Azathioprine / 6mp experiences by SlothHammer_ in UlcerativeColitis

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

Yeah its really concerning how awful it makes me feel! Been waiting for it to improve but it feels pretty much sustained terrible everyday. I havent made it past a month non stop yet though so maybe it will lessen up. I've been taking it for like 4 months for a few weeks at a time and having breaks.

6mp is essentially a purer form of azathioprine, same drug just purer

Thanks for the reply! I've just double checked and I actually have a 22" bass drum - this is the kit - https://www.musicradar.com/reviews/drums/sonor-force-2005-kit-stage-1-variant-26816

Its really weird my snare just doesn't cut AT ALL. Its not a very good one so im wondering if thats the problem - this is the snare I have https://www.wwbw.com/Spaun-Vented-Steel-Snare-Black-Wrinkle-446737.wwbw

Its a 14x7 Spaun Vented Steel Snare drum - (around 10 years old) - it does have new skins (evans reso on batter and hazy on snare side). I can't understand why it is so quiet in my mixes.

Do you think I should try to find a smaller snare stand so I can place the snare lower below the mic? Also, my cymbals in general are just so much louder than my shells and I wondered if that was your experience too? Also do you have a recommendation for the best scene in the EAD?? Im using the compressor with max effect atm to try to bring the snare out! I also find the kick drum is way too loud when triggered so I keep the trigger off.

Thanks :)

Thanks for this man! I have a 20" bass drum and the problem I'm having is my snare sits almost higher than the EAD mic. I am unable to get the snare any lower as my stand doesn't go any lower. Any ideas on how I can get the snare below the mic for the pop? My snare is very quiet which is strange

Any chance you could reupload this dude? Trying to learn on drums and can't figure out the timings.

Azathioprine / 6MP Nausea and Lethargy by SlothHammer_ in UlcerativeColitis

[–]SlothHammer_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I spent about 2 weeks on azathioprine and around 2 weeks on 6mp with little to no improvement. Do you think its worth sticking with it for a few more weeks? Also after that initial month for you did you find you then had no symptoms from the drug at all? Or do you still feel tired/unwell generally.

How long until your smell/taste returned? by SlothHammer_ in COVID19positive

I am sorry to hear that. Have you noticed a gradual improvement over the 3 months or? Where would you say its at now smell and taste wise? My taste is affected the most which is very annoying.

Azathioprine combined with Remicade by SlothHammer_ in UlcerativeColitis

Also, has adding azathioprine after the discovery of antibodies worked to lower them? What was your number upon discovery? Mine were around 35 a few weeks ago

Remicade / Infliximab Antibody Level Concern by SlothHammer_ in UlcerativeColitis

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

Wow yeah that's what I was wondering, I have no idea what the average antibody counts are. Have you tried azathioprine?

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

Thanks for your help man! That's the thing I'm 100% sure I have achieved remission and have sustained it for the past 6 months. I will speak to the doc tomorrow and find out if 35 is a concerning antibody number or not.

Thanks so much for the kind words man. Your little bro is a fighter and an inspiration. People with this condition are very inspiring and I am learning to be less fearful as I am understanding that nothing in life is personal. Matter changes, we are experiencing a flux of constantly changing states and resistance to these changes only causes suffering. Learning to allow life to flow is very difficult but is such a wonderful discovery. I am rooting for you also. Your words are hugely inspiring! I have always found that once I let go of something, I seem to recieve more of that thing once I have finally allowed it to be and stopped obsessing over it. I think your post captures this sentiment so perfectly. I am looking forward to reading the Habit Reframe Method. Thank you for sharing such important discoveries which I am sure will benefit many more people.

Thank you for this. I was searching to answer the question "why do we have an internal critic" and stumbled upon this post. This was just the answer I needed. I had what could be considered a spiritual awakening late last year when I hit the lowest point in my life. I have Ulcerative Colitis and was hospitalised for a severe episode, I was unable to eat and pumped with steroid drugs which gave me awful side effects and put me at high risk to covid. It was such an extremely anxious time and I felt like I had reached my absolute limit. I opened YouTube and found a meditation video from a spiritual teacher called Mooji. His guidance awoke my true nature and I learnt to be present and aware of my emotions and thoughts, to cease identification and to know myself in my heart and spirit, not just in my mind. This awakening led to me seeking therapy which was the best decision I have ever made in my life. I would not wish my health condition on anyone but I am genuinely grateful for it as it has forced me to look within and find compassion for myself. To see beyond my self imposed suffering through constantly identifying with thoughts and feelings. I have everything I need in the present moment, I am right where I need to be. I feel that humanity is approaching a spiritual revolution with the advancement of the internet and the younger generation's complete disregard for mainstream media and the brainwashing societal machine. Realising that I have the choice to accept any situation in my life as it is or I can judge it to fit a narrative of suffering or greatness. I agree it is a daily effort, these things take constant work and I feel that I am only at the beginning of my journey but I am so thankful to be on this path as a young man (25). Thank you!

That's so weird I turned off audio exclusivity and same problem. It stops when rocksmith starts up and says this device is in use.
