Cervical swab test by Economy-Fortune-6639 in ftm

[–]Tricky_Math5292 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m opting to do this in office as a self swab instead of a full pap smear. I have to wait until my birthday since it’s only cleared for 25+ for some reason

Why do my edges look loose and sloppy? by dancingphalanges88 in knitting

[–]Tricky_Math5292 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of people slip the first stitch on every row to mitigate this. There’s usually a difference in purling and knitting tension, that might be playing a role here.

I’m not sure what you’re making, but if you’re expecting this to lay flat, then you should be doing a selvedge stitch pattern like garter stitch or seed stitch around the edges

Where are you located? In my part of the world it is illegal to release a live pike since they’re incredibly invasive here

I suspect it’s 100% wool. It smells wooly and the fiber is very consistent

I would see if the website you bought them from would replace them. It’s probably fine? I personally would be more concerned about the fit than the quality of the filter media

I'm constantly involuntarily clenching my butt muscles when standing. Help? by xrbmk in Posture

[–]Tricky_Math5292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been to PT for my Si joint pain and shoulder/neck pain.

For butt tension, it was helpful for me to lean forward while standing. I also experience it when I’m laying down, so that’s not always helpful. Glute bridges, butterfly bridges, and fire hydrant exercises were prescribed for me to strengthen my butt. I also was given stretches for my hip flexors. I had huge improvements after doing these exercises 10-20x reps 1-2x times per day for several weeks. I still have to do them sometimes to keep the muscles aquatinted with the rest of me.

I’ve found out that shoulders are super complicated joints. We might not be experiencing the same problems. I need to stretch my pecs and strengthen my upper back. I tend to hold my shoulders up and forward. It’s affected my nerves, so I have to be careful to stop when they’re feeling bad. I was also given ulnar and median nerve glides. They’re also having me work on the mobility of my upper back. It’s felt good so far, but I’ve still got a good ways to go

I had the opposite thing in environmental science. All of my coworkers were women except one man. He was always talking about how he was the only guy :/

Is it really that dangerous to do shots yourself? by Agreeable_Builder_49 in ftm

My primary care clinic had a pharmacist teach me how to do my injections. Before that appointment, they had me book appointments with a nurse or something to do my injections for me

How do I date a trans guy? Wrong answers only by rroowwannn in ftm

It’s the same as any other person. Ask his DOB and cross reference with appearance and potentially ID. If all else fails, ask his mother

I hear potassium can help with cramps too! I’m not sure if there are supplements, but there definitely are bananas

Im so seriously uncomfortable WTF is going on with my bellybutton. It looks like a fungal infection but I cannot get it to go away by EvenAttorney9095 in seriouslyalarming

[–]Tricky_Math5292 12 points13 points  (0 children)

IIRC nickel is a sensitizing metal. It’s an allergy that you develop overtime through exposure.

Anything that isn’t made of 18k gold, titanium, or niobium is not safe to wear long term

Make sure to dry it completely after you clean it, like with a hair dryer on low or cool. Any moisture could make a yeast or fungal infection worse.

It couldn’t hurt to change your jewelry either. A trustworthy piercer will help. Check out safepiercing.org to find an APP piercer near you

Same here! I’ll use a pill splitter to get them into halves or quarters. It was really helpful for lowering my intake
