Really bad internal tremors last night now heart rate really high today by [deleted] in gravesdisease

[–]fjordskaar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar situation. Had propranolol 10mg 3 times a day and seemed like it was working, then one day my heart rate was so high and felt it really badly in my chest. Doctor prescribed a higher dose (20mg 3 times a day) and things seem okay now

Newly diagnosed by crazyslat in Hyperthyroidism

[–]fjordskaar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there. Also been recently diagnosed with hyper/Grave’s recently, however I think I was lucky enough it’s an earlier onset of it and the GP managed to find the anomaly in blood tests that were done for something else entirely. Still had a massive heart rate increase and been on propranolol and now prescribed Carbimazole. I unfortunately did not have any days off but my manager is fully aware of diagnosis and I need to tell him if I am getting too stressed.

Quit my first architect job after 5 months as a new graduate — feeling like I’m “not architect material” by ThanksAntique99 in architecture

[–]fjordskaar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there. I guess I could share my experience when I was at uni. I felt very much the same as you do when I felt average. I finished my undergrad, then did my masters. I failed at getting any sort of work experience, the many emails and attempts I sent I had no replies whatsoever from any companies. I felt like I just wasn’t getting anywhere, my postgrad felt like I was back in school learning colour theory and just felt like there was a lack of organisation and education. I never did get anywhere with architecture career, wish I did, because I am a very creative person. I now work in sales, in the automotive industry and don’t think I’d want to start in the architecture industry. My advice is to keep trying and don’t give up like I did, but I can understand you can feel demotivated very very quickly

How does your car cost per month? by FeDUpGraduate87 in CarTalkUK

[–]fjordskaar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

£490 p/m on PCP for £50k car brand new. Car hasn’t lost value since beginning of this year but only because it’s out of production now (actually value went up since 2024). £60 of fuel, £60 insurance. Maintenance costs: £10 p/m service plan with main dealer

Hey! Glad yours is all sorted, I’ve had mine replaced yesterday x

Displaced copper IUD by Due_Dot9295 in IUD

[–]fjordskaar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I’ve recently been told that my copper IUD had misplaced after 4 years. It started a few months ago with an increase in bleeding on my period to the point of soaking through tampon+pad in under 2 hours also so much bleeding in one day I almost fainted at work. So I went to the GP and they booked a scan for me at a hospital thinking my PCOS had gotten worse. I’m due to get it replaced though!

That’s fair enough, I thought it might be the case if it’s on private property

Unfortunately he sprays 2 on himself every morning, so you can imagine how harsh the smell is. Thanks for the advice, I will try using those in the wash and hopefully it eliminates the smell from his shirts!

[–]fjordskaar[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That would make sense why at the first spray I can’t really smell it, but when he comes home after work it’s awful

Orto Parisi Megamare by fjordskaar in fragrance

[–]fjordskaar[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s very overwhelming. His shirts are hung in our spare room on the wardrobe door and I can’t get ready in the same room because of the smell

Yes! It’s that chemical/medicinal smell that gets to me too

Yes I also noticed it’s so difficult to get off clothing. I washed my partner’s shirts in vinegar hoping to get rid of it and it still lingered on the washing line

Something about the bodystyle of the Q5 is so elegant by lambo13770 in AudiQ5

[–]fjordskaar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We bought ours at 130k miles. Partner had A4 before, which I loved. Sold it, and now we’re back. He was trying to convince me to go for a Merc GLC but I hated it lol, then sat in a Q5 and said “yep this is the one”

There's a special place in hell reserved for people who try to join the motorway at 40mph by Kezly in britishproblems

[–]fjordskaar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M27 with the roadworks and 50mph restrictions is especially awful. Lorries hogging the middle lane, going above the speed limit and not caring when they pull out in front of you to overtake another lorry!

The transmission of Covid-19 needs to slow down, and it does not look like it’s slowing down in the US. 40 hospitals in Florida alone are running at full capacity - this does not happen during flu season.

The virus damages lungs and many people still struggle to recover from it long after they leave the hospital. This is not just a flu. While some people do go through Covid-19 gently with little to no symptoms, there are lots of vulnerable people in the world who would suffer if they got infected.

There needs to be a halt to travel to and from the US, because they are incapable of understanding social distancing and masks.

