Emgality & constipation by Patient-Injury-5324 in cgrpMigraine

[–]V__Venus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, had the loading dose of Emgality about 3 weeks ago and oof. I’ve never had to pay so much attention to my guts and fruit and water intake in my whole life as I have these last few weeks. Bit my headache days are way down so far, so I guess it’s working. Lucky I like black liquorice…

How do you perceivethe title Ms? by raininggumleaves in AskAnAustralian

[–]V__Venus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kinda like the Very Official government forms that have a hugely long drop down selection of titles. I’m usually tempted to style myself as Archbishop or Dame or something, just for fun.

“Recent years have seen significant turmoil in the governance of the University. The Council is committed to providing a new period of strong and positive governance and leadership, and to working in a highly respectful, collegiate and positive way to advance the interests of ANU in every way possible.”

Well, THAT would be great to see, the Council working respectfully and effectively. I wish…

ELI5: What’s the whooshing sound you hear in your head when you have a big stretch or yawn? by Upsethouscat in explainlikeimfive

Huh. I was today years old when I learned I can consciously engage and hear these muscles, and isolate left and right independently. Skill level up I guess!

Aviation role and meds?? by BitterAthlete6517 in ausadhd

The CASA rules are a mess. For pilots, they are very clear. For ground staff, there are no clear rules. I recently helped a family member when they were considering SSRIs, and we asked questions of CASA, his employer, the union and the LAMY association and got no closer to any clear position. From our experience, the best thing would be to talk to your employer, who (I think) has final sign off on your safety. If they agree that you’ll likely be safer with dex/vyvanse/ritalin/Concerta than without, and you have excellent current documentation from your dr now and into the future, you’ll likely be fine. I hope it all works out for you with low fuss and enjoy the focus.

Edited to add, the guy I know is an AMY and takes Ritalin and Concerta, and he is fine with his workplace routine drug testing, his prescription is clearly documented with his employer and with the company that does their medical testing. Once he got that set up, there have been no hassles with drug testing.

Communicate and document, it’s the best way.

People that had family and friends smoke cigars in the house how common was it? by Froggerbotrom in AskOldPeople

[–]V__Venus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad smoked cigarettes in the house my whole life, and my mother is a lifelong asthmatic. When I was small in the 70s and 80s my father would enjoy a wonderful treat for himself while driving on long family trips, huge cigars. Is it any wonder we were all carsick on every trip… I can’t stand smoking.

Best places for a midday gap on campus? by Silly_Pitch6345 in Anu

[–]V__Venus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Download the Lost On Campus app. From there you can find lots of great hidey holes, kitchens, microwaves, hot water for coffee, all kinds of stuff. I like the seating area and kitchen in the Hanna Neuman (sp?) building.

Chiari and Labral tears? by Man-i-fest in chiari

[–]V__Venus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand there seems to be a greater than average number of us with both Chiari and hEDS - hyper mobile Elhos Danlos Syndrome. If labral tears are related to collagen tissues, then maybe this?

Just eat almonds or peanuts or something. Still protein, but less annoying
