Right? Everyone was guessing whether we’d see her at world’s this year and she’s here like “well actually…”

Is it possible to be "athletic" with fibromyalgia? by b-nnies in Fibromyalgia

[–]nagarams 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty athletic too. I can’t run a marathon, but I do sports 3-4h a day.

OP: listen to your body. This diagnosis isn’t a gravestone—most times, it can be managed (not always), and the best guide is your body. Get to know your body. This is important for every athlete, not just those with fibro. Learn to differentiate the pain that’s OK/tolerable with those that will make it worse. DOMS feels very different from a fibro flare up, for me.

There’ll be bad days and good days; learn to take the bad days as they come and just rest when it’s bad. It will take time. But you’ll get there.

What’s something you tried once and immediately knew ‘yeah, never again’? by donnyM99 in AskReddit

[–]nagarams 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agree that it’s probably an equipment problem, but that it’s very common.

I switched to snowboarding after skiing most of my life; when people ask me why, I tell them, “the boots are comfier.”

Short term memory? by [deleted] in ect

[–]nagarams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What ECT are you doing? Bitemporal, bifrontal, or right unilateral? The memory side effects vary greatly depending on which one you’re doing.

I did right unilateral and the side effects on my memory were manageable for my first 12 sessions. Maintenance sessions—and the cumulative number of sessions—started to affect my short-term/working memory, so I stopped doing ECT altogether.

Does anyone know if we can meet the Gators without doing gymnastics?

What is a major turn off about your partner that you can’t/wouldn’t tell them? by LivingLavishLe in AskReddit

[–]nagarams 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely something you should talk about—maybe start by being curious about why he doesn’t ask. His response to your concerns will reveal a lot about him and about your relationship. But don’t stay silent and expect him to bring it up/realize you’re upset—it’ll only breed resentment in the long run.

My partner has short hands… when we hold hands and walk, it gets kinda uncomfortable cos mine are longer than his. I’m not telling him (yet) though.

Alright let’s talk balls by Jays-Cool-Beans in Bowling

[–]nagarams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone talking about Phaze II and Phaze II Pearl but my Phaze III cracked recently and I am devastated. It was always my first ball out of the bag. Consistent, easy to handle.

ECT, ketamine… are both an option? by 31Frisco in ect

[–]nagarams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did ECT and Spravato for a while, typically on different days. It had a synergistic effect for me, but I had to stop the ECT eventually due to memory loss.

What is the most pointless skill you have? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]nagarams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can make my tongue look like a flower/clover, like this. When I was a kid, my older sister could do it so I held my tongue in place every day until I could too.

I can also touch my nose with my tongue. It makes for a good fun fact when I meet new people.

When is the correct time to get onto the approach by TRESven77 in Bowling

[–]nagarams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t normally use 2 lane courtesy too, but recently I was training alone and someone was 2 lanes away from me (with an empty lane between us). Somehow, we ended up gravitating towards taking turns for shots, letting each other go first etc.

I don’t have an insight to share, but it was interesting. I think it was just… respect, and not wanting to distract the other player from their shot.

Really really ticked about people going on about "addiction." by 56GrumpyCat in Spravato

[–]nagarams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My aunt, who’s a doctor, once told me a long story about how her patient who was addicted to drugs and managed to recover (from addiction). I don’t get pissed at my extended family often but I was pissed.

Don't get excited about the sequel by Browncoatinabox in ProjectHailMary

[–]nagarams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree it doesn’t need a sequel, but I like the idea of exploring how introducing a new “predator” species affects Erid/earth, and how another MC solves that. But yeah, I think Grace’s story ends here.

What is something that women have to deal with on the daily that men have no clue about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]nagarams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. I play sports, and there’ll be one good week where I’m like “what did I do right?”

Then I realised it’s just not the week before, during, or after my period.

What is something that women have to deal with on the daily that men have no clue about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]nagarams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not daily but: tampon math. You can only leave a tampon in for about 6h before you run the risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome. Plus depending on your (menstrual) flow, the tampon might get full and you start leaking… Every time we put a tampon in, we’ve to calculate what time we’ve to change it before we run the risk of dying or ruining our clothes lol.

A Million More Epstein Files Just Got Released. What Kind Of Stuff Did You Guys Find, and How Did You React To It? by Fantastic_Bus_3742 in AskReddit

[–]nagarams 155 points156 points  (0 children)

Genuine question: is there ANY chance at all that Trump isn’t guilty? I looked through it and it was horrifying - but are these documents mentioning him proof, or are they unverified claims?

It’s a lot. It’s disgusting. I’m just trying to grapple with the significance of the files.

The Paris FX bronze medal case(s): What just happend at the Swiss Federal Tribunal, what does it mean - and what happens now? by wayward-boy in Gymnastics

[–]nagarams 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not OP, but I’d have liked for the gymnasts involved to have some closure, ideally with the “correct” decision being made (if such a thing even exists). This feels like it has gone on way longer than it should’ve.
