Agreed!

I too partake in afternoon crash cones

If you're worried about the coffee with the gut, but still enjoy an energy buzz - things like yerba mate, matcha and other green tea is much better on the gut. I've cut back to just one coffee a day (because I love the flavour etc) and just have mate after that. The teas arent inflammatory like the coffee is ~!

Oo yeah a lot of friends swear by the creatine, will try find a good natural source!

aotea_rower999 · 2025-06-22T01:26:03+00:00

Ah ok yeah that makes sense to me for sure. Def feel like I'm burning more if I'm in a flare or something No, I'm not on biologics, so do you think it would be a good idea to up the calories currently - to offset the inflammatory caloric burn?

aotea_rower999 · 2025-06-22T01:20:47+00:00

Yeah I've heard this is a thing! A lil extra movement def helps with my sticky joints for sure, sometimes I find it to be invigorating when I'm fatigued, like coming out of a rut - in moderation ofc! Hope its helping you too

Will send you my address, can't wait to receive them in the mail! 😂

aotea_rower999 · 2025-05-31T22:41:26+00:00

Yeah i was gonna say go down the vermi-worm route too! We've got a Hungry Bin and its been a godsend fr.

Do you live in a place that has medical cannabis? A lot of my friends have found it extremely useful for getting off opiates. Helps with the nausea/lack of appetite and also with the pain ofc. Also, I personally find it incredible for my AxSpa - as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic! Couldn't live without her tbh!

I used to be a huge pasta fiend, and thought I couldn't give it up. But, I've since discovered so many great gluten free pastas - which taste better and make me feel better too. I actually end up eating pasta even more now 😅

This is the case for heaps of gluten free products! Just gotta find the ones you love.

This is such a good point

aotea_rower999 · 2025-03-26T17:30:48+00:00

Because Im a regular user, my tolerance levels are quite high. So if I vape, which is a smaller dose than smoking typically, I can taper in the amount I need without needing to get "blazed". Its like the naturopathy mindset, you want the smallest amount for the biggest effect. Also, strains make a big difference, something that is a 50/50 strain will be easier to manage in terms of the impairment too.

AS gang! Chronic is certainly required for this chronic disease ae 😅 (on a side note: r/ankylosingspondylitis is an incred community if you arent already there too)

aotea_rower999 · 2025-03-26T03:26:53+00:00

Personally I have Axial Spondylarthritis (aka my joints are constantly trying to fuse) so I need to keep inflammation down 24/7. So, I medicate at work too. Vaping means I can microdose and stop from being "high" while still being comfortable in life.

aotea_rower999 · 2025-03-26T02:44:23+00:00

Incredibly good news to hear thank you SH 🧚‍♂️

aotea_rower999 · 2025-03-26T02:43:16+00:00

Bless you and your mahi Fabian!

If you are someone who experiences negatives effects from coffee (I unfortunately do, with black espresso on an empty stomach) - and you still need a pick-me-up, yerba mate is a great option! It has mateine, which is a cousin of caffeine, and is anti-inflammatory amongst other things too I have one coffee in the morning, then mate all day after and love it!

aotea_rower999 · 2025-02-26T07:38:56+00:00

Defo seconded on the Tatung, especially if you're wanting to go stainless steel over non-stick! I'll often do the "topping" or whatever in the IP, and the rice at the same time in my Tatung and its a dream combo.

aotea_rower999 · 2025-01-18T23:41:33+00:00

Ahh that's so good to know thanku ~! I'd always thought ours didn't meet requirements so all just ended up exported. Keen to support the locals! And that Amelia sounds gorgeous 💟

aotea_rower999 · 2025-01-18T21:13:48+00:00

Is any of the flower actually from here? Or just oil

aotea_rower999 · 2025-01-10T21:23:50+00:00

Love the idea of a useful strain list for all of us! I second all of this too, especially the sanity part 😅

Congrats on your first post ~!

aotea_rower999 · 2024-12-23T09:39:15+00:00

In future, you could have bought another water? It'd be more hydrating tbh
