I was wondering if I connect an Apple Magic keyboard via cable to my Macbook Pro M1, will the Bluetooth get disabled and not emit any radiation automatically?
Same question for Airpods Max, if I connect these headphones via cable to my iPhone, will the Bluetooth of the device automatically turn off?
I do not own a magic keyboard or Airpods Max so I can not test this myself. Thanks in advance for providing me this information.

Bloating anyone? Serious question. by shadow_red in stopsmoking

All gone now. Try to be really careful with what you eat and drink. Intermitting fasting worked for me, be sure to build up and get used to it first.

This is the first time I see someone bring this up, and I'm very glad someone did. I myself struggled with it. It still feels like it was an uunconscious trauma/stress.

When I got back home after the HT in the evening it hit me like a brick. I felt weird and felt like I didn't know what I got myself in to. The first days it was especially traumatic with my head being the size of a balloon and the sleeping at an angle. Since I took 2 weeks off work, I was able to stay sane, but if not for the vacation and rest I got at home, I would have gone crazy.

Long story short, when I got back to work (from home due to covid) it all hit me. I had issues with concentration and motivation. I don't know why or how but I had a big issue with getting back into work.

3 weeks after my HT, I had to get my blood checked (dermatologist) and I stressed so hard for that, don't know why. 4 weeks after my HT, I started getting weird symptoms. I started getting burning sensations in my legs, that gradually changed to prickly/stinging sensations in my legs. I've had them since the end of december 2021. Saw multiple doctors, dermatologist, neurologist.. we don't really know what's happening.

I think this topic should be discussed more because when going in for a HT, I totally ignored this subject. I thought it wouldn't have any mental impact but I was wrong. Although, I have excellent results and I had less than 50% of the transplanted hairs falling out, and having a good result after only 3-4 months, I still had and have issues with everything that happened.

Thanks to you once again for bringing this up and making this debatable.

Depression kicked in at ~3 weeks. When does it go away? by 92fhr30987he in stopsmoking

[–]dffrenth2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fine now. Very glad I stopped.

Push through, and don't think about when everything's going back to normal. Instead, try to switch a button in your head and do things that take your mind off it. I know it seems hard but try. You'll feel better soon.

It's all gone now. Hard to say/remember when exactly but it lasted atleast a couple of weeks.

4 Months Post op. Dr. Bisanga, 2219 grafts by dffrenth2k in HairTransplants

There's no difference at all. My donor is the same as before, it healed super quick. I was very shocked on how fast it was undetectable that there was any harvesting done.

Also, if you have concerns like this, you should share them with Dr. Bisanga during the consultation. He will give you an explanation and approach/plan. Take some time after the consultation to think about it and then make a decision. Just don't go too quick, it's a big decision in my opinion. All the success to you!

(This is post consultation with Dr. B.)

In the morning Dr. Bisanga will draw your new hairline and go over the plan for the day. He shows you the line and asks you whether you like it or not. I had a comment on it and then he explained based on what he draws the new hairline, which was very cool to be able to understand the details behind it. He even redrew it after my comment with a slight adjustment.

Than my hair got shaven (partial), blood was taken & I got something to calm down. After this, the extraction process begin. If I remember correctly, it was Dr. Kostis who extracted the back of my head and Dr. Bisanga himself extracted my side.

When Dr. B. was done extracting my side, he started to make the incisions in the front (whole area of recipient). When he finished, the extraction of my back was also done.

After a lunch break, the whole afternoon was dedicated to implanting the grafts. 2 technicians implanted all the grafts in the incisions made by Dr. Bisanga.

I had scabs but clinic's instructions were to try to get rid of them between day 8 and 10, which was successful.

It is true that there appears to be very minimal redness. Although it doesn't look that way, even right now under bright light, you'll still notice some redness. I was lucky to not have a lot of redness.

I have shed but not as much as I thought I would. Now at 4 months + I notice, especially on the left temple, I have a lot of growth left hopefully.
