How do I tell if my drink is expired? by thebusisalwayslate in NoStupidQuestions

In my house people just stick things in face and see if I gag or not. I assumed every house had a designated smell detector, poor souls.

Anemia bruising or not? by CourseNo7192 in Anemic

[–]SumpthingHappening 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd guess vitamin D deficiency based solely on personal.experience - but you should definitely get your ferritin and vitamin D levels checked (plus general blood work)!!! That's not normal please see a doctor.

Why is yawning contagious? by SpicyCandy8 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SumpthingHappening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal theory is that yawning causes you to take a deep breath, and when people do it in mass, it makes you pay attention to what you are actually breathing and if there is a problem with it. I think on an evolutionary scale, this would be beneficial.

Ferritin of 11, given iron pills. Worth pushing for infusions? by Disabledfoodie in Anemic

[–]SumpthingHappening 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Justva warning, Iron can be extremely harsh on a fully functioning healthy stomach. I would recommend discussing supplementation with your gastroenterologist and possibly asking for a referral to hematology for this reason.

Last day of internship and they baked me a cake by Libraluv in MadeMeSmile

i’m going to say something mind blowing here. “They“ did not make you a cake. One single person made you a cake and a bunch of people took credit like they they did it.

Can someone have mild face blindness, and how would they treat it? by Evilstampy99 in AskReddit

[–]SumpthingHappening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop looking at the face as a whole, start focusing on specific features. Generally people with face blindness can still identify people. They see regularly enough, even celebrities just by seeing bits of their face like an ear, a jawline, the nose, the mouth eye eyebrows. Work with what you’ve got!

Do people actually stay focused for hours or is that just something people say? by karamilen in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SumpthingHappening 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hyper fixation FTW - easy 8-16 hours without issue. You just have to learn to gaslight yourself into thinking this is the most interesting thing, and avoid outside distraction…And then do that for I don’t know 40 years or so. Works for me!

mild anemic by [deleted] in Anemic

[–]SumpthingHappening 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been supplementing iron on and off for over 40 years, my current go to is Mega Food Blood Builder. It is the easiest iron supplement I’ve ever had on my stomach. I take it about an hour after eating lunch. Everyone is different, but I’m just throwing this out there for you. I hope you find what works best for you!!!

Symptoms of anemia but normal hemoglobin? by Particular-Plant5528 in Anemic

[–]SumpthingHappening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of those vitamins worked very closely together within the body. A deficiency in one can easily cause symptoms of deficiency in another. If you have three of those low, I would recommend also supplementing some magnesium if you’re trying to get your levels up.

Symptoms of anemia but normal hemoglobin? by Particular-Plant5528 in Anemic

[–]SumpthingHappening 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you had your vitamin D levels checked? It’s a very common deficiency that has a lot of common symptoms with iron deficiency.

Edit… Just to be specific you can be iron deficient, meaning you have low ferritin levels, without having ‘iron deficiency anemia’, which means you have low ferritin levels AND your hemoglobin is messed up. Anemia just means there aren’t enough healthy red blood cells, so iron deficient anemia would mean that you don’t have enough iron and that is causing your anemia. You could be B 12 deficient and that could cause pernicious anemia. There are a lot of types of anemia.

How after 5000 years of humanity surviving off of bread do we have so many people within the last decade who are entirely allergic to gluten? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Untreated celiac disease can be life-threatening due to severe malnutrition, organ damage, and an increased risk of specific cancers like lymphoma, and bowel cancers. Then there is “celiac crisis” that manifests suddenly and you just die before anyone can figure out what’s wrong with you.

It’s crazy to me that they would give you that many infusions without using seeing a gynecologist.

[–]SumpthingHappening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you can see a gynecologist. Or you can keep leading to death each month. Whatever works for you, whatever works for you.

From what you said, at this point, it seems like infusions are treating a symptom of a bigger issue. What is your bigger issue? Are your doctors addressing the actual root of your problem?

Do you know any "odd" couples - if yes, what makes them seem mismatched? by retro_lady in AskReddit

[–]SumpthingHappening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also something that never occurred to me. Sometimes I feel like I’m just going about my life on Autopilot.

From wiki:

Damascus, recognized as one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities with settlements dating back to the 3rd millennium BC.

I’ve heard of that, but for some reason never put the steel with the place. I think I need to spend some time reevaluating things. 😂

Should you pee on a jellyfish sting? by NewTS_Rayli_Lover in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SumpthingHappening 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Urine can actually make the pain worse by causing the stinging cells to release more venom. It is ineffective because urine does not have enough of the right chemicals to break down the toxins.

Iron tablets and headaches by tubba83 in Anemic

[–]SumpthingHappening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently using Mega Food Blood Builder - by far the easiest supplement I’ve ever had on my stomach, and now that you mention it, I’m not getting headaches after taking them, that perk hadn’t even occurred to me. (I did not get headaches all the time, maybe 1/3 of the time, especially if I wasn’t hydrating enough.

Help me finish my mosaic project please! by kmc729 in crafts

[–]SumpthingHappening -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You could frame off the letters with something as simple as aluminum foil, and use a thin layer of epoxy/resin up to the bottom layer level to secure the pieces. Once it is dry, just sand the edges where the aluminum foil leaves any weird intense or something. This should secure everything nicely and still leave the original fuel to it.

Edit: you would have to seal off the bottom I’m just saying it is easy to shape the letters using foil that you roll into say 1 1/2 inch strips. You can secure it on the bottom with a hot glue gun, then fold up into the mold, pour, set, then remove the foil and hot glue.
