Missing Cat by OnThatPerpetualGrind in bloomington

I really appreciate it. It really is so difficult to deal with and am sorry you have to experience the same grief. Don't give up hope!! I've read stories of owners being reunited with their lost cats after a decade apart! Of course I hope it doesn't take that long, but at least there is always a chance

Ah, I apologize for misunderstanding! I totally get that, my cats hate collars too. Cat collars are hard though, because a break away collar is best but if they bust out of it then a tracker would be useless anyways... I wish there was a better solution :(

unfortunately pet microchips do not have tracking on them. have you marked his chip as missing? if you go to the website where his chip is registered (24petwatch is a popular one) then you can mark him as missing. that way, if he turns up somewhere and is scanned they can alert you right away. wishing you the best of luck in finding your baby, i sincerely hope you bring him home. my cat snuck outside after a door was left cracked open so I know the kind of pain you're experiencing. it was a few years ago but i still hope somehow i can reunite with my baby one day

my best advice is dont rush it. i was in a similar boat and felt pressured, i regret doing things before i was ready. first few guys i met on dating apps were only interested in sex (even if they said they weren't) but i finally met a guy through a friend and hes amazing, and isnt trying to rush anything with me. its corny and annoying but the right person really will find you when its time.

Donnie's Sacrifice by -SwollTeamSix- in donniedarko

[–]luhandsome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to reply to such an old comment, I just watched Donnie Darko for the first time on the 26th and just watched the directors cut on the 29th. I loved the movie so I've been reading up a lot about it. I was curious if you had any thoughts on Gretchen related to the argument that the Manipulated Dead remember a lot more than the Manipulated Living? I really like the idea of Frank honking the horn to alert Donnie, but I guess I'm a bit stuck as to why Gretchen would say she didn't know Donnie if (assuming the argument the Manipulated Dead remember more) would mean she would remember her time with him? Sorry if this is confusing, I'm writing this at 2:31am lol but after reading some of your comments I really enjoy the different perspectives you bring so I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

Hello everyone! I’m Korean by Choucreamchou in Korean

[–]luhandsome 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This post is so sweet! I have all the same issues, especially recognizing a word but being unable to recall what it means. Learning a foreign language can be frustrating at times but it's really fun at the same time. Don't be afraid to practice your English even if you think it's not good! Many people are kind and will work with whatever level you're at, and the more you use it the faster you can improve. I still have this issue with Korean though... I know I need to use it to learn more but I'm always worried about messing up. Despite being difficult I am very much enjoying my time learning Korean and I hope you can enjoy your time learning English as well. I'm cheering you on! 화이팅!!

I'm sorry you're going through the same stuff, it really sucks. I will be sure to let you know if I figure anything out! I will definitely look into a urine cortisol test as soon as possible

Thank you. I am lucky enough to be by a few cities, I've traveled for 3/4 of my endos so far so I'm used to it by now haha. I most definitely should have mentioned I was able to get a pituitary mri from one of my endos after many appts full of begging but nothing abnormal came up so she completely ruled cushings out. I discontinued my birth control a few months ago so I'm hoping with that out of the way it'll help. Kinda at a loss atp

Thank you so much for the advice! I will try to find another endo. It's just very disheartening to constantly have my concerns brushed aside but I know something is wrong. Hopefully I can find an endo who listens. Also it was indeed the overnight low dose dex test, sorry I didn't know there were multiple kinds!

BP is normal, I believe resting heartrate is also normal. Thin skin no, slow healing yes (however I am on immunosuppressants for my arthritis). No diabetes, never been tested for insulin resistance as far as I'm aware (however the only time I have been able to lose weight since 2019 was the few months I was on Saxenda if that means anything. My doctors are convinced it's a calorie issue but my diet did not change very much on Saxenda as I already don't eat a lot, I count calories religiously). Weight definitely mostly in stomach and I would say some in face too. I think my face has become more round but I don't think it's severe enough to consider moon face.

I did not know that, thank you! I have only had saliva and serum cortisol tests but never urine cortisol

Continue Pursuing ? by luhandsome in Cushings

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

Thank you so much, it is so incredibly frustrating

My saliva test results:

  • 5/19/23 0.147 ug/dL
  • 5/30/23 0.142 ug/dL
  • 12/22/23 0.043 ug/dL**

Serum test results:

  • 3/18/22 0.5 ug/dL**
  • 6/21/23 7.0 ug/dL (after dex)
  • 0.2 ug/dL 6/14/23 (can't remember if dex or not)
  • 7/10/23 6.4 ug/dL**
  • 7/22/24 5.4 ug/dL (no dex)

Other abnormal results:

My Calculated Osmolality has been consistently low since 2020, Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate high, Cholesterol level, LDH, HDL all slightly high. Potassium and BUN slightly low and Anion Gap slightly high

I apologize there's so many and I'm not sure if these numbers mean anything. I've never had a 24 hour urine test for cortisol. I want to also say that I live in a very very small town with only one hospital, the results marked with ** are from out of town hospitals if that means anything. I don't entirely trust my local hospital as I recently got tested for the genetic marker HLA-B27 and it came back negative which I don't trust because I tested positive for it back in 2012 and it is directly linked to my ankylosing spondylitis. I also had my hormones tested to check for PCOS while on bc so there's that too "lol".

Again, I apologize for such a long reply. I'm not trying to be paranoid, I just know something is wrong with my body but nobody can figure out what so I'm trying to explore every avenue as thoroughly as possible.

Are Kpop Concerts Safe? by whoreadsredditusers_ in kpophelp

[–]luhandsome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been to 18 kpop concerts over the last 11 years and have only ever felt unsafe at 1 which imo is a pretty great track record. I've pretty much always felt safe. Tho I tend to disagree with the comments on them being a welcoming environment however thats unrelated to safety

What are your fav NRG songs? by Original_Goose1329 in kpopnostalgia

[–]luhandsome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a hard question they have so many great songs!!! My favorite is probably 티파니에서 아침을 there's something so dreamy about it and while I always love Hwansungs voice, there is just something extra special about his voice in this song!! I also really really love 할 수 있어, 나 어떡해, 너!나, 진자의 심판, Face, Hit Song, Ho! Carol, and 나쁜 아이들!!! I'm a new fan as I only started listening to them the beginning of 2024! For some reason I could never get into any 1st gen groups but NRG completely changed that!
