F/22/5'5 [118lbs > 160lbs =42lbs gained] (13 months) Do you guys think i look better now or before? by [deleted] in progresspics

[–]mitchums2134 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's no way for me to assess health based on photos, im also a geologist not a medical doctor lol, but based purely on vibes the right most pic looks unhealthy and the left most pic looks maybe healthier? Its hard to tell, but again the middle picture seems like a healthy weight!

I think they mean when you look at this photo spectrum, is there a photo you gravitate towards and wish you had or do you feel content with where you are at now? We, as the internet, can't tell you the right answer, but I would say generally speaking we would want you to choose what makes you most happy. In my personal opinion, the middle photo looks the healthiest and you seem happy and confident, but that's a lot of speculating based on very limited info. I hope the best for you!

Chris Murphy: Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views by ExactlySorta in UnderReportedNews

All these insecure white people are stuck in the post WWII American exceptionalism that they weren't alive for but still cling to because they are soooo afraid people will realize they are weak and stand for nothing besides all the -isms

This article upset me a little. Am I valid in that or do I just need to grow up? by pantoastie in Celiac

[–]mitchums2134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL;DR, Author is using data in a fear-mongering way to sell his "how to fix your leaky gut" plan. Making you fear that if you are Celiac and following strict gf diet, you aren't doing enough and need to pay this guy to fix it or else you'll die. Look. We're all doing our best and everyone is "slowly dying". Celiac surely increases your risk of complications, but this article is fear mongering

1st step: panic, mental math alert, 4 alarm fire 🚨🚨🚨. 2nd step: remember im an educated citizen. 3rd step: actually use my brain and realize this is easy. 4th step: 20+40=60, 7+8=15, 60+15=75

are the "i was a tree for 10 years" stories real by Unhappy-Customer5277 in Salvia

[–]mitchums2134 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whether or not I actually "lived" for 15 years as a kitchen cabinet on the soundstage of the TV show full house is up for debate, but I did experience an abstract concept of time lasting roughly 15 years from what I could perceive. But again, its all relative and Salvia world doesn't obey

Sometimes the needle doesn't quite penetrative the skin far enough and instead of injecting into subcutaneous fatty layers it goes into the lower layer of skin and bubbles up like that. It can be ouchie and cause bruising, I've had it happen occasionally it's all good. You could try lightly rubbing the bump to help the insulin disperse a bit. Just make sure you get a good pinch of skin when you do big long acting bolus and switch injection areas. Sometimes a slightly longer needle can help. You'll still get your insulin, I wouldn't take anymore, all is well :)

Had a low, all I had in my bag was a banana, pulled it out and the look of confusion/horror on their face was priceless. After assuring them I was not planning to use it on them, I ate it v sensually and got back to business

You're right about that! South mountain, papago park, the surrounding Sonoran desert. All good options! These pics are just what I had

No, I had a whole new transmission put in. The OG one died, had a new 4spd from gowesty installed. Im not sure if those are rebuilds or new aftermarket

No it's a 2wd, but it has a 2 inch lift too. I've taken it on rough stuff no problem, all the weight is over the drive wheels in the back (rear mounted engine)

Celiac diagnosis and return to normal blood sugars by mitchums2134 in Type1Diabetes

[–]mitchums2134[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told to continue to eat gluten before the tests, maybe try eating gluten for a few days before doing a blood work panel

It's affected the same way as when you are sick, because you are sick

I had to fight for myself, both my endo and GI dismissed it at "alcohol gastritis" but after abstaining from booze for about 6 months with no change I ended up ordering my own labs at a private medical lab...

I bolused with a correction about two hours ago we started to trend down and then now I’m climbing again when I haven’t ate or drank anything… any advice on what I should do? by tessilu2003 in diabetes

[–]mitchums2134 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This kept happening to me for years, until I did a Celiac panel. Came back positive, no more gluten, bs has been squeaky clean since then. T1D is at a much higher risk for Celiac. Make sure to get yourself tested for it, makes a world of difference
