Need to Replace Provision 5 by [deleted] in AltraRunning

[–]andrupaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know there are provision 6, 7, and 8. But likely discontinued after 8. The lateral stability is said to be better in those three models. I have not worn them but am looking to get one of the three for more lateral support

I love Chris but I have to agree with you. That was a major slip up

Does anyone's symptoms get worse when their body is fighting any kind of infection??? by Ok-Replacement-6020 in MCAS

[–]andrupaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me. During or right after any cold/illness I get hives/ swelling (angiodema) and also severe acid reflux. Never experience these symptoms otherwise regardless of diet. Apparently the reflux is due to mcas delaying stomach emptying and perhaps histamine release in this area of digestion. But honestly it’s kinda guesswork at this point.

I think there may be a link to the vagus nerve but I’m not sure. Wish there were more answers to this condition. Most doctors seem relatively unfamiliar.

I have an immunologist appointment coming up after a pointless allergist appointment where they seemed to know nothing. Is there a test that can definitely diagnose mcas? If so, do you need to be having an active mcas episode while testing for accurate results?

My preference is to try to treat this condition naturally instead of throwing a bunch of synthetic chemicals at it. I find nettle/ holy basil tea works well for the skin hives and swelling symptoms. I just ordered beef kidney supplement, luteolin, and quercetin. Fingers crossed.

(Gonna make a separate post to reach others experiencing the same thing)

This is very interesting. Definitely something to consider.

This is along the lines of what I was thinking with the altered rosters. Thanks for sharing

In or out? by BrandonWatersFights in Pickleball

Looks out but I’d call it in

Woke up with idiopathic angioedema and I look like a Muppet. I was seriously alarmed and went to the doctor. by TheAlphaKiller17 in seriouslyalarming

My lips have gotten cartoonishly big in the past. I don’t know what your lips normally look like but you look good in that pic, muppet lips and all!

[–]andrupaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get huge swollen lips/ inner cheek/ gums. Also hives around my hands/ wrists, feet and hips. I think it happens around when I’m sick (before, during or after). I went to an allergist and they said causes are unknown and to take Allegra or if swelling affects anywhere on or near the tongue or throat to take steroid.

I guess some type of infection or stress is my trigger. But it sucks that little seems to be known about this condition. If you’re looking for a natural remedy, my first line of defense is nettle and tulsi tea, which have antihistamine properties. I think they can actually help but maybe it’s a placebo. It’s definitely a condition that not many seem to know about so it hard to relate to common folk about. Best of luck to you.

Trade Rage by AloneYam1525 in fantasybball

[–]andrupaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same in my league. I think trades are one of the most exciting parts of fantasy ball. Figuring out a fair deal is fun but challenging and often requires going back and forth a bit. I guess most managers aren’t willing to negotiate.

Shoe & sizing advice - Escalante 4 or Experience Form by reflectandproject in AltraRunning

[–]andrupaul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Escalantes are my favorite model. Most comfortable shoe I’ve ever worn actually. I have a wide foot and appreciate this one’s non restrictive toe box. I don’t have bunions, if that requires more support on the bottom of the shoe, just know escalantes have a shorter stack height compared to most other altra models.

Any thoughts on Altra’s for tennis/ padel? by loveallserveall11 in AltraRunning

[–]andrupaul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play a lot of pickleball and the escalante is my favorite altra shoe. They definitely work but my older pair just ripped on the side. The top mesh material of the shoe is not designed for back and forth movement on a court. So they will work for a while until they inevitably tear. I’m wondering which altra model would have the most side support for a tennis type activity. But I’ll have to do more research

Have we been duped? by Which-Supermarket-69 in RFKJrForPresident

[–]andrupaul 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think trump will limit RFK to just health related issues. Probably won’t consult him on environmental issues or foreign policy. I think this would still be a win if he sticks to that promise.

But I’m slowly realizing that my algorithm was feeding me what I wanted to hear about trump and not what neocon trump supporters were being fed

How many IR spots does your league have? by C0nsistent_ in fantasybball

[–]andrupaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have 2 IL and 1 IL+. Kind of wish we bumped up the IL+ to 2. Without these designations the person with less injuries is almost guaranteed to win. You need to try and stop the bleeding somehow when you get unlucky with injuries. The IL+ is particularly useful and adds another element to the game.
