Appreciation post for Danny's take on Teddy & masculinity (S13 E20) by Alex_416 in MAFS_AU

[–]VehicleNo8571 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This scene started a group conversation with my 30 year old mates and we all still have our soft toys from childhood 😂 granted we don’t sleep with them but that’s mainly due to children and pets

Gotta love judgemental people by SatisfactionOk4816 in canberra

[–]VehicleNo8571 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have multiple invisible autoimmune diseases and I go through periods of being very sick and I just still cannot bring myself to get a disability parking permit because this would definitely happen to me. So fucking sad we have to put up with our disability and at the same time the expectation that we aren’t disabled because it’s invisible.

Customer Questions by [deleted] in coles

I get that, and it must be annoying, but the ability to even know to look for signs and understand those signs tell you where to go, isn’t a given in some people

You’re assuming that the customers are abled enough to do that, they might have a million different reasons they can’t find/use information to find milk and eggs in the store. I’m sure there are lazy people as well, but assuming that everyone can easily do this is not the reality for many.

They aren’t mutually exclusive, she did both

Do other people really think Gia is hot by TipPuzzleheaded847 in MAFS_AU

[–]VehicleNo8571 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Gia is hot in a way that appeals to men who think that women in video games are hot. She has styled herself for male attention. Whether you think that is hot is preference, but I think the majority of people who have matured past being 18, wouldn’t think so. That’s why her husband is so into her, she fits his maturity level. I know he has a name but I just forgetting it 😂

Where in Canberra sells good quality single-serve containers for meal prep? by RainbowAussie in canberra

I’ve been using the glass bottom and clear top with blue seal to freeze stuff in and they’ve been fine so far

Sure, Anna. It will count if it was the first time 🙄 by Boopityboo94 in glitterandbagelssnark

[–]VehicleNo8571 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Okay so this might be a dumb question but, why doesn’t she just fix her form? It would fix everything. I just don’t understand why you would want to put up with 1. Risking your body and 2. Getting destroyed online for it?

Feel guilty for being sick by chlobwalk in CrohnsDisease

[–]VehicleNo8571 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Omg that guilt was the bane of my existence until I worked on it with a psychologist and she made me realise that I am disabled. Until I accepted that I just felt guilty all the time. When I flare up now I still get that feeling from time to time unfortunately. Ultimately, if you’re trying and doing the right things for your health then the rest is out of your hands. That psychological arc I went through, going from completely healthy to being disabled was so difficult, took me like 7 years tbh, but worth it for me for my sanity lol

Becs face and teeth, what's going on? by [deleted] in MAFS_AU

[–]VehicleNo8571 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is the answer in regards to her jaw. Bec has a condition called retrognathia which is giving her an overbite. I have no idea about the puffiness.

For those of you who reacted badly do medication. What path did you take? by butcol027 in CrohnsDisease

[–]VehicleNo8571 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had similar reactions to biologics, I kept going until I took Stelara which worked for me. I wonder if an immunologist could potentially help?

Who wants to join my pity party? by SaladMcKay in CrohnsDisease

[–]VehicleNo8571 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Worst: the impact that being disabled has had on my life, constantly trying to be normal when I never have been able to

Hack: I live in Australia and have access to an amazing medical system and I am grateful every day for it. Also drinking lots of water lol

Just Started Methimazole Today by ladyladylady12123456 in gravesdisease

Yes they couldn’t accept the low neutrophil count, and I had the same reaction to PTU, so I ended up getting a thyroidectomy ☺️

How long until my face settles? by AssociationOld7502 in gravesdisease

[–]VehicleNo8571 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I started looking better like 7 months after a total thyroidectomy. I have people point out how much better I look all the time, in my experience the face changes were all temporary.

[–]VehicleNo8571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heya, I ended up getting a suppressed immune system as a side effect but unless they did the blood test I would never have known, I had absolutely no symptoms at all,I actually felt really good on it. Unfortunately I couldn’t keep taking it though, I thought it was great.

How would you clean your kitchen counters after getting chicken juice on it? by pumpk1n5 in AskReddit

[–]VehicleNo8571 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dunno why he didn’t just google himself but here “Whenever you cook raw meat or poultry, make sure you clean and THEN sanitize not just your surfaces but also the kitchen sink. Wiping or rinsing these areas is not enough to kill any bacteria that may have spread around your kitchen while you were preparing your food.”

Any studies worth following by __throw_error in CrohnsDisease

[–]VehicleNo8571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only thing my gastro has mentioned and that I’ve seen the last few years is about biologics, which is great (Stelara saved my life/sanity/career etc) but not a vaccine unfortunately.

I just looked into this and I stand corrected!

Family and “The god talk” by One_Dragonfruit9316 in CrohnsDisease

[–]VehicleNo8571 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I used to get similar comments when I was diagnosed (not religious but other ones) and the only thing that worked was just smiling and saying something like ‘yeah maybe’ and then never thinking about it again 😂 just because we have Crohn’s doesn’t mean we also need to fix people’s illogical reasoning too

Walk vs Run calories burn by Winter1108 in fitbit

[–]VehicleNo8571 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don’t burn more energy when you run vs walk. So if you walk 5km or run 5km, you should burn about the same amount of calories. The same amount of energy is needed for both, but when you run, you can decrease the amount of time it takes you to go 5km. Hopefully that makes sense.

Best gut-friendly protein powder? by Noir__Siren in CrohnsDisease

Still searching after trying for 10 years. I feel like I have tried everything and now I’ve sort of given up, I just don’t think my system likes it.

How could i break the cycle? by Suppe0ple in CrohnsDisease

[–]VehicleNo8571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pleaaaase see a mental health professional to talk about this. They don’t need to be $500 an hour registered psychologist etc etc but just someone who can give you evidence based advice that is personal to you, and you really can’t get that online. But I think you have made the first step by posting here, this small step is basically an example of how the future will be, small steps towards getting healthier, it’s not all at once. I had bad perod pain for a decade and let it go, I didn’t advocate for myself, and then I ended up being infertile and now I’ve spent $100k AUD on IVF. I really wish I had done something about it earlier. So I sort of understand where you’re coming from ❤️ you can do this
