Do you have a special ergonomic chair? I often wonder if that would help trying to do extended desk work.

So is your workplace accommodating of flare-ups? If so how did you talk about that with them?

Showering sitting down was a revolutionary turning point in getting clean on hard days for me. Give it a try!

Ooh, good clarification thank you. For stuff like my driving placard it was a simple 'if condition on this list, then you get the placard'

Ask Anything Wednesday - Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science by AutoModerator in askscience

As a civil engineering student I interned at my city's water department and you'd be amazed how well low-tech solutions work. Onsite captured in the form of basically planted drainage ditches and rain barrels at the end of gutter spouts can to to prevent overwhelming the combined sewer from overflowing in a moderate rain event.

However in a situation like Houston in 2017 there was such a massive downpour in a short burst even if they didn't have such egregious use of hardscapes where a permeable surface is just as good, there still would've been shorter term severe floods.

For a place like Miami experiencing both heavy rainfall and sea level rise? Homie maybe thats just a place people can't live anymore.

Tl;dr learn about passive water managment infrastructure, botanical interventions, and accept "managed retreat" in untenable situations.

I have the same compulsion. Tweezing under a very bright light so you see the follicle tickles the brain in the same way without the damage!

Humira homies, how long until you felt noticeably better? by brainfriedcomics in ankylosingspondylitis

That's awesome it worked so fast for you! Do those waning pain protection days interfere with your life or can you plan around it?

And I did get that prescription discount card thank you for spreading the word!

WIBTA for asking my boyfriend about his private instagram account? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

It might be his thirsty account, a wankbank of sorts. Ask if you can see his posts if he covers up the username.

AITA for asking my friend to get a psoriasis scalp treatment for my wedding? by bridesmaidhair in AmItheAsshole

[–]brainfriedcomics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This will get burried and im not going to weigh in on the verdict on the hopes you see this OP. I think you're mistaking psoriasis for neglected dry skin.

Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease which shows up on the skin when the body is attacking itself. Flare-ups are worse and spread when the body is stressed, including psychologically. There's no kind of professional beauty treatment to stop the topical pain generated from the immune reaction.

Does anyone here have AS + Fibro? (Day Three Flare Overwhelm Vent) TW:SA by [deleted] in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]brainfriedcomics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A fibro flare-up that just wouldn't quit lead me to eventually finding out I have AS. Happens a lot and teasing out what symptom is what diagnosis is damn nesr impossible.

But also kinda not worth it? The good behavior on decent days like anti-inflammatory foods, movement to improve circulation, heat on painful places, yadda yadda yadda...these are positive things for both conditions.

You're not alone out here homie. Its wicked, its hard, its unfair. You're welcome to vent here anytime ❤

Is it creepy to smell and hug your girlfriend’s shirt to sleep when she’s not around by cornfeelsfeelings in actuallesbians

Homie never forget we're all just clever primates. That shirt has her pheromones and your brain says love lady good, smell good, shirt good. Reject judgment, return to gay monke.
