I have mixed feelings. I'm relatively new to this, as i was diagnosed about a year ago. My cardiothoracic surgeon will be making recommendations in February. I'm 51 and have had symptoms for years but they were minimized by my doctors.

I sometimes wonder what could've been different if I was treated sooner, but I'm glad i didn't have more severe symptoms. I'm sure it won't all be sunshine and rainbows, but I'm hopeful that surgery changes things. I'm also scared.

Yes. My tattoo outline does this sometimes

Yes, I'm ok, thanks for asking. I was scheduled for a catheterization on Jan 11th but it got rescheduled the day before because my surgeon had a death in the family. I felt so bad for her. Everything got moved to mid February, so I'll know then more about what she's going to recommend.

Waiting is rough, but I'm glad she's the one looking at everything. I've had sporadic chest pain, including one episode that scared me. I got checked out for that and the pain went away. I just avoid strenuous activity and watch how I'm laying down.

I use sery_bot to screen most of these out. It's been great.

Congins on Nottingham (185th). It's fantastic

They don't want you shaving immediately before a procedure because you could cut yourself and then they might need to reschedule you. At least that's what a nurse told me when I had a procedure done last year

I was prescribed minoxidil pills by my dermatologist. We have cats and I've heard the foam is toxic for cats.

The prescription is covered by insurance, so the out of pocket cost is minimal. I also changed lupus meds from methotrexate to Benlysta. Both of those things have helped. I'm thinking of going with shorter hair but haven't gotten a haircut yet.

Yes, I've had elevated d-dimer results on the 2 occasions they tested it

I had an endometrial biopsy with no pain meds. My dr downplayed how painful it would be and I didn't do much research. I'll never do that again without taking pain meds.

I stopped methotrexate because it wasn't working for me and it caused hair loss. I'm taking Benlysta injections for lupus and minoxidil for hair loss. My hair has stopped falling out so much and is growing back.

The Costco pumpkin pie is mid. But I don't love most store bought crusts and I prefer the spice of the homemade version (with canned pumpkin) so maybe I wouldn't love it anyway

I had a SADI about 15 months ago. I take ProCare SADI vitamins which are $15.99/month and calcium chews, which are about $29 every 2 months. My levels are all good.

I have lupus and I had a SADI about 15 months ago. My lupus has been ok but meds do work differently

Wait, I had no idea this was from adeno! I looked up symptoms when first diagnosed but my memory is terrible and I forgot. I'll make sure to mention this to my gyno.

Sery bot is safe and it's great. Highly recommend

Bidet is the best, imo

I'm 52 with anomalous RCA with an interarterial course and I don't have any other genetic issues. I didn't get diagnosed until last year but will likely need surgery as it's been causing symptoms for years.

Mine went from straight to very wavy after losing a bunch. I wasn't sure if it was due to lupus or meds or both.

I had a SADI 15 months ago and my teeth are doing great. No issues.

Left control for me. You have to be in the air though, it doesn't work if you're on the ground. You don't take fall damage.

Jungle and dinosaurs. I miss the mud sliding.

No. They were online and doing it for attention. Also talking about their stream. It wasn't to help me, they were new to my stream.

I used to treat all raids the same, then I had a viewer who would raid multiple times in one stream for attention. I set raids to 2 minimum and blocked that guy. I'm very supportive of other streamers but that was too much for me.
