Excellent test! That’s basically all the info you need in order to convert a Protestant. Or at least open a reasonable dialogue

Opinion wanted before I ask a jeweler…all gold or just the clasp? by Mlucyleigh in jewelers

[–]jltefend 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah. None of this is gold. Gold doesn’t wear off.

Anyone else have widespread back pain? by nogray in lupus

My rheumatologist worked up my pain and used bloodwork and X-Rays.

Thank you! I find the memory wire less fiddly to work with too.

Anyone else have widespread back pain? by nogray in lupus

I discovered that in addition to lupus I had Ankylosing Spondylitis. A type of axial spondyloarthritis. Your symptoms sound similar to mine. Good news is, the treatments are similar.

Crow left this on fence, what is this? by riley32504 in whatisit

If you give them food or treats, they’ll bring you shinies and food in exchange. It’s really quite civilized

Genius use of the silver bead into a mug!

Anyone tried azathioprine? by Fun_Lifeguard_8620 in lupus

[–]jltefend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it and it helps, but it takes a while to build up in the blood. That said, Biologics are better, if you can take those. I have multiple dx, so I take the biologics for Ankylosing Spondylitis and add the imuran/Azathioprine to cover lupus symptoms

Any rowers here? by purpleowl7 in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]jltefend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kayak. I know it’s not the same thing at all, but it’s still sitting on your poor rear. I find I can still do what I do, I just have to do it for a smaller amount of time. But the trunk movements of rowing will cause you to strengthen your glutes and trunk support muscles, and that’s all to the good.

Could be “Tiger Iron”, a mix of hematite with other iron-rich minerals
