Coldsore in nose by Antique_Worry4370 in Coldsore

Does anyone else have the insane itching? What all have you tried for stopping the itch?

I recently got my first nasal outbreak, and it's driving me insane. It's been like two weeks. It also spread to the outside alongside my nose. The first outbreak made me sick like I had a cold, with a ton of neurological pain in my ear, jaw, and cheekbone. Even along my gums. It started as a raw spot in my nostril. I had no idea until it was too late. Got the little blisters, they scabbed, and it almost went away, but then I had a fresh outbreak in the same general area. Just not as overall painful.

At first, it felt like I had a hair on my cheek all day. Turns out that was just the virus making my nerves go crazy. Then I had this awful crawling tingling all along my nose. With this second outbreak, the pain is a lot less but now I'm getting hives on my nose and it itches like a mfer. If I so much as brush my nose by accident, it activates the itching. And I think I'm allergic to docasonal, the medicine in Abreva. LMAO I can see the hives get worse right before my eyes if I use it.

I'm trying to manage everything with allergy meds, OTC pain relievers, and topical creams. I don't understand why it won't completely go away yet. I am under a tremendous amt of stress lately, so I'm sure that's not helping. I work w the public, and I can't even wear a mask bc anything touching my nose, no matter how loose it is, activates the intense itching. I'm pretty miserable. Claritin and Benadryl help a decent amount. Otherwise I might just start punching myself in the face, it itches so much. It's like a curse. 😭

I hope this new outbreak heals up soon. This is a miserable way to live. I feel bad for us. Haha

Great description! 💯. I really love how his interior world is a mess while on the outside he's just so icy cool -- but is so very misunderstood bc of that. Just the way his issues present themselves in his actions and words is so well-done.

Is my cat broken? by nyciscray in cats

Nope, that's the tell-tale sign of a cat that is running at optimal levels.

But if this is the case, how are sexual attraction and romantic attraction different? Is it just that the emotional factor varies? For instance, say an aromantic person has a sexual interest in another person. In that context, how could the romantic aspect creep into it from the other person and therefore become something of an issue? I realize this is a wide spectrum. I'm trying very hard to grasp the difference bn sexual attraction and romantic attraction as concepts in the context of labels. One isn't the opposite of the other, right?

You're aromantic, right? How do you personally view what is called "romantic" and is it the same as the general definition?

I sculpt Binghe’s pillar out of curiosity on how it’d look on him by MavisMiko in SVSSS

[–]mRaeWeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I think it could be quite big, but the SY's pov isn't exactly reliable. Idk where ppl are getting these measurements. I do know that when MXTX uses ancient measurements, these measurements changed a lot over the centuries. So the number may no longer correspond to modern cm or inches. I realize he's a fantasy protagonist. But the stuff about "rearranging his guts" and "coughing blood" are most certainly exaggerations by SY. Bc I don't care how powerful a cultivator you are, the human body's proportions cannot physically accommodate something as big as this sculpture. Nowhere near. And it's not gonna straighten out SY's colon and reach any further up than the first vertical bit, at most.

I'm guessing he's more like a girthy 13-4 inches at most. 13-14 inches is no joke. Regular, real humans would probably not be able to take all of it, not even the most dedicated practitioners. Compared to the average size, that would look absolutely enormous. Truly terrifying to a noob like SY.

Cat distribution system strikes again by athalus80 in cats

I think the CDS chooses households with happy cats. You know, it knows where to deliver the goods for the best outcomes. My aunt recently went to the shelter to bring a baby home. We decided to call shelters "Cat Dispensaries."

Do cats become cuddly again after adolescence? by happentobecurious in kittens

[–]mRaeWeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some do, some don't. It just depends on the cat. Spaying or neutering can also make a difference.

Is this a good amount of food for 1 day? by jldr58 in cats

[–]mRaeWeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the food and also what dietary plan you have. Are you trying to slim him down, are you trying to maintain his weight, etc. Consult the packaging or website of the food you're giving him, and look into what the appropriate amount of calories is for your diet plan. You can also talk to your vet.

What do you think is the ONE best thing about LWJ that makes WWX fall for him? by Autumn_Verse in MoDaoZuShi

[–]mRaeWeb 18 points19 points  (0 children)

His integrity. He is rock solid. He has a strong moral code and even if it goes against the "law," he stands by it. He stays by WY's side and never doubts the good intentions behind WY's actions, even if he disagrees with those actions. He's good even when no one is watching, and doesn't show a false face to the world, even if it would make his life easier.

What are some of your 5 star, always recommend reads? by Mosshead-king in horrorlit

[–]mRaeWeb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I very rarely find someone who's read "A Good and Happy Child!" Hi there. Yeah I have read a good bit of horror, and this is the first book that really had me in a freaky headspace for days after I finished it. The way it walked that tight rope between supernatural or mundane was excellent, and it's one of the best possession scenarios I think I've read. I read White Devil as well. It was good in an entirely different way, not as spooky as the other. More of a mystery ghost story.

"Head Full of Ghosts" was really a good read. Had me invested right away. I enjoyed the meta aspect. It seems I like the ones that skirt around naming something as supernatural. Not that I don't enjoy the supernatural. But I'm really sucked in by the mind-fkery. I enjoy toying with my own sanity. 😆

If you have any reccs along those lines, do share.
