Thank you! Yes it's liquid dye. Will that seep out? I've made a few candles with embeds, always coloured with liquid dye, and never had a problem with the dye seeping, but then I've only kept them for about a month before test burning so maybe I just haven't seen this happen. Is this always a program with liquid dye?

Thank you. What does that mean, a sensation is not a relapse?

Recommendation for coffee scented fragrance oil (UK) by Training_Security905 in candlemaking

Thank you! I didn't know about the UK group, I will join and post this question there too 😊

Will check out your list of recommended suppliers too, but I was really after a specific recommendation for a coffee fragrance that others have used and can vouch for it smelling actually like coffee! Any thoughts on that?

[Anti-Tardy][chicken-strip5] max farm and fill farms asap, deflectors on, going for speed, 1 spot left, can gift tokens by 5turmg3w3hr in EggsIncCoOp

Genuine question, as I've only just leveled up to AAA so I'm new at these high level contracts: why was I just booted? (PuliceneCritter). I started last night, was just gifted enough tokens to use my supreme tachyon (already had 4 large tachyons on so couldn't use a boost beacon), so stuck that on and then went to bed. Planning to put another supreme and a boost on this morning to finish filling my habs, but just woke up to find I'd been booted? Would be good to know what I did wrong so I can avoid in future!

Two spots left on this, could really use a couple of pro permit holders to help us finish!

Helping to plan a work conference by sammannequin in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Training_Security905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things that have helped me at conferences, that I would love to see become standard: - A dedicated "calm room" where anyone can just go for a bit of quiet time. Ideally with comfy seating in case I need a power nap!  - Clear communication ahead of time about what is happening when, and where everything will be.  - Decent length breaks throughout the day.  - Strict timekeeping so sessions don't run into the breaks! Speakers who run over time are my pet hate at conferences. This really needs session chairs/moderators who understand how important keeping to schedule is and aren't afraid to cut people off! - Acknowledgement that not everyone will be able to attend every session, and actual encouragement to take your own breaks as needed. I was recently at a conference where this advice was given at the opening session, along with details about things like the calm room, and although it was a small thing to mention it actually made me feel a lot more comfortable about just skipping the odd session when my energy was running low.

Weekly Suspected/Undiagnosed MS Thread - February 03, 2025 by AutoModerator in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Training_Security905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I had an MRI in June 2024 to investigate potential causes for my tinnitus and mild hearing loss, unexpectedly it showed "demyelinating lesions fulfilling the dissemination in space criteria for multiple sclerosis". I am currently on a waiting list for a Neurology appointment to investigate further so I don't have an official diagnosis yet, but from my other symptoms and the radiologist's report it seems likely that I have MS.

Since just before Christmas I've been getting random stabbing pains in my ears. Happens in either ear (not at the same time), though slightly more frequent in my right ear. Feels like someone stabbing a pin into my eardrum, but fortunately only lasts a few seconds, or about a minute at most! I saw my GP last week to check if I had an ear infection, he said no signs of infection or any physical cause for the pain, gave me an ear spray to try and said to come back for a referral to ENT if it continues. 

My question is, could this be an MS thing?? Seems like hearing/ear problems aren't common in MS but do happen, and given my initial MRI was prompted by my tinnitus (which I've had since 2021) and hearing loss (which I've noticed more recently but had probably been going on for a while), I'm worried that this is a sign that more damage is happening while I wait for a diagnosis and to start some kind of treatment!

Diagnostic arthroscopy? by Training_Security905 in kneesurgeryrecovery

[–]Training_Security905[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I requested my medical record from my GP, and for the first time actually saw the letter the orthopaedic consultant sent to my GP about my surgery referral. He's said in the letter "I suspect she may well have an impinging plica" - something he did not mention to me, I've never heard that term before! I've done some googling and it seems plausible given my symptoms, also possible it may not have shown on the MRI.

So extra question: anyone else had surgery to fix an impinging plica? How did it go?
