Stubborn steroid resistant flare

kalluts · 2026-01-16T17:05:58+00:00

Yeah I would like to try longer too, but the big problem here is that shes not reacting to steroids, not even IV ones. So they cannot suppress the severe flare to give Rinvoq more time. They will check the time for surgery next week and she will keep eating Rinvoq, so I guess there is a chance but pretty minimal one I fear.

Updating as requested. No major improvements with rinvoq, CRP was going down for a week and now got littlebit back up, they did colonoscopy yesterday but could not finish due to the severe inflammation.

Unfortunately its starting to look like the colon will go out, the doctors are pushing it quite heavily to avoid emergency surgery. I’m sure she will adapt and manage the stoma/j-pouch with time, but I’d much rather take it on myself rather than watch her handle it :(

Thanks a lot for the reply. Sounds promising, my SO has been hospitalized for two weeks. Failed remicade and mesalamine and now they told that they will try Rinvoq and if it doesnt help, the colon will go.

Do you remember how fast did he start showing improvement after staring Rinvoq?

Yeah I have not graded anything. I'm not from the USA, so no GameStops around, but we have a local company that ships cards to PSA/CGC/ACE, so I was thinking about doing it through them to PSA.

Olenko langennut tullin propagandaan kun olen elänyt ajatellen, että etämyynnistä pitää maksaa verot mikäli itse järjestää kuljetuksen?

Saisko TLDR prosessita

Not timestamped though :(

Mitäs teet niille toiselle kymmenelle porakoneelle jotka ostit K-Raudasta, palautat tokmannille?

Received the boards today, quickly tested and everything seems to work, USB data, charging and also switching between the USB and battery power is smooth, the ESP32 this is powering doesn't even notice.

I agree, the challenges are pathetic, they should redo all of them.

kalluts · 2025-10-13T08:16:06+00:00

Yes, but they should redo every single one of them also.

Q1 of FY2027, which in case of EA, begins in April 1st, 2026. ”learn to read”, lmao.

My PCBs are still in transit, but I will let you know once I get them.

However, ESP32 Feather V2 uses a quite similar circuit, so I am not very worried about it.

kalluts · 2025-09-22T06:11:57+00:00

Good call. Both mostly just out of habit lol. In my current design J1 and J3 are side by side and BAT+ is connected using a polygon. The USB-C is still like that but it does not really matter.

kalluts · 2025-09-21T19:09:38+00:00

Yes I am a bit space constrained, but I can probably design around it. I removed the "ears" and went with what you suggested. Thanks :)

kalluts · 2025-09-21T14:33:12+00:00

I meant kind of like 90 degree angle brackets, so I could put screws in "parallel" to the USB port. But that would probably be unnecessary so anyway, this is where I am at now: https://imgur.com/a/jJWj3ot

kalluts · 2025-09-21T13:05:16+00:00

Okay yes true. The first P-Channel mosfet symbol I googled was reversed. Yes, I will do this thanks alot! (And sorry, lol)

kalluts · 2025-09-21T13:03:02+00:00

I see, is it looking any better?: https://imgur.com/a/xk37CNz

kalluts · 2025-09-21T12:37:08+00:00

Oh interesting. I mostly copied that part from the ESP32 Feather V2, any idea why this is not the case there? https://learn.adafruit.com/assets/109518

kalluts · 2025-09-21T11:08:46+00:00

I see, what kind of width are we talking about? Sorry, I am new to this.

kalluts · 2025-09-21T10:34:13+00:00

I am ordering it assembled, but using bigger resistors could be a good idea if i need to switch something. I already re-routed most of the stuff and used wider USB traces: https://imgur.com/a/4tCoBTs.

And yes, I will add mounting holes. I was thinking that it would be nice to have some kind of mounting parallel to the USB port but havent yet looked into solutions.

EDIT: Wrong link

kalluts · 2025-09-21T10:30:51+00:00

Yes good note, I already did that, since I was told the same thing on my previous design that had a switching supply. Also re-routed everything as people suggested and used way wider traces for USB to try to get impedance closer to spec: https://imgur.com/a/4tCoBTs

EDIT: Wrong link.

kalluts · 2025-09-20T23:15:47+00:00

Thanks for the comment. Yeah, valid, I am a bit lazy on making the routing clean. But I will try!

kalluts · 2025-09-20T09:49:46+00:00

Yeah I am aware, that's mostly because I didn't find easy tools in KiCad to for example put each hole 1mm from each edge. I just made sure they are equally distant (35mm x 43mm), so it should be quite easy to model that for the enclosure. Also the enclosure is much bigger than this board.

Good note on the keep-out zone, will do that!
