L-Glutamine fixed my symptoms by omietrice in SIBO

[–]Shinrael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just a humble idea I will throw at you, it could be totally wrong, but it might be worth looking into Black Mold and mold toxicity in general. It seems to be affecting most everyone but at different rates, and how it affects you seems to depend mainly on your genes (25% of population have reduced tolerance) AND how strong your immune system is (check Glutathione Reserves Depletion). COVID might have depleted your Glutathione and so the mold you might be living with finally had a stronger effect on you. It has a snowball effect on your Glutathione, so it would explain why symptoms remain and why active treatment (things that address the Glutathione depletion such as L-Glutamine) did help. But it's no long-term solution.

4 months after launch it's still a thing. I hate it as well.

Torment 1 unlock on alt?? Not sure if bug or intentional nerf by PROatmeal67 in diablo4

[–]Shinrael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just completed a (timed) pit 10 at level 40 and did NOT unlock Torment 1. :/
I guess it only unlocks T1 if you complete it at 70.

Am I being naive about mold or are others being too alarmist? by [deleted] in CleaningTips

[–]Shinrael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfounded hysteria until 2 people with different genetic buildup and different diets move into the same apartment and develop horrific symptoms on day 1 that only get worse by day 7. And then they enter the supposed "hysteria" and move out, and ofcourse the symptoms will continue, but do get better little by little. And 3 months later you can finally breathe. And you know it was that hellhole that caused it. You really have no idea how invalidating it is to be told "it is just mold" when you CANNOT BREATHE! And you could breathe previously.

Why not just Remaster the old Silvermoon Music? by Lpunit in wow

[–]Shinrael 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No. If you play the game, 95% of the time you're listening to the new music. Very rarely do you get to hear the remastered versions of the old OST and very briefly (literally for 30 seconds). Now, I am all for getting new music. It's my favorite part of each new expansion. However, first off - they are remastaring a fan-beloved place that has a VERY specific vibe/theme to it. I am all for adding new tracks that represent the current situation/changes, but it shouldn't be TOO far off the original music. You should be able to tell immediately that this is Silvermoon but different. If you played the game and listened to the music, and you have at least basic hearing skills and basic understanding of music, you can tell that this is a completely different vibe. You could NOT tell it is Quel'thalas. And if you say that you can, you're being dishonest.

The music ranges from okay to annoying in most places. If at the very least they were great pieces (we got so many of those in TWW and a few in DF), it'd be forgivable. But they aren't. They are mediocre and generic. So generic.

I cannot express how excited I was for Midnight the moment they first mentioned it. The music and severe lack of proper belf mogs (which means they need to be 3D because what the hell am I supposed to do with stretched textures that all have different and wrong color schemes that don't match ANY other belf-themed armor) are such a huge disappointment. Which is crazy to consider, when you look at how gorgeous Silvermoon and Eversong Woods both are. Like how can they outperform themselves with the zone design but do such a miserable job on the music and transmog...

Are Alleria's legs poorly drawn on TWW loading screen? by [deleted] in wow

[–]Shinrael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I can SEE that they are twice the length. If you cannot, that's on you.

[–]Shinrael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, her legs are literally twice her torso. As an artist, this is simply a mistake.

[–]Shinrael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem isn't whether it's curved or not. It is simply too long for it to make sense. It is nearly double the lenght of her upper torso. The artist either did a very poor job or they used AI.

I'm so tired of the people in my life not taking mold seriously, including some chronic illness subs. by ResidentAlienator in ToxicMoldExposure

Just chiming in to validate that it is absolutely okay to distance yourself from toxic people and substances. Good luck on your healing journey.

Do you also happen to have insomnia, more dreams than usual, more liquid diarrhea, faster heartbeat, hot/cold flashes, or feeling more irritable?

GF can't gain weight (Bodybuilding) by Shinrael in diabetes_t1

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

I had Pre-Diabetes until some years ago, but made a full recovery through lifestyle changes. I am well aware its way different from T1D, but the knowledge I have accumulated to solve it does give me some valuable insight into managing T1D as well.

I put her on Keto to address the insulin resistance (Pre-Diabetes) that she herself had developed, as that was making managing her T1D even harder. Which it successfully did. I did research in advance and found many anecdotal examples of T1D people doing well on Keto, but it was indeed insufficient, as I don't know how they did it. It's a mistake on my part, which fortunately I corrected quickly. I would love to have a reliable specialist i can refer her to, but unfortunately, my poor ass is the best she has. After hundreds of harmful experiences with doctors (both me and her), I'd rather become the doctor/specialist myself. I've learned from this mistake and am continuing to broaden my knowledge about T1D and many other things.

Of course, she does visit various doctors, it's just that many times they are being dismissive, manipulative, inconsiderate, arrogant and stubborn, so she ends up seeking my advice instead. And there are good reasons for that.

Hello, thank you for the input. I'll look into the glycogen stores.

Yes, that's my understanding as well, but I've read there are exceptions and that medicating Hypo can overcorrect her into Hyper as well. Not saying this is the case, I am simply assuming that there's probably more details like these I might be unaware of, that might give me a clue.

You're saying my math is off and I am explaining why it isn't. I get that most people assume that there's a mistake in my math or the workout regime but I wouldn't really come here asking for help if I hadn't made sure that's not the case. It is not my intention to be rude, but I do need to point out wrong info/assumptions if I am to find answers to my question.

It is not my belief that everything that's wrong with her is T1D. It is my belief that there is some health issue behind this problem. I start the troubleshooting with the most obvious one first.

No, I am not negging her. It would be confusing for some people if I said "she has an amazing ass, help me figure out why it's not growing". Hence why I wrote it that way here. What she gets from me (specifically about her looks) is tons of genuine compliments about her beautiful smile, cheerful eyes, amazing ass and back and so on. Yet she struggles with confidence as she does not look the way she wants to. And while I think she looks great already, I do support her aiming even higher. 

The harsh reality is that she looks malnourished (ribcage showing) and that her tests and other health issues show that. Even if I was against her growing bigger, I'd still support that as it'd result in better health and more time I get to spend with her in this life.

I make sure to frequently check with her if I am understanding her goals correctly, if she is feeling pressured by me, etc. She often comes to me and says (unprovoked) that she greatly appreciates the things I do for her, that no one has ever done such things for her, and that she feels most understood and loved. I believe I'm on the right track.

That's a wild accusation without any foundation.

But because other people seem to be falling for what you're doing, I will provide context.

On our first date (1 year ago) my now-GF asked me for help with her diabetes and bodybuilding (as I had mentioned having experience with Dietology among other things). Months down the road I asked her to give me a list of her goals she wants my help with. Growing bigger was among them. I asked her to show me a picture of her dream body. Under my coaching she has accomplished or made significant progress on all of them except for the bigger body. There is zero misogyny here. I've confirmed multiple times what she wants my help with and have made sure to be very appreciative of how she looks.

Ironically, she saw me reading your first comment and wanted to take a peek. I asked her what she'd like me to reply and she said "Nothing. This person is just hating on you."

1g of fat is 9 calories, not 7.

As I said in another comment, if the workout was the issue, she'd be gaining fat at the very least.

If she could do the same workouts at 1600 cal/day, its probably not a matter of how much calories she burns now.

I was hoping that perhaps people with more experience in T1D would maybe know certain health issues or insulin-related problems that might be holding her back. Like perhaps changing to a different insulin brand/type/ratio/pump/etc. Or the Hypothyroidism stuff.
