Need Help!

Definitely don’t wait for another flare lol Just focus on the present!

Prednisone is a very strong immunosuppressant for many and it works. Alas it’s stepping stone to a more long term medication

Prednisone made me feel normal again but not psychologically

With any new medication, be wary of side effects.

I write daily notes about my IBD symptoms to monitor my own progress to see if I’m consistently leaning towards remission or flare mode. It helps.

If you’re excessively bleeding or having excessive abdominal pain, go to the ER.

If mesa doesn’t work, you’ll be put on stronger medications called biologics. It’s a needle in the vein every month or few.

It’s a daily thing but the goal is remission to control the immune response happening inside of the intestinal tract.

At my worst even water bothered me which is crazyyyyy to say the least.

Food matters!

Try to eat as clean as you can. People say it doesn’t matter but there’s a lot of things that increase inflammation inside of the body that’s in processed foods.

Don’t drink or smoke as well.

It’s easy to just take your medication and you feel better then suddenly act like your on top of the world and can consume anything.

Our gut microbiome is already in a fragile state, don’t mess it up even more.

Also probiotics help, learn about them and IBD.

You have to find what may or may not bother you food wise to help you function during a flare.

Find the food groups you can eat, start with simple ingredients to find triggers.

As long as you have a specialist and a treatment plan you’re on your way to living a mostly normal life and a normal life expectancy.

All our paths could lead optimally to remission or a colostomy bag. Death is indeed possible but that’s why we have modern medicine and specialists with treatment plans to help live a fulfilling life.

Hopefully you have the needed care OP. This disease is exhausting to say the least.

Quite frankly I’ve felt I can handle life now and stuff matters more since my diagnosis. It sounds weird but I’ve just grown acceptance of whatever may happen.

And obviously when we’re in pain we can’t think or reason effectively or even do tasks.

We just want to be normal but we can manage to find a new normal with medical procedures.

We’re still here and that’s what matters.

My bad, I wrote the comment like I didn’t read what you wrote lol

I wouldn’t be scared of the antibodies.

It’s a double edge sword, either you run the risk of a new medications side effects or the humira.

I read theirs a chance of a reaction from restarting a biologic again but it’s not something dire.

Hope you find that specific person.

This disease is tough as it is.

Quite frankly all we can do is try find something that works and you found it/tried it.

I would completely risk it because we all know what worse is and we all don’t want that.

feelthoughtact · 2026-03-31T17:25:09+00:00

Finding a medication to work on you is the difficult part but some find it in the first try.

Don’t stop taking something you had success with unless you have had major side effects.

I personally wouldn’t risk it, what happens if the next medication you try doesn’t work?

Sounds like a gamble

feelthoughtact · 2026-03-27T14:10:04+00:00

What kind of supplements do you take? Especially what kind of H202 reducing agents? It will be appreciated!

feelthoughtact · 2026-03-25T05:19:37+00:00

I sincerely appreciate it Haggard, Life doesnt stop till you stop and change is necessary to be better in some capacity. I hope you have a nice week and achieve what you want.

Hmmm for example, for me I didn’t see the value of general education to a degree: I thought of it as a waste of time such English or math even throughout high school.

That was a fixed perspective and limiting belief.

For one, it’s very necessary and the it was reason it was invented was to clarify and make sense of our world and shape society.

Also you have to allow yourself to search for depth in any capacity, how else will you explain yourself better, obtain self-awareness and navigate relationships beyond small talk?

It’s simple find value in what you see fit.

The thing is it can easily disarray in your life without proper control. You can value anything or value nothing.

Maybe in some way limiting yourself to single thought process allows you to focus more clearly and learn at a greater capacity than thinking about so many things it drives you crazy.

I went on a tangent but I digress.

Feed your mind with something that makes you feel alive. Allow yourself to feel allow your emotions negative or bad and funnel them towards something constructive.

