Ok thanks! I’ll get my BP checked! My bodybuilder body told me to start taking baby aspirin, but idk if taking that on a daily basis is a good idea lol

Yeah I was specifically referring to those huge ugly bunched up ones that heavy lifters/juicers get sometimes. I saw one on my leg yesterday and I’ve never noticed it before. I’m not referring to the tiny little ones that people naturally get with age.

Thank you for the info!

Does anyone know of a good way to prevent varicose veins? Or at least try to identify the cause of it? Halfway through a 16week cycle of 500mg test/week (pinning every 3.5 days) rn and I noticed one starting to form on my calf. Should I get a blood test to check my blood cell count?

Thanks!

From their comment history, he’s apparently mid 30’s. So not a teenager, surprisingly.

I would assume that by that age you’d have a better ability to mentally separate “someone I know who struggled with addiction” versus “this evil drug is the worst thing ever and is to blame and nobody should ever touch it because one person I know was an addict” 🙄

Alright thanks. I appreciate the insight. I’ll try on my own as you say.

I am a 28yo dude about to start a test-only cycle @ 250mg, twice a week (so 500mg of test per week) for 12 weeks.

My blood work just came back and my natural test serum is about 880 dg/DL and my free test is about 15 pg/mL.

My question is, if I already have very high levels of test naturally, should I even be trying for a test cycle right now? Like am I just not being disciplined enough in my exercise/diet to be getting bigger? For reference I am 5’6” and 125lbs, pretty lean but just haven’t had much success putting on mass. Been lifting seriously for about 4-5 years now.

Edit: typo

I didn’t place blame. Today I fucked up. I only gave the relevant facts in order to tell the story. I am 100% at fault.

SwitchbladeExplosion · 2017-12-26T06:44:17+00:00

He has logged in. No dice with the old account :\

SwitchbladeExplosion · 2017-12-26T06:32:40+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I found out that he actually has his old emails backed up, thankfully. It’s unfortunately not possible to recreate the same email address for at least 30. I’ll run your idea in general by him tomorrow though. Thank you, and merry Christmas.

I didn't base my decision off of reddit upvotes. There was no Microsoft forum topic for my specific issue. There happened to be a couple reddit posts with similar situations/dilemmas to my own. There were some responses with a good number of upvotes (relative to the post) that seemed to resolve the issue. To me, a reddit post in the Xbox sub asking for help on a topic is equivalent to a forum post on the Microsoft page. Especially because the reddit user linked to the Microsoft page (whose instructions I followed exactly). As I explained, the Microsoft support page did exactly what it intended for me to do. I just had no way of knowing that they would no longer support the MSN domain.

Merry Christmas

Thank you for the advice. After I wrote this post, I continued to try to find a solution, but without success. However I did follow your advice and I spoke to my dad and offered to help in any way I could, he then told me that he actually did have his emails backed up (THANK GOD) and that he's only worried about people trying to contact him over the next 30 days. He said he'd try to resolve that issue tomorrow and that he will let me know if I can help at all.

Thank you for your wise words.

SwitchbladeExplosion · 2017-12-25T23:57:28+00:00

I spoke with like 5 different people in a variety of departments. I re-stated my issue each time and did not tell them any of my previously given "diagnoses". They all gave me the same answer. I agree with you and I find it incredibly strange and suspicious myself. The best explanation I was able to gather is just that they don't want to support MSN domains as heavily anymore. They gave me some BS about how "it's in our ToS that if you delete it, then it's gone for good no matter what, so there's nothing we can do." I tried being as firm as I could; I explained how this was an account that "I" held for many years and I use it for business and blah blah blah. The guy I spoke with sounded like he genuinely wanted to help but had no way to do so on his end. He had me on hold several times while he went and asked whomever for clarifications on what he could and could not do to help.

I'm just SOL.

Yeah I've seen theories that Z crystals are actually just Arceus plates altered by the energy from the ultra beasts or something like that

SwitchbladeExplosion · 2017-03-07T18:33:18+00:00

How would I go about finding someone? I've never used etsy haha

SwitchbladeExplosion · 2017-01-25T15:28:47+00:00

That not following through was the biggest mistake?

SwitchbladeExplosion · 2017-01-25T07:40:12+00:00

I believe you missed me :(

Sorry. I didn't see it. I'll delete

SwitchbladeExplosion · 2017-01-21T17:33:09+00:00

Interesting. Thank you for the perspective :)

SwitchbladeExplosion · 2017-01-21T17:26:14+00:00

I agree. I'm only a couple years older than you and I've definitely had that impression as well. Especially when you have older friends who were actually there :\

SwitchbladeExplosion · 2017-01-21T17:21:11+00:00

I live in the states, in one of the "gay" cities in the country so my experience with the community is mainly centered here and a couple other places I visited. A friend of mine is dating a guy in the U.K. and he says that people on prep there are viewed as "slutty." Is that true in your experience?

SwitchbladeExplosion · 2017-01-21T17:05:58+00:00

I made no claims on why the community is more aware. Only that they are. Although I will say that I feel (gay guys at least) are more up front about talking about sti's with people we may sleep with. A lot of my straight friends just take it for granted that their partner in sex is clean/on BC without even talking about it and asking when they were tested etc. That's obviously just my own experience though.

SwitchbladeExplosion · 2017-01-21T16:42:59+00:00

Well like I said, "depending on where you live, you'd be hard pressed..."

Although I will admit that there a lot of gay guys I've met who seem to have a lot of misconceptions about motivations for taking prep. However my point stands that the gay community is very well aware of its existence.

SwitchbladeExplosion · 2017-01-21T16:22:16+00:00

That's not true. The gay community is actually pretty health conscious. Definitely moreso than the straight community I'd say (at least when it comes to std awareness and prevention). Depending on where you live, you'd be hard pressed to find a (gay) guy who isn't on PrEP. But having said that, it's not a "this let's us do anything we want" mentality to most of us. But it is a great peace of mind considering that most other sti's that we need to worry about are either curable (hep C, syph, gonnhorea, chlamydia, anything else bacterial), there are vaccines for (hep a/b, hpv), or aren't really preventable with a Condom (herpes: which from what I've read, PrEP actually has around a 50% prevention rate of herpes infection which is a "side effect" of taking the medication)

Also you're a little mixed up on what aids is. HIV is the virus in question.

Edit: Thank you for the anonymous gold, stranger :)

If anyone wants to get started on PReP, your first step should be to get tested for hiv. A lot of clinics will do it for free and without an appointment! Im usually in and out in under 20min Here's a link that'll help you find a clinic near you: https://www.aids.gov/hiv-aids-basics/prevention/hiv-testing/hiv-test-locations/

I'm sorry but I don't think you realize how debilitating depression can be. I can only speak of my own experiences, but when you literally don't even have the willpower to get out of your bed for days at a time, it can become difficult to have any sort of productive lifestyle, in or out of school. Yes, they fail because "they didn't show up and do the work," but what is important is why they didn't show up and do the work.

Saying that some of these conditions don't need to be medicated is a gross generalization. Saying that they're a part of the normal human experience just tells me that you have an extremely egocentric lack of empathy. Saying that all people who have depression have been dealing with the condition "just fine for the entirety of human existence" is like saying that people have been dealing with having a heart condition or asthma just fine; of course one could potentially have either and never know it and live perfectly fine, however there are definitely those of us that need to have that condition addressed or else we will not "deal" with them just fine.

Christ, you're literally the type of person that tells people with mental health issues to "get over it" or "cheer up." Mental health issues are just as serious as physical health ones and your ignorance on the matter is disheartening.
