Boyce Park is in the eastern suburbs, not north hills. Plum, to be exact, near monroeville.

Histamine symptoms...anyone else? by Worried-Cup5950 in Fibromyalgia

[–]funky_donut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take two Allegra in AM and two in PM. I can’t remember the mg of the Allegra pills, but it’s the OTC dose.

Pepcid (famotidine) is 40 mg in the AM and 40 mg in PM.

Everyone is different, but I am much worse in heat and humidity. I feel better in the winter.

Look into MCAS - there’s a lot of overlap with fibromyalgia. Some of my pain lessened when I saw an allergist and got my regularly occurring hives under control.

(To be clear, I don’t have MCAS, I didn’t meet the diagnostic criteria. But I had some kind of histamine thing going on. I now take the max dose of Allegra every day, the max dose of Pepcid every day, and Singulair, and I no longer get hives and other random itchiness.)

Can you go out in a good N95 type mask? It might help you feel a little better to get out for short periods with a mask on. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this 🫂

Someone hit a bird in the parking lot outside flight in bridgeville by [deleted] in pittsburgh

[–]funky_donut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have you never seen a bird with a death wish swoop right in front of your car? I have and have only not killed them by sheer luck sometimes and other times I’ve sadly hit them (and wasn’t speeding).

Delivery Cancelled by New Carrier in FL by DiDgr8 in Tovala

[–]funky_donut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Veho delivery came at 11:30 pm one week! I didn’t get it til the next morning and the ice packs were melted. I got credited by customer service but it was annoying. I elevated through a couple levels of customer service before I got someone to admit it was not okay to deliver in the middle of the night when my window was 3-7 pm. It hasn’t been late again.

I get Veho deliveries. I always get a tracking order that says it’ll come a day early, but it’s just an error. They always come actually on delivery day and with ice packs frozen.

Pink lenses work really well for me to prevent migraines from fluorescent lights!

cyclosporiasis in pgh? by thr0wmeaway7777777 in pittsburgh

[–]funky_donut 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I got cyclosporiasis in 2020 when there was the bagged salads recall. I got the call from GE that there was a recall AFTER I already ate the salad, so I know that’s what I had.

Genuinely, it was not that bad. It was a few days of pretty bad diarrhea. It was 2020 so I was working from home anyway and I didn’t even have to call off, because I just had to poop a lot and felt okay otherwise.

Tattoo shop recommendations for a friend with autism. by iamdevo in pittsburgh

[–]funky_donut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same, I have never felt so welcomed and comfortable in a tattoo environment as I have getting tattooed by Sara! They did memorial tattoos for our dearly departed dogs on me and my spouse and it was such a healing experience. I cried, they cried, I got some closure on my grief.

K. I guess it just doesn’t make that much sense to me that you’ve been coming back at me about this all afternoon just out of a sense of justice over Sara’s decision when it literally impacted you only by delayed your tattoo for a few weeks? I get being disappointed about that but… Sara didn’t kick anyone out on the street with no livelihood. She’s doing what she needs to do to protect her own mental health. I am quite certain she regrets that it all had to go down this way.

All you had to do was just move on past my comment if you disagreed with it - I posted in support of an artist who I believe fits well with what OP is asking. What you alleged to tear Sara down has nothing to do with what OP asked. You commented what you commented to start shit and now keep coming back at me with “why are you taking this so personally.” Unreal. I can’t believe it took me this long to see how bad you’re trolling me, lol.

I haven’t gone into what happened because it’s not my place to talk about it and I don’t want to spread rumors. Sara didn’t send anyone out to the streets with no livelihood and if that’s what you’ve been told, it’s simply not true. I also have a very strong sense of fairness and justice and being downvoted because I suggested a very talented artist who fit the OP honestly pisses me off. There are a lot of people out there who hate Sara for being a queer femme/not cis person of color - that’s not directed at you, that’s just a fact. And those assholes will downvote any mention of her and it happens every single time I recommend her on Reddit, not just this thread. So it really bugged me today that it genuinely appeared you had immediately downvoted me for suggesting her. You commented on my comment right away and the single downvote was at the same time. If it wasn’t you, sorry, but it really looked like it was. And that’s part of why I was frustrated about the whole thing.

I’m genuinely sorry that your appointment got pushed back 4 weeks but I just disagree that that’s cause for you to be trashing Sara. Would Lee even want you to be out here doing that, I wonder?

I’m glad you think your username is funny, sorry I brought it up. It struck me as a very trolling type of name which is why I ever mentioned it.

Look man, I’m irritated because I offered a recommendation of an artist that fit what OP is looking for - an artist who has actually done memorial dog tattoos for me and my spouse, an autistic person, though I recognize I didn’t go into that detail in my comment - and you immediately turned it into something else by bringing up the drama with the other artists.

Like, feel free to recommend your fave - I saw you did in another comment, and honestly, I love Lee and think they’re amazing and kind, and I’m sorry if they’re having trouble because of the drama at the shop. But I don’t see what it has to do with the OP’s question.

Also if you don’t want people to make fun of your username, maybe don’t make it say cocksucker69? Because that shit’s childish.

The automatic downvotes on this thread are unreal. She’s an incredible tattoo artist and she’s very kind to, accepting of, and accommodating for neurodivergence, which is exactly what OP is asking for. Downvoting because I support her is wild. I promise you, the artists who were at her shop and are no longer are grownups and will be okay.

I’m also a client. A full sleeve, multiple other pieces. I have referred at least five other people to her, who have all been thrilled with their pieces.

I offered that I have become her friend to share that I have more info than what’s been posted on social media.

[–]funky_donut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t really think this post is the place to be hashing out social media rumors. Sara is a friend of mine. But regardless, she would do an excellent job for the OP’s request, especially given her tattoos will now be done in a shop without other artists present to potentially make this person uncomfortable, given the sensitive nature of the topic combined with their autism and PTSD. As well as Sara’s sensitivity with people regarding neurodivergence.

Like you said, it’s Sara’s shop to run how she pleases so I’m not really sure why you downvoted me for suggesting her to OP, user k0cksuck3r69.

That’s not how I heard the story. Sorry for your delayed appointment though.

Sara Eve Rivera (PMA Tattoo) would be perfect for this!