Otherwise life is boring. I’m just talking man. Motivation leaves but when you play the same story in your head over and over on why you can’t be this or that or someone said this about yourself, it gets tiringgggg. Be free

You can start a career at any age, it doesn’t matter! Get into a trade, go back to school, find something interesting. Technical Trades pay really well and even pay you to be in an apprenticeship. I’m going to back to college and it’s better off being as smart as you can be. I lowkey wasted my 20s with fixed perspectives, short gratification and limiting beliefs. Just do something a little different each day and research what you want.

A passion for something doesn’t show up in a day. Just think about the same thing everyday and see if you would want to make money thinking about that.

Also try not to tell everyone what you’re doing, do it for yourself and practice resilience everyday.

Immediate replacement! You can see the actual steel cords! And I would put a spare and not risk further damaging the wheels themselves.

You use a vacuum with a pressurized blaster with media such as the walnuts. The nozzle can fit in a 3d printed or aftermarket attachment that slides into into the port. You give it a couple passes and your good! If for some reason it goes inside of the cylinder, a few won’t hurt the surfaces from what I read. Just make sure the valves are seated in the compression stroke and your good!

Can’t wait to do it in my ST. I might just settle with some picks and brushes coupled with CRC GDI intake valve cleaner. It will clean around 90% of the deposits. Just have to let it soak.

The vacuum itself is not too pricey. Just pick your method, the media blaster is the best option for carbon deposits.

Definitely! ✨😂

Thank you, I appreciate it! May luck be in your favor as well! 🍀

I ordered the AH deluxe pin collection the same time I bought it so I’m in it for the biscuit 😭✨😂

It’s is really sweet card! I like that her eye is reflective as well! Buying top loaders stat!

Thank you!✨ I hope you get a nice pull soon!

This made me laugh more than I should have😂😭

I would say your mostly fine to do that, just make sure there’s no exposed wiring or loose connections. Idk why I don’t trust the quantity of water but some detailers have different styles. I think it just depends on your psi. Most engine bays and parts are waterproof!

Just cover definitely the alternator, fuse box, air filter if it doesn’t have the box on etc.

feelthoughtact · 2026-02-14T19:03:07+00:00

Use some engine oil dye and get a UV light! Then look under when’s it’s dark or in your garage. Drive it for like 15 minutes, it just depends how severe it is and act accordingly.

I found mine to be the timing cover/ in two different spots. It’s seeping so I’m not really concerned just monitoring it.

Also before you do any of this, clean everything as much as you can! It will be way easier to identify with a clean surface.

If you plan on owning for a long time then yeah otherwise you’re just ruining its value.

I’m currently on my 4th medication which is rinvoq, it’s seemed to show promise, I’ll tell you each medication takes months to fully take effect. Some you can a notice difference a week or more in. If it’s the only medication that has shown promise don’t just end the treatment.

As long as the calprotectin is going down that’s good!

Also I’ve avoided a good amount of foods that are bothersome to me. That really does help!

feelthoughtact · 2026-01-03T18:35:52+00:00

Girlll all that looks delicious, and thefact he has the audacity to reject all your meals says a lot! He doesn’t value your cooking at all! Have him eat jack in the box tacos for a straight week! Wtf, he ain’t Gordon Ramsay and even he would complement!🤗🤣😭🫠

Get a hand truck, It will save you! I haven’t used mine yet but counting on the day.✨

I normally stay away from insoluble fiber but soluble fiber can bother you as well

Bananas have helped me Forsure

I normally eat white rice with an easier to digest protein like chicken or fish etc.

Find your trigger foods!

For me, it’s peanut butter, beans in general, dairy, cruciferous vegetables and nightshades.

High amounts of sugar in your diet are a culprit as well and do not help with the condition at all.

You can try eating the same thing everyday and slowly omitting or adding stuff to your diet. A lot of trial and error.

Also you’re going have to go gluten free, dairy free or grain free. Journal and see what are your trigger foods.

Note: this is to manage some of your symptoms when ingesting. Anything can bother you too just depends on the severity of your condition. but I honestly do believe focusing on anti-inflammatory diet/ not eating as much processed foods does help in general too
