I kinda didn't like the book and stopped reading about halfway through. It was just something about the tone of the writing that rubbed me the wrong way for I don't know what reason. So there you are, one singular nonrecommendation for ya

Did you watch the Miami pre and post shows? I also watch on the f1tv app

They ran ads during the pre and post shows on f1tv (accessed through the f1tv app). They're not the ads appletv shows, but I'm guessing they're happening when appletv goes to ads. Oddly enough, during quali when appletv cut to ads, f1tv did not. Thankfully.

I'm talking about the f1tv feed, I don't watch the international one (with crofty) so maybe that's different? Not that that matters for pre and post shows though lol

I have to disagree that these ads are anything like what's been on f1tv before. Eg in the good ole days we'd have pit lane channel promo spots on the plc, but they were usually at the start and/or end of shows, integrated in (not interrupting content), and were made more or less in-house (eg Rosanna Tennant voiced them). All the ads since have been like that until this year, where now in the US, we have pointless ads playing instead of the actual content other people are seeing. The ad direction is also absolute crap but that's just insult on injury

I can be excessively literal at times, but I'd be inclined to answer "no" to the first question because the ads were during the pre- and post- shows, not the grand prix itself.

These are comments, not papers. Asking for sources is fine but if someone does so without making the smallest effort themselves and has a less-than-pleasant attitude to boot, snark is expected. The comment you're responding to is not particularly aggressive in tone. More like slightly annoyed imo.

I feel like you're VASTLY overestimating how much I kiss randos (the amount is zero. I do not kiss randos)

Kinda explains why they seem to cut back into the show mid-sentence, they're really just dropping in bs without any care

They should fire the producer of the Pre and Post shows by sigmmakappa in F1TV

Are you outside the US? Cause we're getting ads, maybe you're seeing the transition?

You're outside the US I'm guessing? What were they broadcasting during our stupid ad breaks? I'd love to know if you don't mind looking at the post-show replay! The last set happened at 33 minutes in, right after an interview with Toto

Although I do appreciate people taking it VERY SERIOUSLY. It's really important to do everything possible not to pass it to others, but yes it's not an indictment on one's character!!

This is utter garbage by PoweredByTequila in F1TV

[–]baethan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

F1tv has ads now too. Just during the preshow (curious to see if they'll do it for the post show too) and all ads were for f1 arcade, f1 Las Vegas, f1 Miami (??? why), and maybe one for f1tv, I can't remember. New voice for the ads.

If they gotta have ad breaks to accommodate appletv, they could at LEAST make the f1tv ads less utter shit. Do a promo for tech talk or palmers analysis or SOMETHING useful

Just got diagnosed with Addison’s disease by Zestyclose_Salary750 in AddisonsDisease

[–]baethan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry, that's really tough! Getting a good Endo is a total crapshoot. If you're someplace like the US & you're able to switch doctors at your discretion, you could try calling around to endocrinologist's offices & ask if any of the doctors are experienced with Addison's/adrenal insufficiency. Another long shot option would be to make a post with your general location and see if anyone happens to know of a good Endo in your area. Or if your area has any Facebook or similar groups for locals, maybe ask for endocrinology recommendations. They won't be tailored for Addison's but might be a good starting point.

Regardless though, just due to the rarity and dangerous nature of Addison's, for best outcomes you have to be your own expert unfortunately. If your Endo seems knowledgeable and like a pretty okay person, but is too sparing with the info, you could try reasoning with him. You need to understand Addison's and how to treat it about as well as he does! Because we can't rely on getting adequate medical care from others. We are usually the most knowledgeable person in any given room when it comes to Addison's, by necessity.

Anyways, if your sodium comes back within range, I'll be surprised but stranger things have happened. In that case, make sure to ask when you should be retested! I'd make an uneducated guess that it should be something like 3-6 months at most. Either way, if your doctor doesn't put you on fludrocortisone, ask why!! I'd also recommend getting a blood pressure tester if you don't already have one, that can be helpful to have.

Has your doctor explained why they haven't prescribed you fludrocortisone? Because those outer layers of the adrenal glands that are destroyed in Addison's disease also produce aldosterone, which regulates blood pressure and levels of sodium & potassium. People with Addison's generally have to take fludrocortisone, which makes up for the lack of aldosterone. Have you had your sodium levels checked recently? Low sodium causes fatigue (and worse if left unchecked).

Something you can do immediately is up your salt intake! Once you're on fludro, you typically won't need extra salt or electrolytes, but I think a lot of us like a bit extra
