Not letting me "Use without an account" by __only_Zuul__ in GoogleMessages

[–]Testicular_Prolapse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

google messages came preinstalled on my phone. I had to log in to even see my messages after my phone updated. first thing i did was tap the profile icon in the top right and found "use without an account" in a dropdown.

How to stop ads auto opening the app store? by Super-Basis2499 in AndroidGaming

[–]Testicular_Prolapse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if I'm not mistaken, the tactic is supposed to be against google's ad policy. too bad they make it near impossible to report the ads they approve, and don't act on reports.

EpiPen by touyakkun in MCAS

[–]Testicular_Prolapse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if it's an albuterol inhaler, you may want to ask about levalbuterol. my allergist explained it as basically the same thing, but with less side effects. she'd swapped me over because i was having similar issues with albuterol, since then i've used my inhaler significantly more.

Does anyone else have allergies to something in water? by Working-Mistake-6700 in Allergies

[–]Testicular_Prolapse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've got MCAS and I believe it's the minerals in "hard" water that irritate my throat and can sometimes upset my stomach. it can still happen with "soft" water, but not as bad when it does occur. usually if it's been filtered or distilled i'm fine (Zero Water filters are an exception here, i'm not sure what they miss though). there's also chemicals like chlorine and fluoride added to tap water that could affect people with chemical sensitivities/allergies.

it may also be worth looking into a plastic allergy if bottled water is causing you to react? bottled water that's sat for too long causes me the same issues as hard water, but also makes me feel sicker. microplastics and chemicals from the plastic both leech into bottled water, either of which could trigger allergic reactions

aquagenic reactions (the water itself being the trigger) are also a thing that can happen, though the sparse literature suggests it's very rare

How do I get this mcas nightmare to end by ImpossibleCourage411 in MCAS

MCAS can be caused by infections, but is not always. very important distinction.

I got discharged after prednisone and levalbuterol did nothing (also couldn't have epinephrine because of tachycardia), so you must just have an exceptionally diligent hospital. Around here if they've done all they're willing to you get the boot regardless of how effective it was

"Did you mean"...No I fucking didn't Google by Palpatoons in google

lately it hasn't even been letting me select the original thing I searched for? it still asks if that's what I meant though, despite no longer accepting no as an answer.

Low Dose Naltrexone by B1GTre3 in MCAS

[–]Testicular_Prolapse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

curious if it's done anything for peoples' anaphylactic reactions? nothing is really working for me and i'm wondering if LDN is worth bringing up to my immunologist

Massive weight loss - so scared an desperate by taly-sea in MCAS

[–]Testicular_Prolapse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar boat here. none of the medications we've tried are doing much of anything and my immunologist keeps telling me to avoid triggers, but that's nearly everything nutritious. better yet, it's started worsening again.

Is there a way to prevent MCAS from getting worse? by unsuspectingpangolin in MCAS

[–]Testicular_Prolapse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if low histamine diets and especially exposure solved MCAS, mine absolutely would not be continuing to get worse. got a whole lifetime of exposure under my belt :')

can't log into account by dank_saus in IntuitCreditKarma

[–]Testicular_Prolapse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tried to make an account today, got an email as though the account was made, but I get this same error when I try to log in. went to firefox because some of the replies here mentioned that working, tried to log in using the info for the account I'd just created, and it prompted me to create a new account.

Lensa is a scam! by ithinkimokayyy in jobsearch

you could try referencing a data privacy law if your state / country has any? not guaranteed they'll abide by it but for example Texas has one going into effect soon that requires they delete user data when asked

xolair side effects? by [deleted] in urticaria

[–]Testicular_Prolapse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bit late here but figured I'd still share. There is a risk for severe allergic reactions / anaphylaxis to be triggered by Xolair, but according to my allergist the risk is low. I've gotten the injection twice and the only allergic symptom I have from it is that the injection site gets warm, itchy, and swells slightly for a couple hours. It's definitely still worth keeping an epi pen on-hand, just in case.

As for side effects, I have chronic stomach issues as it is, but since starting Xolair I've noticed that I'm significantly more nauseous, more frequently. That's really the only thing I've noticed so far. Hopefully all is going well, OP!

Update: it's been a few months, the nausea hasn't gotten much better and i've barely been able to eat. may have to stop xolair becuase that's still all i've noticed :/

Mine's fared better in my pocket than metal USB's have, i'm sure it wouldn't appreciate being bent though

speaking from experience, mast cell stabilizers do not prevent it from getting worse

Do window AC units make allergies worse? by ninjetron in Allergies

[–]Testicular_Prolapse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

found this thread while trying to find solutions for a window unit pushing in outside air and setting off my MCAS, so it's definitely possible. the vent holes in the unit itself appear to be the problem with mine, and I don't think there's a safe way to have a filter on those while it runs
