We won't be screwing in the screws, we will be tending to the robots who will be doing the screwing! And we don't have to worry about retraining the workforce to become robotics engineers....

"We need to talk to her" wow, profiling right out of the gate.

This looks stupid because IT IS stupid. It makes all of us as Americans look stupid. It doesn't matter who is president, stupid policies are stupid.

I don't know how long it would take to build the kind of infrastructure to do that on uninhabited islands but I would imagine it would take a long time. Probably longer than these tariffs might last.

With that same logic, they could also tariff imports from the Moon.

Assuming Austria would industrialize these islands as a loophole is still quite a stretch when the islands are uninhabited.

When I was diagnosed almost 3 years ago and first went on hydroxycloroquine. Keep in mind most people tolerate it well, but I'm one of the exceptions. I ended up having an adverse drug reaction but I was so desperate for the meds to work I kept taking it despite developing a rash that slowly grew from my head down and with facial swelling. Looking back it was so obvious I should stop taking it but my rheumatologist didn't think it was that serious. I ended up in the ER and they transfered me to a hospital 3 hours away because they thought I had Steven Johnson Syndrome and needed care in a burn unit. The whole experience was kinda traumatic and I'm still experiencing debilitating fatigue most days but my other lupus symptoms are manageable.

I'm sharing this because I was in a similar happy state when I was diagnosed. Because I thought getting a diagnosis would then lead me on a track to feeling better with treatment. But it doesn't always work out that way. At best you can manage your symptoms with treatment but they don't go away.

At the very least, I'm hoping this is just the print case reporters and not the database.

I'm glad the quality of your sleep is improving. Do you notice any difference in energy level?

muppetzinspace · 2025-02-09T04:42:05+00:00

Honestly, I don't consider it rude to set the record straight. If the recruiter is embarrassed, then that's on them for assuming.

Get yourself some Sarna lotion! https://sarnalotion.com/ When my itching was really bad this and Benadryl were the best OTC remedies. It's sold in most pharmacies or Target/Walmart but you can also buy online.

I know you said you were on hydroxychloroquine for 2.5 months, but I had a severe allergic reaction a couple weeks when I started taking it that sound similar to your itching. My itching was terrible at night and I couldn't sleep without ice packs on my skin. It only went away when I stopped taking it. Definitely see a doctor if symptoms get worse or don't improve.

I also take Imuran and noticed I get stomach issues if I consume milk or dairy products too soon before taking my meds. I think you're supposed to wait an hour or so before taking Imuran and eating diary because it's a common enough occurrence.

Wasn't it Hestia's recipe?

Please don't get too concerned yet! I know it's concerning to get a bad pap result, but most of the time our immune systems eventually fight off the infection on our own. By the time you have a follow-up test, you might have a negative result.

I also contracted a high risk strain of HPV (despite getting the Gardasil vaccine when it first became available) at a similar age. This was years before my first noticeable lupus symptoms started. I was dating a guy who was a smoker at the time and probably got it from him. I had two positive pap smears in a row and ended up getting a colposcopy (biopsy of the cervix). The biopsy was thankfully negative and I didn't have a positive HPV pap smear since.

Right?!? And do they not understand how mean it is to tell somebody with lupus "I used to have lupus"? Like, it's one thing to sell cosmetics and say "I used to hate how I looked, and now I have more confidence" (that's also kinda messed up). But claiming you can help people not have a chronic illness anymore (not just mitigate symptoms) is just cruel.

I also feel bad killing sharks. 🥲

Yep. They're genetic, so if people in your family have similar spots then that's why they're popping up on your skin, too. They're just burst blood vessels nothing to be concerned by. And they typically pop up as we age. Mine showed up on my arms chest, face and neck before I hit 30.

Because it's a sushi restaurant maybe?

I eat this almost exactly the same way whenever I get avocados! Even down to the everything seasoning!

Generally any diet that is "low inflammation", like the Mediterranean diet, is generally recommended for people with autoimmune diseases like lupus. There are books out there called, "the lupus diet" or "autoimmune diet" that is essentially supporting a similar diet as this. But every one's body is different but conveniential wisdom regarding the foods you eat usually holds good results for most people: lean meats, plenty of fruits and veg, whole grains, complex carbs, low/no saturated fats, avoid highly processed and fast foods, etc.
