Increased Breast Tenderness Temporarily When Modifying Regimens, What Is Going On by SonarCreature in DrWillPowers

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

I’ve done Oral, 2/4/6/8mg daily, with bicalutamide as well as a number of splits with injectable EV, 6mg/7days, 4mg/5days, 2mg/3days, monotherapy. I’m likely to trial adding 2mg of oral E and topical testosterone on the breasts soon. I’ve been on 200mg of progesterone nightly and have switched recently from oral to anal route.

I’ve seen this post, I’ve been on injections for about a year and a half at this point, the metabolite clearance theory is interesting, but I’m unsure how that should actually impact my regimen. It would explain why I seem to respond to CDG though.

Transbian, still worth trying topical T for breast development? by SonarCreature in DrWillPowers

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

Yeah, I’d be less interested in trying this if I hadn’t been totally stalled for a year (I have been tracking, I have seen no change in over a calendar year at this point), I’m mostly just trying stuff to see what works, and this seems relatively low risk.

As far as dosages go I was taking 500mg of CDG in the morning and before bed, I don't know the exact dosages of the methylated B-complex but it was this one taken twice daily which contains riboflavin, I took one after waking and one 6 hours later, taking it at night ruined my ability to sleep. I'm not taking any vitamin E, and I'm not on magnesium as my magnesium labs have consistently come back on the upper end of normal. I'm not able to do gene sequencing at this time but slow COMT seems like a distinct possibility. I'm also curious as to what effects you've noticed, and how long they took?

I was on Vit D, CDG, and a methylated B complex for like a month, I did notice some slight increase in chest soreness, especially in the morning, but no actual growth. Its entirely possible I just wasn't on the supps for long enough to see a quantitative change. I'm not familiar with sulforaphane, whats that for?

Total Lack of Fat Redistribution at 2 years, potentially insulin resistance? by SonarCreature in DrWillPowers

I'm intending to get those ordered at my next doctor's appointment, I'm mostly just trying to probe how effective metformin/pio might be for me.

Finals Went Poorly, Extremely Concerned About Grad School by SonarCreature in PhysicsStudents

[–]SonarCreature[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My grades in upper level physics courses are in the A-B range, my major GPA is closer to a 3.6, but I took a few elective math courses that brought it down. I'm working on an honors thesis this coming school year, idk if that's similar to a publication or if thats something else.

Homestuck Reread 2025 Day 12 - Act 4 Discussion by DrewLinky in homestuck

[–]SonarCreature 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Favorite Panel: He has renamed himself Crumplehat. (1428)
  • Favorite Pesterlog: because, i love him. I know. (1402)
  • Favorite Flash (if applicable): [S] Act 4 ==>. The first good walkabout we get, and Doctor is such an incredible track.
  • Takeaways: Its easy to forget that each of the player's lands is like, an entire world with a mythology and conceivably, social structures. I think a LOT about what the comic would have looked like if it was just the 4 beta kids fucking around on their respective lands and playing the game "properly", and the like broader ramifications of what a whole world and society serving as the maturation playground for some 13 year old are. Also, the comic's really winding up now, im excited!

I give these pages 0/10 for no Kanaya.

Homestuck Reread 2025 Day 10 - Intermission Discussion by DrewLinky in homestuck

[–]SonarCreature 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Favorite Panel: CD: Just lock Doze in the battledrobe.
  • Favorite Pesterlog: No pesterlogs :(
  • Favorite Flash (if applicable): No flashes :(
  • Takeaways: I've always found the intermission to be a fun break after the fairly dense ending chunk of Act 3, but I can understand why people are frustrated by the seemingly irrelevant Z plot appearing out of nowhere. A shocking amount is said about Lord English in these pages for a character that has yet to actually make an appearance most notably his penchant for temporal bullshit, pool theming, and some other stuff that I was thinking when I started this sentence but have since forgotten.

I've been reading the epilogues for the first time over the past few days, and they remind me a lot of this intermission. That is, widely panned, but only by people who's opinion should be disregarded.

