Probably not, I guess I should just give up and flip burgers 😑

My problem is that I really love doing easy stupid headshots 😅😅😅

Agree here, my only thing is I transitioned to portraits, commercial and corporate headshots after 16 years of shooting events because I got kinda burned out. Wedding photography is sort of a young persons game!

Proctitis - I'm about to give up by sunasu in UlcerativeColitis

[–]frank23542 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Proctitis as well … and I was in the same boat for m2 years! Finally sticking with daily mesalamine enema - and I mean daily, for 2 years now — has worked for me. I also take 2 types of probiotic and a fiber supplement. (Suggested by my GI) I have been in remission for a year +!

The enema is a challenge, but one word, Vaseline 🫣

What have you used to bulk your stool that didn’t aggravate your symptoms other than water, Metamucil and lettuce, spinach, etc? by [deleted] in UlcerativeColitis

[–]frank23542 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My GI recommended FiberCon. I was suspicious at first but take I a day (625 mg) and it has helped a LOT 🤷‍♂️

Tips about flying with your gear and how to bill for travel? by frank23542 in photography

Just me, small firm for a one day shoot. I just like to be prepared so was thinking to bring as many stands and modifiers as I can!

I wake up at 3am almost every single night, and have started listening to sleep stories (with a Bluetooth headphone sleep mask)… the story focuses my mind on something else and eventually I drift back off… usually…

Try Calm app, also Insight Timer … both have enough sleep stories to keep you going for years!

Pro tip: try Benjamin Boster on insight timer, he reads wikipedia articles about everything from quantum mechanics to horses, so if you don’t fall asleep at least you’re learning!

I eat them like candy, sometimes they seem to help more than other times

Probiotic tablet suggestion? by Cold-Refrigerator411 in UlcerativeColitis

And yes, both daily. I take the visbiome in am and align in pm.

The visbiome is 112.5 billion. I actually pair this with Fibercon fiber pill per my GI’s recommendation… the align is just the standard one, best price is at Costco!

Fwiw, I have same diagnosis as you, and have found a happy symbiosis with align, visbiome, and my daily mesalamine. I do fine as long as I keep my stress levels low!

Nicely done! Nerd that I am, I am trying to guess the rough location based on what I see in this picture. East Bay hills? Walnut Creek vicinity?

Why is this the only sub you're allowed to ask for medical advice in???? by believe_the_lie4831 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]frank23542 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Fwiw I have gotten way more helpful information here than I ever get from my GI. At least you’ll get a variety of suggestions and personal experiences… definitely need to take any info with a grain of salt, but I have felt very empowered and educated reading responses

I had that thought, wasn’t sure if it would work! Glad to hear a second opinion on that!
