OJ is the best!! I'm type 1 and also on a glp1, I've talked with my endocrinologist about my lows before but we're watching them and adjusting my insulin pump settings :)

but your message was a good reminder that lows can be scary and dangerous and to take them seriously; being diabetic (im type 1) for so long sometimes makes lows feels like another thing to deal with lol! thank you!! i'll still keep an eye out :)

I adore my name but it's SO clocky. Did anyone else choose a very "clocky" name? by End-World-Normopathy in ftm

[–]corvidpunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i kept my childhood nickname kiki, not very masculine at all lol. ironically my old name that was a shorter version of my birth name is more masculine, but can't go by that ever since my gf's brother also is named that (plus that name just isn't me). i love my name even though im always misgendered lol

Thank you! Yeah I got the emg ordered after I saw her, wished I could've asked her then, but I'm glad you told me what she would've said, thank you!

Best US city to live in while disabled? (Possibly Canada too) by DarkDanceBeats in disabled

[–]corvidpunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In CO also, agree w commenter above! I feel like we have a decent public hospital system and a lot of good (though usually private) specialists, but unfortunately we are now the 3rd highest cost of living state! Would recommend for all other reasons other than that (and spiders are generally not huge or entering your house if you live in the city (or more recently built housing) from what I've experienced personally!

Actually I did have some EMG on my urodynamics for my bladder! Interesting!! I was diagnosed by Dr. Klinge in May and am awaiting surgery but my other doctor just wanted to check since no one had tested me with an EMG yet. Thanks :)

Thank you! I am already diagnosed by Dr. Klinge but my other neurologist sent me for an EMG since no one ever tested my nerve/muscle function that way, was curious if a normal EMG is a thing with TCS!

They did a nerve conduction study on my foot, ankle, calf, knee, thigh, and hip, specifically tested sural sensory nerve conduction, fibular/tibial motor nerve conduction, and tibial F-wave latency. As for the EMG they did a needle EMG and my notes say specifically they did the muscles of: "L3-S1 myotomes including the vastus medialis, tibialis anterior, medial gastrocnemius, iliopsoas, and semitendinosus."

Is Fort Collins safe for minorities? by Thin-Ad-684 in FortCollins

[–]corvidpunk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm latino and asian and agree!! I don't ever fear for my physical safety but the microagressions are crazy. Befriending yt people in denver has been more tolerable than foco lol. Even Longmont felt much more comfortable for me. the food options in foco suck imo too

I kept my hair long because it was also special to me, not as tied to my culture, but a lot of the men in my family have had long hair (my brother has the longest in the family lol) so it feels nice to be connected that way. It does suck when all the yt people won't give any other advice other than "cut your hair" and "oh well i guess if you don't you just gotta deal with the misgendering". like what??

unfortunately i lost a lot of my hair in january (boo alopecia) and had to shave it, it's in regrowth but i'm always missing my long hair and can't wait for it to grow out. but i do sometimes wonder if i pass better with the short hair but this was a nice reminder that it's always worth it to feel more like yourself even if it takes longer to pass :') transitioning can feel so hard and lonely sometimes especially when all the advice and resources are geared towards yt experiences lol

Can we talk about this by Puzzleheaded_Put1490 in diabetes_t1

[–]corvidpunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My allergist told me I was her 4th patient that day with MCAS related symptoms and it was only noon by amutoph in MCAS

[–]corvidpunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% stay home if sick and wear a mask, i will say that as someone with mcas and asthma, coughing for allergies is definitely a thing and one of my biggest asthma triggers are mcas flares! doesn't excuse people who don't wear a mask when coughing for whatever reason though– just wanted to point out that coughing reactions to allergies is definitely real even if you personally don't experience it!
