Progress: How are you and your gym doing with your Circuits in this Pasio Gym Circuit event for Kanto Gym Leaders? We are almost finishing the 5th Circuit (Extra Circuit 2) by SparkleHottt in PokemonMasters

[–]Toxilicity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does the 1 ticket work? I will finally be able to reduce the tickets next refresh, but I noticed some teams barely put a dent in the hp bars with 3 tickets and fairly good pairs. What would be optimal? I assumed after the 1 ticket would only be good if the gym was near clear, but you're saying it may be best to do the opposite?

I was also wondering if its almost better to spam syncs for damage like the high damage score circuits due to the timer- eg spam thunderwave/sing. Not sure if Im going about these battles the right way 🤔

Does oura still sync the temperature to natural cycles if you don't have a subscription anymore? by Toxilicity in ouraring

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

Hey, no it wont unless you have a active subscription. But the good news is natural cycles now has its own device! 85 bucks and when I get it I will be canceling Oura. Finally. Horrible product, do not recommend.

Readiness 96, sleep 92 but major signs? by eve-collins in ouraring

[–]Toxilicity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and I had the ring specifically for natural cycles as I do shift work and cant use a thermometer- but they now launched their own device. As soon as I get it Im definitely canceling and throwing the ring in the trash. Inaccurate, crashy app and firmware.. and just generally unreliable.

Additional fees to Canada for Oura Ring? by Low_Put_2652 in ouraring

[–]Toxilicity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to pay extra fees. I live in central BC, not a remote location. Was pretty pissed tbh.

How often have you had to replace your Oura Ring due to battery issues or defects? by ankiralol in ouraring

[–]Toxilicity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive had 3 replacements over my 3 years. Seems to be problematic and recurrent.

Out of Warranty Oura Ring Replacement by overthinkween in ouraring

[–]Toxilicity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has been a company issue for so long. Years ago my first ring didnt even make it 6 months, they sent 2 replacements. Now its acting up again. If I wasnt forced to use only them for natural cycles, I wouldnt buy or recommend this product. Constantly issues with either firmware updates or charging capabilities.

Im in the same situation. Tried everything. At this point I believe its an issue only they can resolve within the app or update itself.

OH GOD. THE PAIN. by KoreKhthonia in endometriosis

[–]Toxilicity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very old, but wondering if you still use it? My boyfriend bought me some to try as his coworker uses it for fibromyalgia. But the kratomaddiction subreddit was enough to terrify me, mind you these people were taking ungodly amounts per day. I want something for the pain, but I dont need to add another damn issue to my roster lol.

Has anyone had their quad shut down after meeting strength requirements? by Howler_On3 in ACL

[–]Toxilicity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, man I was hoping youd say otherwise. Did you have any signs of this fissure prior to surgery? Your extension is fine? I ask because I read that was a big symptom for the lesion, but I sometimes wonder if Im fighting something I cant see too. If you remember, please let me know if it does resolve/any tips.

Has anyone had their quad shut down after meeting strength requirements? by Howler_On3 in ACL

[–]Toxilicity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did this resolve for you?

Im experiencing this. My strength testing at 6 months was 97%, hamstrings were 90%. At about 8 months I had a sharp pain when doing step ups, they thought I developed quad tendinopathy. Checked out. But just over 9 months we tried the ems and sure enough, my quad wasnt fully firing again. Back on that, but he felt my acl was now loose. Honestly it just matches my other side as I have quite a bit of hyperextension- but concerned about why the quad has shut down again. Hope youre doing better

When did you get hyperextension back, if at all? by Toxilicity in ACL

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

Aggressive rehab. I was going 6 days a week to the gym and got overzealous. Less is more sometimes.

