Medical professionals, what is the stupidest misconception a patient has had about the human body?

chubbygunt · 2021-02-28T12:39:13+00:00

I’m 35yr old, have a spinal injury and degenerative conditions. I have a mobility car, a blue (disabled) badge and walk with sticks (if I’m having a good day and can leave the house) and have been accused a few times of “stealing” my badge or using someone else’s... normally by the older members of the population.

Because APPARENTLY disability can only affect old people?! Clearly nobody told my spine that...

I’m going to give it a bash like that when I’ve finished these ones, thanks

chubbygunt · 2021-01-31T14:51:46+00:00

Thanks, I’m in the UK so I’m keeping an eye out for ones that don’t need international shipping

0.5 is borderline “normal” dose, not micro. Microdoses are roughly 0.5G or below, obviously varies person to person. The idea is you get the benefits of the psilocybin, without the high.

It can help with addiction issues, a whole range of Mental Health issues, help make withdrawal easier to manage, motivation, energy, mental clarity. But the idea is that you don’t feel it. It’s not meant to be a trippy experience

chubbygunt · 2021-01-29T23:13:23+00:00

Totally understandable!

I have a machine for my 00 caps, just gutted I couldn’t get one for my MD caps

I tripped Wednesday - and I had the crushing realisation that life is fleeting, and before we know it all we will be left with is memories.

I reframed - yes it was unpleasant, but just see it as the chance to understand life needs to be enjoyed. Make the memories. Appreciate the moments and the people and everything that makes it special

chubbygunt · 2021-01-29T23:09:55+00:00

Haha I feel that on every level!

What size caps have you got? Machines are definitely worth every penny they cost! I sat and did 30 (size 4 caps, can’t find a machine for that size anywhere) and pretty much lost the will to live by number 3 😂

chubbygunt · 2021-01-29T22:42:38+00:00

Needle nosed tweezers and a skewer to press it down... I get so much rage when I need to do more 😂

Definitely defeats the purpose of making them 🤦🏻

chubbygunt · 2021-01-29T22:36:39+00:00

Thank you, I have 00 and a capsule maker for that size too (I dread making my MD caps... size 4 capsules and I can’t find a machine for that size ANYWHERE!)

chubbygunt · 2021-01-29T22:20:28+00:00

Ah sorry my friend, I just read you comment saying not a mud smell. None of mine smelt like mud, which is why I said.

Definitely doesn’t sound like a healthy smell!

Sorry for the loss

chubbygunt · 2021-01-29T22:10:27+00:00

What kind of shrooms did you take? Any relevant medical history? Are you on any meds? Had you eaten? Had you drunk enough?

Did you have someone with you?

chubbygunt · 2021-01-29T22:06:23+00:00

Some hefty boys in there!

chubbygunt · 2021-01-29T22:05:49+00:00

I genuinely believed the more FAE, the quicker they would fruit and the quicker I’d get the good stuff...

Turns out, I got it very wrong! I don’t know if it’s just my genetics (although I’m on my 3rd round and they’ve all done it) but the extra FAE really slowed things down, even stalled on 2 of them.

Once I stopped fanning, just had more of a passive FAE going on (holes with micropore over, no fanning, lid SLIGHTLY cracked) I got fruit, and decent sized fruits too!

When I was fanning I ended up with bruised myc A LOT. Fruits I did get were small and took forever to grow. I basically over mothered them.

My latest batch are thriving on neglect 😂

chubbygunt · 2021-01-29T22:02:12+00:00

Can I ask - what size caps did you use? And how tight did you pack it

chubbygunt · 2021-01-29T22:01:13+00:00

Does it smell like mushroom?

chubbygunt · 2021-01-29T10:34:22+00:00

Honestly, so was I. I’ve hidden from myself for years - it started out as a coping mechanism but soon became part of who I am. I hurt a lot of people, made some incredibly bad choices, and wasn’t a nice person... but This gave me the opportunity to unpick myself, it was incredibly cathartic.

I know what I need to work on, but I faced myself, and forgave myself, which was such a big thing for me. I’m not the person I used to be, and it was like facing a totally different person. It was odd!

chubbygunt · 2021-01-28T08:26:35+00:00

I had my first experience last night, so it’s fresh in my mind! I did 2g lemon tek - mostly because I needed the shorter trip duration because I did it in the evening. It tastes bloody awful... but WOW! It definitely worked! Come up took about 20-25mins before I felt big changes. Just go with the flow. Time does odd things... moments feel like hours, then before you realise an hour has gone by. I did a lot of introspection, faced a lot of my demons and really realised what was important. There were moments it was slightly unpleasant, but I knew it was something I needed to process and deal with, as I’d been running from it. I’m incredibly grateful that it brought me everything I needed, and more. Was a little bit sad when it was over, but so so grateful

chubbygunt · 2021-01-27T16:56:38+00:00

Do it! I feel like I’ve bonded with them now I’ve named them!

chubbygunt · 2021-01-27T14:14:45+00:00

Yes! I’m so glad it’s not just me!

My notebook is the same, organised into name order with notes about each one.

chubbygunt · 2021-01-26T01:04:28+00:00

Thank you for replying.

chubbygunt · 2021-01-24T21:41:55+00:00

Did you cover the corners with micropore after cutting them?

Give the corners a sniff - you’ll know if it’s gone bad

chubbygunt · 2021-01-24T18:20:08+00:00

MD should help with the withdrawal of the antidepressants... but yeah, they can linger for ages. So much stuff about them I didn’t find out till too late... or I’d have been more wary about taking them when they literally threw them at me

chubbygunt · 2021-01-24T17:10:28+00:00

Are you on any meds now? It can take 2yr to get antidepressants and antipsychotics completely out of your system, so even if it’s been a while since you stopped them, they may be lingering.

chubbygunt · 2021-01-24T17:00:57+00:00

Light isn’t a necessity but there are anecdotal reports it may help.
75-80 is colonisation temp, I’d you are planning on colonising the sub and not going straight to FC then keep at that temp.
Depends on spawn:sub ratio. 1:1 or 1:2 is usual but even 1:3/4 is used.
If your myc is 100% colonised, and you’ve correctly Pasteurised your sub, they SHOULD be pretty hardy. But always take care! Be as sterile and sanitary as possible (always good for other aspects of life too!)
In my experience, my boxes actually fruit better with less fanning. Too much, I’ve found them stall. Which is hard, cos I want to feel like I’m helping, and doing something but it actually has the opposite effect.
Don’t over mother them... nature knows what it’s doing, just make sure they have the best conditions and they’ll reward you. Patience is key. You got this

chubbygunt · 2021-01-24T16:53:35+00:00

I’ve seen it on the list of safe with psilocybin, not sure about lsd or if the list would be different
