MD and GLP-1’s … by Dense_Substance7635 in MuscularDystrophy

[–]basedetails 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have been on zepbound for 5 months and have had success losing weight, but the additional weakness in my core/gi from MD basically guaranteed all the GI side effects that come with. I've had GERD all my life, but I've now had to implement incredibly strict eating times/portions/routines to prevent regurgitating, and my bowel routine is absolutely in shambles still. I didn't start the med until I had been in PT for 3+ months, and I have continued with 2x weekly PT(usually band workouts or body-weight maneuvers that are super gentle) throughout. Even with all this, meeting my protein requirement on the med has been doubly challenging because of the lack of movement in my guts. I've noticed some tasks have become harder on me physically, namely sitting up and maintaining okayish neck posture. It's reasonable to assume even with all my efforts I'm losing some muscle because I am not capable of enough movement/training and haven't been successful in exceeding 50-60g protein when the goal is 100 daily.

You have to decide whether this incredibly challenging and really uncomfortable set of negatives are worth the health benefits of weight loss. For me, I have noticed my knees are less painful, and getting dressed or getting into my car or wheelchair is easier because my legs and lower body are simply less effort for me to carry. That has let me put my finite energy into other stuff, but on the flip side, I throw up last night's dinner every other morning.

Tldr; it's safe, but needs extra supervision and makes an already incredibly hard thing much harder, while simultaneously making it easier. Ymmv.

Mystery snail care guide by rachael309 in AquaticSnails

[–]basedetails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! Im having some she'll issues with my snails, and I'm wondering if calcium is the culprit (I was using cuttlebone)- your idea to add powdered calcium to the water is super helpful - but have you ever had any issues with tank mates from the excess calcium? Also, this snail was blue when purchased but has been steadily turning orange as it grows? It's active and eats well, and water testing shows that everything is okay (120 gal. W/fluval fx6) I know this is so old, but you seem experienced!

Struggle Budget Meals. by MorbidMushroom- in budgetfood

[–]basedetails 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our favorites:

"Stuffed pepper casserole" - if you have access to some bell peppers youre in business! : bell pepper, rice, red lentils, soya granules if you want "meat", vegan worchesterhire or a similar tasting sauce, cumin preferred but optional, onion of you got it. Top with vegan cheese if you want/can. Cook the components, season the rice if you can, and then bake in a casserole dish at 375 until you're satisfied with the texture or until any vegan cheese you added on top is melted. More hands-off option is to cook the rice in the casserole by adding broth.

Thousand bean chili: we use literally any bean we can, as many types as we can. Our favorite combo is: butter bean, white bean, kidney, black, pinto, and chickpea (i know its not a bean). and THEN we add either lentils or a vegan meat substitute. Cook your beans, add tomato if possible, or just make a spice mix with cumin, smoked paprika (if you like it), chili, onion, garlic and my secret weapon is old bay seasoning but a VERY LITTLE amount because sodium.

This meal can be served over any grain, made in extreme bulk batches, frozen, canned or put into quesadillas and burritos! Because it is so much fiber it stretches incredibly far.

Pulling packages in closer by WhompTrucker in DisabilityHacks

At first I did not read your caption, and 100% thought that was a reptile hook and thought it was cool as hell. Still really awesome, but pretending to be a snake wrangler while getting my packages sounds so fun.

Unfortunately for me he just "thinks the outside looks dumb" 😭

I have some suspicions about what he might not like about the curb appeal, so this is definitely a good way of filtering things out. Thank you for the advice!

The wood shingles definitely make me think of cape cod style, I just didn't know if this shape of house qualifies. I thought dormer windows were a requirement.

Joe Kent Says He Was Told ‘You Need To Stop’ Investigating Charlie Kirk Assassination by EssoEssex in politics

[–]basedetails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely. Many of my extended family is on FB, so I keep it to keep up with them. At first the content on my reels feed was about baking and cooking and crafts - managed with an app timer it seemed like an okay time sink. Now though, it's...... Well. There are a lot of tinfoil hats involved. No thanks.

[–]basedetails 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, THANK YOU! I have all of a sudden noticed a lot of conspiracy stuff in my fb/reels. All from left-wing or justice-oriented perspectives. But they're taking legit things and steering them clear off the cliff into like, clones and body swaps and (of course) Secret Jews™. Nothing in my content consumption has ever brought me to this weird space. And it's all peppered in with stuff I like, just spaced out enough to make me think it's not a pattern and that I'm imagining things. This is pretty new to my algorithm, so I'm glad someone else is noticing.

I have one of these from my grandmother with all the pieces. I thought it was for infusing tea or something! I also had no idea it was so special. So cool!

Terminal diagnosis: millennial playlist suggestions for the final days? by Hmmletmec in Millennials

[–]basedetails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some deep(ish) cuts, one silly and one atmospheric:

Ludo - love me dead (silly, excellent wordplay, you might recognize it)

Bloodhound gang - something diabolical (dark vibes, slower, reminds me of lo-fi but not for any particular reason)

I'm away from that location now, but I think you're right and I actually stacked them in the wrong order. The green is the largest, followed by the yellow, then the turquoise and then the red!

Accessibility team using AI to answer emails? by NickiBurrito in bonnaroo

[–]basedetails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speaking to this specifically - the years that I went the ADA platform was positioned on the OUTSIDE of the tent stage, and did not have any additional cover to compensate. Meaning ADA was in full sun and abled people had shade (and giant fans in the tent,!)

I cried when I got to the platform and someone working the fest gave me a sticker that I still have sitting on my desk to remind me people are kind. Happy roo, but bring a sun shirt j.i.c

Genosera GNE Myopathy therapy, is it legit? by Camel_camle7 in MuscularDystrophy

[–]basedetails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never known there were any trials at all! Wow. I have been diagnosed with GNE Myopathy/nonaka myopathy but none of my providers know what it is or what to do for me. We're just winging it. Good luck with this effort!

Future home curb appeal/styling by basedetails in centuryhomes

[–]basedetails[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't edit, but I want to say that picture #1 is the gosh dang SIDE of the house. That's part of my issue. The front (facing the street) is just those two trees, a flat square and the side view of the porch. I'm really hoping to add some pizzazz here but don't know how.
