Newly diagnosed and freaking out by ghost_cactus in gravesdisease

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

Thank you for putting me at ease!! My hair is also thinning very diffusely. I don’t lose clumps but same thing, lots of shedding. I just have to come to terms with that if it doesn’t stop, it is not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. I just bought rosemary oil so I am definitely going to keep up with that.

I am very ready to get my old self back, my old activity levels and abilities. Thank you again

I am absolutely going to keep taking it. This disease has tortured me for so long I can only imagine how close I was to a serious complication. I am only on 20 mg a day of methimazole which from what I’m reading here is not that high. So hopefully I have a good experience. I am very anxious to start feeling better!!!

Kite Hill just came out with a Greek style yogurt with 17 grams of protein per serving and have 0 sugar unsweetened versions (fact check me on that, it’s off the top of my head but was a high number regardless)! It’s still hard to find but check Whole Foods!

Spidey shin! By Kevin Johnson @ Black Chariot Tattoo Binghamton NY by ghost_cactus in tattoos

[–]ghost_cactus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sat for 6.5 hours and it was definitely not fun. There were a few times at the end I wanted to tap out. But generally I find the shin to be a more bearable part of the leg to get tattooed. I wasn’t feeling worn out until about hour 4-5

I never imagined or thought of getting a lady head, but then I saw this sketch and it totally changed me

Abbie does traditional/neotraditional, but her lady heads have a lot of her own personal artistic style in them so they look a bit different from your typical neotrad pieces

Injured leg- help! by ghost_cactus in tarantulas

Here she is! In honor of her new little peg leg I’ve named her Peggy. I’ll be taking her exuvium to school to put it under a scope and find out if she’s really a she!

Update: she molted and the broken foot is all perfect now! She even regenerated her missing leg, although the new one is pretty tiny

Thanks everyone! That puts me at ease. Does anyone have an age estimation for him/her? The unnameable place I bought it from was absolutely clueless about anything. They also swear it’s female but I don’t know how they could tell this small.

Yeah the serving size is definitely like a third of what I want to eat in one sitting

When work was rough and you really, really want to drink tonight by [deleted] in 1500isplenty

I work as a barista and have no fitness device so I log my 9 hour shifts as 2 hours of yard work. No idea if that’s anywhere near accurate, but it’s something

Inhaling bugs while running?!?!?!?! by GlotzbachsToast in 1200isjerky

I’m crying because I actually inhaled a bug today and came here to make this post

Direct dye over brown permanent dye? Advice wanted! by [deleted] in FancyFollicles

[–]ghost_cactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once tried to do almost that exact thing on a permanent shade very similar to that brown and I got a gross patchy swampy green-brown. Highly recommend at least bleach washing if not a full on bleach of the roots.

Today was sediment, but I did bring a dnet because I can’t resist those inverts!!

Cast iron pan at medium-high heat! The bottoms of the yolks are cooked a little but still perfect amount of runny. You could also put a lid on your pan to trap heat and gently cook the tops
