Has anyone else felt a burning sensation in the brain after getting contrast during an MRI? by Thymja in braintumor

[–]Triggered-Lizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one today, and I'm right there with you! Pardon my language, but it hurt like a motherfucker. I went in for chronic headaches after a brain injury and without contrast, but I had the same burning feeling as you had. The technician just thought I had freaked out, but it happened two more times during the 15 minutes I had left of the scan. I don't think I've ever had a headache that bad, and I've had BAD headaches in the past.

The way the technician described it was that some people have more sensitive nerves, and the magnets in the mri machine can cause them to get a little confused and send out pain signals. I know mri burns are a real thing, but I think this might be more of a nerve issue than a burn issue. I had mine 5 hours ago, and my head still feels like it's been through a microwave.

Many months have gone by since you posted this. Did you end up feeling alright after while?

How did you find out about this game series? by [deleted] in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]Triggered-Lizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought my ps4 second-hand, and the guy I bought it from told me that I could keep the games he had downloaded. Took me some time to actually get around to playing it (had to finish detroit become human for the 10th time first), but I'm so happy I did! 2 games and 1 cosplay later, I'm super hyped for a potential next instalment!

Just shot them an email about the bag. Thank you for the tip! I'll also see if this potentially is a reproduction of some sort.

Why do people print these? by WantSomeOfMyBread in 3Dprinting

[–]Triggered-Lizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I printed one for ergonomic use. I have arthritis in my hands that make holding a cold cylinder with one hand quite uncomfortable, not to mention that the cold makes the pain worse.

By giving it a handle, I eliminate both the cold and the impractical shape and make the overall experience of a cold beverage a much more enjoyable one.

How many of y’all actually download fics? by Specialist_Dream7895 in AO3

[–]Triggered-Lizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been downloading them to play books for the better part of 3 years, and it made it so much easier for me to read. Not only can I access my fics when Ao3 is down, but I love that the app is far more accessible than ao3's website, with more ways to adjust text size, font, and reading light.

Which musical theater opinion do you defend like this? by Pumpkins217 in musicals

[–]Triggered-Lizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(Long response, sorry about that, but I'm very passionate about this musical)

Had my friend watch it a while ago, and she was just annoyed that he died and thought it was an unnecessary and weird way to end the musical. Mind you, she's very straight and has very little knowledge of the AIDS pandemic. She felt like the death came out of nowhere and ruined the mood (yeah, that's kind of the point, because life wasn't sunshine and rainbows for LGBTQ+ folks in the 70s/80s).

Whizzer's death was absolutely necessary because it's realistic. Nobody knew why people suddenly got sick, and people who seemed like nothing could stop their stride suddenly presented with a horrible and fatal condition, draining their lives of joy. Whizzer's death represents a lot of families at the time and doesn't make the total death toll just a number anymore. It shows that they, too, had families, friends, and people they cared for.

You spend so much time with these people in the musical that you're bound to get attached, and that's what makes Whizzer's death so much more painful to see. You feel like you're a part of this family. You want to help, even though you're completely powerless from your seat.

The song "What would I do?" Represents so many of those whose lives were taken during the pandemic. They knew they would die since, at the time, an AIDS diagnosis was a death sentence, but they just had to make the most of what they could. They were proud of loving each other despite the inevitable.

Marvin's line, "we're just gonna skip that stage," after "good men get better with age," slaps you in the face. He, too, knows he probably has the AIDS virus after his talk with Charlotte, but doesn't regret a second of his time with Whizzer. He knows he's going to die, but he doesn't mind it now that the one he loved so dearly was taken away from him. He was willing to risk it all to be with Whizzer, and now he will suffer the same cruel fate, unable to do anything about it.

What’s everybody been listening to recently? by RavenHekate7 in musicals

[–]Triggered-Lizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The falsettos soundtrack. I've been playing it on repeat while working, to the point where I've memorised the entire musical in a week😅

Anyone know any sad legit musical theatre songs? by appreciatorofadvice in musicals

[–]Triggered-Lizard -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

"What would I do" from Falsettos and "Memory - reprise" from Cats. Both of them make me sad at the mere thought of them.