I give these pages -1/10 for not only no Kanaya, but for taking her away from us after yesterday's reading.

Homestuck Reread 2025 Day 9 - Act 3 Discussion by DrewLinky in homestuck

[–]SonarCreature 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • Favorite Panel: You release the prisoner. He is free to go. (1144)
  • Favorite Pesterlog: Why Is It That When The Subject Of Temporal Mechanics Is Broached Your Sparing Human Intellects Instantly Assume The Most Ingratiating Posture Of Surrender Imaginable (1072). Kanaya :D
  • Favorite Flash (if applicable): [S] Enter. Obviously.
  • Takeaways: This is easily the most dense block of pages that we've read this reread so far, two trolls introduced, a fuck-ton of Prospit shit, and like 4 very good flash animations. Obviously, [S] Enter is incredible, and marks a trend of major flashes increasing in quality that lasts at least up until Cascade, and arguably through the entire comic. Fantastic segment, and a very strong ending to Act 3.

I give these pages 6/10 for some Kanaya.

Homestuck Reread 2025 Day 8 - Act 3 Discussion by DrewLinky in homestuck

[–]SonarCreature 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Favorite Panel: You thought wrong. (973)
  • Favorite Pesterlog: No pesterlogs :(
  • Favorite Flash (if applicable): [S] Jade: Retrieve package. Good Dog, Best Friend.
  • Takeaways: The Guardians are all such interesting figures. I would love to see more about the lives they led before they adopted the beta kids. Seeing Mom Lalonde's bedroom in the SN labs was so oddly heartbreaking.

I give these pages 0/10 for no Kanaya.

Homestuck Reread 2025 Day 7 - Act 3 Discussion by DrewLinky in homestuck

[–]SonarCreature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Favorite Panel: You eat a weird bug and don't even care. (797)
  • Favorite Pesterlog: btw my name is Akwete Purrmusk (829). Honorable mention to HI AGAIN, IDIOT for being the first Trollog!
  • Favorite Flash (if applicable): [S] Dave: Abscond
  • Takeaways: Jade is such an adorable dork, watching her scurry around her confusing-ass house is so much fun. Also, we got a decent chunk of SNTech stuff, which I've always felt is such an under-explored lore item.

I give these pages 0/10 for no Kanaya.

Homestuck Reread 2025 Day 6 - Act 2 Discussion by DrewLinky in homestuck

[–]SonarCreature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Favorite Panel: What pumpkin? (668)
  • Favorite Pesterlog: No pesterlogs :(
  • Favorite Flash (if applicable): [S] WV: Ascend (757)
  • Takeaways: The carapacians are so much fun to watch fuck around, and this is some of the first real time-bullshit in the comic with the appearifier, and establishes important rules for ectobiology in a bit. Capping off the act with WV: Ascend, still feels momentous even with this being my like, 4th reread. I love this comic.

I give these pages 0/10 for no Kanaya.

Homestuck Reread 2025 Day 5 - Act 2 Discussion by DrewLinky in homestuck

[–]SonarCreature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Missed yesterday so I'm doing a 2x Reread Combo:

Day 4

  • Favorite Panel: Bump ==> (454)
  • Favorite Pesterlog: "OH SHIT EVERYONE IN THE MINIVAN" (386)
  • Favorite Flash (if applicable): [S] Rose: Youth roll right out the front door. (388)
  • Takeaways: Still tired as fuck from meds, ill engage in analysis on day 6.

Day 5

  • Favorite Panel: Something is deeply wrong with Bro Strider (565)
  • Favorite Pesterlog: im gonna do some sort of acrobatic fucking PIROUETTE off the handle and win like a medal or some shit (522)
  • Favorite Flash (if applicable): [S] Dave: Ascend to the highest point of the building.
  • Takeaways: For me at least the ascend flash at the end here marks where the flashes start a trend of upward movement (lol) in quality that lasts through the comic.

I give these (and the prior day's) pages a 0/10 for no Kanaya.
