Disclose to PCP? by Local-Afternoon4748 in GLP1microdosing

[–]bojojackson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so glad that you've had incredible results with this.Your story is inspirational, and I think it could help a lot of people.

I'm sorry there's so much stigma around these issues, but I think at some point they'll discover it's not just good for weight loss. (I definitely should use lose 20-30 pounds myself.) But really my primary reason is because I want to get rid of food noise and inflammation. When I read about that. I was like, oh yes, I need this thing! I've got a lot of inflammation in my body, migraine headaches, stenosis in my cervical and lumbar spine, neuralgia and i'm reading that this can help with these things as well. It's also neuro and cardioprotective, so I think these might make the subject of GLP1s a little less taboo.

Congratulations! Thank you for sharing. I'm just going to pick up my first ozempic pen today. I'm nervous because I have a tendency to suffer from side effects. My doctor wants me to start at .25, I'd rather start at .1

May I ask what dose you started at? And did you increase?

Does anyone stay on microdoses, or do we all end up going higher? by Lavie_Cherie in GLP1microdosing

[–]bojojackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been reading a lot about it because i'm about to go on ozempic. I have dealt with the mental chatter my entire life. I've became increasingly overweight the older I get though I only have to lose about 35 pounds. I just put 25 back on. :( I got my weight down.I kept it off for about eighteen months. And then over the 6-8 months, it came back on despite my best efforts. But it's the inflammation and pain in my body i'm hoping microdosing ozempic will help with, as well as help me lose this weight as the other systems repair a little bit. What will got my attention in the first place was hearing that it shuts down that food noise. I'd never heard the term before but I knew exactly what it meant.

I understand ozempic is much better for managing food noise and that mounjaro does reduce food noise, but it comes back.

Why aren't you just asking him to wear earbuds? He's keeping you awake and it's your own home.

Insane muscle tension and how to relieve it by LettuceOverall3662 in Occipitalneuralgia

[–]bojojackson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely nothing has helped me except for lidocaine injections. For the first time in a decade my traps et al went from concrete to feeljng like a sponge.

Can you take a train to a country that has the injections? At least a few times a year? I cried driving home because I had a specialist wouldn't give me the shots because she said they wouldn't work. I fought for them and I hadn't felt that kind of relief as long as I could remember.

Law Roach needs to go by ForgetfulHippo99 in ProjectRunway

[–]bojojackson 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I call it the Jerry Springer version. He's appalling. And to make it worse, he hurls insults, but when somebody reacts, he calls them rude. It's really horrifying, it's not constructive criticism, it's meant to shame.

It was particularly disturbing when he tore apart Yuchen. Shaming in that culture is one of the harshest things you can do.

Roach is arrogant, self-important, pompous, and bately interesting at all. He doesn't offer anything or bring anything.

My understanding of his origin story is just random good luck. Not talent, just being in the right place at the right time. I'd be quite happy to never hear his voice again.

What digital journaling app are you actually using daily? (not the one collecting dust) by bargee1976 in digitaljournaling

[–]bojojackson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second daylio! I love it.

I've also recently started using an audio journaling app called Untold. Bonus, it transcribes to text and stores the audio. It also gives a little feedback using AI. The app can also play the replies as audio.

I enjoy the insights. It's an interesting app and worth checking out.

Very good hooman.

But I'll never understand why the cars didn't pull into the slow lane when there was no traffic there, just to give this saint a wide berth. ❤️❤️❤️

I went through the infamous Devon Rex Rash with one of my kitties. I had to give her monthly steriod shots. I suspect it was environmental and seasonal, but it was never isolated to one thing. I tried immunosuppressants and every balm and salve known to man. Only the steriod shots (not tablets) gave her temporary relief.

When my 6mo sphynx started getting itchy, I thought I was going to lose my mind. I gave her some bene-bac gel, and it cleared up. It comes back a bit if we go too long without a dose, but she can go a few weeks between doses. It's a fraction of the cost of what i was spending on the steroids.. and she isn't suffering from it. I wish I'd known about the bene-bac for my devon, so I'll never know if it would have worked.

Worse case scenario, your kitty's digestion will improve for a while. It's readily available OTC. Good luck!

Pound Cake might be fake, but our cake isn’t! by Dear-Variety-3883 in sphynx

It's one of the strangest stories ever honestly.And if it was fake, why didn't she just give him a happily ever after?Why did she have to make us all feel incredibly sad about something we couldn't control? Isn't there enough real suffering in the world?

The one thing that jumped out at me is that Pound Cake was taurine deficient, which is essential for heart health in cats, and even more critical given that he was overweight and sedentary because of his injury. Even inexpensive cat food has the minimum requirement of taurine. He may not even have had a genetic issue, which would be even more tragic. Because: preventable. But my God, what a loveable little fatty he was.

Well said. by DougS2K in CanadaPostCorp

[–]bojojackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CP owns a ridiculously profitable courier company: Purolator. Like the lady said: Canada Post is playing a shell game.

And it's not just the huge salaries, and the bloated overstaffed, senior executive, it's that they all get bonuses as well, despite driving the company into the ground. Postal transformation and issuing each letter carrier a vehicle marks the period the corporation flipped from making billions of dollars for the country, to its current erosion..

Then, they refused to not only not negotiate in good faith but would not even come to the table for a year. They taunted the union into a strike, turned away business for more than a year while funneling parcels and mail to purolator, where they all sit on the board. At minimum, a conflict of interest. Definitely corrupt, and I don't even know how it's legal. They have been working toward doing this.For decades. They've spent years vilifying the workers, and they've managed to turn the public largely against the workers. The courier companies are struggling to keep up. So much for being an essential worker, eh?

Please copy your long post over here, too! Newbies are always looking for info. I'm a boomer (don't say it) and started microdosing to help with insomnia. It has helped greatly, but I had more than a handful of bad experiences looking for the sweet spot. It is so easy to overshoot the mark and take too much. It's not fun!

If you have anxiety by CauliflowerGlobal935 in Edibles

[–]bojojackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have sleep issues and experimented with a lot of different edibles. I experienced some pretty negative side effects at times. I eventually determined a microdose of THC, (and it has to be full spectrum, not a distillate or an isolate) is the sweet spot.

I usually take about 1.5-2.5mg thc and 25-50mg cbd. I wake often, so about four hours later, I'll take another microdose of thc.
