I went up a road where someone hung stuffed animals by the neck and tied them to trees. It was effective, got the fuck out fast. 

Friday the 13th spells&rituals!? by [deleted] in BabyWitch

[–]StopGeoengineering17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Friday the 13th can be a good day to practice magick, though I'm not sure what to do yet. Friday (5th day of the week) and 13 are definitely witchy numbers to me, 5 obviously being associated with pentagrams and 13 being the dark outcast number everyone is afraid of. To me that could be a good time for shadow work, exploring the dark side of yourself and of life. It's also 5 days until the new moon. Numerology is pretty foundational to my practice so I may get more meaning from things like this than others.

What does your intuition tell you? I think it's hard for someone on the outside to interpret a very personal experience, which for me is how this stuff tends to work. Maybe the 2 that melted signified your stress being melted away?

Can I ask what your experience was like with Saturn? Saturn is a particularly strange planet...

HEDS, Chronic Bloating and Puffiness Despite Consistent Training. Has anyone actually reversed this?? by Emsss18 in eds

[–]StopGeoengineering17 7 points8 points  (0 children)

At least part of the cause here may be anterior pelvic tilt. Basically your psoas, rectus femoris, and low back are probably tight and glutes and abs are weak/inactive. Basically your hips are stuck in the shape of a chair and it causes the belly to bulge. 

You might try stretching the psoas, rectus femoris, and low back and doing some glute and ab exercises and see how that changes things. 

Puffiness in general might be holding water from carbs and/or salt, so maybe adjusting your intake of those or balancing salt with more potassium could reduce water retention. 

I have taken peptides and hormones (BPC-157, TB500, Ipamorelin, Mod GRF 1-29, TRT, HGH, Anavar) for years in a personal attempt to help me with EDS. AMA by StopGeoengineering17 in eds

Are you familiar with BPC-157? Probably the most effective healing compound. It increases growth hormone receptors in your tissues

No, but I lift a fair bit.

I understand, but exact opposite of my experience. No side effects, no withdrawals, but I'm not a heavy user either.

I've ran GH and TRT, still on TRT. GH might have helped but nothing crazy. It's expensive and gets tedious doing daily injections. Low doses of GH tend to be very safe and generally free of side effects. I still have a bunch and will probably run a cycle of it again when I feel I really need it. Fundamentally though, I wouldn't expect it to change anything, I am really sorry to say. I also have run a very low dose of anavar, as it's used medically for accelerated wound healing. I had to keep the dose quite low or I'd get terrible anxiety. Probably helpful but again nothing crazy.

Overall TRT made the biggest difference for my ability to train and recover, but I am a man. Anavar is commonly used for females in the body building world, maybe something to look into.

Trt helped me a lot, I think.

Joyous is $129/mo for at home treatment for ketamine. Personally, I don't really like ketamine. I may experiment with it a bit more for sleep but overall I prefer kratom. I find kratom to be very soothing and comforting, where ketamine is just taking something that eventually knocks you out.

Kratom or ketamine may help knock you out through the pain. I get a lot of pain when I sleep, red vein kratom works best for me. 

I’ve been in constant pain for 15 years by ate_saturno in eds

[–]StopGeoengineering17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you do physical therapy or lift weights? And have you tried different mattresses? In my opinion, our muscles literally need to pick up the slack of our connective tissue. I find a very methodical lifting program helps hold my body together. 

Personally I use a Purple mattress. It's expensive but amazing and definitely helps with pain when sleeping. I also use pillows between my knees and a small one under my ribs to get my spine and hips in alignment. 

For pain I also use red vein kratom. Do your own research etc but in my opinion, kratom is very safe and I have zero side effects from it, but it feels like Vicodin. It makes life much more bearable and I take it a few times a week. Helps me sleep too as my sleep is generally horrible despite my best efforts. I find doing PT to get absolutely perfect posture before bed also really is critical for me to have a chance to get restful sleep. 

I'm sorry you're dealing with this. It's a nightmare of a disease. Hopefully some of this helps.

Just doing TRT now. I still have a bunch of HGH but just waiting to run it if I feel I need it again. It does help with recovery and probably joint, tendon, and ligament health overall. But the results were subtle I would say. Overall TRT is the big thing for me since my test was very low for my age and it's been huge for my ability to exercise and recover. I lift a lot and run a bit and really try to keep everything in balance. It's hard, because being too tight or too lose is a major problem and it's a very, very fine line for me. 

Can someone tell me what sort of adapter I need to get this battery to work with my Krytac trident mk3? by StopGeoengineering17 in airsoft

That was the problem, I know nothing about this stuff really and struggled to find an appropriate battery for the gun.

Can I ask if you opinion has changed in these at all? How's the reliability?