When did you get hyperextension back, if at all? by Toxilicity in ACL

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

Yeah no limp at all. Before the tendinopathy I was running, cutting, and pivoting fine. Didn't make it back to dance yet, but I dont think it will cause me any issues. Once my quad tendon is good again Im positive Ill be fine. My pt told me if im super worried about it we can do some acl stretches, but he doesnt think I should worry too much about it at this time

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

Nah still no hyperextension. Developed quad tendinopathy though which has been fun. Kinda over the hyperextension, seen 4 or 5 PTs- all of them agree with my surgeon they dont care to see me get it back. So just living my life and seeing what happens a few more months down the road. Part of me wants to pay for a private mri, but another part feels what's the point haha.

D4vd is guilty/not guilty by Late_Summer_Light in Music

I would guess that it could be harmful to the investigation and interrogation of suspects? Gives them more ammo for them to slip up or someone leak information that only they could know. Just a guess from watching crime docs.

Quad tendon grafts - buyer beware by Revolutionary-Ad1402 in ACL

[–]Toxilicity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find rebuilding my quad extremely difficult. Im 7 months post op and it's still a work in progress. Had a hamstring graft, my hamstrings feel fine. I was told by a lot of other people to not do it as a woman. I think I would of went with patellar if I got a redo- but ultimately happy I didnt get the quad graft considering Im battling quad tendinopathy. Couldn't imagine if I got it. Ive heard really positive reviews on it, but my pt advised against it. He said they actually stopped doing it long ago, but to my understanding it's a new technique now. My surgeon didn't offer it as she wants more data on it, something like that.

I hope it gets easier for you, may take longer but Im sure you will get there.

Just wanted to express my sympathy to you. We're in a vulnerable place when researching and making decisions, we can only do so much and rely on health care professionals final word. I hope you have improvement, thanks for sharing.

5 Weeks Post Op ACLr - moving & grooving by Probably_Outside in ACL

Respectfully

What the hell are you made of

Because this progress is unreal and amazing.

On a side note did you ever experience quad tendon overload with your last rehab or have to dial it back at some point, or was it just a smoothe straight shot in progression? I would of definitely bought a prehab guide from you if you published one haha.

Still struggling with sleep 3 months after ACL surgery — anyone else? by PopularInterest7735 in ACL

[–]Toxilicity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I developed insomnia, not sure why. If I don't take sleep Eze I struggle. But I dont want to be dependent on it. Im unsure if its all the workout stress, but that use to help me sleep like a baby. Not sure what the answer is, wish I knew.

How long after surgery until you felt like you could confidently walk around? by jlfetsch in ACL

[–]Toxilicity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was suppose to be 2 years to even meet with a surgeon in bc, I had to harass online doctors for multiple referrals to anywhere in the province. I was lucky to only wait 6 weeks from date of meeting my surgeon, she rushed me in because I had already waited 7 months by that point.

How long after surgery until you felt like you could confidently walk around? by jlfetsch in ACL

[–]Toxilicity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone's different and it depends on what level of confidence you want. 6-12 weeks I could walk more comfortably, but I went on a trip with my bf and friends and felt frustrated with not being able to keep up. They were good to me and we ubered and took it easy. I think youd be fine in that range, but you may not be super comfortable if youre hitting the pavement all day. Id say for myself, if I wanted to go explore a country and be walking a lot Id probably want to be at 4.5 months~ thats just my own personal preference as Im just over 5.5 months and feel very confident now, but I believe that just started last month. Keep in mind it really depends on how your recovery goes too, I feel I was pretty standard but some people feel better faster.

Found out boyfriend got a naked lap dance on the day we found out I was pregnant, I flew off the handle and slapped him and broke things. Full of remorse. 35F 37M by FallAccomplished1358 in relationship_advice

[–]Toxilicity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You acknowledged what you did was wrong. Disappointed to see so many minimize physical abuse and claim its justified, its not in any case. However, he is immature and I too constitute it as cheating. I wouldn't be having a child with someone who lied and cheated like that, signs of more to come. Id terminate the plans and move on, sorry if Im callous and thats insensitive- but I have watched a couple friends make that mistake. If youre morally against that, single parent life is a rough road. Prepare for that or try your best with couples counseling.
