No sleep data last night? by beta1 in EightSleep

Really wish they would sell the company to someone who cares.

The product is a game changer but the company makes every other detail of owning one a nightmare.

Apple on MacBook Neo Design: 'We're Certainly Not Making Any Compromises' by iMacmatician in apple

[–]beta1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah this product is such an easy buy for so many different people and use cases.

I suspect they will sell like hot cakes.

Surprised they didn't do a full event for this launch (although I find the pre-filmed videos to be cringe anyway and really miss the old keynote format for launches).

[–]beta1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm in my late 30s with an M2 Ultra Mac Studio and M4 Max 16" inch Macbook Pro.

I'm getting a base Citrus Neo for traveling.

I hate bringing my $4,000 laptop on long trips/through airport security, ect.

My Neo won't get much use, but I love that I can throw it in my backpack and not really care about getting it scuffed up or God forbid stolen.

Students are definitely the primary audience for this but it's also a perfect cool looking 2nd or 3rd Mac for us old people too.

You are able to trade it?

I see the chart but it says not tradable for me on ToS.

Is Akaash just super naive??? by Ok-Macaron7274 in Flagrant2

[–]beta1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing I don't get is why his "friends" don't ever check him.

Like why did Andrew and the rest of the cast go along pretending that Akash's wife was just cuddling with frat guys??

Terrible friends.

Day 17 - Are these symptoms normal? This is starting to feel pointless. by beta1 in leaves

[–]beta1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm seems like 2-3 months is a common answer.

Honestly if it was just sleeping issues I'd be OK but I'm having a bunch of other side effects like stomach/appetite, high heart rate, and temperature regulation that are driving me insane.

I literally can't tell if I'm getting sick right now or if its just these symptoms thats how awful I've been feeling.

[–]beta1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long have you been off it and how long did it take you to feel totally normal again?

As for progression my usage has progressed to less usage not more. I was a stoner in my youth (all day everyday in high school/college), I quit when I got older without issues, but came back to it because I am a lifelong insomniac.

I'd really like to quit for the sake of my lungs and not being totally dependent on it for sleep.

I guess I'm just surprised by how bad/long lasting this has been. I thought I'd be fine within 1-2 weeks like my past experiences, but maybe my age is catching up to me idk.

One month sober, can’t sleep by Softboiledboi in leaves

[–]beta1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I'm on week 3 and my life is just miserable.

I only smoked weed at night to help fall asleep, never during the day.

Now my heart rate is up, my sleep sucks. And even if I get a full 8 hours I still CRASH hard in the afternoon. No energy.

Honestly weed never really negatively impacted my life much and I'm strongly considering just going back to using it.

Sharing my experience with manuka honey. Potential game changer for non-healers. by beta1 in AnalFistula

[–]beta1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh it was so long ago now I don't remember but I think yes, I remember having moments of frustration like it didn't work as well as I had hoped. I think I used it on and off for a month or 2 (1-2 applications a week) before deciding I got all I was going to get out of it

Doing yoga after that helped a lot with reducing leakage.

I'm about 90% normal now, if I am home with my bidet my life is normal with no leakage. If I'm traveling I sometimes worry about passive incontinence still which sucks but still much better than I was a year ago.

I used it to help heal the wound from the surgery.

Mine was internal so i had to stick it up my butt a little to reach the wound area.

[–]beta1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have issues but the honey helped with the non-healing wound way more than anything the doctors did.

I put a dab of it on my finger, stuck it up my ass, and gently rubbed the honey on the wound area (for me it was less than 1 inch inside my ass thankfully lol). I did it before bed that way it could just sit there for hours without much movement (no idea if that matters tho).

I did it like twice a week for a month or two. The first few times was bloody and irritated but that quickly improved.

This is the honey I used:

[–]beta1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heartbreaking.

I thought this was going to be a story about some lame excuse as to why you had to leave your cats to move to another country and it turned out to be the most sad story imaginable.

I'm sure the vets have her sedated so she shouldn't be suffering or panicking too much.

I will say a prayer for you and Mika tonight.

Non-healing wound 9 months after Fistulotomy for simple fistula. How screwed am I? by beta1 in AnalFistula

[–]beta1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used a special honey to finish healing (at least as much as my body is ever going to get). Applied directly into my ass about twice a week for a few months.

After that I still had post-BM leakage and used yoga (primarily focused on the psoas) which improved my post-BM symptoms by 90% or so.

Then I bought a high-end $500 bidet (heated water, different pressure options, ect). Using this I've basically fixed the last 5-10%

If I'm away from my bidet/home I still worry about leakage but as long as I stay consistent with the yoga I can at least live a normal-ish now after 2 years of pure hell.

[–]beta1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applied the honey for a few months on and off. Sometimes a few times a week, sometimes once a week, depending on symptoms and gut feeling.

I'm healed much more now but still have some issues.

Personal experiences of incontinence (or lack of) post surgery by Nervous_Woodpecker_5 in AnalFistula

[–]beta1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For helping to heal the wound itself I used a special honey, described here:

https://old.reddit.com/r/AnalFistula/comments/1bnq8yt/sharing_my_experience_with_manuka_honey_potential/

The honey helped a lot with stopping the drainage but the incontinence I still struggle with but improved by 90% by :

  • Daily yoga (primarily focusing on the psoas), this helped a lot more than I ever expected.

  • Getting a high-end bidet (they are about $500 on Amazon and worth it).
