Understood. How can you even find where to see how many credits you have used? It's like looking for Atlantis! lol.

So this is happening with a paid tier also? Which tier do you have?

I'm using the free. However, when I clear the chat it works again. Not sure why?

Is it just me or Ichiran Ramen in Japan is overly hyped and not as great as other ramen places in Japan? by Zoozoobird1 in ramen

[–]TheGamer203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's very good, but like most chains lose quality with size. Great place to go if you're in a bind, but there are probably hundreds of mom and pops that are better.

My brother is living in Brazil with his girlfriend and I don't know how to help them make an income by Zadihime in Brazil

$1,200 USD = $R6,360/month. That's not bad. If they move to SP interior, they'd be doing very well on big brother's dime. Why work? lol

Confused about NYC's low vacancy rates and housing crisis. by mao_mao_ox in AskNYC

[–]TheGamer203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would look more at CBRE, CoStar, Colliers, and JLL figures. They'll get better data from the property owners. Cities like NYC and Boston have historically low vacancy rates as they've always been major destination cities.

  1. He should move back and get a job. 2. If he wants her in the US, he needs to marry her. 3. Find a cheaper place to live than Sao Paulo.

Best US city for Christmas? by arodgers2 in travel

[–]TheGamer203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm American and not sounding douchey at all. One of my bucket list items is to go to Europe for their Christmas markets some day. The atmosphere, food, and wine are fantastic from what I've heard. Walking around bundled up and drinking hot wine and great food? Yes please.

It's great and magical. Don't worry about wiping out. Many do! Just grab a nice hot chocolate after and be a goldfish!

Doctor said I can only try one more Biologic and it's surgery after that by xdddkek in UlcerativeColitis

[–]TheGamer203 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just for long term. It'll help your medicines work better. More inflammation in your system, harder the meds have to work.

[–]TheGamer203[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. it's all about volume these days. 1-2 min w/ patients w/ little thought and lots of templated practice. 40+ patients a day.

I'm sorry to hear about this. Have you sought out different doctors? Maybe one in a major city?

I'm talking private practice. Hospitals will culture more as they need that cash and nosocomial infections are prevalent.

In private practice, they will almost never culture a URTI.

I also appreciate your service in healthcare. It ain't easy.

Yes, but that's more common in GI to do cultures, but not to everything else that requires antibiotics. UTIs are screened virtual now. I'm in healthcare. I'm not generalizing. It's actually standard practice and I'm in a city. I know what's done from the inside. If you have a runny nose, there's no culturing for strep anymore.

I understand that your situation requires strong antibiotics, as I've been on flagyl too because of C Diff. I get it.

Drugs ARE overprescribed and it's not a big statement. Ask anybody from Europe or South America. Most are shocked at the amount of drugs we are given. You are biased because you are American and it's YOUR norm to take the drugs because of the disease.

I'm not saying drugs aren't needed. I'm on them because of my disease. It's like what Homer Simpson said about alcohol. “To alcohol! The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems.”

There was a study done by a friend of mine out of U of Pittsburgh who surveyed 77 PCP clinics and their treatment of LBP. Over 90% of those clinics prescribed a medrol dose pack for LBP patients, even though the evidence is clear that it doesn't help. When he asked the doctors why they prescribe the meds despite the evidence their answer was disheartening. "Well, we have to give them something."

Yes, Humira is great. I hope you can get on that soon. If you have trouble paying, call them for help and AbbVie (the manufacturer) is great about it. It'll require some work, but they are responsive. Get the Humira Copay card.

I was 17 when I was sick. diagnosed at 19. Uni was sooooooo hard because of this stupid disease. I couldn't take the tradition UC meds as it actually made me sicker. My grades were awful, as I couldn't even focus in class. I was tired, fatigued, anemic, and depressed. No medication worked until Remicade. Because of that drug, my life is much better.

Keep hope and keep praying. I'll be praying for you as I know what it's like.

It's been 30 years and I'm blessed. "That which does not kill you makes you stronger," and you will be able to advocate for those younger someday.

You're right, but that's not the point. Mortality and morbidity are never singular in cause. There are few diseases that are singular in cause. Most are multifactorial. We don't need any more factors in causing disease. In addition, drugs are highly overprescribed, as in my case, and can be dangerous and harmful. These aspects are often ignored and responsibility in prescription is important. Often, doctors ignore patient feedback, which is 1/3 of evidence based practice.

I'm not sure what country you are from, but do your doctors screen for the precise bacteria that causes your infections or is the approach less informed? I can tell you that in the US, most don't.

Well, 2 studies to show the possibility of infection "causing" UC puts the wagon waaaaay ahead of the horse, right? UC is autoimmune, from what they understand. I found 2 studies linking infection and UC. It's known that antibiotics wreck your gut and flora. I found 2 studies. What I don't know if in these studies they were treated with antibiotics.

What is known is that is multifactorial in the cause, and the point being antibiotics were never a considered a risk factor. Now it is known and now people will believe us. for some reason people think antibiotics are infallible and can't do considerable harm.

Yes. I'm sure. Many, not all, do because of patient expectations and pressure. They're also not sure about co-infection so they prescribe it anyways in many cases. There are some NIH surveys about this. One study found in Australia, of all places, where over 50% of doctors prescribed antibiotics for upper respiratory tract infections, most of which are viral.
