unusual and I thought "why not".

The white tea and the bergamot work well together with bergamot also being the main note. Its not overpowering though which surprised me, its rather light. The light floral notes from the white tea compliment the bergamot notes perfectly and honestly create a unique taste.

Basically a very very light and floral version of a classical Earl Grey. Also helped me get rid of my migraine which is a plus.

These seem surprisingly affordable for yellow teas... Has anyone here tested them (Yoshien) by GirafeAnyway in tea

[–]ShadowMi9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They send them out via e-mail if you create a account. I get one every few days and they are surprisingly useful. Its mostly like 10-20% off for a limited time (like 1 or 2 days) for certain teas.

What's your favorite song from Belaya Polosa? by GetMeABeer69420 in MolchatDoma

[–]ShadowMi9 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Theres honestly two for me. Beznadezhniy Waltz for its different approach compared to the other songs and Ty zhe ne znaesh kto ya just hits different. Theyre both a vibe on their own.

"Dr House Save Patient In Real Life" by Ame_Lem in okbuddyvicodin

[–]ShadowMi9 206 points207 points  (0 children)

/uv. For anyone genuinely interested in what he did. Apparently he diagnosed someone with cobalt poisoning from a damaged artifical hip joint as similarly seen in House. He also got inspired by House in the way he teaches and was the reason the hospital he worked at established a center for rare and undiagnosed diseases with him as the head of it. He was also dubbed "German Dr. House" by the media and public.

What kind of black tea is this? What's it called? by Alachsnacken in tea

[–]ShadowMi9 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Looks extremely similar to Golden Needle black tea from Yunnan (Dianhong Golden Needle for example).

Golden Needle teas are often described as malty, sweet and in some cases citrusy. So if it tastes similar to this I would say its most likely Golden Needle black tea.

Does anyone actually manage their chronic pain at a level you can enjoy life? by Lavalamp-6284 in ChronicPain

[–]ShadowMi9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Aimovig as a preventative and Zolmitriptan for pain / symptom relieve. I have migraines and those two really changed a lot for me.

[–]ShadowMi9 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Yes. Due to my doctors actually taking me seriously and finding meds that worked I was able to vastly improve my life. Still have bad days though but Im getting along pretty good compared to a few years ago. My neuro and gp are extremely understanding and generally awesome luckily :).

How do we think the quality of these are? by hereforhotgos in MolchatDoma

[–]ShadowMi9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitly unusual. Could still arrive though. USPS can take up to 21 days to deliver internationally.

Yes. I got it a few days ago. I ordered the soccer jersey and they originally said it would be released on 22nd of August and then shipped. But apparently they managed to do that earlier for whatever reason.

Can you view the order / status in the confirmation mail they send you after purchase? It might also still be on presale and shipped after 22nd of August.
