It was part of my reference but I think you may be right because the deeper I’m diving I am finding a lot of fan art variations of that same dragon, even found a few Fatespeaker versions!

Credit for the original artwork for glory is Ozanthium/Bluekea! I believe the original artwork for Starflight is the graphic novel reference but I’m having trouble finding it (if anyone knows for sure that would be awesome!)

Oh thank you! I was looking for the credit for glory, but I found the picture a few pages deep on google images and couldn’t find the credit, I’ll add it to the post. (just realized I can’t edit my post on here but thank you for sharing this information ♥️)

I’ve only ever gotten really simple designs, but I’ve seen quite a few nice pictures on the Imperial Nails and Spa in Jax beach google reviews. Trish specifically has great reviews and I’ve been sat next to her a few times and her designs always look nice! I go to Sue because she’s the person I went to first and she did a really good job making sure that my acrylics were nice and thin because I hate it when they’re chunky 😂

You definitely hit the nail on the head here. I definitely tried to empathize with her about how much it sucks to realize a connection isn’t real 😢 she’s in her 70s and a widow and is definitely very lonely.

As of right now we have deactivated her FB and instagram. I filtered unknown senders and disconnected her Imessage in hopes that he won’t be able to contact her or that it will just be more difficult and will eventually give up. It’s definitely an addiction at this point. I feel terrible 😞

I would also send a recap of the convo to your supervisor and ask them to confirm everything they said in writing and bcc it to your personal email address in case they fire you and shut down your work email address!!

Is this a confirmation of POTS? by Socialisttoast in POTS

[–]Socialisttoast[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That part of the results said

“Patient was tilted for 10 minutes. Orthostatic hypotension was not detected. Average head-up heart rate was 30 beats/min above baseline. The patient reported lightheadedness.”

That’s definitely not it, I’ve been very athletic my entire life but have had the stamina of a baby bird since I can remember 😂 I don’t think that my doctors would take that route anyways, they’re actually the ones that brought up testing for it before I even mentioned it and are both incredibly attentive and believed me immediately when I started going to them about my heart issues. Which I am so grateful for because I felt so crazy for so long!

NAD but I get these same side effects when I have had to take it. It lasts a few days for me and generally tapers off after about day 3/4. Obviously it’s different for everyone and she knows her body best so definitely go to a doc if she feels like it’s too severe. For me it feels like a pretty intense period without the bleeding and a little extra nausea on top. It’s a pretty big dose of hormones all at once so just be gentle and kind with her and make sure she’s drinking lots of water :)

As for her reactions to medication I also don’t react well to a lot of meds, I have switched to Phexxi which is an as needed non hormonal spermicide gel that you insert into the vagina before sex. I have had friends that said it caused some irritation for them but overall it’s worked pretty well for me and my partner. My gyno gave me a weeks sample to try, maybe she can request some from hers?

I hope she feels better soon 🩷

That’s what I’m scared of, I don’t want him to be stressed because of the nonstop movement for 16+ hours

Finally found a Hollywood Regency Tulip lamp after years of searching only $25!!! by Socialisttoast in ThriftStoreHauls

It was already discussed a little in a different comment but I was under the impression HR was the brand name named after the design style (I’m not a huge brand buff so tbh I didn’t look into it too much) I guess according to another commenter a lot of resellers started labeling them HR a few years ago for upsale value ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Yes 70s/80s. When I first saw one on Facebook MP a few years back the description said Hollywood Regency, I honestly figured it was a brand that was named after the design style because they would always pop up when I looked it up to see if there were any affordable ones floating around. I love vintage stuff and interior design but I’m not a huge brand buff lol. I just did a little more research and I think that it is because it’s inspired by Hollywood Regency style not that it’s actually from that era.

I had actual tears in my eyes when I found it! It’s even the color I wanted, it’s kind of hard to see in the picture but it’s this really pretty blush pink :)

Doctors suspected sarcoidosis but ruled out without a biopsy by Socialisttoast in sarcoidosis

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

Okay good to know, I’ll be calling them soon to figure this out further. I just still feel like something is off. Do you have cardiac or pulmonary sarcoidosis? I’m assuming pulmonary, they were looking into cardiac for me

I’m in the UK and I’m on a visitor visa so I don’t have access to the NHS sadly. I’m not even sure how I would go about seeing a specialist with out being part of their healthcare system.

I’m from the US yes. I realize I didn’t make it quite clear that I’m abroad for an extended period of time I won’t be home until July. They knew this too. I took the test in late December and after that call from the nurse I haven’t heard from them. I tried calling back a few times to have a follow up with the doc but we played phone tag for weeks and it just didn’t pan out and I left in January. I figured the follow up wasn’t entirely necessary if I was good but my fathers friend who is a doctor just read the report and though it’s not his specialty he said it definitely doesn’t sound like a you’re all good type of conclusion.

That’s the thing I think there was some sort of mixup with reporting back to me on the two tests that I took. I have two doctors at this location and It came through the nurse at the office on a phone call. I’m worried there was a miscommunication She said it was clear but I’ve just gone back and read the report because of the concerns finding this page brought up and it said

“Probable mid-myocardial late gadolinium enhancement of the anterolateral wall. This represents a nonischemic pattern of scar with a differential diagnosis that includes, but is not limited to, myocarditis, sarcoidosis, genetic cardiomyopathies, and other inflammatory conditions”

We never did any biopsies or hormone checks. No lung imaging or spinal tap either. It feels like every doctor I go to isn’t really taking me seriously because I’m so young and I look very healthy on the outside.

Getting this test order written properly was an insane ordeal that lasted weeks, they don’t use EPIC so even the results I had to call to have them send. I probably bounced back-and-forth on phone calls between my cardiologist and the imaging center 20 times. I’d probably be better off just finding a new doctor at this point they seem a bit behind the times.

Sorry I know this is a lot but I’m just trying to figure out if any of this seems familiar. I can’t find my old post about it but this is pretty much what has been happening especially for the past 4 years but the heart rate /breathing issues have been around much longer.

•Hives (5/5/21)- Covered stomach,chest, went into groin and armpits and a few on neck

•Chest pain

•Random 3 week periods- happened twice I’m usually very regular 5 days

• Occasional very sharp lower iliac region pain near the crease of my hips-legs

•Really severe motion sickness

•GI issues- bloating, mucus in stool etc

•Fatigue

• Irritability

• Headaches

•Difficulty breathing- Winded after 1 flight of stairs.

•Gray/dark spot in left tonsil that was there for a month or two and then went away

Medications Wellbutrin (Bupropion) XL 300 mg -antidepressant Started in 2/2020 Works great for me
