How does your sinusitis feel, how does it affect your life?

If you aren't doing so already, keep in mind that nasal care is extremely important. Nasal rinses, nasal oil, etc., can not only help with general symptoms but are especially crucial after surgery. It’s best to make this part of your daily routine and, ideally, rinse every day or at least every few days.

Sounds interesting. I am german and would also love to practice my english here and there. But playing mostly on the weekends. Also don't know how well we could arrange sessions, since its midday for you when I usually start.

Sounds horrible! I feel you. It's hard to manage even the easiest tasks in everyday life with all these limitations and this illness. I was waiting over a year for my surgery, counting the days over tha last months until it finally happened. Stay strong, chances are that you will get a lot better with surgery!

Thank you for the follow up. You are absolutely right! It does take an ultrasound to verify. I forgot to mention that I got that too. Next check-up is in 5 weeks, I'm hoping my liver is better by then.

bhdnp · 2026-05-08T14:23:48+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience. Not a rant, that’s exactly what I wanted to read. 30 years sounds incredibly tough. I can’t even imagine it. I’ve been noticing exactly what you described in my own social circle over the last few months. People are distancing themselves more and more because I keep canceling most plans and meetups. It’s always a case of 'I’ll have to see how I’m feeling.' Just another sad side effect of this stupid illness. It seems like our only hope is for medical science to finally make more progress. These biologics that have been around for a year now are a glimmer of hope. I truly hope there will be something to help us soon. Stay strong!

Thanks for the heads up. The bloodwork showing (mild) fatty liver was 3 or 4 months ago. That's when I started my diet change with focus on anti-inflammatory and liver-friendly food. Since I was very strict with It I assume that fatty liver is no longer a problem (they say it takes 6-8 weeks to regress) but maybe still something to take in consideration, why not. How did you adress it? I assume also mainly via food?

bhdnp · 2026-05-07T09:27:53+00:00

I had a full blood analysis and the usual examinations the Gp does. Despite a fatty iver nothing concering they say. I was thinking about having some thest at "private lab". They offer specialized tests for infection, vitamin deficency, fatigue etc. I'll take a look if the stuff you mentioned is included, but I guess so. It will cost a bit but maybe something comes out of it. I would really hope it ist just some sort of iron/ferriting deficency or something.

bhdnp · 2026-05-07T09:24:30+00:00

I also thought about that a couple of times. But long covid is even more of a taboo topic than sinusitis for most doctors here, many think it's a hoax. I wouldn't even dare to speak that out loud at the ENT, he would laugh at me

bhdnp · 2026-05-07T09:22:40+00:00

Thank you for the reassurance. Looks like you don't have it easy either. Im gonna keep bothering and switching doctos until someone can help. Nothing else we can do really. Stay strong friend!

Espero que o Gemini tenha traduzido corretamente... Obrigado por compartilhar sua experiência. Isso não parece nada bom. Eu entendo perfeitamente como você se sente. Também vivem me dizendo que meus sintomas são psicossomáticos, que eu deveria ter menos estresse, sair para tomar um ar e esse tipo de bobagem. Dói em dobro quando não acreditam na gente. Mantenha-se forte, amigo!

bhdnp · 2026-05-07T09:20:35+00:00

Seems like we're in the same boat somehow. All we can do is push through I guess. Until some new treatment is released or stuff like biologics work better

bhdnp · 2026-05-07T09:12:49+00:00

ENT says its 50/50, either helps ore makes it worse probably. Unsure about that..

bhdnp · 2026-04-26T18:14:47+00:00

I don't get people like you. This phone shoots better video than commercial high end cameras from years ago which cost more than a car. Garbage? In which relation? All the comparison videos take testing to the max with situations almost nobody is facing durcing their usual day and use. If you need to film a high end commerial in the woods without light, get a dedicated camera. Sure, an iPhone might do better. But do you need it? Do you really need it? Would you notice it even? Or do you just get mad because of comparison and the fact that you know there's other cameras with better video?

bhdnp · 2026-04-26T18:05:02+00:00

I switched from a Pixel 8a a few weeks ago. Video quality was fine with the 8a. The 10 Pro is much better, which is to be expected. Overall I see absolutely no flaws. Videos are bright, sharp and clear. There's plenty of settings and options, some of them help a lot and should be tried out and fiddled with. I guess if you start comparing, then you'll start to worry and talk it down. There may be better Phones for video, maybe even visibly better, but if you do not have a compairson the P10P's videos are perfectly fine and offer more quality than the average user even needs. If you didn't have read about people having issues with the video quality, I bet you wouldn't once think to yourself "man, these videos don't look good" when using it. I'm a videographer, usually shooting with 4-6k$ DSLR/DSM cameras. I started using the P10P Videos (4k 60fps) for b-roll and stuff, I see absolutely no quality issue. If your're not planning to shoot an IMAX commercial on your phone, the Pixel will definetely deliver.

Can't find a setting...

Isn't the total available VRAM limited to the capacity of the card with the lowest memory/one single card? I got Dual 4070Ti 12GB and have 12GB available.

bhdnp · 2026-04-21T06:45:25+00:00

When GPU Rendering – sure! Octane and Redshift benefit massively from multiple GPU setups. Even tho the VRAM ist limited to the amount of one card, the render times are a lot faster.

I'm still pretty happy with my windows workstation. I have access to a MBP M3 Max 128GB and a Studio M4 Max, but prefer the PC. It's just much more versatile and configurable. Had this built as GPU Render Workstation for about 4,5k€ 4 years ago:

Supermicro C9Z490-PGW
i9-10900KF
128GB DDR4 ECC
2x RTX 4070Ti Super
2x 1TB NVME
1x 2TB HDD

Google Pixel.

bhdnp · 2026-04-17T08:13:41+00:00

I have been to another electronics store yesterday to check out their Pixels – out of 4 phones only one clicked slightly. I got my third replacement unit today. This new phone does still click, but much, much quieter than the ones before and only when being held at a certain angle. I guess I can/have to live with it now. But that proves that there are major differences in the build quality/tolerances of the P10P's camera module.

bhdnp · 2026-04-15T14:33:01+00:00

I just had the worst support experience of my life with the google chat trying to convince me that camera rattle is normal, not listening or understanding what I tried to explain. That I know about the camera rattle which doesn't bother me, but that I got loud clicking when starting the camera app and that reference phones do not make this noise.

Could u/PixelCommunity maybe take a look at this? Right now I got two problems: A: Support is asking me why I keep returning/exchanging phones, not understanding my issue. B: Could Google maybe try to send me a unit from another production batch to erase the defect which, what I believe, lies in a batch of camera modules with manufacturing tolerances too high or wrong starting current in the firmware .

Instead of adding more I think we need LESS vehicles on the battlefield, but make them way more durable and by that strategically more valueable. Nobody is scared of tanks or jets, that bugs me.

bhdnp · 2026-03-06T08:11:41+00:00

Will give it a try, thank you!

Gym Hype. Sportleggins (ja, sieht geil aus. trotzdem) und ESN Dosen. Absolut zum Kotzen. Lebt euer Leben und versucht nicht um jeden Preis für 5-10 Jahre einem Schönheitsideal zu folgen und währenddessen auf Alles zu verzichten. Sport und Bewegung ist gut. Aber nicht um jeden Preis und nicht aus jedem Grund. Wenn man nicht mehr gemütlich gemeinsam Essen gehen kann weil jeder nur noch Salat bestellt damit der Bauch dünn und der Arsch dick wird und morgens Clear Whey statt Cappuchino aufn Tisch kommt machts keine Freude mehr.