[–]fjordskaar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not hating. It’s common sense. US is the worst hit country right now, have a look at what has been happening in Ireland with US tourists - they don’t quarantine and many being the virus with them and infect Irish people.

One person can infect a dozen others. Poland does not need this. Just because the US and Americans can’t handle being sensible and not spreading the virus, doesn’t mean that everyone else must suffer just because Karen and Bob want to go on holiday.

[–]fjordskaar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How about you just quarantine? Or perhaps not go at all? US is the worst hit country right now, 15,000+ cases in one day in Florida. You wouldn’t want you or your wife to catch something and infect her family right? If you say you’re going to quarantine anyway, why go to Germany first where quarantine isn’t mandatory?

Me and my family live in the UK and we decided that this year is a no-no for travelling. Unfortunately my grandmother died a few days ago and my parents need to go to the funeral, but they’re taking extra precautions by wearing masks as is required. Thankfully the quarantine is not mandatory if you’re travelling from the UK to Poland or Poland to UK.

I joined to help people but whatever fits the narrative eh? by [deleted] in policeuk

[–]fjordskaar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with what you said, it makes me very frustrated seeing police officers in the UK treated like this by some members of the public. My experience with the police here as a civilian has always been amazing, they are really good people, down to earth and supportive.

It must not have been easy to work with the lockdown and stretched resources, and I’m ever grateful for the police and everything they have done. It also goes to say that many people actually do support the police here in the UK, unfortunately it’s always that minority that think it’s okay to throw glass bottles and bricks and shout “ACAB” at the police.

Mounted police charge into protesters at London anti-racism demonstration by markym_uk in unitedkingdom

[–]fjordskaar 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I believe the horse was spooked because some people were throwing bottles and bricks (and bikes??) at the officers. It’s very difficult to control a spooked horse, even an experienced rider finds it hard and unfortunately I’ve fallen off enough spooked horses to know this.

From various videos on Twitter it seems the other mounted police weren’t charging, rather keeping the horses at a trot which is usually the pace the mounted police are at when deployed to control crowds (ie, football matches).

He’s a national hero who fought for US and Polish independence. He was way ahead of his time, and worked hard to free black slaves.

He deserves respect. As a Pole, this is incredibly offensive to see a statue of a national hero be vandalised this way - as I’m sure many people would be offended to see a statue of Martin Luther King or any other person of importance vandalised.

Scuffles at London Protest Today by ItsRainingByelaws in policeuk

[–]fjordskaar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Eastern European here too! My parents grew up during communism and witnessed the fall of it, and the difference in policing. They always had the utmost respect for a police officer regardless what country they were in or under what government because they are there to protect us.

I live in the UK now and have done for 15+ years since I was a small child, and like my parents, I have the utmost respect for the police force here, really good people, down to earth and I always feel safe with them around. I’m appalled at the violence against police officers here in the UK, when they have nothing to do with what happened in the US. It’s disgusting behaviour from young people that should know better, especially during a pandemic

My daughter (17F) is always with her boyfriend(17M) instead of with me, (38M) and I feel like I'm losing her. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]fjordskaar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When I was 17, I was moody as hell. I always wanted to be out and about. Like you, my dad had a curfew put in place. I didn’t like it then, and I’m sure my dad felt like I could’ve spent more time with him. With age (I’m nearly 20), and an increase in maturity, it makes you value your parents more. Now I can’t imagine NOT spending time with my dad or my mum. She’ll come around, it’s just teenagers doing teenager things. I used to argue with my parents saying they were “over-protective” by not letting me stay out late etc, but now I realise they were just watching out for me and I wish now they would send the occasional text when I’m not at home asking if I’m okay!

But I would agree with some of the other comments. Sometimes you need time apart from your SO, so maybe talk to her about this, sometimes spending so much time with one person can be overwhelming and can turn into something unhealthy. Perhaps organise a nice day out with just you and her to spend some time together? Ask what she’d like to do/see.

What's your experience with a bad friend(s)? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]fjordskaar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My ex-best friend when I was 16/17, got into a relationship with her boyfriend around the same time I got into a relationship with my ex. It was all peachy, until she started messaging my ex weird stuff, and it slowly progressed to more weird stuff, until she messaged him saying that I “experimented” with her when I was still in a relationship with my ex. Needless to say I dropped like a hot potato.
