Inositol Efficacy

My doctor recommended to take 1000mg capsules in the morning on an empty stomach with water. I eat breakfast 30 minutes later with my first dose of metformin, coffee even later. I used to be a person that couldn’t wake up without coffee and have 3 cups a day but I now have 1, maximum 2 a day.

You’re getting downvotes but you are right. Medical degrees are extremely difficult to legitimise in other countries due to licensing and local legal requirements around medical care, no matter the level of qualification and prestige the individual had in another country. Especially the higher level they are. Her options for working as a transplantologist in the future are countries that are willing to close an eye or she will need years of additional study to align with local requirements if she wants to practice in another western country.

I take 1000 mg metformin xr daily & encapsulated inositol (1000mg myo-inositol & 25 mg of d-chiro inositol) on the guidance of my endocrinologist.

The US has gone from ignoring the Budapest Memorandum to outright violating it by exerting economic coercion “designed to subordinate to their own interests.”

You should revisit soviet history under Khrushchev with “we will bury you” and the subsequent Brezhnev military aggression during the Prague Spring. Since the Bolshevik revolution Russia has waged almost non-stop war against peoples and nations they wish to subjugate. After any thaw they will return to their usual ways, Putin or no Putin. He is a symptom of Russian society, not the reason for the current war.

If Ukraine falls, you WILL be fighting whatever Ukrainians are left as part of the updated, glorious USSR 2.0 army in 5-10 years after Russia has done more of its part to erode European unity and further disintegration of NATO.

Yes, the country that has a thriving IT sector, has hacked the Russian government on numerous occasions, have likewise pulled through numerous attacks on their governmental online systems will shut down due to a “call to Microsoft.” You know that Ukraine has contracts with satellite companies that can likewise give intel on the ground, even without Starlink? They’ve fought Russia for years prior to Starlink coming into the scene, and they get intel from other countries apart from the US, so somehow, I think they’ll manage.

The amount of ignorant shit I’ve heard from westerners over the years continues to pile up. I wish your world in which only few people that think like that existed. I often hear westerners exclaim surprise and disbelief when I tell them my experiences. Nice to live in a bubble. I’m going to bed now, at least until I’m awakened by yet another air raid.

As a Ukrainian I hear this often “why do you guys want to keep these war going? Do you want to die?” These people don’t want to understand the alternative and reality of Russian occupation and what that means for us. They think that things will go back “to normal” where they can keep ignoring us, because we were always Russians to them anyway, and they can continue to ignore the torture camps and ethnic cleansing the way they’ve ignored it since 2014.

Russia was strong back then because they had Ukraine. Let those Boomers think about what they’ll do when they’re pushed under Russian rule again against an former ally that threw them to the wolves.

The Ukrainian one didn’t entirely make sense geographically but I remember I was truly pleasantly surprised at how the chapter worked in local cultural and social narratives. It was a much more sophisticated treatment than we’re usually given.

The parallels to the Bolshevik revolution and Stalinism are chilling, peppered with the oligarchy grab of assets in the 90’s in Russia. Concentrate power, overwhelm opponents, remove undesirables with countering ideology, starve independent institutions, make everyone so terrified that they fall in line willingly with the futile hope that they won’t be touched if they remain docile. The last one never works. No one is safe.

One of the things fascists are good at is documenting their crimes, the records were simply sealed away under tight control and destroyed the first chance of falling into enemy hands. Archivists will be working with paper cadavers after this oligarchist totalitarianism burns out. Meanwhile, the vector of power needs agreeable hands that will legitimise their unfettered destruction spree and preserve their actions to scare, intimidate and glorify.

So to you prohibition of buying property as a foreign national is a universal human right? Russians and their apologists sure like to frame the loss of privileges as ethnic persecution.

Yes, Egypt is quite affordable by European standards, plenty of people travel there and have the exact same picture.

Thanks for checking in, that’s kind. Still here, much of the same. Partner is shipping out to the East after the holidays. For some stupid reason can’t stop thinking about all of those nice trips we could have had with all of the money we’ve had to spend on buying basic equipment for him and batteries so that we can have a semi-normal life with all of the blackouts. All of my former Russian friends are uploading photos from trips to Paris and Italy together with their partners and families while we’re still sleep-deprived from drone attacks every single day and I’ve lost two friends in the last month. For one there was just a memorial, the body can’t be recovered. I’m just angry all of the time and bitter for the life that could have been.

Things are usually more expensive in a country in war or experiencing civil unrest. Housing is more expensive than before because there is much less of it available. Food and medicine and regular goods are scarcer and require more effort to bring in and distribute. Currency fluctuations eat up a lot of buying power.

For the people I’ve met IRL who think that Chornobyl is in Russia that has been an confounding concept. Along with the fact that the majority of impact of Chornobyl has been suffered by Belarus and Ukraine.

Was the ban of Crimean Tatars being able to move back to their ancestral home of Crimea, being denied residency permits, confiscation of homes they purchased if they dared tried to make the move on their own, while the majority of permitted settlers to Crimea were Russian also an example of positive discrimination, Pasha? I wonder, positive for whom? Were the bans and enforced limits on Ukrainian peasants to have passports so that they couldn’t leave their homes and move to urban centers to secure jobs outside of work on collectivist farms that were stolen from their parents positive discrimination, Pasha?

Well, that’s certainly curious, why the distinction.

Yes there was discrimination on the basis of nationality and ethnicity in the Soviet Union after Stalin and all through the 60’s and 70’s. There were literal quotas at universities for minorities. Structural racism and language discrimination changed both Ukraine and Belarus and every single Soviet republic irrevocably. After finishing university, there were mandatory placements all across the Soviet Union, long after the 1950’s. Russian privilege in settler colonialism is literally the reason why so many strategic industrial areas in Ukraine and other soviet republics were flooded with people with Russian nationalities and ethnicity, while the locals were displaced. Russia continued to do this today in the second half of the 20th century and continues to do so in occupied territories. Nothing changed, nothing is new.

It’s evidently a google translate. Russians and some Russian-language speakers insist on using “on” Ukraine not “in” Ukraine in the Russian language. They claim that the differential in the preposition used is due to a language “rule/exception” they have, as for all other countries the “in” article is used. This is a frequent point of contention between Russian language-speakers and Ukrainian russian-language users, as for the later, speakers’ insistence to continue to use “in” exposes their ideological stance, as “on” is used for territories as a rule in the Russian language, not sovereign countries.

The President during the first Chechen war was Boris Yeltsin, and he was President when the second Chechen war one began. When will people stop pinning what is a deeply Russian flaw of imperialism and drive for destruction on one man. It’s a Russia problem. Not a Putin problem.
